the State committee on August 10.
were formulated by Timothy l..
Woodruff, chairman Of the commit
tee: William Barnes. Jr.. of Albany,
and other leaders of the Old Guard
at a conference at Republican State
headquarters today. There was every
indication when the conference was
over that Colonel Roosevelt will not
be disappointed in his hope that there
will be plenty of fighting.
Mr.. Woodruff returned TO the city
as the result OF the publication of
the letter which President Taft sent
last Monday 10 Lloyd c. Griscom
chairman of the County Committee
in which the President charged Vice
President Sherman with duplicity IL
obtaining the place Of temporary
! chairman. The letter. Mr. Woodruff
/ indicated yesterday came as the big
surprise OF his life and he issued a
statement explaining the part he had
! taken In the transaction of August
I o. According TO the State chairman
the substituting of Colonel Roose-
yelt's name in place Of Mr.. sherman s
by Mr.. Griscom at that meeting came
as a distinct surprise 10 him and en-.
tirely without warning. The name OF
Mr.. sherman, he said. had been
agreed upon at the conference the
night before the meeting and he did
not consider il proper that prece-
dent next day should be upset and
another candidate substituted. Alr.
Woodruff puts the responsibility for
the action of the committee squarely
mp 20 Mr. Griscom. The state chairman
makes public a copy of a letter he
sent TO Colonel Roosevelt the day
after the meeting OF the committee.
in which he explained the situation
20 Colonel Roosevelt. and he init
mated that the colonel might properly
have given the letter out himself.
Mr.. Woodruff makes the point that
Colonel Roosevelt should have mott
fed either himself or National Com
mitteeman William l., Ward and not
Mr.. Griscom that he wanted the Of

Unless ce-President James S. Sher
man changes his mind he will never
be a candidate again for a political
Office. This construction was put upon
a statement which he made here yes
terday.
Vice-President Sherman repeatedly
refused TO say anything on politics
TO the reporters questioning him.
But il was learned today that he did
say TO some OF the incorporators of
the Northern New York Trust Com
pany. in which he is a heavy stock
holder, that when he retired from
the Office which he now holds he
would quit politics for good. He said
emphatically that his statement was
no joke and that he meant exactly
what he said.

woODRUFF EXPLAINS.

Mr.. Woodruff's statement tonight
is I'm part az follows.
Nothing that has transpired since
the meeting OF the Republican state
committee nor anything that has been
said since then should mislead any
one as to the condition of the situa-
tion which then existed. In accord
ance with the precedent established
two years ago in the selection of
Senator Root as temporary chairman
of the State convention. l and some
of those who have been associated
with me in the management OF the
Republican Party through the two
last political campaigns met the
night before the meeting OF the
state committee and after the con
sideration OF several names. decided
TO present to the committee the name
OF Vice President Sherman as tenn
porary chairman, a selection which
We had every reason 10 believe would
be highly satisfactory TO the Repub-
licans of the State.
Much TO my surprise and entire
ly without warning, Mr.. Griscom,
who sat in the committee as proxy
and who had been in the State com
mittee rooms for nearly an hour be
fore the meeting without saying a
word 10 me about it, moved TO sub
stitute the name Of Mr.. Roosevelt
for that of Mr.. Sherman, with full
knowledge which every one had had
all the morning that majority OF
the committee were committed TO
Vice President Sherman's selection.
What Mr.. GriscOm's motive was in
placing Mr.. Roosevelt in the position
of being defeated 7 could not then
comprehend. nor is il important TO
discuss il now.
President Taft was in no way in
volved in this matter, as the members
OF the State committee acted entire
ly within their authority in selecting
temporary chairman. without, as
far as / know a single one of them
consulting with him about it; but,
in view of the apparent afiront to
Mr. Roosevelt caused by the action

HOPES FOR HARMONY.

Mr.. Woodruff expresses the hope
that harmony will prevail at the con
vention and states that the only di-
vergence of opinion should be en-
tirely along the lines OF whether or
not the platform shall declare for di-
rect nominations.
The fact that Colonel Roosevelt in
tends to make a fight in the conven-
ton. he says. will go a long way to
carry out his theory that the cOnven-
ton system is superior to the direct
nomination method Unlike either
Colonel Roosevelt or Mr.. Barnes. Mr..
Woodruff does not express any desire
TO have a fight. Cancellation is much
more TO his liking.
Despite the peaceable tenor Of the
statement. however, only the modus
operandi of how the Insurgents, head.
ed by Colonel Roosevelt. are TO be
, beaten, was considered at the confer
ence, at which Mr.. Barnes was the
controlling spirit. The plan agreed
upon by the Old Guard, it can be
stated positively, is the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt for Governor. BY
making him the candidate of the
party this fall the Old Guard Aopes
TO side-track him completely.
1t is the sentiment of most OF the
members that the Republican party is
going down TO defeat anyway and par
ticularly IL Mayor Gaynor is the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, and
with Colonel Roosevelt buried, he
will be effectively disposed Of both

never was so much surprised in my

said to me before the meeting by
anybody that indicated this course
was TO be taken, and | understand
that neither Griscom nor any one
else told Ward or Barnes or any of
the other men OF the committee that
this was their purpose.
Believing that you must appre-
ciate the position in which. under
these circumstances, we suddenly
found ourselves, after having agreed
upon the selection OF Sherman. in
conformity with the precedent eStab-
lished by the selection Of Senator
Root two years ago as temporary
chairman. I beg TO remain. with best

Yours respectfully.
TIMOTHY l.. WOODRUFF"
Chairman Woodruff urged the CO.
Operation of all Republicans for party
success. and he referred 10 the di-
rect primary plan as the only party
principle Of division in the State, of
which he said:
The spirit that is behind this agi.
tation for direct primary nominations
is far more dangerous than anything
else that the proposition itself en-
bodies.
II am glad to know that Mr.. Roose
welt intends TO so 10 the Saratoga

subjects. The importance of this
convention will thereby be greatly
