M'MILLAN APPROVES
 RO0SEVELTS ACTION
New Britain Man Favors Unity and Hughes
 for President.

T believe the action of Theodore Roosevelt in declining the nomination for president by the progressive na- tional convention in Chicago last week of the most patriotic order and to prove conclusively that he is the great American in the real sense of the Word,'' declared Dugald McMll- Ian, who returned to this city yester- day from Chicago where he was an alternate at the convention. MT. Me- Milan admitted that he did not feel that way about it when it was an- nounced at the Auditorium Saturday morning that MT. Roosevelt had de- clined the unanimous nomination Of his party. The western and south western delegates, who had howled all week for Teddy, were especially peeved when the announcement came and many felt that their chief had deserted them at a supreme moment MT. McMillan said he had a good deal of sympathy for their attitude at the moment but on mature reflection he arrived at the conviction that the colonel had done the right thing.
 In the face of the returns from the Coliseum, where Charles E. Hughes
  ity, it was apparent that Roosevelt could not succeed and to oppose the republicans again could only result in another victory for Wilson and the democrats. he believed. It would ap- pear as a case of spite purely, said MT. McAIillan Tn the opinion or the New Britain merchant, the eX-presl- dent showed himself to be possessed of as lofty and high-minded motlVeS as his enthusiastic followers nave always believed him to be endowed when he declined to accept the pro- gressive nomination.
 Mir McMillan believes firmly that the republican and progressives will mite this fall on Charles E: Hughes and a united party will spell victory for the republicans. He declared himself ready to support MT. Hughes and work for a republican victory. MT. McMillan said the Connecticut progressives went to Chicago With the idea of forcing the republicans to nominate Roosevelt and while he had his doubts of the outcome he was not without hope until it became cer- tain that the republicans would stand for Hughes only. The progressives concede him a fair compromise for 
 him neither did the "standpatters.
 Edward H. Prior one of the staunchest progressives in this city, in the halcyon days of that party, today announced to a reporter for the Her aid that he will support Charles Evans Hughes in the struggle that confronts the jurist in his efforts to oust from the White House, Presi- Woo1rovy Wilson. MT. Prior however, forecasts that it will be. a fight to the bitter end if the G. O. P. is to force democracy to give up the reins of government.
 During the discussion over the re- cent convention and the announce ment of T. R. of his declination to accept the nomination of the Bull Moose for president MT. Prior stated that in his belief, many of the mem bers of that party will vote for Presi- dent Wilson.
