BELIEVES 7. R. Will
RUN IF HUGHES WINS
Oyster Bay Expects BT0adside
Against Justice.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 8.-While
Colonel Roosevelt refrains from max
ing any public statement officially dis
closing his real attitude toward the
political situation in Chicago, 1t Is
we'll known to his intimates here that
he is opposed to the nomination OF
Justice Hughes and it is their conf
dent belief that if Justice Hughes Is
nominated Colonel Roosevelt will him
self become candidate.
Colonel Roosevelt, it is well under
stood, is not at all satisfied with Just
ice Hughes so-called flag speech
which he is said to regard as merely
a Fourth of July address having no
value as disclosing the Justices atti-
tude toward the real issues of the day.
In the words of his followers here, the
colonel regards the speech as further
evidence of pussy footing" to which
attitude he is opposed in the present
crisis in the country's affairs.
Colonel Roosevelt, it is known, feels
better in regard to his own chances
of being nominated than at any other
time. His followers look for a broad
side from him within day or two
which they say will be calculated to
eliminate Justice Hughes and any
other candidate whom the colonel re-
CARDS as representing the pussy foot
idea" The colonel feels, they say,
that if the Republicans have made up
their minds to nominate man repre-
senting this idea, the one think left
for him to do is to run himself in or
der to bring before the people the
issue of straightforward American

MOOSE CHEER
7. R. WILDLY
Progressive Convention inTumult
on Mention Of Name.
NO SNAP JUDGMENT, PERKINS
Declares Gathering Will Not Act Has,
tiIy While Possibility of Agreement
With Republican Remains.

Chicago, June S.-With a tumultous
demonstration for Theodore Roosevelt,
lasting one hour and thirty-three min
utes. the Progressive national conven-
ton opened at the Auditorium, while
the Republican national convention
was in progress at the Coliseum.
Wild enthusiasm for Colonel Roose-
welt was precipitated at the first rel
erence made to him by Raymond ROD
ms, of Chicago, the temporary chair
man.
Delegates carrying Roosevelt BAN
ners paraded about the aisles. Many
mounted the platform. Cries of I'VE
want Teddy" rent the air.
During the outburst for Roosevelt
there was still every indication that
the Progressive party leaders had the
convention in control and that no
nomination for the presidency would
be attempted until after conferences,
already begun, with Republican lead
ers, had been consummated.
The convention was called to order
by Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, CHAIR
man of the Progressive national COM
mittee. His appearance on the plat
form, surrounded by George w. Per-
kins, Oscar Strauss, Hiram Johnson,
of California, and other Progressive
leaders, was the signal for a prellml-
nary demonstration which delayed the
opening of the convention for more
than half an hour.
When Mr.. Robins began his address
the convention crowd seemed to be
waiting for signal. 1t got it when
the chairman referred to Roosevelt as
"The worlds foremost citizen" and
the demonstration followed.
Leaders who were appealed to to
try to check the storm of cheering re-
fused. Mr.. Perkins, after an hour OF
the tumult, left the hall for his hotel.
The use of the police to bring the
demonstration to an erd was even for
a time under consideration, ut not at
tempted.
Reports that there might be an in
sistent demand for an immediate nom
nation of Colonel Roosevelt as notice
to the Republicans that they could not
be ignored, were discouraged, and al
most sQuelched, by statement issued
by Mr.. Perkins, who declared that the
Progressives were meeting in a con.
ciliatory spirit and would not act pre-
cipitately, while the possibility of an
agreement with the Republicans re

Supplementing his formal statement
Mr. Perkins declared:
every one should keep it constant
ly in mind that the Progressive con-
vention is not being held here at the
same time as the Republican conven-
ton in the spirit of threat"
The Progressives feel that the first
peace move ought to come from the
Republicans, but Mr.. Perkins thought
it possible that the Progressives would
take the initiative in efforts for peace.

sation lie had with Colonel Roosevelt

selection of Walter Brown, of Ohio,

When Governor Johnson heard of
the movement by the insurgents to
name him for permanent chairman, he
sent word he would not be a party
to discord.

the keynote speech at the Progressive
convention, said just before the con-
eention was called to order that he
and many of the rank and file of the
party will be ready to accept Justice
Hughes on one condition. The con-
dition, he said, was that Hughes de.
clare himself on the question of pre-
paredness and Americanism.
1--WE know how he stands on eco
nomic and social problems" said Mr..
Robins. He meets our views on these
subjects. What we want to kney is
how he stands on Americanism and
preparedness If he will come out
with good strong statement in which
he eliminates the hyphen, for one
