Chicago, June 13.--Events or the
day gave the Roosevelt leaders their
first real cause for surface tubilaton
and they were not slow to take au-
Vantage of II.
While the national committee was
disposing OF the Missouri contests,
Roosevelt delegates In Chicago were
assembled in the Congress hotel lis-
tening to a speech by William Flinn,
of Pittsburgh, who urged every man
must do his full duty and not give
up the fight"
Several hundred men were In the
room cheering when news reached
the fringe of the crowd that Mis-
souri, had been won for Roosevelt In
the national committee. Francis j.
Heney brought the tidings. He first
made IL known to former Governor
Fort Of New Jersey.
Heney then started through the
crowd for the platform and was wait
ing to be recognized by Mr.. Finn,
when Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt
campaign manager arrived. Cheers
for Dixon postponed Heney's an
|nouncement and the leader of the
Roosevelt fight advanced to speak.
IF Theodore Roosevelt is not
wanted by the convention for presi-
dent of the United States next Tues
day." Senator Dixon declared, after
a few Introductory remarks, you can
back me up against wall and do
anything you want to with me-
As he spoke, the senate folded his
arms and further emphasized his
statement by leaning against the wall.
After he had been cheered until he
raised his hand for silence, Senator
Dixon said that the republican ma
ltional committee could not get enough
delegates for Taft to nominate.
Mr.. Heney then took the rostrum.
When he announced that the nation
nd committee had given the Missouri
delegates at large to Roosevelt there
was tumult and then Mr.. Finn
asked:
After that do you still compare
the national committee to the forty
thieves?"
Yes" responded Heney. 81 still
'compare some of the committee TO the
forty thieves"
but don't you think the commit
tee is ,proving?" Mr.. Finn con-
tinued.
"Only as to results" said Heney.
Governor w. X. Stubbs. OF Kansas;
William Allen White. Edward c. Car
rington, of the Maryland delegation,
and others shared In stirring up en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Carrigan aroused
cheers by predicting that the electors
to be chosen in Maryland probably
would be found with the electors OF
West Virginia and Pennsylvania In
support of Roosevelt In the electoral
college, even though he should not

After this meeting the members OF
the national committee began to ar
rive from the adjourned meeting at
the Coliseum and were at once sur
rounded and pressed for explana-
tions of the sudden adjournment fol-

siderably impressed by the news, and
