ROOSEVELT TAXES
 PERSONAL CHARGE
 OF MOOSE MEETING
Still Confident That Hughes Has Shot His Bolt in Reg ular Convention -E Ex-
 poets to Be Nominated

Oyster Bay June 1O.-Immediately Fffter the adjournment of the cepubli- can convention tonight, Colonel Roose- welt assumed personal direction of the progressive convention through his lieutenants over the long distance telephone. He expected to be up most of the night making plans for to- morrow.
 Colonel Roosevelt was kept in close touch with the balloting in Chicago by progressive leaders. over the telephone and by the newspaper correspondents at Oyster Bay. He appeared well pleased with the result of the second enough delegates to win the nomina- ton.
 Colonel Roosevelt feels that Hughes further strength on succeeding ballots, and he seemd to attach significanc to the fact that 1t was Senator Penrose who moved for an adjournment.
 It is the belief of Colonel Roosevelt that the maximum of Hughes, strength was reached on the second ballot, and that his own chances of getting the nomination were thereby increased.
 Colonel Roosevelt still refused to- night to indicate his attitude in regard to the nomination of a separate ticket by the progressives It is the general opinion at Oyster Bay tonight, how ever, that unless the republicans "show a spirit of accommodation, the pro- gressives undoubtedly will place a third ticket in the field

GERARD DENIES HE
 GAVE OUT INTERVIEW
American Ambassador Says Quotation of Him Was
 Unauthorized

Berlin, June 9.-CBy wireless. )-The
 rard, has repudiated an interview re-
 gently attributed to him on the subject
 of President Wilson's peace efforts, the
 Overseas News agency says. The am-
 bassador is also quoted as asserting
 that Count Friedrich von Westarp, con
 servative leader in the Reichstag, de-
 sired Mr. Gerard to have a spurious in-
 terview published sometime ago, but
 that the ambassador declined.
 | According to a statement given out 1 by the news agency today manuscript containing a copy of the spurious i'm terview was submitted to MT. Gerard with the idea that it was to have been published in the National Zeitung, but the ambassador refused to sanction it.. ! The statement follows:
 Ambassador Gerard stated to staff
 member of the Vossische zeitung that | he never made the utterances in re- gard to President Wilson's proposed peace mediation attributed to him and quoted in the Reichstag. The conser- vative leader, Count Von Westarp, said that MT. Gerard had announced Presi- dent Wilson's intention to mediate for peace and for this purpose to exert pressure on the belligerents, which he Count Won Westarp) was unwilling to
 agree to.
 MT. Gerard now states that Count
 Won Westarp had declared that he have Ia spurious interview published some
 time ago by the National Zeitung. At
 that time MT Gerard told staff mem
 Der of the National Zeitung that he was
 unable to give him any information.
 On seeing the manuscript MT. Gerard declared that it was untrue and there
 fore withheld the manuscript. MT Gerard makes formal denial of
 the spurious interview"

 Achtuhr Abendblatt and quoted in the Reichstag by Count Won Westarp. The fact is, according to the Vossische Zeitung, that MT. Gerard received the editor of the National Zeitung, to whom he said that the visit to the United States of Joseph c. Grew, secretary of the American embassy at Berlin, was purely for private purposes. The ann bassador declined to reply to other questions. Later the editor of the Ma l, tional Zeitung returned, the Vossische Zeitung says, with a manuscript con- taining utterances attributed to the ann bassador Mir. Gerard is said to have torn up the paper in the presence of John B. Jackson, a member of the em- bassy staff.

 speeches were interrupted. William Potter of Pennsylvania, former
 ambassador to Italy, and Henry A. Whit aker of Maryland had spoken for the
 colonel when the Roosevelt speeches were

 The secondng speeches were then closed without hearing the Roosevelt 10 and the ballotting began at 7:45 p. m When the result of the first ballot was announced, giving no candidate ma jority, Governor Brumbaugh withdrew his candidacy. He said: T wish to thank my friends and to withdraw my name from this contest and to ask why, if we have drawn a plat form as fine as we have, we do not nomi- nate candidate that fits the platform, a man who in character and in courage and in capacity will make this country loved at home and revered abroad. Why not nominate Theodore Roosevelt?"

, he will never be "a President of the United States
 SOFT OF SPEECH" Harding's mistake consisted in the fact that he submitted his effort to the cen sorship of those desiring harmony and victory.
 As result of that censorship, his address was one of platitudes and un- convincing rhetoric If the most offen- sive thought therein had been magnified to the hundredth degree. it could not have offended even as sensitive man as Woodrow Wilson.
 The republicans wanted action. They wanted something to fight about. They wanted their opponents and their tra- heart of stone.
 AND HARDING PASSES
 They desired to hear the hiss of the serpent's tongue and that which fell upon their ears was the spring song of the mocking bird
 Thus passes another American citizen, 'big enough to be President"
 Thus moves from the stage another who failed to measure up to the require ments of the sublime opportunity"
 Bryan says Harding, as result of the circumstances, which demanded peace Dreachment in moment when war talk was desired, had an impossible task.
 But Cicero, under the circumstances would have said what pleased Cicero, not Cataline.

The opportunity was then hammering at his door. He recognized the possibilities of the moment. He prepared. Every phase of the situation was carefully studied and mastered. For every disap- pointment of the past, he pictured a glorious rainbow of the future. For every chronic ailment, he prescribed a pleasant physic.
 But-he could not touch the heart the mind the soul, the conscience. His pIatitudes pleased but did not contain the vital spark-the punch for which every man hoped.
 AND BRYAN SMILED
 The world has been turned topsy-turvy by a bit of oratory.
 But Harding lacked the artistry of Mark Anthony His was not the fire of melody of Ingersoll. His force, his strength, his daring, his punch fell short of that of Patrick Henry and Will liam Jennings Bryan
 And thus he failed in a moment when more fortunate man would have crowned himself king. And Bryan, seated near the orator, recalled the one glorious moment of his lfe-and smiled sardonically

Harding Subnitted His Keynote Speech to Censorship of the Old
 Guard and Lost His Opportunity

Chicago, June 9.-CSpecial9 9--Harding showed his keynote" address to the re- publican bosses and they cut out the life"

 This is perhaps the tragedy of the con- vention. It is the story of the fleeting opportunity of lifetime lost.
 The speech fell flat. And the Ohio senator, once the dark horse" of the convention, is again a high private in the ranks
 THE BIG OPPORTUNITY
 There is no doubt but that Warren G. Harding was the man of the hour.
 The ''old guard unwilling to clasp to its own cold bosom the Hey" Hughes; determined to rebuke the passionate Roosevelt for his conduct in 1912, and fully aware that it could not put over the indifferent Root, nurtured the Ohio statesman.
 And the public, aware of the Chaotic situation-lilSened unto a powder mill awaiting to spark of ignition-dreamed that Harding, pressed of the opportunity to deliver masterful phillipic would so inflame the convention heart so touch the convention conscience, that. the great expectant body would respond to a mas ter's voice.
