OYSTER BAY, July 10.-Several
conferences have been held during
the past two days between Col.
Roosevelt and leaders of the Pro-
gressive party. Although he has not
yet definitely decided to be candi-
date for governor, the general feel
ing here is that he will be forced
into the fight II the1 Col. should
decline there are many Pfogressfves
who believe tkatF they ; could '9' win
with FORMER Governor William Sui!
Ter as their standard bearer? And
ftfiis the Col. does not favor. He
would like to defeat District Attor-
neyl Whitman, who will likely be
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor. So there are many reasons
why Roosevelt may consent to be
the candidate of his party.
