PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-At II o'c,ock
today Senator Hanna called on Senator
Plat, and the two had a long talk about
the nomination of a Republican candidate
for Vice President. Hanna, it is said.
asked the New York Senator not TO press
the Roosevelt boom, and said that Senator
Quay was Influenced by personal feeling
in forcing the Governor 10 the front Plat
replied at length. and spoke with er az
frankuess. The talk was entirely friendly
on both sides.
Mr.. Platt said: IF Senator Quay is
pushing Governor Roosevelt in order TO op-
pose you l know nothing about it and l
am not party to it. I am here solely to
do what seems 10 me TO be best. first for
the national ticket and second, for the
State OF New York. Il is my firm cOnVic-
tion that both interests will be best served
by the nomination Of Governor Roosevelt
for Vice President. Until am convinced
10 the contrary. l shall contiT Ie to work
for his nomination. I shall not, II l can
prevent it. permit you to spank the State
Of New York to punish Mr.. Quay. / am
looking solely to the selection Of the
strongest national ticket and the interests
Of New York and have 10 part in any
quarrel between you and Mr. Quay"
Mr.. Hanna urged that Governor ROOse-
Welt would not strengthen the national
ticket. and said that if Mr.. Plat would
change his views the nomination Of the
Governor could be prevented To this Mr..
Platt replied in substance:
1t has been demonstrated here that the
Republicans Of the country want Governor
Roosevelt nomina'5 u. A majority Of the
delegates are for him, II permitted 20 ex-
press their persooA choice. I am deter
mined that they shall have a chance TO
express their choice in the Convention.
and il We cannot agree. why, let ali the
candidates go in and the best one --in-
I cannot permit you. in your differences
with Senator Quay. TO use the State OF
New York TO prevent the free choice Of

scOrnfully laugh at every report alleging

thousands OF dollars are being wagered
this morning by New Workers and Phila-
delphians on Roosevelts nomination on
the first ballot. Some bets are being made
that the Rough Riders name VIII be the
only one voted on by the Convention.
Senator Lodge has taken the manage
ment Of Longs campaign out Of the hands
Of Joe Manley. and has organized the en-
tire vote OF New England solidly around

means that Lodge really has broken away
from the Administration. whose spokes-
man he has been on the floor Of the Senate

inner circles Of the Hannaites here can

activity means that the Rough Rider has
