CnlcagO, June 2G.-A1ter making pre-
liminary arrangements for the organi-
zation of new party. Colonel Roose-
tions with the republican national
committee. In a statement setting forth
his position he said that since the con-
ventton had declined to remove the del
egates whom he contends are fraudu-
lent. he could not recognize its author
ity. He urged his delegates to refrain
from voting in the convention, altho
stating that in case they did vote he
could not free them from the obliga-
ton TO cast their ballots for him.
The Roosevelt steam roller dele
gates and their alternates who were
excluded from the convention met Col
onel Roosevelt In body. The colonel
held brief reception, informed them
that the plans for a new party were
being pushed forward rapidly, and
urged them to stand firm. 1t was his
first intention to meet them by state
delegations. but they collected so rap
idly in the corridors of the hotel that
1t was decided to march them all into
the Roosevelt national committees as
sembly hall at one time.

name will not be presented by his
friends at this convention as now con-
stituted." was the declaration OF orms-
by McHarg, of the Roosevelt forces
early today.
''The nomination speech OF William
A. Prendergast which had been intend
ed to be delivered in presenting Mr..
Roosevelt. will not be made The
Roosevelt forces will remain in the
convention, but as long as tainted dele
gates remain, and there seems every
prospect that they will remain. we will
not participate in the nomination."
Insist on Third Party.
Mr.. NcHarg declared that Colonel
Roosevelt's friends insisted upon a
third party. and with the close Of the
convention they would remain in Chi
cago with Mr.. Roosevelt for the pur-
pose of comforting on the new party
plans.
Mr.. McHarg expressed the belief that
a convention would be planned to be
called probably within six weeks.
No Bryan Roosevelt Ticket.
''Have you seen the suggestion Of a
possible independent ticket with Bryan
and Roosevelt as the standard bearers.
Mr.. Roosevelt the candidate for vice
PRESIDENT he was asked.
Does the sun bow at the moon?"
was Mr. McHarg's reply.
Mr.. McHarg replied that he saw no
reason why an honest democrat and an
honest republican could not unite on
a platform OF progressiveism.
ReossveIt Withdraw Name.
1t was strongly indicated that Col
onel Roosevelt's name would not be
presented to the convention at all ex-
cept without his consent. His Anal In
structions to the leaders were that his
name should be withheld. 1t was
pointed out. however that Coienel
Roosevelts expressed desire in this
regard might not control those dele
gates from states where fiat Roosevelt
Instructions were given.
Plans For New Party.
There was much talk early today
among Roosevelt delegates of Il mass
meeting to effect some form OF tempo
rary organization OF a new party. 1t is
the desire OF the leaders to take such
step before the delegates separate. that
the work OF forming new party may
begin at once In every part OF the
country.
II had not been decided whether a
meeting would be held in the coliseum
on adjournment Of the convention or
whether the delegates would go to some
other hall, but the latter course was
most in favor.
