"T.R' BANGED AGAIN
New YORK State Republican
Committee Turns Him
Down Cold and Hard
SHERMAN RECOMMENDED


Temporary Chairman OF the Repub-
iican Convention at Saratoga Ii the
"0ld Guard" Can Prevent Ii. His
Second Defeat mt Their Hands.
New York Aug 16.-Theodore Roos-
evelt matched strength with the "old
guard of the Republican party in
New York State TO-DAY and met de-
, cisive defeat. The Republican State
committee in session here, by vote
of 20 to 15 refused to recommend him
for temporary chairman of the State
convention, which meets at Saratoga
on September 81. Instead, Vice Presi-
dent James S. Sherman was select
ed.
This is Roosevelts second defeat at
the hands of the "old guard. the first
having been the Legislatures refusal
to pass the Cobb direct primary BILL
although Mr.. Roosevelt especially en-
dorsed it. With his defeat today, plans
for harmony within the party in the
State received a severe setback; and
as soon as Mr.. Roosevelt heard the
news he issued statement
in which he enrolled himself
as progressive, so far as
the New York State situation
goes. 1t was his most pointed politi-
cal statement since his return, and
those who saw hip were convinced
that he had determined to begin an
open fight on the "old guard.
Although repudiated today, 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 keynote speech, and the
State committees recommendation of
Mr. Sherman for the place served no.
tice on the EX-President and his sup
porters that the "old guard would
give him a fight to the end In the in
terval between now and September
27, it is expected that the struggle
between the organization and the
Roosevelt-Hughes forces will be car
rled 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.
Whether Mr.. Sherman lent his sup
port to the movement which resulted
in Mr.. Roosevelt's defeat has not
been established definitely.
Lloyd G.. Griscom, chairman of the
New York Republican county commit
tee. who presented Roosevelt's name
today, said tnis evening:
"I do not know whether today's
action by the committee will have any
effect on Mr.. Roosevelts attitude dur
ing the State campaign. Mr.. Roose-
welt is to be a delegate to the State
convention. 1t seems to me that, as the
only living Ex-President of the United
States, the party in his State owes
him at least the temporary chair
manship.
"NIr. Taft so far as | know, did not
anticipate that Mr.. Roosevelts name
would be presented to the committee.
If he had known he would have pre-
vented the action that was taken. The
selection of Vice President Sherman
cannot be construed as an indorse-
ment of the Taft administration which
needed no such Endorsement"
