convention campaign. was an ardent
Roosevelt man. To-day he declared
that he was willing to act with the Ma
tlonal Committee.

seat with the committee. Before he en-
tered the room he said no plan of action
had been decided on by the Roosevelt
members of tive National Commit tee,
and that he would sit with the commit,
tee and see what was done.
The meeting was brief and adjourned
after the appointment OF the committe 81
OF nine to confer with President Taft
| and ascertain his wishes regarding the
naming OF a chairman and the conduct
OF the campaign. 1t Is expected that tn,
