OLD GUARD IN NEW
YORK REJECTS
ROOSEVELT
Turns Down Former President
as Temporary Chairman
NAMES VICE PRES. SHERMAN
Action is not Final, However, as
Delegates to Convention viii
Choose Presiding Officer.

New York, Aug. 17.-TheodorG
Roosevelt matched strength with the
old guard" of the republican party in
New York state yesterday and met
decisive defeat The republican state
committee, in session here, by vote
of 20 to IS, refused to recommend
him for temporary chairman of the
state convention, which meets at
Saratoga on September q. Instead,
Vice President James S. Sherman
was selected.
This is Roosevelts second defeat
at the hands of the old guard, the
first having been the Legislatures re-
fusal to pass the Cobb direct primary
bill, although Mr.. Roosevelt especial
ly endorsed it, With his defeat yester-
day, plans for harmony with in tho
party in the state received a severe
setback; and as soon as Mr.. Roose
welt heard the news he issued a state
men in which he enrolled himself as
progressive, so far as the New York
state situation goes 1t was his most
pointed political statement since his
return, and those who saw him were
convinced that he had determined to
begin an open fight on the old guard.
The statement follows:-
ITO the various persons who have
asked me whether | would accept
the position of temporary chairman
of the state convention, / said would
do so only If they were surt, after
knowing my attitude, that they de-
sired me, because my speech would
be of such a character that 1t might
help if the convention nominated tho
right kind of a man, on a clear cut.
progressive platform; but that II
would hurt If neither the right kind
OF a man were nominated nor the
right kind Of platform adopted"
Although rebuffed it does not
necessarily mean that Roosevelt
will not be temporary chairman. The
convention delegates themselves will
decide who is to open the meeting
and deliver the keynte speech, and
the state committees recommends
ton OF Mr.. Sherman for the place
served notice on the ex-president and
his supporters that the old guard
would give him a fight to the end
In the intervals between now and Sep
TENDER %, II is expected that the
struggle between the organization and
the Rooseyelt-Hughes forces will be
carried into every corner OF the
state, and that the chief issue will be
at the primaries for the election OF
Roosevelt or anti-Roosevelt delegates
to the convention.
Mr.. Roosevelt had planned TO keeI

man Woodruff have expressed IN,

clans tonight. Both sides were agree,
that the action of the state com
mittee today had no connection will

THE BEST SEASON EVER
Every Available Room in Manchester
Taken This Summer.


Manchester, Aug. 16.-The present
season in this resort is the best in the
history of the town very available
room in town is taken, and the Equi-
nox house is nightly obliged to turn
away those whom the management is
unable to provide for. The spacious
accommodations have been taxed to
the limit for two weeks, and the vast
volume of business seems to warrant
an increase in facilities. 1t is rum
ored that the hotel people will add to
their equipment the coming season, in
the shape of additional rooms and the
building of large garage to accom-
modate 100 cars. They recently have
built a road through their property
to connect with Seminary avenue.
and 1t is thought that they will make
use Of the old Episcopal church site
for garage the coming season.
