ROOSEVELT MAY STAY OUT.
He Has Not Decided Whether He'll
Take Part in Campaign

Oyster Bay, Aug. 1S.-Theodore
Roosevelt may stay out of politics in
New York state during the coming
campaign as result of the action Of
the republican state committee in re-
fusing to name him as temporary
chairman of the state convention.
The colonel laughed today as he
talked of the meeting and said that
the result gave him genuine pleasure.
He explained his attitude by saying
that he felt that tie committee re-
lieved him of all responsibility in con-
nection with the conduct and result
of the campaign. He added that he
had not decided whether he would at
tend the convention.
He would talk things over with re-
preventative w. w. Cox and other
political leaders of his home district,
Re said, before deciding, and he was
inclined to the belief that 1t would
be better to stay away and let the

Beverly, Aug. 1S.-Reflecting the

statement in which he says he will
never support Speaker Cannon again
and that he does not believe that
Cannon ever can be reelected. This
is regarded as the actual beginning of
the real fight on Mr.. Cannon.
1t had been regarded as significant
that Mr.. Longworth had been called
into all of the recent conferences of
political character held by Presi-
dent Taft. He was present yesterday
afternoon when the president and
vice president talked together. 1t was
reported then that statement adverse
to Mr.. Cannon was being prepared in
quarters close to the administration
and 1t was also intimated that Mr..
Sherman who, like Mr.. Longworth, has
always been a supporter of Mr.. Can
non, had become retonciled to the
fact that Mr.. Cannon must go.
