TAFT GUT WITH
ROOSEVELT?
New York Newspapers Say
There Has Been a Break
Between Them
DEAL TO DELIVER NEW YORK
VOTE TO THE PRESII E IT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The
breeze which waited the tidings from
Oyster Bay today that Roosevelt has
broken with Taft" carried away much
of the haze which has obsoured the
political horizon for the past few
weeks. II revealed more clearly that
at any time during the present sit
uation the line-up Of the contestants
I'm the coming congressional COM
paign.
Although the statement Of Colonel
Roosevelts stand in relation to the
present administration did not take
the form OF a quoted remark, Il was
nevertheless authoritative. That IL
was not unexpected at Beverly was
shown by Vice-President Shermans
remark there yesterday that the turn
ing down of Colonel Roosevelt. by
the New York State Committee could
be construed as a victory for the ad-
ministration This coming from sec
ond official in the party is regarded
by Colonel as tentamount TO a de-
claration of hostilities against him
by present administration. He fig
ures, therefore, that the responsible
ity for the rupture must be located al
Beverly rather than at Oyster Bay.
Forcing the Hand.
In this fact and IN this forcing of
the hands of the administration fol-
lowers, friends Of Roosevelt see an
explanation for what appeared at the
time to be a bit of very poor po-
litical strategy, namely: the presen-
tatiOn of his name for temporary
chairman TO the New York State Com
! mittee I'm the face of a certain turn
down. The manoeuvre served to show
that the State machine politicians
have elected to cast their fortunes
with the administration forces rather
than with the progressiyes--(or in
other words, the. Insur gents) with
whom Colonel Roosevelt has now al
lied himself
From. the fact that Clifford Pinchot
and Victor MuTdock are both known to
have been consulted by Colonel Roose-
welt on the text Of the latters Osso-
watomie speech of August 81 there
seems 70 be q considerable ground for
the prediction that this occasion will
be the one ON which ~ r. will make
his first public profession of faith as
an out and ont insurgent.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-Staff CORES
pondents of the World. Sun and Her
aid. unitedly in their dispatches from
Oyster Bay declare that an open
rupture exists between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
The Herald story says
Theodore Roosevelt will not en-
dorse the Taft administration. The
final break between the President and
his predecessor came with the selec-
tiOn by the Republican state COM
mittee Of Vice President James 5.
Sherman as temporary chairman Of
the Saratoga convention. These as
surances come tonight from an abb
solutely authentic source. There will
be no peace truce between Sycamore
Hill and Beverly.
Said TO he n Deal.
Those close to Mr.. Roosevelt make
the startling charge that a political
deal was entered into between MT.
Woodruff. William Ward, Republican
national committeeman and Vice
President Sherman on one hand. and
the close political advisors of Presi-
dent Taft on the other, whereby Mr..
Woodruff was to be reelected state
chairman, and Mr.. Sherman tempor-
airy chairman of the state convention.
Mr.. Woodruff has pledged to President
Taft, the New York delegation to the
national convention in 1912 In return
for the Presidents support.
"The erstwhile President will have
no word of criticism for the man
whom he chose as his successor in the
White House. II will not be a sur
prise, however, to those who are close
to Mr. Roosevelt If he finds himself
placed in such a position that he will
be forced to become an avOwed
candidate for the presidential noml-
nation in 1912"
Sun tells OF the break.
The Sun story says:
1T can be positively stated that
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt have
broken. From trustworthy sources
it can be stated tonight that the
turning down of Roosevelt is taken by
Roosevelt men to be the result o
a deal between the administration an'
members Of the New York state com
mittee, whereby they would send dele
gates to support Taft IN 1912 in re
turn for the ADMINISTRATOR backin

Between President Taft and Col

Taft, there is a complete break tina
appears so wide that no bridge car
be thrown across Il.
with his eyes open Colonel Roose
welt is said by his friends to have LEI
Griscom lead him to the slaughter
| It is understood that he knew at the
time that some of the New York
state leaders had promised Presi,
dent Taft that If he would stand
by them in the state fight this
1 fall they would stand by him wher
it came to a question Of delegates fol
the national convention in 1912. This
argument is said to have so appealed
to the President that he expressed ap
