 TO CONSIDER

For Bolt to Another Hall, 2nC
 Third, to Fight For Temporary
 Chairman
 Chicago. June 14.-Roosevelts or ganixation without Roosevelt is not an organization. To be complete and succeed k must have the Colonel at the wheel Too many plans are spoil ing the prospect and T. R. himself muot decide which one of the lot will suit the occ4sion and see that au of his followers get on the one line of attack.
 That io the way both sides here, to- day, interpreted the Oyster Bay state ment that the Colonel left home, to- day. prepared to come directly here. With an apparent majority of the delegates In his favor and with some of the most experienced politicians in the country directing the struggle, the Roosevelt campaign has not de- vel0pe0 tho steadiness or strength for which its friends hoped.
 Tho confidence of the Taft men has troubled Senator Dixon and his lieutenants. each of whom has had a plan different from any other. As a result the cohesive force that marke4 the running of the machine whe1 Rooeevelts own hand was on the throttle was missing. As his own manages, Roosevelt won his delegate nght0 and unless he personally as- sumee command here, both sides de- clafod. today, he cannot expect tho nomfnAtion- Many of the Roosevelt mAnagor1 want to win the fight in such . way that they can claim regu- larity before the voters and they were inslgtont. today, that the Colonel as sumo tho active management and the responsibility.
 Three different plans have been preeentAd to Roosevelt. On his de- be put into effect
 Tho drst Is the suggestion of . fight from the drop of the gavel. 1t is proPeDod that the mom4nt Victor RoDeWoe1fs as chairman of the Re- publica4 astional committee calls the convention to order the Roosevelt me1 ahall demand recognition. Rose water would be prevented in any wny pontblo from having the roll of the de1eGAtoo as compiled by the national committee read as the temporary roll of the convention. A Roosevelt man ade and a the Roosevelt delegates would endeavor to go right ahead ana oeY1n11e a convention within the couooum rog1rdleag of what the Taft forco0 may do. That the Taft lead- eD rathsr expect that this will bs nnan6od and secured from the mayor, m extra detail of 25O city police who VII gct under the orders of Colonel Bm 0tqAe, sergeant-at-arms of the national committee.
 Tho second plan constitutes fgnor- ing tho Taft men entirely. This pro- pooA1 involves the staying away from the eo1iDoum. OreAnl1ingS . conventfon in tho near6y armory, going through the reE1lar prCce0ure of . conven- ton. a6cptine platform and norni- Roo1svelt and with either Governora. Johnoon, of California, Hadley of MlDouxt or Ba6g of Now Hampshire, aS h1o running mate.
 The t11rd plan is to go into the conventfons accept the roll of the by the national committee and then tieht the roll battle on regular lines. The plan Involves the substitution of tho name of Senator Borah, of Idaho, for 0o0At0r Root as temporary chair man. Bprah has been selected by the Roooovelt men, If ithfD latter plan goes through, because of his wonder ful platform magnetism, his fighting ability and a belief that with him as a candidate many of the uninstruct- ed delo9atag now claimed by Taft but who are more interested in party suc- cen at the polls next November than in any particular candidate would vote againGt Root.
 For . week. the Roosevelt leaders have 0tocu6eed these plane with out getting majority for any one. Now action win be deferred until Roose- volt h1Msoe1f decides.
 The TAft men continued to insist, today that, no matter what action Roosevelt may take, he cannot win. Whflo p0olttvely insi6fing that there can be no dark horse." the Taft men wore claiming, today, that if the President should surrender his can didAcy in the interests of party har- mony. some other candidate than Roo1evelt would be the nominee.
 Tho margin between the leading candidates is so close that it is ex- pected half q dozen might give the balance of power to the Cummins and LAEoalette handful of delegates. If this r TO- there will be lengthy deadlock on temporary organization and the convention will be compli- cated. right from the outset. But William Barnes. IT,, the New York boa who is managing the Root cam pa1en. insisted positively. today, that he had enough votes to put Root 0ver." If he and the Roosevelt forces enter the campaign the deadlock will come on the nomination. And Barnes at present fighting tooth and nail for the Preoident because the issue has been made a direct one between him and Colonel Roosevelt is hopeful that something may turn up that would obv.Ate the necessity of the Taft fenomtnation. He is pinning his faith to Root and to Roots speech as tefnp0fnfy chairman.
 yu0elce of the Supreme Court Hugheg. the second, choice of many of the delegates both in the Taft and Roosevelt camps Is considered out of it. today. His constant denials that he would be a candidate have been followed by the leading party men who tell those who desire to start a Hughes boom that they have the pooltive assurances of the justice that he i0 on the bench to stay and that if nominated he would be compelled to decline.
 Today. it began to develop that many leaders in both camps, who have party success in mind and who will have to shoulder the responsi- bility of electfng their state, con- gre01onal. county and district tickets, next fall. are really hoping for a deadlock that will put both Taft and Roosevelt out of the running here. A3eorge L. Record, the Roosevelt leader in New Jersey, today, describ- cd the present situation as a "gigan- tic poker game" where each side was vAuxt$ay1v all of ffa chine into fI.a ,,,;a
