WITH DELEGATIONS.
Pennsylvania Takes Lead in Advo-
eating Roosevelt.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-The Penn
sylvania delegation met this afternoon
and unanimously reelected Col M S
Quay national committeeman for this
state. Col. Quay presided, and ne was
also made chairman of the delegation
On motion of Senator Penrose the dele
cation was pledged to Mckinley Chair
man Quay said this was scarcely neces-
sary, but he put the motion as a matter
of form. Senator Penrose then moved
that the delegation be instructed for
Roosevelt for vice president. State Sen
ator c. L. Magee (anti-Quay) asked for
a roll call. Congressman NJ. B. VII
liams inquired whether Roosevelt would
accept if indorsed. Senator Penrose
said:
81 can assure the gentleman and other
delegates that Gov. Roosevelt will ac-
ceSt If the nomination is rendered him y
Senator Finn (anti-Quay) thought it
rather early to tie up the delegation.
To this suggestion Chairman Quay re-
piled that there was nothing binding in
the motion: that it merely showed the
preference of the delegation.
The roll call was then made, resulting:

reports this afternoon. The committee
deputed to look over the New England
field reported that every state in that
section will vote solidly for Long The
representations from nearly all the
Southern states were to the effect, In
general, that the delegates from that
section will vote for the man who is ac-
ceptable to the administration.
The Cook county delegates. of Illinois
as well some of the delegates from the
state, lean toward Dolliver, as do also
delegates from Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska.
The Pacific states, the committee says
will vote for the far Western candidates
in the field, while the sentiment among
the Northern states east of the Missis-
sippi Is strong for a New York man, pro-
vided the Empire state delegation can
unite on a candidate
Most of the subcommittees reported
that Secretary Long was very strong as
choice for vice president
The committee delegated to get into
communication with Mr.. Long for the
purpose of learning his wishes reported
that the secretary of the navy left the
matter in the hands of the delegation.
He had no preference as to who should
place him in nomination, or who should
ton that Senator Lodge have the honor
of naming him.
The Nebraska delegation discussed the
vice presidential question this afternoon
and decided to express no preference
Roosevelt was the strongest candidate
but Nebraska had hoped a Western man
would be selected.
The tabling of a Roosevelt resolution
was the event Of the day at the meeting
of the Michigan delegation. though this
was construed by many as favorable to
Roosevelt's ultimate welfare. resolu-
ton in favor of Roosevelt was opposed
as premature, and it was tabled In or
der to avoid possible misconstruction of
this action. D. M. Ferry, the Republican
candidate for governor, and w. II. Ell
liott, the new national committeeman
from Michigan, were designated as
committee to explain the situation to Mr.
Roosevelt. They told the governor the
Michigan delegates felt that his accept
ance of the vice presidency would stand
in the way of his choice for the presi-
dency four years hence, which was con-
sidered the honor that awaited him. and
that the vice presidential resolution was
tabled as averse to his interests.
Gov. Roosevelt expressed himself as
pleased with what had been done, and
said that he hoped other delegations
would do the same.
The delegates from Montana held
a caucus tonight and selected Sena-
tor Thomas H. Carter to be the chair
man of the delegation in the convention.
The Hon. William H. Dewitt was elected

complimentary criticism of Wocdrun.
Gossip among New Workers even went
so far as to suggest that with Roose-l
welt transferred to the national ticket,
Woodruff was already agreed upon as
the candidate for governor of New
York
Roosevelt had also other advisers who
insisted that it would be suicide to de-
cline the nomination. AS the situation
now exists, notwithstanding Roosevelt's
virtual declaration that, if nominated,
he cannot decline, he may not be nomi-
mated, after all. All day long Hanna's
efforts have been directed to the rebuild
Ing of the booms wrecked yesterday in
the Roosevelt tornado. All the favorite
sons have been encouraged to remain in
the race, and not without some success.
TIME IS A BOON.
The nomination for vice president is
three days away. Much can be accom-
plished in that time by shrewd, hard
headed political leaders. The delegates
are all desirOus of carrying out the presi-
dents wishes, and If the intimation once
became conviction that Mr.. Mckinley
himself would prefer another candidate,
the popular choice would be abandoned.
Mr.. Platt very shrewdly decided that the
New York delegation should not formal
ly indorse Roosevelt. 1t is said that
Roosevelt insisted upon this Then If he
were nominated 1t would be patent that
the nomination was forced upon him. But,
While the New York delegation refrained
from indorsing Roosevelt, Platt is said
to have passed the word to Quay and
the Pennsylvania delegation to continue
to fan the flame.
All day the delegates and the crowd
were abandoning themselves to the joys
OF the hour. From dawn until midnight
the air never ceased to throb to the
pulsations of music, and the streets con-
stantly echoed the steady tramp of feet
as famous marching clubs paraded with
flying banners.
Tonight the throngs were enthusiastic
with delight AS a prelude to the con-
vention tomorrow, with the flash and
scream of rockets and the glare of Greek
hre, turning night into day, 10000 organ
lied Republicans marched through the
streets amid great enthusiasm The
crowds overfiowed the sidewalks till the
procession seemed to force it's way
through the packed mass of humanity as
a strong vessel ploughs her course up
stream through packed ice in winter
Although the work of the convention
could be compassed within two days, the
national committee has arranged a three
days programme, with one session of~the
convention each day The nights will be
filled in with receptions, smokers enter
tainments at the clubs and open-air meet
ings.
Tomorrow the session of the conven-
ton probably will be brief. 1t will be
called to order by Chairman Hanna, and
Senator Wolcott, the brilliant Colorado
orator, as temporary chairman, will de-
liver his keynote address. A call of the
roll and the announcement of the stand
ing committees with the perfection of the
permanent organization will wind up the
proceedings of the day
