NO LONGER BOSS.
THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION
DOWNS ROOSEVELT.
Primary Bill Defeated Despite Urg-
Ing OF the Former President anu OF
Governor Enthusiastically Balks.

Albany, N. Y, June 30.-Theodore
Roosevelt was beaten decisively to-
day. Whatever may be the final
outcome OF his first advent in politics
since his retirement from the White
House. he met defeat fiat-footed at
the hands OF the Republican organiz-
alton In the assembly.
Another defeat at the hands of the
senate Is regarded as probable. The
senators sat u, most OF the night de-
batting whether they should accede to
the ex-president's wishes and finally
voted 20 adjourn sine die at 2 O'Clock
tomorrow. This is taken as an indi-
cation that the senate will agree with
the assembly.
The Cobb direct primary bill was
Isiined In the assembly after a long
hard nght by a vote. so to SO. The
Republicans In the senate held a
cacus tonight but only 23 senator's
were there. They voted to make q
party measure OF the Cobb bill with
the amendments proposed by Lloyd
c. Griscom. chairman of the New
York county Republican committee
and favored by Col. Roosevelt. But II
.akes ss votes to pass a bill in the
senate. 80 that the situation was not
cleared.
There In talk OF still another special
session The assembly this afternon
voted 20 adjourn at o'clock tomor-
row afternoon. and the senate
concurred. III the legislature
quits work with no primary bill pass
ed and without having provided for
necessary financial measures. the
leaders say Gov. Hughes may call It
back again.
Roosevelt was the potent figure In
today's contest. IL was a clear-cut
issue between the ex-president and
the Organization" leaders and the
leaders won.
IL was long. hot. tense day. From
tho moment that Col. Roosevelt sent
his telegraph to Mr.. Griscom urging
the passage Of the bill. things hum
med. The situation suddenly became
one which was regarded Of national
significance. The question was wheth-
er Mr.. Roosevelt Of Sagarnore Hill was
as mighty as a Roosevelt of WASH
iDgton. Those who had previously
supported the Cobb measure, includ-
Ing even Gov. Hughes, slipped into
|, the background. In front OF them all
was the commanding figure of Theo-
dore Roosevelt Speak, pr wadsworth
was frankly glad at the turn things
had taken.
The action Of the assembly today"
Speaker wadsworth said, should not
be construed as gratutious slap at
the sx-president or at the governor.
The assembly feels that IL gave the
fullest and most deliberate consid-
Grafton to the primary reform at the
regular session.
The supreme issue is whether the
assembly shall swallow its convic-
tions and deliberately reverse It's hon
est Judgment and thereby announce
TO the legislatures of the future that
the legislative branch of the govern
ment, supposedly independent, can be
coerced and forced to occupy a sec
ondary position in our system of gov
eminent. 1t Is a question far be-
yond that of the merits or dement's
OF direct primaries"
After debate OF several hours the
senate tonight voted 20 to 2S TO ad-
opt tho, assembly resolution to ad-
journ sine die tomorrow at p. m.
