A STAMPEDE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Philadelphia. June 20.-Judge Bart
lett Tripp to-day authorized James M.
Ashton, of Washington, to formally an
nounce that he had withdrawn from the
vice presidential contest, and desired
the delegates who formed his support to
vote for Roosevelt. Ashton announced
that a large majority of the delegates
from Washington, Oregon, Utah and
North and South Dakota would support
Roosevelt. The Minnesota delegation
decided to present the name of former
Senator w. D. Washburn as Minneso-
ta's choice for the vice presidency. At
II o'clock Senator Hanna went into con-
ference with Senators Lodge, Spooner
and others. Having heard of Wiscon-
SINS vote to support Roosevelt, he
showed signs of weakening. He Is re-
ported to have said: Gentlemen, we do
not want to lose sight of the fact that
this Roosevelt sentiment Is much great
er than the combination of Quay and
Platt for it. The west and south are
likely to force 1t. don't feel that their
wishes should be combated too fiercely."
ROOSEVELT TALKS.
Philadelphia, June 2O.-The tide con-
tinued to set steadily toward Roosevelt
all forenoon, and arrivals from Wash
ington brought the word that the pres
ident absolutely refused to allow the
administration influence for or against
any candidate. When Governor Roose-
welt was told that Hanna intimated
that the west and the south were
strongly for Roosevelt, and he (Hanna)
did not feel like stemming the tide, he
said: II have done everything can to
stop it. cannot do more. have won
my own state to support my fight, and
am proud of it. If Hanna thinks the
demand for my nomination Is over
whelming, why don't he say so to me?
Why don't he announce his decision
and not stay in a neutral position. I
have not heard from him since he an
nounced to me that he was against my
nomination." Mr.. Odell said: 1--WE are
for Woodruff, but think Roosevelt can
be nominated without New York's
vote" Senator Platt declined to say
anything on the subject.

hardly make his way to the platform
owing to the pressure Of the delegates
