Taft sug- gests that New take up with the com mittee the matter of open hearings; and also that the deliberations over contests be carried on in open ses- sions. Chairman New expressed the opinion tonight that the action taken by Taft and Roosevelt would have great weight with the committee.
 The Taft headquarters were opened today by Joseph F. Healing of Indian apolis but up to a late hour only two eastern representatives of the presi- dent had reached Chicago, John Ryan and A. A. Erly of the publicity bureau. htalllB urged DItClOI MtTHllitN " telegraph today to hurry to Chicago and he is expected to reach the city tomorrow.

WILL FIGHT ROOT.
Colonel Roosevelt Issues a Statement
 of His Determination.

OYSTER BAY, June 3.-UpOn the selection of a temporary chairman of the republican national convention may hang the political fortunes of former President Roosevelt. He de- cided tonight to oppose with all his strength the seating of Senator Root and he issued a call to all his sup porters to stand by him.
 The colonel's decision to make a square issue of the seating of Root was reached after a consultation with his advisers, at SagamOre Hill today where Senator Dixon, Clifford Pinchot William L. Ward George w. Perkins, Frank E. Kellogg. Andrew Kahn and TruytOn Beale were in conference
 After Roosevelt had completed his statement he brought up the question whether he is to go to the Chicago convention.
 In a lengthy statement dictated by Roosevelt today the colonel gives his reasons for opposing Root as tenn porarv chairman of the convention. Roosevelt pays a high tribute to Root as secretary of state and secretary of war. but charges that Root is ranged against the men who stand for pro- gressive principles within the repub- lican party He says that Root stands as a representative of men and poli- cies of reaction.
 Root is put forward by the bosses | and representatives of special privi- leges." declares Roosevelt Roosevelt l'savs the fact that William J. Barnes demands Roots selection is an illum l mating light on Tafts relations both
 to the bosses in politics and to the 1 special interests in the business world l The colonel says a great majority of the republican party has unequiV- ocalIy repudiated Taft and he adds that if the wishes of the republican voters could be given fair expression
 Taft would have but q corporal's
 guard in the convention.
 J Says Roosevelt: "Taft's nOmina-
 tion at Chicago can only be brought about by nullifying the will of the people and by fraudulently seating q
 sufficient number of boss picked ano boss controlled delegates in the place
 of those who have been legally elected
 by the people themselves. The pro-
 gram cannot possibly succeed
