To-day.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MeXican)
New York, March 27.-Delegates to
! the Republican national convention
fayoring the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt were defeated at the New
York state primaries in every district
where they opposed candidates desig
mated by the regular Republican or
ganization and claimed by the follow
erS of President Taft. The Taft cam
paign managers declared today at
least eighty-three of New York's nine
ty delegates would go to Chicago fay-
oring the Presidents denomination.
This estimate included the four dele
gates at large to be chosen at the
state convention on April 9. The re-
manning seven delegates were desig-
mated by the regular district organiza-
tons, but conceded to Colonel Roose-
welt
Roosevelt Lost Every Fight.
Colonel Roosevelt lost the only two
fights his supporters made upstate"
and the returns from the fifteen con-
tested districts in New York City and
Long Island gave his opponents
plurality averaging more than two to
one. Colonel RoCseyelt's supporters
now are expected 10 concentrate their
attention on the state convention in
an effort to prevent the Taft men from
sending to Chicago an instructed dele
cation. The primary law in operation
yesterday did not permit specific in
structions of the delegates at the time
they We're elected
The leaders concede that the action
Of the New York delegation will be in
huenced by the results in other states
that hold primaries or conventions
during the interval before the New
York convention.
No Statement From Managers.
The Roosevelt campaign managers
confined their statements to declara-
tions regarding the confu that
reigned in New York City. from the
i failure to deliver an adequate number
of ballots. Former Judge Charles H.
Duell. chairman of the Roosevelt citi-
zens committee, and Chairman Koenig,
of the Republican county committee
both declared they would appeal ID
Governor Dix for a second primary in
! New York City.
Wish a New Primary.
Roosevelt's partisans charged the
fallure to provide ballots in all dis
tricts to the Vaccinations of their
opponents The organization men, on
the other hand, attributed the situa-
ton to the court action brought by
the Roosevelt forces in their unsuc-
cessful attempt to have the names OF
their delegates printed at the head OF
the ticket. This, the printers say, de
ilayed their work a week and the mon
umental nature Of the task made it i'm
possible to get enough ballots ready
in time for the election.

would have to be reprinted and the
whole election machinery revived.
Sour Grapes.
Fort Wayne, Ind, March 21.-Tht
primaries in New York yesterday, il
which the Roosevelt forces were de
feated, Mr.. Roosevelt, on his way Il
Chicago today, declared were a farce
IN New York state as whole ther,
was no real vote of the Republican
party whatever" he said. "Outside o
New York City the primary law is
farce. Inside of New York City it ha
been shown to be a criminal farce
Even as it is, one-foutrh of tn
delegates are out and out Roosevelt
men Of the remaining threefourths
the great majority of those electe
from New York City have no NOR
claim to sit in a Republican conver
ton than if they were sent to it b
Tammany Hall for they We're electe
. by methods more outrageous than tn
worst methods that Tammany Hall il
self ever used in an election.
Roosevelt Charges Fraud.
5 ''In my Chicago speech tonight,
/ shall take this matter up in detail an
t explain why these men in no shade 0
- way represent the Republican party
and why no action of theirs should b
accepted as representative OF or binC
!. ing on the Republican party" he cor
,tinued.

Mr.. Roosevelt learned of the ou
