ing TO the plan OF the Roosevelt men
for the rest OF the convention.
This plan was to occupy their seats
right through, but TO take no part In
the convention until such time as II
might adjourn. Then, II 1t had not
thrown out the delegates Roosevelt con-
tested, the Roosevelt men would hold an
other convention, which they would call
the regular Republican convention, rails
ing the claim that there had been no
regular adjournment. They might then
nominate Colonel Roosevelt. and he
would have a claim to call himself the
regular Republican nominee.
Colonel Roosevelt has not definitely
committed himself TO the latter part of
this plan. He is considering the ad-
visibility Of delaying action for several
weeks. and then to summon an entirely
new convention This would not be held
until after the Democrats have acted In
Baltimore.
