split in the party?"

THAT Is question which the colonel
should answer himself" saId the gov
ernor. Il have talked to Mr.. Roosevelt

and | have just talked with him now.

say that the delegation from my state
has decided that 1t will not bolt this con.
vention."

the Florentine room of the Congress ho-
tel, where the Roosevelt delegates and
campaign leaders counselled together,
this formal statement was issued from
Campaign Manager Dixon's headquar-
ters:
The Roosevelt delegates at the meet

will refuse to be bound by the action Of
the convention"
Two Groups In Roosevelt Camp.
The Roosevelt camp has gradually
divided into two groups" said George L.
Record of New Jersey tonight. "A new
party is In the process of birth. AS to
the new party there are almost as many
opinions as there are men. In the inner
councils OF the Roosevelt camps two
groups are forming. One group is sat-
isfied to beat Taft and have a mod
erately progressive candidate nominated.
The second group believes that the set
ting aside of Roosevelt after he has car
ried the primaries would in itself be a
victory for the ,reactionaries and the
standpatters II compromise ticket Is
the outcome. we must wait for other
times and other conditions to shape the
new movement. If Roosevelt takes the
field as candidate, under whatever
party name. the new party is born"
White Explains Lineup.
In an interview published here tonight,
William Allen White Of Kansas, q

Broadly speaking. those who are in

Stubbs, Bristow and Allen of Kansas,
Governor Aldrich Of Nebraska, Hadley
Of Missouri, Glasscock of West Virginia
the men from the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, Deneen of Illinois-are for making
the nomination regular. They already
control the republican organizations In
their states, and they have an active
effect upon the party that is as pro-
gressive as any new party could be.
They have no wish to scuttle it. They
desire Roosevelt's nomination to come
regularly. On the other hand, men like
Garfield, Pinchot, Medill Mccormick. Bev-

most of the New MISUNDERSTANDING
Governor Bass--do not control their party
organization at home and will do better

classes of men herewith noted represent

councils. There are intermediary views
and conflicting views"
