 AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO, June
 1O-ColoneI Roosevelt was nomi-
 mated today by the Progressive na-
 tionaI convention after four days
 of uproar and turnult in which
 the delegates never wavered in.
 allegiance or cast passing
 glance upon another man.
 Three minutes before the con-
 vention adjourned until another
 time. Chairmon Raymond Robins
 read to them a brief message from
 Oyster Bay in which MT. Roose
 welt declined to accept the non1i
 nation at this time. Few of the
 thousan6s in the vast Auditorium,
 some of whom had seen the Colo
 mel named in an even wilder burst
 of enthusiasm four years ago
 realized when Robins rapped his
 cavel at 5:48 and declared the
 convention adjourned sine die that
 in few hours or few weeks
 they might be party without the
 one leader to whom they had
 come to Chicago to give the pledge
 of loyalty and faith.
 The significance of Colonel Roose velt's message with its announcement that if the Progressive national com mittee found the subsequent statement of Charles Evans Hughes the Repub lican standard bearer, to its liking his non-acceptance of the Progressive nomination should stand. his last word, was lost in that tired throng worn out by its own enthusiasm, by long delays over peace parleys with the Republicans and by the discus sion of a platform on which it must go into the field. if at all against hoth the forces of Democracy and Republicanism.
 None of the feeling that they had them later betrayed. when they had opportunity to digest the Colonel's statement had time to flare out when the gavel fell. They trooped out into Chicagos streets for home while the band played faintly and the flags that had Haunted so proudly through all the so stormy sessions were folded and the banners put away.
 Before they left the hall the dele gates remembered one of the essen tials of a campaign. In response to the spur of the leaders they promised more than SS0.000 to carry on the fight. It was pledged in enthusiasm and the contributions tumbled in al most as fast as they could be re corded.
 The only protest of the day came g few minutes before the leaders read the announcement from Colonel Roos- evelt when William Flynn of Pittsburs proposed the adoption of a rule which permits the national committee to fill the vacancies on the ticket. There was a chorus of noes" from the hal but it was lost in the explanations oi those who stood upon the platform that this was but a perfunctory thing done at all national conventions tC provide for death or other casual ties" It was adopted then imme diately.
 The communication from Oyster Bay, known to all leaders for at least an hour before it was presented was read 10 the convention in a moment oi tense dramatic silence. The gave fell with last bank, almost as it was finished.
