tonight at his headquarters with Will

\. Munsey, Coy. GlaSscock, Gov. Had
ley, Gov. Johnson and several other
Governors Matthew Hale Of Boston and
other Massachusetts Roosevelt delegates
and discussed the attitude OF the eight
delegates at large from Massachusetts.
1t will he remembered that Col.
Roosevelt, while winning "A maiority OF
tho district delegates, declared there
had been an error In the ballot by
which Roosevelt delegates at largo had
been elected in the state. Therefore
he directed that these delegates at large
should vote for Taft.
The proposition at to-night's confer
encc was that the Coloncls decision
should be rescinded on the ground that
several OF these delegates at large. be-
lieNing that they had been elected for
Roosevelt, have declined to follow his
instructions that they should vote for
Taft.
