TAFT TO FORGE
 TEDDY TO SHOW
 HIS HAND NOW
Washington Hears that President Will Not Seek Nomination If Roosevelt Wants It.
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Jan. 2-Political cir cles were astounded, this afternoon, over report credited to certain well known members of President Taft's political force, that the President has. determined to force Colonel Roosevelt 1912 nomination of the Republican Convention. This summary, which no one about the White House would discuss in any form, was that Secre- tary to President E1illes is enroute to New York to tell Colonel Roosevelt that MT. Taft will not fight for the nomination but will withdraw if. the former president is really a candidate for the nomination.
 EilleS disappeared from the White House, last night He is believed to be enroute to New York, where he is to confer with Otto Barnard, the New York banker who was a New Years guest at the White House. Then, 1t is said by those backing today's ru- Roosevelt. If the latter is a. candi- date then Taft will announce that he is not seeking a renomination.
 However, should it develop that the Colonel is backing Senator LaFollette. for the nomination, then the Taft campaign for renomination will go on and every effort will be made to pre- vent the Wisconsin Senator capturing any delegates to the convention, ac- cording to reports that stirred politf- cal Washington, today.
 50 Tar as Tart IS concerned, ne ana his mana gers insist that they can de- feat LaFollette on the floor of the National Convention and they insist that even the open support of EaFol- lette by Former President Roosevelt would not draw very much material strength from Taft.
 It is said that. if Hilles finds out that Roosevelt is backing the LaFol- lette boom then he will demand that William Barnes. IT,. chairman of the New York State Republican Commit tee keep the promise he made when elected chairman and see. that a solid Taft federation is elected from the Empire State to the National COnven- tion in Chicago, next June.

PARK COMMISSION FAVOR CRANE CO.'S
 SOUTH AVE. PLAN
Recommends that Common Council Drop It's Suit Ac- -cording to Company's
 Terms

| The board of park commissioners, having consulted with: retiring City Attorney Thomas M Cullfnari reIa4 tive to the litigation between the city and the Crane Go. over possession of a. right of way from South avenue across to Barnum's Dyke, will recom- mend to the Common Council in a communication to be read at the meeting tonight, the acceptance of the Crane Co.'S offer of settlement of the law suit now in the Superior court.
 The board of park commissioners is in accord with the Crane Co.'s pro- position, for 1t believes that the Con necticut Co can be persuaded to run it's cars out South avenne past the northern edge of the property that the ommissioners plan to add to the park, from the present bathing houses west.
 The ultimate plan of the commis- sioners is to remove the bathing houses to Fayerweather Island. The inaccessibility of the proposed bath houses will be obviated by running cars out on the island, so called, skirting the northern edge, and thus keeping the trolley traffic off the park proper, and particularly off the
 In 1901 the city ordered South ave. nue laid out westerly as far as the owners worked adjoining property to RTa0e- communication was eSLaDllSn- ed from South avenue to the Bar mum dyke by means of a marrow roadway. The Crane Co. subsequent ly laid. claim to this strip, and. re- gently built gate across the road.
 The city at once prayed out an fn- junction by which the passage way was ordered kept open until owner ship of the property can be decided.
 The company's proposition is to waive what rights they may have to exercise against the continuation of South avenue westerly from its pres ent terminus. across the northern edge of the property recently acquired by the park commissioners west of Bar num's dyke. The company stipulates that 1t make no claim for damages and pending the completion of the layout within three years it will al- low the present passage way to stay open.
 The park commissioners having first sounded, the city attorney, have pre- pared a communications which will be submitted to the Common Council, to- night asking the council to authorize the city attorney to withdraw the suit under the conditions proposed.
