Although the real news of the sit
uation was developing nearly a mile
away at the hotels, the crowd around
and in the Coliseum was in an in
tense condition of mind.

When the convention took its re-

rent about the Coliseum that Colonel
Roosevelt would come to the conven-
tiCn at 4 o'clock and make or try to
make speech. However, nobody
really knew whether it was true or
not.
Hundreds of people sat down in
the hall to wait until O'Clock.
The only welcoming applause this
morning was for William jennings
Bryan, who is reporting the conven-
tion for a number of newspapers. AS
Mr.. Bryan moved to his seat in the
press section of the platform, several
persons in the gallery cried: Speech,

Mr.. Bryan saluted.
After the convention adjourned

When the Roosevelt. conference
broke up, a group of excited and ir-
ritable leaders broke from the door
way of the colonel's suite.
Finn of Pennsylvania was the
first to come out and he dashed down
the back stairway
There is nothing to say. Nothing

Senator Clapp waved all enquirers
away with an impatient exclamation.
The first report to the effect that
Colonel Roosevelt had released his
delegates from all obligation to sup
port him was founded on an inter
view given out by former Governor
Post of Porto Rico, close friend of
Roosevelt's, who, after a conference
with Roosevelt, made an announce
ment to the effect that the delegates
had been released.
Later the report was denied by
Colonel Roosevelt through o. X. Da-
Wis, who said:

released the delegates is absolutely
untrue"
However, a number of the Roose-
welt leaders accepted the Post state
ment as correct.
Later came the statements of Gov
ernor Hadley and Senator PoindeXter
as detailed above, and then followed
the statements from Roosevelt and
Dixon.

Chicago, June 20, 5 p.m,-The
Roosevelt delegates, after holding
two hours session this afternoon and
after listening to Colonel Roosevelt's
outline of his position in the present
fight, adopted resolution providing
that they should participate in the
regular convention until it became
apparent that they could no longer
take part in the proceedings.
The caucus of Roosevelt leaders
also determined that, between ses-

should be held to determine upon the

Chicago, June 20.-Confiicting re-
ports having come from the Roose-
Velt headquarters that Roosevelt had
released his delegates from all obli-
cations to him, the colonel issued a
statement at 1850 am. which was
Variously interpreted.
This statement was as follows:
The time has come when | must
make certain statements, not only to
the honestly elected members of the
republican national convention but
to the rank and file of the republican
party and the honest people of the
entire nation. | went into this fight
for certain great principles. At this
moment can only serve these prin-
ciples by continuing to meet the per-
sonal responsibility which their ad-
Vocacy has brought out
Further conferences of the Roose-
Welt forces were scheduled for pm.
That the American people and the
republican voters of the country al
ready had nominated Roosevelt for
the presidency, and that Roosevelt
and his followers would not recog-
niZe the national republican conven-
tion as regular, unless the Hadley
motion to oust the ~ contested dele
gates was adopted, was the declara-
tion of Roosevelt and Campaign Man
ager Dixon at / pm.
After being in conference with
Colonel Roosevelt for so minutes,
Governor Hadley, the Roosevelt floor
leader, said shortly after II o'clock:
81 will continue in the fight on
the same lines that | have been fol-
lowing in the convention"
When asked about the report of
disagreement between himself and
Roosevelt, he denied that there was
any foundation for it,
Senator Miles PoindeXter of Wash
ington said, as he left the conference
room:
Nothing has been determined.
The convention will recess until 8
o'clock, and the representatives of
the Roosevelt delegations will hold a
meeting at pm to decide on all
questions as to what course shall be
taken from now on
Was any compromise candidate
mentioned in the conference?" he
was asked

Were any plans for averting a
bolt taken up?"

a new movement in politics. We will
not be faction of the republican
party; we will be new party-a

clared the senator.
"Does Colonel Roosevelt's release
of his delegates mean that they will
go to any other candidate?" he was
asked.

that $40 hadn't, and when | told him Of

again
Not to have allowed Bryan to speak
at Baltimore would have been cruelty

Could there really be a genuine, sure

oratorical fireworks? Would It be con-

and we heard the Eagles Scream.
Without Bryans protest, the pro-
ceedings would have lacked accent.
The great commoner gave color to
the occasion. He added the necessary
tahasco, and the visitors will go back
home satisfied.
Bryan does not like Parker and it
was joy to hear him say so. and at
