Pennsylvania Leader and West Virginian Governor Say States Will Recognize Roosevelt.
Taft Will Not Be Recogniz- ed As Regular and State Electors Will Not Vote for Him.

Coliseum, Chicago, June 12-Thst Pennsylvania and West Virginia will not recognize President Taft as the regular nominee of the Republican party, should the Taft forces contro' the national convention. was the joint declaration here, today, of William Finn, head of the Roosevelt vigilance committee, and Governor Glasscocx, of West Virginia. They declared that under no circumstances would they accept the nomination of President Taft.
 Finn and Governor Glasscock de- clared that the electorate delegates of their states would vote for Roose- welt in. the electorate college if Taft was nominated.
 If they steal the roll in this con- vention and name Taff said F11nn, i've will protect ourselves. The s4afe convention of Pennsylvania has net adjourned. We have 30 out of g electors instructed for Roosevelt. There is nothing to prevent our cleo tors casting their ballots for RooOe- welt. Even if Taft's name is printed on the ballot no elector is bound to vote for him.

 Governor Glasscoch wzs at d5s Slde when he made this flat defi: The same situation holds with us, Glasscock said. Every one of our electors is pledged to Roosevelt Onr state convention has not yet adjourn. ed and West Virginia will do exactly as Pennsylvania"
 "In other states where there are presidential primaries there is the same situation" continued Finn, land they may take the same action Illinois has chosen Roosevelt electors and I consider them perfectly tusti- fled in voting for Roosevelt if Taft is named by theft of these delegates. I do not know whether they will do this or not but they are justified"
 Governor Glasscock broke in again, saying:
 "Our entire electorate ticket is in structed for Roosevelt and we will not stand for stolen nomination. We do not have to have Rooseve1t's name on the ticket. The other side has no means whatever of putting Taft electors on the ticket"
 These statements by Finn and Glasscock resulted in wild furry at Roosevelt headquarters and Dixon made haste to announce that there was no danger of Roosevelt not be- ing named. This stereotyped state ment did not lessen the meaning of Films ultimatum. Finn, Glasscock and various leaders from Pennsyl- vania were in conference over the matter all the forenoon"

 The missing papers in the Arizona contests having appeared, they were taken up for consideration when the committee resumed it's sessions, to- day.
 The proposition to begin the night sessions, tomorrow night, will be pressed as the Taft members of the committee were today accusing the Roosevelt men of adopting dilatory tactics in the hope that the big con- tests could not be disposed of by the time of the opening of the big con- vention. If necessary, the commit tee declared, they would sit all night, beginning tomorrow, in order to dis pose of the contests outstanding A bitter attack on Roosevelt for his declaration that Taft men, in seating Taft delegates from Indiana commit ted treason, was made, today, by X.

 'If the framers of the constitution of the United States" said Steven- son, had ever conceived it possible that a President could have been as- sailed in the language that has been directed by ex-President Roosevelt against his successor in office, PreSi- dent Taft, I am sure that they would have adopted a section of the consti- tuition which would have designated as reasonable any such utterances as Colonel Roosevelt has used in assail- ing Mir.

Chicago, June 12.-Roosevelt ad- herents on the Republican national committee said, today, they do not expect to win very many of the re- maining contests that are to be heard by the committee. The committee. early today, took up the Louisiana contests. There are three sets of delegates-at-large from Louisiana and contesting delegates from several of the districts caused both by the Taft Roosevelt fight and contests for con- trol of the party machinery within the state.
 Speaking for the Roosevelt men on the committee, Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco graft prosecutor, today, in statement bristling with bitter depunciation, charged that the Taft members of the committee are decid- ing contests in Taft's favor regardless of the merits of the cases. The re- suits in the committee, Tuesday. when the committee gave Taft IT dele gates from Kentucky and Roosevelt one. infuriated the Roosevelt follow CTS and most of them left the com rnittee room loudly denouncing the committees actions.
 Taft men predicted, early today. that Taft would be given the Louisi- ana delegation of 20, today. To date, the committee has heard 102 contests and has decided 101 of them in Tafts favor and one for Roosevelt. There are approximately 14s con tests yet to be heard. :
 The proceedings of the national committee fin handling the contests between Roosevelt and Taft are the most scandalo and disgracefurfa farce that I've eyer seen enacted in the B years have been in politics and I've watched the toughest politicians in the world in San Francisco said Heney in his statement, today
 Abe Reuf, in his palmiest days. couldn't have approached them. I've sent men to the penitentiary for do- ing the same kind of things only there are no laws that will take care of the present situation in the na- tionaI committee.
