gates from State of
Washington.
tFrom a STAFF correspondent

CHICAGO, June 21.-The con, e.
zion was deadlocked yesterday over
the contested delegates and adjourned
until noon today, after a day OF
great tension. The Taft managers
were compelled to make two impor-
tam concessions in regard to the rules
for the credentials committee. They
offered to allow Roosevelt the wash
ington delegates and w from Cali
fornia, but in the view of the Roose-
welt men Taft would still have about
sixty fraudulent delegates in the con-
vention, and they demand hat the
roll be purged of all such delegates.
Consultations were continued all
day in committee rooms, with
messengers passing to and fro, n

Denounces Rules Committee.
At 2 D. m. Roosevelt gave out a
formal statement. He said he could
not serve Progressive principles by
continuing to bear the responsibility
brought upon him by them. He said
the primary results showed he a a
clear majority over Taft, while Taft's
delegates, picked by the bosses, came
chiefly from the South and the de-
tendencies. Ninety delegates given
to Taft by the national committee
were clearly ibis, said Roosevelt, n
Roots decision as temporary chair
mar a sheer denial Of justice and
fair play.
Roosevelt denounced the action of
the rules committee in providing for
a new national committee controlled
by the same set of men who are re-
sponslble for the present party con-
ditions. In conclusion he said he
declined any longer 10 be bound by
any action the committee would take
and did not regard as binding any
nominations 1t sanctioned. or as con
stituted, would make. He added that
if the honestly-elected delegates
should proceed and nominate him,
he would accept. In that case he will
fight the campaign through.
Sentiment for Colonel strong.
This statement fully defines Roose-
velt's position, and the New Jersey
delegation is in hearty accord with
II. The feeling among Progressive
delegates has been that the delay Is
favorable to Roosevelt. The Taft
delegates are getting letters and tele-
grams IF remonstrance and threats
from this State. where the e Is
that the State and local tickets will
be swamped in November IL Taft Is
nominated or If there is a split.
Chicago sentiment Ia strongly for
Roosevelt. and it seems as If every
man in Chicago is a Roosevelt rooter.
There will be q delirious scene If
Roosevelt wins, but the outlook now
favors a third candidate.
The Roosevelt and Progressive lead
ersN demand thai before any nomina-
ton can be made the convention must
be purged of fraud and IL this is not
done no Progressive will accept the
nomination. If a Taft choice is NOM
mated the Progressives say they will

ninety delegates unseated by a na-
tional COMMITTEES and nominate
Roosevelt by reclamation.
