ernor Roosevelt and he Is strong In ms
pronunciation of the effort 10 force the
nomination upon the governor
URGED BY DoLLIvER's MEN.
The interview opened by a statement
By Mr.. Young TO Governor Roosevelt
10 the effect that the Doliiver men de-
sired. II possible. 10 gain some definite
idea as to what he desired or intended
TO do.
1T Is easy to say what ] desire TO
do. replied the governor with a laugh.
81 desire TO be governor Of New YORK
again and / do not desire TO be nomi-
mated for Vice President Of the United
States"
"Can you give us an idea OF what
YOU intend TO do?' asked Mi Roberts
well" replied the governor these
fellows have placed me In an aWtul
position / want 10 be governor OF
New York for another term at least
and DO not care to be nominated Tor
Vice President But they are forcing
the matter on all sides and IL is going to
be very difficult to decline IT, If / re-
fuse 1t people viii say that Roosevelt
has the big head and thinks he Is too
much a man TO be Vice President
do not care to be placed In such posi-
ton, Tor It is not true that ] hold
any such opinion Of myself
"Then why governor, said Mr..
OC0nnell, don't you take the stand
taken by Senator Allison when they
tried to get him 10 take the place w
He simply said 81 don't want IT, gem
tlemen, l will not take IT, good day
NOT IN ALLIsON's SHOES.
Possibly the pressure brought to
bear upon me is somewhat stronger
than that placed upon the senator re-
piled Roosevelt.
THE situation Is right here, COVER
nor" said Mr. Young. These people
who are trying 10 get you 20 take this
place do not care anything for YOU.
They simply think that YOU of all men
can lend strength to the ticket They
think YOU can carry the state of New
York. They do not care TO have you
carry il for the Republican party. They
know you can carry it either as COVER
nor or as Vice President. They want
you To carry It as Vice President for
their own purposes. ana they are un-
willing that you should carry 1t for your
own purposes or for the good of the
party. Now II you accept the nominal
lion you are simply playing into their
hands and making yourself party
to their schemes.
ION come. now, Young, you are too
hard on them, said the governor, with
q laugh.
II am not hard at all, replied Mr..
Young. IL am simply stating the situa-
1 10 a.
everybody else know il exists This
man cannot hurt you IL you decline
TO take the nomination No man can
hurt Roosevelt save Roosevelt him
self"
WOULD NOT PROMISE.
"Wen. gentlemen" said the governor,
81 have said all that ] can say at The
present time. MI Hanna ANA a num-
Der OF other gentlemen are waiting To
see me and I win be glad TO see you
all at any time
Then YOU cannot give as any posi-
tive assurance az this time as to What
Won viii do?" asked Mr. O'Connell
II have said an that l can say at the
present time" was the reply.
AT u o'clock Senator Hanna came
out of Rooscyelt's room. lie said;
"The governor stands just where he
has always been. He does not want the
nomination. IL Is a question whether on
mon The convention VIII be st0mpeded
for him."
"Wm you try and. prevent the STAN
pede?' he was asked.
II cannot say. That must DE deter
mined later. ] am looking out for the
interests OF the Republican party ana
we win try and DO what is best Tor the
party" A.
when the senator descended TO his
room he was met by Mr.. Bliss. MT
Grosvenor and other men close 70 tne
administration, and they immediately
went into a private conference IN HAN
mas room.
HANNA OBJECTS TO ROOSEVELT
II transpired that during the con-
fercnce In R0oseyelts room, Senator
Hanna combatted the populer impress
Sion that Roosevelt Is the only man
who can be nominated and said;
II think we can nominate some one
else besides Roosevelt
For Gods sake go ahead and do H.
responded the governor.
THAT'S right" said Senator Lodge.
Tets 20 ahead and nominate some
what is the matter with Long"
asked Hanna.
Nothing" replied Lodge.
Go ahead and nominate him.
no ONE ELSE YET
Gathering from the tone OF Senator
Lodges remark that, although the
senator was supporting Long, he had
yerv little hope that Long would be
nominated. Senator Hanna continued
well what IS the matter with falr-
banks?'
Nothing I'm the world responded
Lodge. Go ahead and nominate him.
Nominate anybody We are all stand
inc ready To help YOU
Mr.. ODell assured the conference
,bat New York would take no action
forcing Governor Roosevelt on the con-
ven,jon. and would probably not take
any action at an on the vice presl-
