Theodore Roosevelt denied today
in dispatch from New York the
report that he intended going TO
Chicago by special train at mo-
ment,s notice. II know Of no such
plan" he said. II have no present
intention of going - Chicago this
week, and / won't 50 unless IL is
necessary. Mr.. Perkins telephoned
me this morning. und l am very
sure that II such trip had been
contemplated he would have told
me about it,"
Will the Colonel Bolt?
The various interpretation M to
Iwhsdher Col. RpDsgvelt would bolt
or whether he would not are little
considered here for tie reason that
lttek we'll known that Col. Roosevelt
I'm the event of defeat could not take
lhis followers with him.
This talk of boiling has been q
very great benefit to President TAM
and to President Taft's fortunes
here. In the first place the dele
gates to this convention believe m
the Republican party and they are
not boilers, they declare. They may
be defeated, they add, but they viii
/ not bolt for any Republican ON top
of earth. AT Heast that is their pres
aent attitude
Since the arrival of Mr.. Finn It
has become known that Col. RcOse-
velt has not selected the delegate
4 In the conversation with whom he is
TO fight Senator Root for the tenn
porary chairmanship. Col. Ro0se-
yelt's friends believe that he has
made tactical mistake in anncEpc-
ling his opposition to Senator Root
/ for the reason that he gave Sena-
1toT Roots friends the opportunity to
secure pledges Of delegates to sup
/ port Senator Roof.

we're added to the Taft column by
the action OF the Republican national
courmittee upon the Roosevelt con
tests from those states. All Of the
contests presented before the COM
nittee were decided in Tafts favor,
and in all except two the decision OF
the committee was unanimous, A.
though one roll-call test apparently
had shown is anti-Taft votes.
The cases decided were those OF
| the six delegates-at-large and the two
each in the first, second. fifth, sixth
and ninth congressional districts IN
Alabama, and. the four delegates-at-
large and the two each in the first and
second districts OF Arkansas.
The contest over the six delegates
at-large from Arizona was postponed
! until later day on motion OF Com
/ mitteeman Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Work win begin next with the re-
naming Arkansas cases and these
probably will be followed by the Flor
ida cases.

arms of the Republican national con.
vention appealed to Mayor Harrison
