Chicago, June 21.--f Colonel
Roosevelt eventually heads an inde-
pendent ticket it seems certain toHiSh,
that the convention which will name
him will be held at a time consider
ably after the adjournment of the ma
tional convention now in session In
this City.
After several decisive votes today
the plan for the continuation cf the
present convention after its adjourn
,ntnt was abandoned.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is placed in nom
ination before the convention now IN
session it will not be of his planning
or with his sanction, but the individ-
ual action of some one of his enthus-
lasts. These points were made clear
tonight by Colonel Roosevelt himself,
and confirmed by some of his closest
advisers.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's more
radical supporters cling to the beliet
that it would be wise to carry out
their original plan, which was stout
" to maintain that the republican
convention is irregular and after It's
adjournment to proceed with an or
ganizat tion in the same hall and name
their ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt at its
head.
Colonel Roosevelt today, however
refused to sanction this plan. He dld
not forbid it. He still maintains that
he, is bound to obey the wishes OF his
supporters and that he is willing, as
he expressed it yesterday, personally
to bear the responsibility.
He let IT be known that he did not
regard sucsa an idea as entirely prac-
ticable Should the nomination be OF
fered to him under such circumstances
it is not his intention to decline, but
he believes the wiser course would be
TO defer action few weeks
His idea, as explained today is that
his supporters return to their MONIES
and learn the sentiment in their COM
munties. A month or six weeks later
should conditions warrant, his leaders
from the different parts of the country
viii assemble to determine whether
there exists sufficiently widespread
sentiment to justify the creation of
new party. If the decision is In the
affirmative, a national convention viii
be held.
Colonel Roosevelt said tonight he

ped out regardless of what the Roose-
Welt delegates in the convention de-
eide upon. He has taken position

are not seated he cannot be influenced

tion. II the bulk of his delegates

mapped out. he expects to preserve
the present organization of his forces.
If only handful should decide at
tho final count. to stand with hia,
his decision will not be influenced.
Colonel Roosevelt's only statement
today in regard to his position was
that he had definitely stated his in
tentions and that there could be no
change in them. He would not so
further into the details Of his proba ois
course of action, saying the situation
was sc unsettled that neither NJ nor
any other man could foresee me
events of the next few days.
u is his confident belief that a de-
c.ded protest in every section of the
country will be made when the teis
in connection with the unseating ot
his delegates become known and mat
this protest will foment until 1t ce-
vclops into a formidable movement

he said. he would carry the fight into
the south with as much vigor as INTO
the north. with the idea of attracting
to his standard all who believe as ne
does.
Colonel Roosevelt says he needs no
sympathy and no matter what IN
outcome may be. the fight. he says
has been one worth making.
There is a division OF opinion among
the Roosevelt leaders as TO what part
Of his following will stand by him TO
