ON ROOSEVELT As
7AFT'S ENVOY
Ohio Congressman Calls on Former
President To Heal Breach With
President Taft, According To
a.. Political Wiseacres.
Roosevelt Is Not Anxious for Settle
ment Unless His Foes Come To
H. His Terms.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 20.-Ef-
forts to bridge the chasm between
Oyster Bay and Beverly were begun
today.
Son-in-law Nicholas Longworth
came to Oyster Bay today fresh from
the golf links and political councils of
Beverly. There is no doubt here to-
day that Longworth comes as an en-
voy from the president to measure
accuracy of the Taft Roosevelt breach,
and to do his best to repair the dam
age. Col. Roosevelt refuses to indi-
cate the chances for a reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Collector VIM. Loeb,
Jr., and County Chairman Lloyd c.
Griscom, Of New York, are preparing
to go to Beverly, to try their hands
at peace-making. They are not going
as Roosevelt emissaries. for the
colonel declares he knows nothing of
their plans. But both Loeb and Girls
com. as well as many other Republi-
cans are admittedly alarmed over the
Hoosevelt-Taft situation. They real
1se That IL 1t comes to an open fight,
ROOSEVELT vs. Taft, they will be placed
between the horns of a most unpleas-
ant dilemma and called upon to stand
up and be counted on one side or an
other So they have busted them
selves. Following the council of war
at Sycamore Hill Thursday they have
made preparations to undertake their
peace-making visit to Beverly.
1t Ia pretty well understood that
Colonel Roosevelt is not over anxious
Tor the success of their mission.
1t Is probable that any terms OF
compromise that might be satisfactory
to Roosevelt would be too drastic for
acceptance by the administration and
that refusal to compromise by Bev-
erly would only intensity the trouble.
Colonel Roosevelt today emphatic
ally denied that he had authorized
either Griscom, Loeb or anyone to
deliver an ultimatum- to President
Taft. He Enthusiastically consigned
the authors Of the story today to the
Ananias club.
Il have sent no ultimatum to Presi-
dent Taft" declared the colonel indig-
nantly. "The report is a tissue OF
falsehood from beginning to end and
has no warrant in fact"
Roosevelt said that he had given
neither Griscom, or Loeb any mission
to Beverly.

MUsSELMAN CONFIDENT.
Says He's Sure He'll Be Nominated
For Governor.

Amos S. Musselman, one Of the
three Republican candidates for the
nomination for governor of Michigan,
stated in his Detroit headquarters in
the Ford building, Saturday afternoon,
that he was convinced that he would
win in the primaries.
II am candidate without any po-
litical handicaps." said Mr.. Mussel-
man, and the voters will favor me
in preference to my opponents, both
of whom have been in politics a long
time. | have been telling the cleo
tors that If they nominate either Of
the other two candidates they cannot
hope for any material change in the
present administration, and that is
the truth. One of them is condemn
ing and the other defending the po-
litical powers that be, and IL one be
nominated he will simply keep the
oficeholders now on the state payroll.
while If the other be selected another
lot of the same kind will be intro
duced. II they choose me, however,
they will get a hard-hcaded business
man, who will give them clean ad-
ministration."
