New York, Aug. 24.-"Thers win be

having picked up the gauntlet thrown
down by Roosevelt. today began plan

What Next Step viii Be.
The next step In the campaign Of
the old guard of the state will be de-
cided at a conference to be held as

Woodruff has cut short his vacation
on his Adirondack estate to hurry

of the first moves will be the plann-
