Much Comment on Roosevelt s
Alignment with the New York
Progressives.
TAFT, HOWEVER, is SILENT
Heavy Pressure Will Be Brought
to Bear on Ballinger to Re-
sign before He's Forced
TO Leave Cabinet.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 1e beverly was
completely upset tonight when news
came of the defeat Of Theodore Roosevelt
for temporary chairman of the New York
republican State convention The fact
that Lloyd G. Griscom had been in con-
ference with President Taft as late as
Saturday night and Sunday, added to
Tie sensation that the dispatches Gre

Secretary Norton carried tn. news to
the President tonight. Mr. TAFT made
no comment for publication. There is
nothing here to Indicate that he know
of NJ Grisco'ns plan to force vote on
MIR. Rooseyrlts name.
Sr far as can ho learned. Mr. Griscorn's
talk with the President had to do solely
with the general situation in New York

harmony ought 20 he brought about #
possible before tho Saratoga convention

Roosevelt and the President is discred-
tied In Beverly.
The statement issued by Mr.. Roose
welt tonight, apparently placing him
self s0uarelv on the side OF the pro-
gressives. has created much comment
here. What effect to-day's develop
mcnts in New York may have upon
the reorganization plans that have
been in progress here must. Of course,
for n time remain a matter of con-
lecture. So far as can be learned
there is a disposition here to stand
pat on the plans as announced.
Senator Crane of Massachusetts. the
central figure in the reorganization
plans. was here late this afternoon and
spent two hours with the President
He would not discuss his visit. but It
Is known that he submitted n verbal
report to the president of his observa-
tions in the West and what he had
lea rned moro recently In New Iamp-
shire and Vermont.
With regard to the reports that the
REORGANIZATION plans might 60 on the

rotary F'alllnger to resign. 1t Is stated
that whom Senator Crane was first
called into the situation. 1t was by a
telegram asking If he could under
take a mission to the West FOR the
President" This mission turned out
to be n conference with Secretary
T}allingcr regarding his retirement
from the cabinet. It Is known that
heavy pressure will he brought to
bear upon Mr.. Ballinger to resign
without putting the President in the
position of asking for that resiena-
ton. The 18th Of September will tell
the story and no one apparently in
the meantime can tell just what the
outcome will he.
