Members Of the House from districts
where Roosevelt sentiment is strong

A number OF Republicans are worried
because Of the probability that the

House, and a vote for the resolution
will be q direct clap at the Roosevelt

MANUEL'S INTRIGUE

Deposed Portuguese King
Faces Possible Exile for
Part In New Plots.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Deposed from his
throne because he was too busy enter
tanning Gaby Deslys to oppose the re.
publican movement. King Manuel OF
Portugal now faces exile from Great
Britain. A wave of popular indignation
that the exiled ruler should have taken
advantage Of mis- refuge here to plot
the downfall of the now recognized
government Of Portugal has set In, and
the foreign office Is expected to act.
The intimation has been conveyed to
Manuel that the sooner he leaves Eng
land the better satisfied the English
government will bo. The admission that
Manuel and Don Miguel of Braganza,
the pretender to tho Portuguese throne,
not only met at Dover. but that the
latter pledged support to the deposed
king in another effort to regain the
throne, was not only a violation OF
neutrality. but is considered breach Of
faith on ManuePs part.
When Manuel was given asylum In
England he made tacit promise that
he would engineer no plots on British
soil. This pledge has been broken, and
the foreign office will ask him to le9ve.

BLAMES ROOSEVELT BOOMERS.
Gov. Dix's Primary Message Holds Them
Responsible for Confusion.

ALBANY. March 2s.-Theodore Roose-
welt was left practically alone and de-
serted In the State Senate to- day when
Republicans like Edgar r. Bracket, the
minority floor leader. and Josiah T..
Newcomb Of the New York County Re-
publican Committee took fall out of
Roosevelt campaign tactics Gov. Dix
sent special message To the Senate in
cooperating the complaint sent to him
last night by Charles II. Duell, chair
can OF the Roosevelt campaign COM
mittee. in which criticism was made of
the delay in delivering ballots for Tues
days primaries and in which the pri-
mary law is denounced az fraud and
mockery. In his message the Gov
crnor said:
Complaint has been made to me by
the chairman of one OF the Republican
committees in New y ork city that the
primary election there. and throughout
the State. was mockery and that by
reason OF protracted delay in the delivery
OF the ballots-in some instances said
not to have been delivered at all-great
numbers OF voters were deprived of their
suffrage.
lHere the Governor quotes the Duell
telegram OF yesterday on behalf OF the
Roosevelt boomers. and continues.)

When the message was read in the
Senate Majority Leader Wagner moved
that It be referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
Senator Bracket insisted he would
not permit the message taking that
course until he denounced as IAN un-

that the primary law was enacted as

President White Of Miners Says Hesrln.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, March cs.-In reply
to a statement given out by the anthra.
cite coal operators blaming the miners
for failure TO negotiate their difficulties
John p. White. president Of the United
Mine Workers. tonight issued the follow
ing statement:
Responsibility for the anthracite Goa
situation rests entirely with the oper-
ators. They refused the miners repre-
'sentatives a hearing. They would not e Ven
listen to single argument or reason
in support of the miners proposal, but
instead informed them that each and every
section contained in their proposal was
rejected and furthermore that their
answer was final.
The miners representatives wanted
to Ike heard. They were ready to try
to negotiate an agreement along recipro-
cal lines but how could they do this when
they were refused hearing.
I'VE have always stood ready and
still occupy that position TO meet the
operators on a basis Of equality and with
an open mind. Only in this way can
an honest effort be made to negotiate
an agreement. A discriminating public
can clearly see that We have done our full
duty. 1t is the anthracite operators
who are responsible for the threatened
strike"

that at several collieries preparations are

This is not done unless long period

I'VE simply cannot comply with the de-

circumstances what are we TO do except

their action may bring on trouble o. the
