Roosevelt RenounceS Claim
to Massachusetts.
HIS DELEGATES AHEAD

dates In the State at Large, but the
President Was Endorsed by Piu.
raIity Of Several Thousand.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 2.-Colonel
Roosevelt has renounced his claim to
the eight delegates at large to the Re-
publican national convention elected
for him in Massachusetts. He tele-
graphed that he would expect them to
vote for President Taft, taking this
action, he said, because of the fact
that President Taft carried the state
on the presidential preferential vote.
Boston, May Massachusetts
emerged from her first presidential
preferential primary election to find
that the Republican voters had ex-
pressed a preference for the renomi.
nation of President Taft but, notwith-
standing, had given Colonel Roosevelt
eighteen of the thirty-six delegates to
the national convention.
The Democratic voters Of the state
expressed a preference for Speaker
Champ Clark, although majority of
the delegates to Baltimore will 60
pledged to Governor Foss.
Returns from LOTT out of 1,0S0 elec-
tion precincts give: Republicans (pres-
idential preference): La Toilette, L.
756; Roosevelt, 71,2O3; Taft, 74,SOS.
Taft's lead is 3,605.
Delegates at large: Baxter (heading
Roosevelt group, 74,121; Crane (head-
ing Taft group), 65,876. Baxter's lead
is 8,245.
Democratic presidential prefer.
ence): Clark, 19,903; Wilson, 9,2O6;
delegates at large, Coughlin (pledged
to Foss), 17,050.
TangIe Due to New Law.
Just how Massachusetts, could send
an evenly divided delegation to Chica-
go, while on the preference vote Taft
has a plurality of $500 over Roose-
velt, Is partly explained by the word
ing Of the state presidential preferen-
tial primary law enacted two months
ago.
BY that law every voter to have his
vote recorded was compelled to mark
each delegate at large of his party,
there being no circle for voting by
groups. The law enabled hundreds of
voters to mark the eight names in the
delegation headed by G. s. Baxter and
styled "for Theodore Roosevelt" and
then express preference for Taft on
another part of the ballot.
On the Democratic ticket, although
ten of the fifteen candidates for dele
gates at large to Baltimore were eithe~
pledged or indicated to be "for" Gov
ernor Foss, there was no Foss name
in the presidential preference column.
Speaker Clark, whose name did not ap-
pear in the preference and who de-
fsated Governor Wilson by a vote of
2 to 1, did not have a single pledged
delegate on the list. Many Of the
Democratic district delegates were
also elected pledged to Foss.
Another incident which some OBJ
servers say many have had a bearing
on the selection of a Roosevelt dele
cation at large with Taft preferen-
tial was the sandwiching in of the
name of former State Senator Frank
Seibertich pledged for Taft" be-
tween the Roosevelt and Taft groups.

TOCONS|DER TREATY
FOR SEAL PROTECTION
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee to Give Question Hear
ing Tomorrow.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning there
will be hearing before the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs on the bill intro
duced by Representative Sulzer of New
York, the committee chairman, intended
to carry out the provisions of the treaty
negotiated last summer between the
United States, Great Britain, Japan and
Russia, to preserve the fur seal herds
of the north Pacific and Arctic oceans.
Prof. Henry Elliott Of Cleveland, Ohio:
Prof. Hornaday of New York, and other
experts will appear to give the committee
the benefit Of their advice.
Chairman Sulzer said today that mas
much as the United States was the first
nation to undertake the legislation neces-
sary to carry into effect the treaty proVi-
sions he believed Congress should pass
rigid law on the subject that would serve
as a model for Great Britain. Russia ana
Japan. The United States. owning as 1t
does the Pribilof Islands, which was once
the abiding place Of seal herd or several
millions Of animals and which, through the
operations Of pelagic sealers, has been re-
duced until less than 10000 seal return to
the rookeries annually, probably has more
to gain than any other country through
the strict observance Of the terms of the
treaty. Consequently, Mr.. SulZer THINKS 1t
essential that the legislation enacted by
this Congress should be comprehensive
and stringent and provide heavy penalties
Of fine and Imprisonment for violations.
After the seal question has been put out
of the way the foreign affairs committee
will consider legislation affecting Niagara
Falls which is necessary to place the
present temporary arrangement between
Canada and the United States on a per-
manent basis, and then will Hold hear
ing or two on the resolution introduced
by Representative Rainey Of illinois, pro-
posing an investigation of all matters in
connection with the Panama canal from
the time Of the requirement Of the canal
strip by the United States up to the pres
ent time.
