Gompers and Morrison
Leave for Trenton to
Have Talk With Wilson

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Frank Morrison. secretary, left at 1880
clock today tor Trenton, N. j., where
they will have a conference at o'clock
with Governor Wilson. A statement re-
garding the attitude of the Federation
of Labor toward the contest for the
Presidency is likely to follow the visit.
The American Federation of Labor at
its last convention pledged its support
to the political party which will do the
most for organized labor. The Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Baltimore Is
2 repetition of the Denver platform OF
the same party and the Denver platform
was declared highly satisfactory to
labor by President Gompers when he
came out for Bryan four years ago.
President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison told friends here before they
left that they desired to have a talk
with Governor Wilson in order to learn
at first hand where the Democratic
candidate stands.
Considerable gossip about Mr.. Will
sons views on labor questions has been
instituted since the New Jersey man
was nominated and several contTadic-
/, tory stories are afloat. But at head
quarters of the federation there is a
confident belief that a statement in
dorsing Mr.. Wilson will be Forthcoming 3

TRENTON, N. j., July 9.-For the
first time since his nomination for the
Presidency, Governor Wilson was at his
desk at the statehouse today, and for
the first time In its history New Jersey
had a Presidential candidate at the
governors desk. 1t was about 10:45
o'clock when Governor Wilson and his
secretary. Joseph P. Tumulty, arrived
at the statehouse from Seagirt. The
chief business of the day Is a conference
with Samuel Gompers and other labor
leaders.
The trip was made by automobile,
and Mr. Tumuity suffered severely from
the heat, while Governor Wilson
seemed, as always. at perfect ease. and
was not in the least discomfort by the
heat.
The governor was a happy man
when he reached his inner office and
he showed 1t. He shook hands with
the office attaches resent and imn~-
diately got down to routine work.

Roosevelt Leader Calls.
The first important caller on the
governor was former Senator Everett
Colby one Of the Roosevelt leaders of
the State. During the conference be-
tween Governor Wilson and Mr.. Colby
rumors were rife that the former SEN
ator bore tidings from the colonel, but
Mr.. Colby soon put quietus on this
story. He said that the only reason
for his visit was to urge the appoint
ment of Theodore d. GOttlteb as judge
of the First district court of Newark
There are about n score of applicants
for this place and Mr.. Colby told the
governor of Mr.. Gottlieb's fitness for
say what he would DO.
Mr.. Colby was asked as to the prob
able effect of the Wilson nomination
on the third parry movement. He
frankly said that the Roosevelt sup
porters favored Clark and considered
Wilson the hardest man in the country
to beat.
The Governor soon got down to rout'

The real interest of the day is cen

Federation of Labor. A number o.
other labor leaders will come to Tren
ton with Mr.. Gompers and they will
probably talk over the platform anc

TAFT WITHDRAWAL
PLAN REPUD|ATED
BY PARTY LEADERS
None Willing to Stand Spon-
sor for Suggestion to
Circulate Petition.

Efforts of Republican leaders today
failed to disclose the source of a re-
port that petitions demanding Presi-
dent Taft's withdrawal as a candidate
are to be circulated In a nationwide
campaign.
Denials of completely In the rumored
movement were vigorously made by Re-
publican Congressman, prominent office
holders, and others high in party coun-
ellis. -.
Here is the scheme, according to the
report:
Circulate petitions in every State ask
ing Taft to withdraw; circulate similar
petitions asking Roosevelt to quit Then
ask the national committee to name a
new compromise harmony" candidate
as the Republican standard bearer, to
present a united front to the Democrats
and save the thousands of Republican
officer holders Jobs.
None to Stand Sponsor.
But no one, OF high or low degree,
stands sponsor for the yarn. Every Re-
publican disclaims personal knowledge
with excitement over the report
Ofhceholders are reported behind the
plan, which Is said to contemplate clrc-
ulation of the withdrawal petitions next
week for a tally of the Republican ref
erendum" before the Roosevelt conven-
ton in Chicago August s. To get the
expression of every Republican in the
country by the signing of or refusal to
sign the petitions, Is another part OF
the rumored plan.
See ISLAM" At Taft.
Friends of President Taft believe the
petitions would be signed principally by
pro-Roosevelt Republicans as hard
slam" at the President upon opening
his campaign. and as a boost for the
third party.
Roosevelt partisans. on the other
hand, and many leaders In States where
Senators, Congressman, and other Of
ficeholders are to be elected this fall,
profess to consider the withdrawal plan
as last desperate device to harmonize
the G. o. p.
But on every side come denials OF
personal knowledge of any such pro-
gram. Nobody confesses parentage OF
the plan, but everybody is anXiously
awaiting developments.

THIRD PARTY WILL
HAVE FULL TICKET
THROUGHOUT SOUTH
Col. Roosevelt Has Hopes
That New York City Will
Give Him Plurality.

OYSTER BAY, July 9.-From state
ments made by Colonel Roosevelt 1t is
evident that the third party will be ac-
/ sive throughout the South and in New
York, Indiana Utah, Vermont, and
Colorado. In other Republican States
the Roosevelt party believes that the
Presidential electors can be pledged to
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes he Is now sure
Of Missouri and that he has a good
| fighting chance in Texas. Louisiana,
North Carolina and Georgia, in addition
to the other Southern States that have
become debatable.

State, but Immediately qualified this
statement by the announcement that in
some districts Democrats will be on the
! ticket.
Has Hopes of New York.
In others the regular Republicans will
be indorsed and in some there will be
q straight ticket. The Roosevelt sup
port for persons upon the State ticket
will be conditioned upon that of Demo-
Gratis or Republicans for the Presiden-
uaT electors.
Colonel Roosevelt says of New York
city: ,....
! 'One of my visitors yesterday was
y w. N. Chadbourne, of the Manhattan
! Republican County Committee. He has
never been publicly Identified with my
cause. He is of the opinion that on the
/ popular vote I will have plurality in
Manhattan. They are all coming over"
He would not venture a prediction as

No Premature Claims.
1t is not probable that any statement
will come from Roosevelt in regard to
Illinois and Pennsylvania for two weeks
| The Roosevelt forces believe that they
can pledge the electors on the Repub-
lfcan ticket. If the electors are not
! pledged for Roosevelt there will be a
third party ticket from top to bottom in
each of these States.

up to see the colonel and assure him of
our support. He has good chance of

gested a drink, but we found that there
was not drop in the house. There Is
no question but the popular vote will be
for Roosevelt. Americans are going to
stand by him."
Mr.. Roosevelt declined to discuss the
call for the third party convention be-
yond saying that he had received some
plaintive kilograms from friends asking
, why their names were not included in
the call. Then he added
almost all of the persons signing the
call were named by the regularly
