HOTCHKISS BALKS:
PERKINS DROPS HIM
Republican Old Guard, Uneasy,
Try Hard to Win Barnes
to Hughes.


York City delegation will go to Chi
cago under written pledges 10 supper;
Colonel Roosevelt for the Presidential
nomination. Il is understood that prac
tically all the upstate delegates arc
also pledged, and the state delegation
will probably 90 as a unit for the
Colonel.
George ". Perkins, chairman of the
executive committee Of the national
committee, and John J. O'Connell, New
York County chairman, have made
every effort to pledge every delegate to
Colonel Roosevelt. Mr.. O'Connell in
sisted that every member of the New
York County delegation should pledge
himself in writing. William II. Hotch-
kiss, former state chairman; William
NJ. Chadbourne, Of Brooklyn, and Will
lam L. Ransom, Of this city, baked at
taking the pledge.
Perkins Wants All Pledged
Mr.. Perkins gave little dinner 10
which Hotchkiss, Chadbourne, Ransom
and O'Connell were invited. Mr.. Per-
kins and Mr.. O'Connell gave the recall
citrant delegates heart to heart talk.
Chadbourne and Ransom came round 20
their way Of thinking, and each wrote
letter to Mr.. O'Connell pledging his
support 70 the Colonel. Hotchkiss held
out, and therefore does not appear on
the list Of delegates. He may go from
some district outside Of Manhattan.
Delegates in the cath Congressional
District, most Of which is in West
chester County, were not named. Mr..
Hotchkiss may be designated from that
district later.
Mr.. Perkins and other national lead
ers have been working hard to obtain
delegates pledged to Mr. Roosevelt
from all the states. 1t is understood
that their efforts have succeeded in a
large measure. The Progressive lead
ers are determined to trot out the
Colonel at Chicago as their standard
bearer for the apparent purpose of
bringing pressure 20 bear on the Re-
publicans 10 adopt him as the Repubii-
can candidate. If this plan should not
succeed il is expected that most of the
Bull Moose delegates will switch 10
Justice Hughes.
The Republican Old Guard saw
strong bid for the nomination in Colo
mel Roosevelt's recent statement from
the West Indies. There have been some
hurried conferences during the last
few days. William Barnes is opposed
to both Roosevelt and Hughes. Some
OF the other old line men have been
exerting themselves to convert Mr..
Barnes to the Hughes candidacy with
the idea of lining up the Old Guard as
wind shield against any possible
Rooseveltian cyclone at Chicago.
Barnes Still for Root.
At last accounts Mr.. Barnes had no.
been converted. He is inclined to side
with Senator James ". Wadsworth and
State Senator Elon X. Brown, the two
members Of the Big -Four" who havs
declared themselves for ex-senator
Elihu Root. II Barnes remains obdu-
rate it may be that some Of his Old
Guard friends viii advise a spanking
and literal relegation to the side
lines at Chicago.
The matter Of withdrawing Colonel
ROosevelts name from the Illinois
primaries as the Republican candidate
was finally settled yesterday. John ".
| McGrath, the Colonels secretary, re
ceived a telegram from Lewis G.. Ste
venson, Illinois Secretary of State, in
forming him that the Colonel's name
would be withdrawn. Mr.. McGrsth
telegraphed many thanks"
