 was learned that the conferees brought up the subject of the tenn porary chairmanship and took up the matter where it was left at a prev ious conference several days ago. At that meeting, and notwithstanding re ports of dissatisfaction over Senator Borahs attitude in some of the con- tests, 1t was the opinion Of nearly all the leaders that the Idaho sen ator would be the logical man to op- pose Senator Root
 Clifford Pinchot, who left the cou- ference before it's conclusion, said the whole situation was being discussed and the plan of campaign being ar ranged
 Are they discussing the plans for opposing Senator Root for temporary chairman?n he was asked
 Everything is being talked over but l am sorry cant tell you what has been decided The only reason cant do so is that the final plans nave not been reached"
 Frank A. Munsey, who left the con- ference room for few moments said:
 So far, nothing has been done that can be announced"
 Among the late arrivals at the con ference were Francis ]. Heney and John C. Capers.
 Colonel Roosevelt himself was ure ed by Alexander P. Moore of Pitts burg to enter the race for temporary chairman, but he declined
 Senator Borah seemed to be the favorite of the Roosevelt leaders, bat his eligibility was brought into ques- tion. He is not a delegate and t is possible that he cannot obtain a seat on the floor on that account Ii this obstacle cannot be surmounted it is likely that Governor Hadley of Missouri, will be the Roosevelt can didate to oppose Senator Root, of New York
 It developed that the colonel has completed 8 rough draft of 9 plaf- form. It is said that it does not con- tain blanks for the recall of either judicial decisions or judges.

Afterward all agreed that no definite plans had been formalized in this respect
 Colonel Roosevelt retired while his assistants continued to canvass the situation in his reception room.

 Some of the piercing quality of the famous rebel yell' characterized the snappv cheers which interrupted Roosevelt's speech from the hote balcony shortly after his arrival. IT the midst of that crowd, the note oi truculent defiance stood forth on Cal ifornia's banner
 "California refuses to try title tc property before the thief who stole it." and MT Roosevelt caught up tht note and made it the key of his speech.
 The feeling that matters had come to some kind of a crisis permeated both factions.
 Rumors of hot headed plans were given somewhat serious attention " the officers in charge of the conven tion arrangements Some of these rumors, untraceable to their sources went so far as to suggest the pos sbility that the antiTa people might attempt to take possession oi the convention hall Monday night; that there might be efforts to prevent the convention from effecting Serma' nent organization at all.
