ROOSEVELT APPROVES
 H|NMAN'S REJECTION
Colonel Agrees Progressives Must
 Have Straight PaTly Ticket.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 22.-The bull moose committee of twenty -one after turning down Harvey D. Hinman in New York city yesterday came down here to get Col. Roosevelt's ap- proval. They got it.
 The members of the progressive steering committee agreed on a. straight progressive ticket in the state as far as possible and at least for the head of the ticket. Col. Roosevelt agreed with them on that, and said with his old time fighting spirit that he would carry the battle from one end of the state to the other.
 Theodore Douglas Robinson, state chairman, and William H. Hotchkiss accompanied the members of the committee to Oyster Bay. They left New York on the yacht of William H. Childs, the committees chairman, and after running into City Island during the storm got here in time to see a rainbow over Sagamore Hill. This was pointed out to Col. Roose- welt as a good omen.
 Straight Party Ticket. we came to consult with the colonel in regard to our action in New York today" said MT. Childs after the conference on the coloners porch. "The colonel agrees with us on a straight party ticket. We knew before we started down that he wouldn't run for governor himself. There will be another statement is- sued from progressive headquarters in the morning." Col Roosevelt then said:
 Whatever action these gentlemen take I stand ready to back up. I will back the progressive ticket and will fight for it from one end of the state to the other. The republican con- vention at Saratoga showed that the progressive ticket is the only one for which decent citizens can honestly vote. am getting better all the time. I never felt better in my life"
 Not a Candidate.
 As soon as the Colonel heard that the committee was coming to see him he sent them a message that under no consideration would he be a can didate himself. MT. Childs said that the committee hadn't decided on a candidate for governor, yet the names of Chauncey J. Hamlin of Buffalo, MT. HOtChKlSS and eX-SIare senator Fred- erick M. Davenport who was also in the party that waited on the Colonel today. have been put forward by in 1 dividual members of the committee ) of twenty-one.
 The progressive leaders appeared to l be well pleased with themselves. l They believe that Harvey D. Hinman's | chances of ever being governor are | dead and buried and that the Bing- 1 hamton mans failure to show fight l at Saratoga sounded his political 1 death knell.
 Leaders Unanimous.
 The progressive party steering com- mittee, made up of twenty-one lead CTS, formally rejected Harvey D. Hin man as candidate for governor yes terday and sent committee down to Oyster Bay to tell Col Roosevelt their sentiments and if possible get him to head the state ticket this fall. They are practically unanimous for an out and out Progressive for governor and they want the rest of the ticket "sub- progressive all the way down.
 All but five of the twenty-one mem bers of the committee were present
