ELEPHANT IS CHILLY
TO FLIRTING MOOSE
This Is a Republican Year: Why
Should We Fuse? Ask
Party Leaders.

Republican leaders made no effort yes
terday to conceal their amusement at the
situation disclosed In the news from
Oyster Bay that Col. Roosevelt was
willing to have his party swap indorse-
ments with the Republicans in the State
campaign, provided the Republican, candi-
dates believe as the Colonel does
Furthermore. half a dozen Of them said
that all talk OF dickering with the Pro-
gressives was vain, as the Republican
party intended to keep serenely on It's
way and nominate "a straight Republican
ticket without regard to the wishes OF the
Bull Moose.
II became known yesterday that several
well known Progressives have told Re-
publican friends In the last few days that
II Col. Roosevelt declined TO run for Gov
ernor they would vote the Republican
ticket this fall, III you'll only put up
men whom We can conscientiously ac-
cept."
These Progresslves-so their coniidants
In the old party say-intimated that they
were tired OF being out In the cold and
saw no reason for staying out II the
Colonel wouldn't lead them In sub
stance the reply of the Republicans was
this:
I'VE are confident that this Is a Repub-
lican year. We expect to carry the state.
even II the Colonel runs. and surely Will
IL he doesn't. Your admission that you
have no chance without the Colonel Is a
declaration OF bankruptcy. Your enroll
ment in the State Is only 111,0O0. We
should be pleased to have you retoln us,
brethren, and in the nature or things we
shall inevitably nominate lot or pro-
gressive Republicans for State offices. But
why should We be asked to nominate
members OF your party when we are plen-
tifully supplied with strong Republicans
and can elect them without the Progress
sive Vote?"
The progressves expect to be able &c
read their title more clearly than they
do now after n State conference to be held
on June 81. probably In an upstate city.
BY that time Col. Roosevelt will have re-
turned from Spain and his position ir
this years politics will he better defined
than 1t IL now. Indications are that this
conference will make no attempt "a

though 1t may go so far as to draw up q

ROBINSON ADMITS POH'IVOW.
Progressive Chairman Says Oyster
Bay Conference Talked Fusion.

OYSTER BAY, l.. J.. May 29.-There
was great commotion among some of the
Progressive leaders here to-day when they
awoke to the realization that their hope
Of swapping nominations with the Re
publicans had become known ahead OF
schedule
Theodore Douglas Robinson. the Pro-
gressive State chairman, dashed up to the
Progressive State headquarters in New
York and called about him the men who
last night conferred with Col. Roosevelt
about the fusion scheme. These men,
w. Bird, the New York county chairman
Frederick NJ. Davenport. Chauncey j.
Hamlin, Judge William l.. Ransom and
Mr.. Robinson himself.
A little later a typewriter statement
was issued In the city by Mr.. Robinson,
which was in effect a denial that the
gentlemen Just named had suggested such
plan as Endorsement or fusion to Col.
Roosevelt
Then Mr.. Robinson and his conferees
came back TO Oyster Bay to talk the mat
ter over with Col Roosevelt. They brought
with them in addition to last nights del
egation Alexander =. Moore OF Pittsburg
and George W. Perkins. After their talk
with Col. Roosevelt they sailed forth and
met a party OF reporters.

count of the almost prohibitive royalty

well known infringing types. This flight

who did most OF the construction work on

Attorney for Glenn Curtiss
Thinks Case Might Be
Renewed.

The successful fight OF ''Langley's folly"
by Glenn II. Curtiss at Hammondsport
Thursday may result In reopening the
aeroplane patent suit In which a sweeping
decision was recently granted 20 the
Wright company unfolding the flying ma
chine patents issued to Orville and Wilbur
Wright. Aviation experts are pretty well
agreed that the Langley machine, built
before the first aeroplane was turned out
by the Wright brothers, does not infringe
the Wright patents.
Other aeroplanes built along this line
would be mountaineering and II the flight
OF Langley's "aerodrome" does nothing
more, In the opinion of aeroplane build
ers, 1t will encourage experimenters to
build non-infringing types

Curtiss interests In the patent litigation.

might be reopened. A motion could be
made to reopen the case on the ground OF
newly discovered evidence. he said. and

to grant the motion or not.
