BARNES VS.. ROOSEVELT


The Albany county republicans yester-
day elected twenty-eight anti-Roosevelt
delegates to the state convention. with
William Barnes, jr., at their head. Mr..
Barnes made little speech. in which he
said:
I'm selecting delegates to the state
convention we are about to name men
who are to face q crisis in the history OF
the republican party in this state more
serious than many imagine.
1.-THE traditions and history, the very
meaning Of the party, have been assailed
by an individual who seeks to control its
policies and its candidates by appeals to
passion.
The orderly procedure Of our coming
state convention is already threatened by
an attempt to override the action OF the
state committee In selecting Vice Presi-
dent Sherman as its temporary chairman

ton in Saratoga. IT think I may be
reasonably safe in saying that we shall
have 100 majority" he said yesterday.
But Vice President Sherman is just as
certain that Col. Roosevelt will not be
temporary chairman Of the convention
and that Mr.. Sherman will. II shall re-
main here in Utica until the republican
state convention meeting in Saratoga
he said in reply to a question yesterday,
and then 1 am going there to preside"
Yesterday was the first time that Mr..
Roosevelt has made prediction as to
the outcome of the fight between the
progressives and the old guard. The
reports he received yesterday from his
lieutenants convinced him. however. that
1t was all over but the shouting and that
unless some unexpected reversal should
be met the organization would be forced
to retreat before his forces.
After q conference with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Otto T. Barnard made the prediction
that the convention would adopt reso-
luton strongly indorsing the administra-
ton of President Taft and that this
would not be opposed by any delegates
friendly to the ex-President. This was
taken az an indication that Mr.. Roosevelt
had agreed with the others upon this
program.
Lloyd c. Griscom reported to Mr..
Roosevelt yesterday at Sycamore Hill
that there had been several accessions
to the progressive ranks, among them
delegates from Duchess and Montgom-
cry counties. and that there might be
more. He also predicted that the ma
jor1ty OF the progressives in the con-
vention would be 100 or more.
Among the men who are now being
mentioned as possible gubernatorial Sc
lections are Elias Mann, former mayor
OF Troy: Frederick C. Stevens, state SUI
perintendent of highways; State Senators
Frederick NJ. Davenport and Harvey d.
Hinman, William H. Hotchkiss, state su-
perintendent of insurance: Jacob Gould
Shurman, president Of Cornell University,
