The Roosevelt followers were defeated

The opinion also prevails that Senator
Dixon will have the fight OF his life to be
returned to the Senate next winter, with
prospects strong that IL the Republicans

against Dixon is Charles X. Leonard OF

receptive candidate. He is handicapped
by his Roosevelt leanings. however.
Senator Dixon sent a strong personal
telegram to the committee urging the
Presidential primaries.
Al the close Of the committee meeting
the Dixon Roosevelt members and their
friends held a conference and decided to
go before the voters Of the State with a
demand for a Presidential preference

To-day they issued a call for State

terious origin early this morning da-
stroyed the home of j. Martin Woolsey,
writer. traveller and recluse. at Willow

While men were searching the ruins for
the body of Mr.. Woolsey, who was sup

aged writer was returning from New York.
to which place he had hurriedly gone last

intentions. While the men were working
about the ruins at clock this afternoon
Woolsey walked up. He could give no
suggestion as to the probable cause of
the fire.

WARD TO QUIT THE COLONEL?

with Wcstchester Leader.

MOUNT VERNON. n. Y. March 24--It
became known to-day that Vice President
James s. Sherman spent part OF Saturday
with National Committeeman William l..
Ward at Port Chester. Few politicians

that Mr.. Ward was in the South, bat he
has been In Port Chester nearly every day
lately except when he was in New York
conferring with politicians
Mr.. Ward and Mr.. Sherman have been
intimate friends for n long time. 1t is
reported that they talked over the ma =
tional situation. Although it was stated
at Mr.. Wards house that IL was purely a
personal call on the part OF Mr.. Sherman.
yet the wisea cres assert that Mr. Sherman
may have been an emissary from Presi-
dent Taft and 1t Is now rumored that the
delegates from Westchester county headed
by Mr.. Ward will favor the denomination
OF President Taft.
At the last State convention. when Mr.
Sherman was defeated for State chairman
by Col Roosevelt. Mr. Ward and the other
Westchester delegates stood out to the
finish for the election OF Mr.. Sherman.
Mr.. Ward said tonight:
There was nothing unusual in Mr..
Sherman's visit. He has been my per-
sonal friend for many years. He came "a
Port Chester on a New Haven train and
spent the day with me. He returned to
New York late on Saturday night"
"Did you talk politics?" Mr.. Ward was
asked. He laughed and said:
1T was purely personal call. That is
al. | care to say. There il no truth in
the report that MIR. Sherman came as an
emisssary from President Taft"
