declared null and a new convention was

The Taft men insisted that this conven-

before the committee.
An attempt was made at the beginning
OF the session by the Roosevelt forces
to gain a committee roll call by the re.
quest OF eight members. Senator Borah
renewed the fight lost yesterday to
strike out the requirement Of twenty
votes for roll call.

Col. Roosevelt was expected TO hnaily

friends went so far as tc say that he
would leave New York next Tuesday

that he personally saw no reason for

said that he did not have any reason

attitude that a positive announcement
that the Colonel was coming would
