 It is plan proceed to the nomination of the colonel in the Coliseum and claim regularity for him.
 Colonel Roosevelt has not definitely committed himself to inc latter part of the plan He is considering the advsabt of delaying action several weeks and then to entirely new convention This would not be held until after the democrats have acted in Baltimore.

draw from the convention was the action taken today by the rules committee, which would ekable the national committee to fill the seats thus vacated by the selection of other delegates.
 The plan of action adopted by the Roosevelt leaders is an abrupt departure from the position taken by Colonel Roose- welt and his closest associates yester- day, but they deny tonight it was an ad- mission of weakness on their part, or that their decision not to bolt was because they could not obtain the support of a sufficient number of delegates.
 ''This is the shrewedest move we have made" said one of the leaders. Tt will enable us to hold a genuine republican convention without having it sai~- that we have bolted. Every act of the conven- ton which is accomplished by fraudulent votes is illegal Tho action of the frardu- convention finally adjourned will. there fore. be illegal and we shall decline to recognize it.
 we will remain in our seats and pro- ceed with the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt after having senteu the 7s Roosevelt delegates who are entitled to be seated. and who have been excluded. ''
 Governor Stubbs' Views
 After Colonel Roosevelt discussed the tense situation of the afternoon he had among his callers Governor Stubbs of Kansas. They conferred for some time When the governor had left the confer ence room. he too. announced that there will be no bolt.
 This talk of bolt is foolish,'' said Governor Stubbs Colonel Roosevelt never talked about a bolt"
 ''Is there a dlfference?' the governor was asked, between a bc.s and a split in the party?'
 That is a question which the colonel should answer himself" said the govern or "I have talked to MT. Roosevelt many times during the last few days and have just talked with him now Never has he mentioned the subject of bolt. Of course. there has been much talk of the Roosevelt forces bolting and that has af- fected the delegations. It has affected my state.
 But I want to say that the delega- ton from my state has decided that it will not bolt this convention
 When did the Kansas delegation take this acfion? the governor was asked.
 The Kansas delegation voted today that it would not bolt said Governor Stubbs.
 Can Be No Compromise Candidate
 What about a compromise candidate?r
 inri Sah pe no compromise cdndldate as far as We are concerned" the gov ernor replied.
 After the late afternoon conference in the Florentine room of the Congress ho- tel where the Roosevelt state dele9s ,es and campaign leaders counselIed tog3h- er. this formal statement was issued from Campaign Manager Dixon's headquarters:

Committee Votes P to 7 to Make Temporary Organi-

Chicago. June 2o.-The committee on permanent organization voted 22 10 I to make the temporary organization permanent This will continue Root as chairman and continue all the tenn porary officers throughout
 The motion to make the temporary organization permanent was made by Governor Pennewill of Delaware. whereupon Ira C. Copely of Illinois moved a substitute. He asked the com- mittee to suspend action until the re- port of the committee on credentials had been acted upon. Debate was mild and the copely motion was defeated ' to 22.

The colonel himself said he believed ne would be able to count on the support of the bulk of the republicans in me western states, and that he would expect to derive considerable strength from the democrats. He would not express any on;niou how soon after the adjournment of the present convention the party would be formed, should such decision be re- ported.
 The opinion was expressed by some of his supporters that the outcome at the convention would have g. considerable hearing upon the situation
 Colonel Roosevelt said there had been some difference of opinion among his supporters as to the advisability of bolt ing. The Ohio delegates, he said, felt that under their instructions they should remain in the convention until after the nomination. Other delegates including some of those from California, were in favor of withdrawing at once.
 The agreement finally arrived at was renorted at caucus in which were two representatives from each of the states having Roosevelt delegates. as well as tie states in which the Roosevelt candidates for seats in the convention have been excluded.
 Two Resolutions Passed
 ..The caucus passed unanimously reso- lution introduced by Henry Allen or Kansas" said Colonel Roosevelt In ex- nlaining the situation. This resolution was to the effect that the republican nerty would not submit to having me Domination for President determined by theft and if the convention declined to seal the delegates fraudulently unseated bv the national committee, the Roosevelt delegates would decline to be bound by any action of the convention
 "A second resolution was passed later. mat inc Roosevelt delegates would take part in the convention if the 7s delegates I'd which we are entitled were seated, ana If they were not seated they would remain in the convehtlon put hot partici- pate in It."
 The text of these resolutions was not made public
 Colonel Roosevelt explained that the aetion of the caucus did not mean that many delegates would bolt, but they re- served the right to take what course they preferred as to leaving the convention roosevelt leaders said it was the unani- mons decision of their men that they uould not quit the hall. They will re- main in their seats whAe the Taft pro- erarnme Is carried through, they saif. a,d when the convention Is over will continue to hold their seats and proceed i'd effect their own organization Colonel Roosevelt made 1t plain that he would not support any compromise candidate norainated by the convention as at pres ent constituted
 He declined to make any statement in regard to Governor Hadiey or any other individual, confining himself to an ex- plsnat;on of his general position.

 "There are scores of men in the country more competent to present the keynote of democracy to the conven- tion than Parker declared the Maine senator. "The ssdemocratic party owes him nothing land 1t would be folly to place a man like him in such dell cate position"
 Talk about the democratic platform was started today by Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio upon his arrival to join the Harmon boomers He an- nounced he would advocate plank providing for letting out government funds to banks on competitive bidding. The ohio senator claimed the funds are entrusted to half dozen favored Wall street institutions.

Chicago. June -fSpecial.)-The Roose- yet-Taft handicap was virtually ended to- day at the Coliseum downs by Jockey Roosefelt faulting before the grandstand. He trailed Taft around the ring for wire was reached the colonel stopped to change mounts.
 Taft, on the q. O. F. elephant, out of courtesy. delayed crossing the wire until perhaps Saturday The spectators will hear the platform debated before the race is completed.
 The progressive party Is the result of the Chicago handicap. Taft has the votes, legal or illegal So all the colonel could do was to yell fraud" and bolt He will run for President as progress i've and will have a western man for lis partner.
 Struck an Iceberg
 The republican ship struck an iceberg when Roosevelt made this announcement and is slowly sinking. l. The wireless failed to work today and, although one 's o. S" was sent to Gov ernor Hadleg, he had retired for the night. There being no other wireless aboard this resulted in the foundering. Roosevelt will make an effort to get relief 10 tho sink ing craft on the ship "Progressive /" How ever, the democratic lighthouse tender Underwood is expected to pick up the salvage. The nomination of Taft may be made Friday night or Saturday morning.
 Alabamians Still Victims
 The steam roller refused today to seat Oscar Hundley and c. R. Lewis of Besse- mer. the two Roosevelt delegates from the Ninth district. The credentials commit tee took 1t upon itself to refuse them seats. and the situation was not ,tnex- pected The refused delegates had no comment to make. The refusal to seat the Alabama delegates ended all hope that the roll would be purged of alleged H. lega delegates.
 Negroes Get Coliseum Tickets In order to adroitly buy some negro delegates 1t is sai6 scores of tickets to the Coliseum have been given the ne- gro delegates. Tickets bring about $50 each, and are readily purchased The whole convention is full of scandal, ae- cording to the confessios of both sides The most shameful debauchery has been the pit into which some delegates-ne- groes-have been thrown The situation begsars description. The utter abandon ment of decency is the talk of thousands.
