While Naval Oflicer F. j. H. Kracke
Joined la the hearty welcome given to
Timothy l.. Woodruff on his recent return
to Brooklyn with a promise to help
out the Republican organization in every
way in his power. Mr.. Kracke is not lined

planning for the reinstatement OF Mr..
Woodruff as county leader.

Of leading Republicans at the Temple

of the table and was virtually recognized
as the county leader. Mr.. Kracke lost
no time in making call on Mr. Wood
rI6 in the Hotel Bossert and a long dis
c,ission OF the situation followed.
Kracke said Yesterday that he had a
plain talk with Woodruff, telling him
that he and the other district leaders
gladly welcomed him back to Brooklyn,
but that any attempt upon his part to
usurp the powers and duties of the Or
ganizstion would be resented. In case
Of such an attempt. Mr.. Woodruff was
told. he Kracke) and Msrcus B. Campbell

Mr.. Kracke told MIR. Woodruff that the
present management Of the party elected
a ticket last fall after Mr.. Woodruff had
relinauished the leadership and that the
conduo. of the organization has since
been in the hands OF the men who led the
party in that campaign Mr.. Woodruff
told Mr.. Kracke that he had no intention
to humiliate Mr.. Campbell or anybody
else. All he wanted. he said. was TO do
all he could toward winning another party
victory this year.
While at the close Of the conference
there was the best OF feeling on each side.
there is general belief among the prom

betwee the friends Of kracke and those
of Woodruff ia brewing and that the
showdown may come at the March pri-

ROOSEVELT MEN NOW
ARE LOYAL TO TAFT
Secretaries Meyer and Stimson,
Friends of the Colonel, Firm
for President.
SENATOR LODGE HEDGING
Some Of the Progressives Suggest Ths,
Roosevelt Ought to Be Advised
Not 70 Enter the Race.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Two OF Roose-
veits warmest admirers in the Taft Cabi-
net, Secretary of the Navy Meyer and
Secretary OF War Stihson II known
to-day that they will stand firmly by
President Taft in the event of the Colonel
entering the race. These two members
Of the Taft Cabinet, who while serving
under the present Administration have
kept in close personal touch with Oyster
Bay. have contended right along that Mr..
Roosevelt would not enter the field against
President Taft and to-days acknowledge
ment is, in the opinion of Republicans
here. the last evidence that is needed to
show that the Colonel's friends have been
forced to the conclusion that his hat
really is in the ring.
There have been rumors for severa
days that Secretary Meyer would resign
from the Cabinet and join with Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts in declaring for
Roosevelt provided the Colonel indicated
that he is in the running. Some members
of the Massachusetts, delegation in Con-
gress were of the opinion even to-day
that this had been Secretary Meyer 8
dsposition until the Columbus speech
was delivered There is nothing. however.
in what the Secretary himself said to-day
to indicate that he had ever contemplated
any other act than TO remain absolutely
loyal to the Taft candidacy.
Mr. Meyer was appointed Ambassador
TO Rome by Roosevelt and later was made
Postmaster General in the Roosevelt
Cabinet besides being one OF the Colonel 8
warmest friends. The Secretary's atti-
tude in the present embarrassing situa-
ton IL that the last three yesrs OF service
under MIR. Taft will demand absolute
loyalty from him for his present chief
Secretary Meyer was not appointed to the
Cabinet at Mr.. Roosevelt's request or on
the Colonel's recommendation. Mr..
Meyer made it positive to-day that what
ever turn events may take he will re-
main in the Cabinet and do everything
possible to bring about Mr. Taft renomi-
nation.
Secretary Stimson's answer to the
question as to his attitude as between
the President and Col. Roosevelt was
that Mr.. Stimson would deliver a speech
in Chicago on March s in support OF the
Taft administration. II was added that
the Secretary will make several other
speeches on the stump In furtherance Of
the Preeident's candidacy.
The action OF Col Roosevelt in jumping
into the political ARRAY has made il ex-
tremely embarrassing for both Meyer and
Stimson and for other men who passed
down from the Roosevelt to the Taft
administration. G.A

The courage Of the insurgent Republi-
cans is oozins out now that they are face to

30 insistent in their demands that ex-
President Roosevelt get into the race
against President Taft are beginning to
realize what heavy contract they have
on their hands. They are without an
organization at time when q large

There We're many conferences to-day

atmosphere of gloom pervaded the ranks

even went so far as to suggest that Col.
Roosevelt ought TO be advised not to make
the raoe in the face oftsuch dis oura ge .
ments. even though his admirers believe
he has some encouragement in popular
support They pointed out that if he went
to battle and suffered a crushing defeat
IT would not only be humiliating to him
personally. but would be n great setback
for the progressive cause 1t was even
suggested that President Taft would be
made stronger in his race for reelection
II he shsuld have an easy victory over
Roosevelt in the national conventions; but
this suggestion was met by the statement
that Roosevelt had gone too far now to
withdraw and no one was prepared to
! say he would withdraw even IL he realized
that he was going TO certain defeat. He
was quoted as saying that he would go
into the fight regardless of consequences.

that had its real beginning in Col. Roose-
velt's order when President that sent
the. .battleship feet. to call at Australian
ports.
Col. Roosevelt expressed his pleasure
In meeting the small soldiers and added:
Il have naturally taken a peculiar in
tereet in the great Commonwealth OF tho
south seas. who're you are building up a
democracy essentially like ours. The
best Of terms must always exist between
the United States and Australia. !! know
Of nothing that have appreciated more

men themselves have been ample proof
OF their cordial reception.

posed on a park bench in Sydney after at
Il think your bay the finest in the
world. want to 60 to sleep
When the Colonel added that the sign
achieved undisturbed repose for its bearer
the Australian boys laughed and ap-
pleuded and then hled past to shake hands.
During the afternoon there were several
visitor. at the Colonel's ONCE, among
Pinchot. and his ooworker on the Roose-
welt boom. Col Roosevelt wouldn't talk
about his callers or even give their names.
1t was said for him that he would spend
the evening with his family at the j. West
Roosevelt residence in East Thirtieth
street. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel
Roosevelt will sail to- day for Panama and
the Colonel himself will leave in the morn
ing for four day trip to Boston. He has
said that his stay in Boston will be given
up to visits to old friends who have no
association to things political. He will
also attend the meeting Of the Harvard
Overseers. He will make no public
speeches. but II 10 considered very unlikely
that his visit will end without his meeting
men we'll known in New England politics.
That the Colonel will be unable. even
should he desire. to escape entirely from
his boom is rendered more certain by the
fact that his reply to the demand OF the
eight Governors for a definition Of his
position a. a candidate is to be made pub.
lie on Monday. Since the Colonel told
the ring. interest In his reply to the Gov
ernors has. IL possible. been more intense
among his political friends and foes than
ever. Mr.. Roosevelt has refused to con-
firm or deny that he used that figure OF
speech, and 1t IN not expected that his
letter will contain. even in metaphor, 30
direct an announcement Of his candidacy.
But whatever the letter to the Governors
contains it will at least be the first pub
lie word from Mr. Roosevelt himself con-
cerning his boom. and II is remembered
he has said that when he had an an
'nouncement to make shout the 1912 race
he would do 20 publicly and over my own
signature.
Col. Roosevelt will not return to New
York until next Wednesday. and it is pos
sible that the sessions at the Outlook Office
may not reconvene until the following
