CHICAGO, June 14.-The Roosevelt

The Taft ambition has overleaped it.
self; the road roller has been too
coarse in its work, and the worm has
turned.
Senator Boies Penrose admits "things
don't look good for Taft" and Senator
Murray Crane is talking about Cum
Minis as a compromise candidate in
order to "save the party" When these
two engineers begin to apply brakes, II
Is because they see an open switch
ahead
1t is said by the Taft men that the
Missouri delegation was given Roose-
velt yesterday upon the merits of the
case-although their own inner circle
filed the contests. So It was, but there
was no more merit in the Missouri
fight than there was in the Ninth Ala
bama, the Indiana delegation, or the
Kentucky contests, which were steam
rolled and fiattened out without benefit
OF clergy.
1t is also said that Senator Crane
moved to adjourn after the Missouri
decision because the committee was
tired" Right again! 1t was very tired.
Also very scared.
Road Roller Blows Up.
The truth is Penrose moved to seat
the Roosevelt delegation from Missouri
and 1t was carried unanimously in so far
as the Taft committeeman were con-
cerned, because Penrose, Crane, Keal-
ing. Mckinley, and other mechanicians
of the roller had learned the pressure
upon committeeman from progressive
States had become so great and SO
viruluent that the Taft forces would
lose the fight II II were put to a roll
call.
Moreover, they learned that the same
will be true in future contests In which
the Roosevelt men have good grounds.
What Is still further embarrassing, the
action of the national committee is be-
ginning to react. Two instructed Taft
delegates from St. Louis served notice
upon the Taft headquarters prior to
the Missouri contests that II the Missouri
Roosevelt delegation-at-large was un-
seated, they would be obliged to bolt
their instructions and vote for Roose-
welt in order to be allowed to go
back home.

NEW YORK FORCES

SPLIT PREDICTED
Roosevelt Leaders Hear En-
couraging News From
the Empire State.
BY JOHN SNURE.

CHICAGO. June A-Roosevelt head
quarters late last night was advised
by long distance telephone from New
i1ork that the break had come in the
Empire State delegation, The word
came that a number of the delegates
on whom the Taft forces had relied had
balked and would not support the
president. Some were demanding a
third candidate. On the whole. the
Roosevelt leaders found the New York
news highly cheering and encouraging.
The last twenty-four hours have been
filled with encouragement for the
Roosevelt forces, stock Of the former
President going up many points in Chi
cago last night and this morning. fol-
lowing the action of the national COM
mittee in the Missouri cases. Corre-
spondingly Taft stock underwent a de-
pression. .--.... ....-. ...r.
The Taft forces went into the meet
tng Of the committee in the meeting
fully meaning to take not less than
eight of the delegates of, the fourteen
contested in Missouri. They needed
eight to command the membership of
the credentials committee and elect the
national committeeman to say nothing
of the temporary roll of the convention.
81 Roosevelt Gets State.
But in the committee their cases
went to pieces and they were glad to
escape with compromise which gave
eight Of the contested seats to Roose-
Welt and six to Taft, and left the Mis-
sour delegation divided sixteen to
twenty in Roosevelt's favor. This
means the Roosevelt men will have the
I'M an he fiolo oy,,tft Toe
and the national committeeman. How
ever. the Missouri outcome speedily
took on an importance that reached far
beyond the confines of the State Of Mis-
souri,
Evidently fearful their command Of
the committee was in danger and that
the committee could not be relied on
to handle the steam roller with nerve
and skill, the Taft leaders hurried an
adjournment. Then they set about the
business Of reforming their lines and
contests. and especially for the States
of Washington and Texas.
The Roosevelt leaders promptly
hurried to the front and proclaimed

committee refuses 10 go along, where

Dixon declared that he had assurances
at least two of the national committee
men within the last twenty-four hours
had served notice they would not hne

ming the corridors were rife with re-
ports that bunch of the New York
delegates had determined to quit Taft

Iowa, and that some of the Taft dele
gates in the South were getting ex-

cited and threatening to break out of
the reservation and lope of toward the
Roosevelt settlement. Senator Dixon
was piled with questions about New
York, but all he would say was; "The
situation is such that can't discuss It
now"
Following this late last evening and
far Into the night the Roosevelt lead
ers held conference and In this meet
ing voiced the utmost confidence that
Taft movement had passed high tide
and was on the decline; that Penrose-
Mckinley Crane forces had reached
their limit. and from this time forward
there would be a steady accession of
strength to Roosevelt
Steam Roller At Work.
On the other hand, the Taft leaders
passed the word along that no signif-
canoe should be attached to the Mis-
souri, cases and that Washington and
Texas would be duly annexed by the
Taft forces They said the steam
roller would work again today as usual,
but the Roosevelt leaders refused to
take. this view. They declared the COM
mittee was going to wreck as a piece
of enginery for Taft and that II could
no longer be utilized in the fashion II
was used early In the proceedings.
Various pow-wowsJ and conferences
were held by the Taft leaders last night
for the purpose of checking the inroads
of the Roosevelt forces. 4
The word went round that Charles
H. Taft, brother 10 the President, had
taken train and was on his way to
Chicago. MANY and various were the
explanations Of the sudden bearing
down of Brother Charles on the con-
vention city. simple and obvious
to see the big show. But this was so
plain and unadorned that nobody
seemed to consider 1t.
Last night, the Roosevelt leaders put
Idaho for. temporary chairman, and
Senator Dixon said the Roosevelt men
would fight Root as candidate for
temporary chairman to the limit. Root
might as Wep tear tear up his speech Isec unless tss
lake 'front.' said the militant Dixon.
Roosevelt leaders would not admit they
were .unwarrantedlye exuberant over the
developments of yesterday. They all
said The beginning of the end, The
bricks are falling out of the foundations
of the Taft support"
Taft Men Weakening.
Further. they said that while they
expected hard fighting yet. and while
they made due allowance Tor any
of tile Taft lines that
might o:cur, they believed 1t would
speedily develop the Iaft men on the
national committee bad lost stomach
for fighting. One reason advanced for
this was the manner in which Secre-
tary Nagel left Chicago after refusing
to sit with the committee in the Mis-
souri, cases. This made some Of the
committeeman mad clesr through. ana
they expressed opinions of Mr.. Nagel
that arc hardly symptomatic of peace,
harmony, and brotherly love.
Nagel was widely accused Of duck
ing" and his course led scmc of the
stadnchly by the Taft program to
say: I'VE object to being made the
goat any longer" The unprejudiced
opinion of Mr.. Nayel expressed about
tie lobbies was that he was a high
class. hiyh-ton ed gentleman, but that
rough-an1-ready politics was not his
forte.
