Slight Hope Held For Agree ment, However. Bull Moose Admit They Play Clever Political Game
(By Review Leased Wire,

AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO, June s. Theodore Roosevelt will be nominat- ed for president by the Progressive national convention tomorrow unless there is some political miracle-an agreement between its conferees and those from the Republican organiza- tion, or direct. emphatic word from MT. Roosevelt himself that the Pro- accepted.
 Four hours today the leaders of ths convention staved off a nomination that they knew and every delegate in the hall knew was crowding forward with the hours themselves and could no more be stopped than an avalanche if once the convention was assured that the last hope of peace with the Republicans was gone and MT. Roose- velt's nomination at the Coliseum could not be accomplished.
 After three sessions that ran through the gamut of emotions from hysteria- for MT. Roosevelt to 8 calm dispassionate discussion of blanks in the platform the convention adjourn ed at 9:5S D. m. tonight until 10:30 q. m. tomorrow.
 All day the delegates kept on guard while the leaders watchced or listened over the telephones to detect any un expected move on the part of the Re- publicans. As the ballots were taken n the Coliseum they waited and lis tened and kept their tempers. They were told they must keep the faith"
 o11 l.- the Republicans according to the agreement between the peace con ferees and approved by Colonel Roose- welt himself The approval of the Colonel was a trump card held up tie sleeves of the leaders but never play cd. for when the Coliseum quit for the night the delegates tired out with long sitting in the hot sticky theatre were willing to wait for a nomination.
 ''Twenty-four hours more wont make any difference" said Governor Hiram Johnson. The crowd agreed and accepted the motion to adjourn.
 There was little routine business during the day. The platform was tentatively agreed upon with only a few changes.
 Demands for immediate nomination of Colonel Roosevelt came from the Maine delegation seated on the stage and were quickly picked up by others in the Auditorium.
 The demands. however, seemed to be made in good humor.
 When we're ready. we'll take Ted dy." was a retort shouted in unison by the Ohio delegation.
 Delegate Merle D. Vincent, of Colo rado spoke during the day and insist ed that the regular order of business be proceeded with. He praised Geo. w. Perkins, bitterly assailed, "the Reed Shoots and Murry Cranes" who he said had more experience but less principle in political convention1 "The Republican leaders know we have pat hand" he said. "and they're trying to make us lay down. by rais- ing the ante" The crowd laughed at his poker-political simile and he was forced to mount the stage
 MT Vincent said the delegates would defer to Governor Johnson's re- quest to further postpone Colonel Roosevelt's nomination.
 And then" he said, we will pro ceed to execute the commission for which We came here"
 Henry Allen said he also agreed with Governor Johnson's wishes, and did so without regret.
 MT Allen announced that Governor rumbaugh of Pennsylvania had just withdrawn in favor of Colonel Roose- welt at the Coliseum another gale of cheers swept the Auditorium.
 Wm. Flynn of Pennsylvania praised George w. Perkins and said he also had something in his system" he was not going to let out. You needn't have, for one moment. any apprehen- sion that this bunch down at the Co liseum is going to put it over on us" he said. You take it from me, we're playing the game right
 We know we may have to go to the bat with third party ticket and we want to go in good shape.
 They accuse me of having some tine been a boss. I don't know about that. may have done it inadver- tently"
