Ots1kh BAY, Aug. IL Following IN"
rebuff that the New York Republican State
committee administered To Mr.. Roosevelt
yesterday in turning him down for the
temporary Craftsmanship Of the conven-
ton and selecting in his stead Vice Presi-
dent sherman it ran he stated positively
tonight that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft
have broken The action OF the com
mittee. which Mr. Sherman charac-
terized a. a victory for the Administra-
ton. has fastened the break expected
for long time by those who have watched
Mr. Roosevelt since his return from Africa
There 10 no doubt Of u now.
From trustworthy sources Il can be
stated tonight that the turning down Of
Roosevelt is taken by Roosevelt men To
be the result Of a deal between the Ad-
ministration and members Of the New
York State committee whereby the old
guard il TO hand over its delegates to
Taft In 1912 in return for the Administra-
tons backing in the forthcoming cam
paign. Conferences between the Presi-
dent and Woodruff. Ward and Sherman
IOlIONtu tnt utttnt OF the uiregt uOfutua-
tons bill which Roosevelt Endorsed
Mr.. Roosevelt himself has made no
move since he got back that il construed
a. an attack against the Administration,
but the Colonel has done a whole lot Of
think ing. He found that many ~ my
policies were not being carried out.
His friend Pinchot was removed. certain
ideas that he had entertained in relation
tn hn "a "a had hsNar AfarnOa rffeA and
there were other things. Those who are
close to Mr.. Roosevelt say that now that
h hAs broken away from the Admins
tration he will pursue the same policy
he parsued before he went away from
the wkne House. He will pick up the
thread where he dropped il. He will look
forward. and not backward. In his
speeches on the forthcoming Western
trip IL ~ very likely that Mr. Roosevelt
will define his position. At least IN part,
but IL - certain that he will be under
stood within the next few months
When he learned yesterday that the
machine had dumped him the Colonsl
Was not surprised The brief statement
h. lssued only partly defined his attitude.
He had luncheon with william l.. Ward
Of We-tchester. and he told Wari that
he understood tn. whole situation. Al
various times State Chairman Timothy
/ l. Woodruff. Vice President sherman
and Mr. WArd had conferred with Presi-
dent Taft
II 10 thought here that the question 81
direct primaries had a. much 10 do with
th,. ssv-ring of relations between tn
President aud Mr. Roosevelt any other
one factor When the question Was pend
ing h~forr tn. New York Legislature and
the fight was hot the Pr--id"n, made ~

cording to the same sources of lnforma-
lion here. that tn" state chairman prom
is-d thu. New York delegates for 1912 Ia
return for the backing of the Idministra-
ton IN tins state since that time Mr..
Roo-evelt's suggestion that a progressive
platform in Ohio lie adopted has been
ignored and his nephew, Theodore Doug
las Robinson has been beaten At the
from Herkimer and Oneida. He was
whipped by the machine with which Mr..
sherman has been identified
just what the results Of this break
between Presi,ien' Taft and Mr.. Roo-e-
Welt will he IL IL difhcult tn figure at present.
II IL understood that Collector William
Loeb. Jr. one of MIR Roosevet's closest
friends. and County Chairman Lloyd c.
Griscom will continue 20 work with the
Administration The Colonel ~ not going
to critioise Mr. Taft and whatever he
SAYS will have reference 10 the future
and not TO bygones
Mr.. Roosevelt said to-day that he does
not know what he will do in regard TO the
Saratoga convention. He said he was
glad TO be relieved OF the responsibility
he might have had in case he was chosen
Temporary chairman. He will confer with
Congressman Cocks and will meet some
of the Republican leaders 81 Nassau
county " 10 likely that he will attend
the convention a. q delegate. hut there
10 slim chance OF his acting rs temporary
chairman even IL the convention revers~s
the resolution Of the state committee.
The Colonel is not jubilant over the out
look in this state. He will strive in the
future to give his Vows on public qtles-
tiOns a. he used Go do. He is chock iuil
Of progressive notions. although he has
not said that he N in entire sympathy
with all Of the things done by insurgents
who somstimes call themselves progrss-
sives.
Mr.. Roosevelt IL in the fight again. 4
