OLD GUARD LEADERS
Z ADMITTEDLY SURPRISED
At the Strength Shown by Supporters
of Roosevelt for Chairman.

New York, Sept. 21.-Old guard lead
ers who are fighting for control of the
republican state convention at Sara
toga next week were admittedly sur
prised today when the news reached
them that the supporters of Colonel

instructed it's delegates to the state
convention to support Colonel Roose-
Welt for temporary chairman and to
support direct primaries.

the republican state committee by

Yesterdays defeat in the primaries
of Vice President Sherman, the old
guard candidate for temporary chair
man of the state convention, in his
home district in Oneida county. was
not altogether unexpected. but the loss
of Schenectady county today was a
surprise even to the progressives here.
1T is an interesting straw showing
which way the sentim snt in New York
is going. said Lloyd C. Griscom, the
leader Of the Roosevelt forces tonight
so far as the forces of the old guard
are concerned. it is a great ter blow even
than the loss Of Vice President <Sher-
mans home district yesterday, because
ii is a part of Mr.. Barnes congression-
al district territory which was regard
ed as inpregnable.
IF any doubt has existed in the
mind of anyone as to the outcome of
the efforts which are being put forth to
control the state convention today's
events at Schenectady should be suff1-
cient to Danish it. look for Colonel
Rooseveit's election as temporary
chairman by substantial majority"
