Director Mckinley Calls Trip
to Chicago the "last Big
Bluff"

CHICAGO, H.. June 15.-The calm
routine of the conduct of the Taft cam
paign was not disturbed by the advent of
Col. Roosevelt Secretary Hilles, Direc
tor Mckinley and William Barnes, jr., of
New York. who has rooms just below the
Taft headquarters. continued the recep-
ton of Taft delegates even when the
cheering of the street crowds listening to
Roosevelt sounded through the windows.
y few moments after Roosevelt had been
safely placed in the headquarters hotel
Director Mckinley issued a statement
characterizing the arrival Of Roosevelt
as 1.-The last big bluff of the Roosevelt
forces In this fight"
The weakness of the Roosevelt can
didacy," the statement says was en-
phasized by the arrival in Chicago of
Theodore Roosevelt himself. and by the
historical attempts OF his managers to
make a showing In his behalf by making
claims which had no basis in fact
Among the various reports put out
by the Roosevelt political managers to-
day were those of alleged accessions to
their ranks from among the Taft forces
in the south and west. The fact Is that
the Taft lines are SO strongly lntrencneu
that not a single gain was made by Col
Roosevelt. On the contrary. word reach
ed Taft headquarters. as a result of tao
tics of Col Roosevelt'S managers, that
for every southern delegate lost to Presi-
dent Taft. two will be gained from the
Roosevelt ranks in the north and west.

Jared that he would not attend the ses-
ions of the convention unless certain
charges against him were withdrawn.
IF there is any regularly accredited

against the casting of the Ohio delega
tons vote as a unit.
The recent Democratic state conven-
ton in Ohio which elected the six dele
gates at large instructed the whole
delegation to vote for Gov. Harmon as
unit. Mr.. CARRIER told several national
committeeman here that the congress
sional delegates were made under a new
state primary law and declared in con-
sequence that the state convention had
no authority to bind them by unit rule
Mr.. CARRIER said the state convention
only had the right to bind the dele
gates at large which 1t had chosen.
Il cannot say now" said Committeeman
CARRIER, whether the fight against the
application of the unit rule in the case
of Ohio will be made first on the conven-
