Chicago, Aug 4.--Headquarters for the
New York State delegation to the third
party convention, which reached here on
its special train late last night we're
opened in the Francis room Of the Con-
gress Hotel to-day. Timothy l.. Wood
ruff. chairman Of the delegation. was in
frequent conferences to-day with the dele
gates, preparatory TO a meeting which the
delegation will hold tomorrow to adopt
resolutions declaring the attitude Of the
third termers OF New York as TO the state
ticket. II has been decided that they
will not accept the nominees Of any other
party
AS the scheme is now laid out, there will
be Progressive state convention. early
in the autumn. which will nominate
complete state ticket If either OF the old
parties or the newly formed antiMurphy
Democratic organization, wants to put
some Of the third party candidates on its
ticket there won't be any objection from
the Rooseveltites. The latter make IL
plain. however, that they are going it
alone" and II any candidates are ac-
copied IL must be by the others.
Mr.. Woodruff was optimistic to-day.
He was far more cheerful than when he
was at the Republican convention, in
June as a Roosevelt delegate. He pre-
dicted that Colonel Roosevelt would be
elected, and that he would carry New
York State. Speaking OF the New York
State delegation. he said:
Then, too. We have with US las no
delegation Of which I have been a MEM
Der heretofore has had) that element OF
our civilization which believe Is capable
of producing more and greater beneficial
/ results than can be accomplished by men
alone. The recognition which the Ma
tional Progressive party has thus given
to women and their great value for the
accomplishment Of the purposes OF this
present political, social and industrial
crusade will unquestonably lead TO the
extension to them Of suffrage in the
state Of New York az soon as a referen-
dunn can be submitted to the people.
This, according TO the state constitution,
will he in November, 1915, the earliest
possible date as all proposed constitu-
tonal changes must pass two successive
state Senates before being voted on By
the people at the polls.
III what We hear from the West is any
where near true. there is no doubt about
Colonel Roosevelts election TO the Prcsi-
deucy this fall. for l am thoroughly con-
WINGED that the electoral vote Of New
York State IN Its entirety Will be cast FOR
him. There every one comedies the con-
test 10 be between Roosevelt and Wilson,
and none Of us has forgotten what Roose-
Welt did to Parker. When Parker was
nominated and started his campaign IN
1904 he was much stronger than Wilson is
to-day. When Parker was nominated the
betting was 20 ] that he would carry
New York State against Roosevelt. and
yet IN that election Roosevelt had the
largest majority ever given TO any candi-
GATE for President Of the United States.
New Yorks women delegates are not
the only women here who will take part
In the convention. California, for in
stance. has returned Mrs. Blaney, one or
the suffragist delegates 20 the Republican
convention. as a delegate 10 the Progress
sive gathering. All the women delegates
are attracting a lot OF attention.
Miss Kellor. Miss Clara b. Morrison ana
Mrs. William Grant Brown have been
, chosen assistant secretaries of the New
York delegation. They started out to-day
10 obtain enrolments for membership IN
the new party. especially of women and
suffragist workers. They reported much
success. and declared, moreover, that they
