I. R. PREPARING
 TO GO TO ''CHl'
 TO. BOSS THINGS

Oyster Bay, June Colonel Roose- welt is preparing to leave for Chicago, tomorrow night or Saturday, accord ing to those in close touch with him here.
 The Colonel, today. changed his his going.
 'I have nothing to say,'' he said, today, when pressed for a statement. Heretofore he has always said: ,.I have no present intention of going"
 There were evidences of hustle and preparation at Sagamore Hill. The telephone and telegraph ewires which connect the Colonel with his head quarters at Chicago were being work ed to the limit, it was said. The Col onel, himself, was busy but in high good humor. Those who know him best here say that his spirits are ris- ing with the nearing prospect of a hand to-hand battle. It is now taken for granted here that Sunday or Monday at the latest will see him on the scene of action.

ROOT DUE IN
 CHICAGO WITH
 TAFT MESSAGE
HIS COMING AWAITED WITH FIX PECTANCY BY TAFT
 HEADERS.
The Vote For Roosevelt. In the Pri- max1ee-.Women Suffrage Plank
 Onered For Consideration.

Chicago, June 18.-Senator Root, who is the choice of the Taft men for temporary chairman, will reach this city late this afternoon. The Sen ator will bring a message from the President to the Taft leaders and his presence is expected by the Taft men to aid greatly in stiffening the lines for Taft. Root has many warm per sonal admirers in the Roosevelt column. This is especially so in Illinois. where about one-haif of the delegation favors the Senator and Is opposed to making a. fight for his selection. And it will be arranged. if poasible, that the Senator, who usual Iy secrets himself in the innermost quarter of his suite. shall be given an opportunity to mix with the crowds in the Taft headquarters and let dele gates who do not know him come under the influence of his pefsonality. Tn answer to the, claims of the .Rooseveit men that they are in the right because they are supported by the majority of the Republicans In the direct primary states, the Taft headduarters issued another state mant, today, .reciting the vote by which Roosevelt defeated Taft and by figures showing that, in nearly every instance, less than 50 per cent of the registered Republican vote was cast. Friends of the President insist that tae majority of the organization Republicans are opposed Ito the 'di- rect primaries and they declared that because of this they refused to vote even though the very existence of the party might be at stake s-i
 President Taft, his chief ieuten- ants claim, is no more the minority menace than is his chief opponent.
 Miss Margaret Donye, publicity manager for the Illinois Equal Snf- frage Association. called on Congress man Mckinley in the interest of a universal woman's suffrage plank in the platform. She declared that the women in the sufheg states would support only the, candidate who fav lorsd uHiveraaT suffrage and urged the :eon.fesstnan to get In tcueh with the RresfIfent and have htrn sarn0unce his opinion on. the matteS- She told him 't1IAt she: w96id S1i for his 2nswSs 04turd4y.r~ 7x s'r .sfssss ss :. <, ' ti.s
