Chicago. June 16.-The Roosevelt plans
for the fight 70 be made in the Republi-
can National Convention on Tuesday
were finally adopted at a conference Of
the Roosevelt leaders tonight, under
the direction of the colonel himself.
The Roosevelt supporters have deter
mined that the convention shall not be
organized with the contested delegates
seated by the national committee, ard
10 this end they have determined 10 de
mand a rollcall on the first proposition
that comes up This undoubtedly will
come on the right Of Governor Johnson
Of California 10 cast the twenty-six
votes Of that state on the question Of
the temporary chairmanship.
This right Will he questioned by the
two Taft delegates from the 18th Dis
trict. Then will come the move which
the Roosevelt leaders have planned.
They will move at once that the tempo
rary roll as made up by the national
committee be rejected and that sub
stitute roll. prepared by the Roosevelt
leaders. be adopted. This roll will in
clude the seventy to eighty delegates
which Colonel Roosevelt claims We're
stolen from him, and which would be
sufficient to give the Roosevelt forces
control Of the convention.
Under this plan Of procedure-submit-
ting the contests to the convention en-
bloc-none Of the delegates affected by
the contests could vote. Under custom
ary rules, passing upon the contests
state by state. one contested state might
pass upon the right Of another.
The Roosevelt plan is revolutionary
one. II will be bitterly opposed by the
Taft leaders. but it will serve the pur-
nose of bringing the fight quickly to the
front. and this is what the Roosevelt
leaders desire.

tion 70 order. It is not believed that

Mayor Gaynor's boom for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination was
hacked into the political arena last night
bv an announcement from a committee,
headed by Jacob A. Cantor that they
were going to so to Baltimore to-day to
work for the Mayor.
According to Cantor the Mayor was
not consulted about the launching of the
boom. but on this point politicians were
smiling broadly last night as they re-
called that William Harmon Black, the
treasurer of the Gaynor committee has
been in almost daily and apparently ear
nest consultation with Archibald r.
Watson. the Mayors Corporation Coun-
sell II is not believed by any one that
Mr.. Watson would be going ahead with
anything that had not received the ap-
proval Of the Mayor, and Mr. Watson's
conferences with Mr.. Black have been
the subject of comment around the Wal
dorf, where they have frequently been
seen together.
At his home in ST. James. which was
called by telephone, a Tribune reporter
put the question as to what the Mayor
thought Of this latest movement to force
him into the Presidential ring
Wait a minute and I'll see him." a

same voice said: The MAYOR is not in"

be in she said: oh, he won't he home

The why" of Gaynor.

Accompanying the announcement of
its intention TO go to Baltimore to urge
the Gaynor candidacy on the delegates
there, the committee gave out a state
ment addressed to The Democracy OF

availability as a candidate is discussed.
After reciting his record as a public
servant. the printed statement adds:
Briefly summed up, these are some Of the
points concerning Mayor Gaynor's avail

As farmer his sympathy for the farmer

He is opposed to class and sumptuary
legislation
He has had ripe experience as a judge
