probable that varying degrees of
value will be placed upon it by the
Ohio republicans and others. At any
rate, 1t Is said on good authority that
when the Cleveland journalist broach

have become a bit angry, but de-
clared that there would be a pro-

jurist were to come out. and openly
vow allegiance to him rather than to
the presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt insisted that the
same course would be followed in
Ohio as had been planned for Illinois.
when Governor Deneen refused to
cave the republican party. and become
the Roosevelt candidate.
When this fact became known to
Judge Dillon, as 1t soon did, he reach
ed his conclusion to eliminate himself
from the contest, and to send notice
Of his withdrawal to the state COM
mittee. This is the reason why the
nominee did not wait until after the
Roosevelt convention in Chicago,

He decided. therefore, not to delay

what they shall do, He relies on the
Judgment and wisdom of the men,
bers of the state committee to do the
best they can in this emergency. "
Is not thought probable that the state
committee will select a candidate to
FIJI the vacancy at its meeting on
Wednesday, but that 1t will defer the
matter until there is some crystalli-

tunity is afforded to give careful con-
sideration to all the elements which
enter into the troublous situation.
The president has invited large
number Of prominent Ohio republi-

the formal notification on Thursday,
and should the state committee defer
its action. the matter Of selectir~ a
candidate will be talked over while

Daugherty Refuses Nomination.
Mr.. Daugherty said last night that
under no circumstances would he ac-
cept the nomination for governor. He
said that he did not believe Dillon's

complicate matters to any considera-

men who will make strong candidates,
whose names have only been tenta-
