Convention. not the Credentials Com
mittee, should be the court OF last re-
sort"
Before adjourning the committee
adopted the amendment rules by a
vote OF :6 TO 4. Chairman Devine
said the adjournment was taken be-
cause most of the contesting dele
gates had left the Coliseum.
Mr.. Roosevelt addressed the bolt
ing delegates in a room at the Con-
gress Hotel, where they had assem-
bled after leaving the committee
room.
Il am going to ask you to take
recess until | can get certain facts
and lay them before you" Colonel
Roosevelt said. Il earnestly counsel
you not TO discuss what you intend to
do until you have the facts before
you.
4 can tell you the general outline
of what | shall do. So far as | am
concerned, l shall never recognize in
Republican Convention a majority
of which large part is composed of
fraudulently seated delegates from
the States of which Governor Hadley
spoke today. This is not a Conven-
tion of the Republican party. A Con-
vention of the Republican party is a
Convention the majority of which is
elected by the people and not ap-
pointed by a morbid National Com
mittee.
Il am for a Convention in which
sit the men elected by the States of
Washington and Arizona and not the
men appointed from Washington and
Arizona by the defunct boses of other
States. hold that this is no case of
factional fight. The time has come
now when we must assert absolutely
the right of the people to run the Ma
tional Convention, to have their own
representatives put into the Conven-
ton. I see that it was held today
that of these contested delegates all
were to vote on one another's cases
on the ground of precedent The ar
gument in favor of that precedent is
of the type of the argument made by
a clever corporation lawyer when ad-
yising a corporation how to keep
within law and yet do what the law
intended to forbid. This kind of bad
faith vitiates my proposition. Fraud
destroys any contract"

be sufficient to give him the nomina-

the committee for favoring near all
the Taft contestants and termed the
committees actions as a steal.

Roosevelt Members Claim Credentials
Committee Wouldn't Give a Full
Hearing on Contests.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 19.-After bolt
ing once from the Credentials Com
mittee under the orders of Colonel
Roosevelt" and being called back by
Roosevelt managers to the commit
tee room, all of the Roosevelt mem
bers of the Credentials Committee
except r. r. Mccormick, of Chicago,
left again at HAS o'clock tonight,
declaring they were 'tout for good"
The cause of the bolt was the re-
fusal of the committee to give a full
hearing on all contest cases.
After the Roosevelt men had left
the committee took up the cases, but
had not proceeded far when a mo-
tion to adjourn until o'clock tomor-
row morning was proposed and car
ried.
Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt cam
paign manager, who had been hur-
riedly summoned after the first bal
lot, left with the Roosevelt men.

Can Call it Anything.
Francis J. Heney and Hugh T. Hal
bert, of Minnesota, who had led the
bolt, were the only ones who would
talk at length on the situation.
''Is this bolt?" Mr.. Heney was
asked.
You ca call it anything you want
to-" he said. These are the facts:
Every Roosevelt man, with the
exception of Mccormick, has walked
out because he was convinced from
the rules which were proposed that
there was no intention of giving a
valid hearing.
THE cases that were heard before
the National Committee were a farce
and this is a worse one. The lineup
was perfectly plain-32 to 49,"

Are Not Getting Fair Hearing.
Chicago, Ill, June 19.-The Roose-
velt forces met their second defeat in
the Republican National Convention
today in a session which had for its
outstanding feature remarkable de-
monstration of nearly one hours du-
ration in honor Of Governor Herbert
S. Hadley, of Missouri.
All of the Roosevelt delegates join
ed in this demonstration, while some
Taft States lent a voice. The ova-
ton to the Missouri executive was
quickly interpreted by way of the
delegates as the possible forerunner
of a boom for Hadley for President.
One enthusiastic Pennsylvania man
jumped to the stage and called:
Three cheers for Hadley, the next
President of the United States"
Governor Hadley led the fight on
the Convention floor today to oust
ninety-two contested Taft delegates
and to seat ninety-two Roosevelt men
in their places. The Convention
finally refused to entertain the mo-
ton.
This transferred the fight to the
Committee on Credentials, appointed
Just before the Convention adjourn
ed until tomorrow noon.
A Split i'm the Committee and Some
Members Withdraw.
Chicago, Ills, June 19.-The long
expected crash in the Republican
ranks came tonight. The Roosevelt
forces acting, they said, under the
personal direction of the Colonel
himself, began to lay their plans for
independent action in the National
Republican Convention as a forerun-
ner Of the more drastic action ex-
pected in the Convention tomorrow
or Friday. The Roosevelt members
of the Committee on Credentials
withdrew from that body tonight
withdrew in person and in effect,
withdrew all of the Roosevelt con-
tests, which had been called down
from go to 2S.
Colonel Roosevelt tonight was in
the midst of a series of exciting con-
ferences and was busy figuring on the
loyal delegates whom he could ex-
pect to carry with him out OF the
Convention or rather into separate
Convention on the Convention floor
in event the crisis is reached.

headquarters were exciting. Senator
Borah, of Idaho, it was reported, de-
clared as he left the Roosevelt rooms
that he would not bolt.
The Missouri delegation in the Con-
vention held a caucus tonight for the
purpose, it. was reported, Of formally
launching a boom for Governor Had
lew for President. The remarkable
demonstration given the Missouri ex-
ecutive in the Convention today, to-
gether with the sudden turn in af-
fairs, is said to have strengthened

Colonel Roosevelt Goes to Chicago to
Counsel With His Forces.


Chicago dispatch OF June 18th
says:
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt wear
ing his new fighting hat. a compro-
mise between the sombrero and
rough riders headgear. came into
Chicago late to-day and was acclaim
ed by thousands OF his supporters
and admirers. The hat was In the
air throughout the automobile ride
from Lasalle Street station 10 the
Congress Hotel waving salutes of
acknowledgment OF the cheers that
marked the former Presidents prog
ress.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared tonight
that he had not mapped out a plan
of campaign. He was in consulta-
tion for several hours with the man
ager of his candidacy and then as
sumed charge in persion of this
naked fight between corrupt poll
ticians and thieves and the plain
people"
Early in the day it was announced
at the Roosevelt headquarters that
the Colonels arrival would be abso-
lutely devoid OF the spectacular.
Many of the delegates. however,
would not have Ii thus and when the
train bearing the candidate finally
rolled into the station there were
three bands and cheering multitude
to greet him
The California delegation. the most
aggressive and outspoken of the Roo
sevelt adherents-a delegation which
to-day issued a thinly yelled threat
of Independent action IL things did
not go well for the Colonel In the
Convention-marche to the station
in body and escorted Colonel Roo
sevelt to his hotel. They bore aloft
banner which read:
California refuses to try title to
property before the thief who stole
It,"
And on the reverse side:
'California's solid twenty-six for
Theodore Roosevelt"
Beams With Pleasure.
The banner caught the Colonel's
eye at once and he beamed with
pleasure. Later as he stood on the
balcony Of his hotel and made brief
address to a throng which blocked
all traffic in Michigan Boulevard for
half an hour he alluded to the sign
and made the so-called ''thefts" Of
the Republican National Committee
the topic of his remarks.
Colonel Roosevelt appeared to be
in fine fettle and thoroughly TO enjoy
being on the battle-ground in person.
1t was frankly acknowledged that
long distance telephoning and tele-
graphing had tried the candidates
patience.
His reception here was all that
could have been desired. The band
which led the way kept up q con-
tinuous crash of music while the two
in the rear were equally busy. The
tune most in favor was the battle
song of San Juan Hill and Santiago.
''ThereTl Be a Hot Time In the
Old Town Tonight" When the
vast lHIOue al AIoAA Va his AotSi Was
clamoring for the Colonel to appear
and make an address the bands play
ed Hail. Hail. the Gangs All Here.

mobbed when he reached the hotel.
