Chicago, H., June 19-The long
expected crash in the republican
ranks came tonight.
The Roosevelt forces, acting.
they said, under the personal direc
tion of the Colonel, began laying
plans for independent action in the
national convention as a forerunner
of more drastic action expected in
the convention tomorrow or Friday,
the Roosevelt members of the COM
mittee on credentials withdrew from
that body tonight They withdrew
in person, and in effect withdrew
all the Roosevelt contests which had
been scaled down from 80 to rs.
Colonel Roosevelt tonight was in
the midst Of series OF exciting con-
ferences and was busy figuring on the
loyal delegates whom he could eX
pect to carry with him out of the
convention, or rather into a separate
convention on the convention floor
in the event Of crisis being
reached Persons who talked with
Roosevelt tonight said there is no
longer any doubt regarding his at
titude.

Remarkable Demonstration.

Remarkable Demonstration.
In the course of a speech on the
floor of the convention, James Wat
son, the Taft leader, expressed the
belief that Hadley of Missouri would
consent to refer the whole matter to
the committee on credentials when
it should be appointed
Mr.. Watson passed back to where
Hadley stood, and the two passed
down and stood in front Of the plat
form. side by side Cheering broke
out which lasted several minutes A
few of the Taft delegates partici-
pated. At last the New York and
Indiana delegates joined in the
racket. and finally nearly the whole
body of delegates were on their feet
cheering.
The New Jersey men, taking their
standard, started up the aisle West
Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina.
Kansas and Oklahoma followed Ohio
and Nebraska joined the yelling pa
rade. California, Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania and North Dakota
took a hand. The noise was deafen-
ing. California bore its totem Of the
golden bear. The uproar showed no
signs of diminution when it had
lasted twenty minutes.
Then beautiful young girl in the
gallery waved a picture of Roosevelt
and threw kisses TO the crowd
When the crowd saw her they turned
the convention into a pandemonium
that lasted half an hour.
Another Defeat for Roosevelt.
When the vote was finally taken
on Hadley's motion. the Roosevelt
men suffered their second defeat in
the convention. The proposition to
unseat 80 Taft delegates and seat 90
Roosevelt men in their places was
defeated The vote stood 564 to
$40.
Full Details of Hadley Ovation
The ovation was quietly interpre-
ted by many delegates as possible
forerunner Of a boom for the Mis-
souri, executive for president. The
result of the action of the conven-
tion today puts the Roosevelt con-
tests up to the credentials commit
tee which was appointed shortly be-
fore the cnvention adjourned today.
The outburst for HadIey started
while James Z. Watson was conclud-
ing the argument for the Taft fac
tion as to the contested delegates.
Shouts for Hadley were 50 insis-
tent. that Watson stopped when Tho
governor came to the platform. His
state delegation grabbed their ban

mittee room with the sta cement,
however, that they would leave again
at once if the point was not CON
ceded to them.
Bolt Definitely.
After returning 10 the committee
room the Taft majority stood pat and
refused to allow evidence to be sub
mitted in the contested eases, where
upon the Roosevelt men definitely
bolted the credentials committee
Committee Adjourns.
After the partial bolt during
which the Roosevelt members of the
, credentials committee rushed from
the committee room tonight, all the
Roosevelt members with the excep-
ton Of r. r. Mccormick Of Chicago,
left the committee room at 11:45 to-
night.
The second and more determined
bolt came after some of the members
who first left were induced to re-
turn to the rooms. 1t is stated the
bolt was ordered personally by
iColonel Roosevelt, and was because
the Roosevelt adherents could not
get a full hearing of the contests
seats they demand.
| After the Roosevelt men left the
committee adjourned until 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Colonel Makes No Statement.
| Roosevelt would not issue
formal statement as to his warlike
intentions early in the evening but
was said to have made his position
clear to his followers. 1t is reported
/ that Senator Borah declared after
leaving a conference with the Col
onel that he would not bolt.
\ Just before midnight Roosevelt
appeared at a conference of his sup
porters and counselled delay before
final action was taken and the con
ference adjourned until later in the
night to permit Roosevelt to secure
certain information which will be
laid before them.
Taft Men Will Hold Hall.
The Taft forces said they were
prepared for any attempt of the
Roosevelt people to hold separa G
convention in the Coliseum, that 500
policement and 500 assistant ser
geants at arms will be station in the
hall to prevent any such disorder.
Ii is said the Roosevelt leaders
would plead With the convention to-
morrow TO instruct the credentials
committee to grant one more hear
ing Of the contests.
Roosevelt will be in the hall al
the time, it is said, and while he
has no legal standing the convention
