BULL MOOSERS PLAN ID FO|L DEMOCRATS

Philadelphia, July 13.-After an all- day conference here today between for mer State Senator William Finn of Pittsburg and supporters of Theodore Roosevelt from eastern counties of Pennsylvania to consider plans for the organization Of the third party in this state. announcement was made that the concensus of opinion favored the plac- Ing of the same set of presidential elec- tors on both the republican and third party tickets. According to this plan the electors are to bind them selves to vote in the electoral college for the candidate on the ticket on which the elector received the highest number of votes.
 It is said that if the tentative plan is finally adopted 1t would amount to fusion in this state of the Taft vote on the republican ticket and of the vote of the presidential candidate on the third party ticket; that Is, the com bined vote of the elector on the two tickets would count against the vote received by a democratic elector. In making the announcement. Mr. Film said
 This would render 1t impossible for the democratic party to obtain the electoral vote of Pennsylvania It should be understood however, that this opinion Is not based upon any defi- nite conclusions as yet"
 The electors on the republican ticket were selected al the regular republican state convention held at Harrisburg on May l. That convention was controlled by MT Finn and his friends.
