MUNsEY MAKES DENIAL.
Says Roosevelt Didn't Promise Him
ST. James Ambassadorship.

New York, May 21.--FranlS A. Mum
sey today, authorized a denial of the
statement recently published to the
effect that Mr.. Roosevelt mad promis
ed him the ambassadorship to the
court of st. James in the event of his
election. Mr.. Munsey says:
Il wish to say that there is not one
word of truth or shading of truth in it.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never offered mo
anything, and have never asked any
thing of him. | do not want anything.
am not working for Mr.. Roosevelt
for personal reward. other than such
reward as would come to any other
one of our hundred millions of people.
Il want to add too, in this connec-
ton, that whatever | am doing in this
Roosevelt campaign is done from the
citizen point of view and not with
regard to any personal work for Mr.
Roosevelt himself. This is perfectly
clear to Mr.. Roosevelt and is. l am
sure, as he would wish it TO be.
If this foolish and sensational story
were merely a personal matter, |
would not necessarily bother to deny
it. but coming at this juncture it take,
on national Importance as it has a
direct bearing on the campaign"

THE COLONEL PLEASED
But Refuses Comment-Speaks of
Chairman of the Convention.

Oyster Bay, y. Y, May 2l.-Col
Roosevelt was advised of the returns
in the Ohio primary contest UP until
about II o'clock. tonight, showing at
that hour a lead in his favor, but he
declined to comment on the returns
until the result was definitely known
In regard to the selection of tenn
porary presiding officer of the Repub-
liean National Convention for which
position Senator Root was named, yes
terday. Col. Roosevelt issued the fol-
lowing statement:
IF the Progressives. as now seems
probable, have a substantial majority
lat the Chicago Convention, I assume
that they will wish every man who
speaks for the convention to be in
thorough sympathy with their prin-
|ciples and with the cause for which
they stand.
The temporary chairman has for
almost his sole function the delivery
of speech which is supposed to
strike the keynote of the situation or
at least to give forceful expression to
the convictions and purposes of ma
jority of the convention. Unless the
national committee name a man who
the convention is willing to accept as
its spokesman the convention will. ]
assume substitute its own choice.
This was done in the convention
of 1884 of which | was member
when the national committee named
as temporary chairman Mr.. Powell
Clayton and we of the convention sub
stituted for him Mr.. Lynch

 The whole truth about New York delegates to national convention is that eighty-six delegates have been elected Four at large to be elected 1t state convention. Two delegates of eightv-six elected have been in- structed for Taft. the other eighty four are instructed for no one. they refuse to be instructed either for Taft or Roosevelt. Of this eighty four uninstructed delegates twenty eight will vote for Roosevelt. thirty two are for Taft and tWenty-four are waiting developments.
