Republicans, Representing 80.
States, Open Headquarters
In New York and Will
Rush Their Work.
WILL VISIT OYSTER BAY
Colonel Will Be Interviewed
Former Secretary of Navy at
Head of Group-Plan to
Stampede Convention.

New York, May GA movement
that has the earmarks of an effort to
stampede the republican national con-
vention for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
is under way.
a group of republicans. largely Taft
men in 1912, representing 80 states,
have organized a Roosevelt republic
can committee" with headquarters for
the present at the Biltrnore hotel, and
with George Won l.. Meyer, secretary
of the navy under presidents Taft and
Roosevelt at the head.
The ommitt made known it's ex-
istence yesterday. Today a dozen or
more of it's members will call upon the
colonel at Oyster Bay to ask him what
he has to say.
The committee has gathered together
with lightning like rapidity in the last
four days. The republicans who form
Its membership realize that they are
just a tri1e late in getting started, but
so encouraged are they by SheaveS Of
kilograms that have poured into the
committees suite that they expect to
have enough delegates n up for
the colonel at Chicago to drive things
his way.
A Republican Move.
Robert c. Morris, vice president of
the Union League club and former re-
publican county chairman, who spoke
for the committee yesterday in the
temporary absence of Mr.. Meyer, en-
pllasized the fact that the movement is
strictly one within the republican
party.
A nation wide woman suffrage
movement for the nomination and cleo
ton of Theodore Roosevelt for spresi-
dent, will be started at the Hotel Man
hatten by a meeting of the Roosevelt
women Tuesday at IL o'clock.
Miss Harriet Vittum, of Chicago, of
the Northwestern university settle
ment will submit a plan of ~organiza-
ton and will outline a project for a

TO HAVE
CHICAGO OFFICE
Refuses to Comment on Report
That He Expects Roosevelt
to Be Nominee - Main
tains Usual Silence.

Washington, D. c.. May 23.--Justice
Hughes has nothing to say. He does
not wish to notice irresponsible rumors
and neither admits nor denies them.
He has had no communication what
ever with Mr.. Hitchcock. This was the
statement made this morning by the
secretary to Justice Hughes with ref
erence to a report widely published to-
day quoting the justice as saying to
an unnamed republican leader that he
expected Roosevelt to be the republic
can nominee and hence it was not nee
essary to discuss anyone else.
The view Of republican politicians
here today is that the words attributed
to Justice Hughes, even if they are
correct, do not essentially change the
situation. Justice Hughes has said
nothing and has done nothing to elimi.
nate himself from the possibility of
nomination at Chicago. His support
ers continue to be active for him.
Frank Fl. Hitchcock, who has been
here for a few days, has gone to Chi
cago to open Hughes headquarters and
will continue to organize with a pur-
pose to forcing Hughes nomination.
Hughes supporters are spreading
rumors which have nc foundation so
far as known here, that Cummins and
one or more other candidates will
withdraw in Hughes favor.

In OREGON PRIMARY
Returns of 60 Per Cent of Vote
Shows He Has a Plurality
of $1,000.

Portland, Ore, May 22.-With so per
cent of the votes cast in last Fridays
statewide primary election counted,
and with all but our Of the 35 coun-
ties heard from. it became apparent to-
day that of the nearly 100, 900 republi-
can votes cast Charles E. Hughes re-
ceived a clear majority of all other
presidential candidates Of approxi-
mateIy $1,000.
His plurality over Senator Albert
Il. Cummins will be approximately
$4,000, while Senator Cummins has re-
ceived more than twice as many votes
as former Senate Theodore p. Burton,
of Ohio.
The vote received by Colonel Roose-
welt for the republican nomination vas
only negligible, although on the pro-
gressive ballot he received the vote OF
that party as it's nominee.

to have voted unanimously for Presi-
dent Wilson. Vice president Marshall
was an easy victor over Governor Ell

New York. May 23.-Four ~alienists
headed the throng of witnesses gath
cred in the criminal branch of the su-
preme court today for trial of DR.. Ar
thur Warren Waite. Waite, the young
dentist, sportsman and man about
town is charged with murder in the
first degree in poisoning his fatherin-
law, John E. Peck. a wealthy manufac-
turer, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Since he
has confessed the murder the prosecu-
ton believes hat the defense will rely
upon a plea of insanity. To combat
his testimony the state has engaged
three medical experts n summoned
us witnesses.
Probably the most interesting figures
at the trial however, next to the prison
er himself, will be his wife, Mrs. Clark
Peck Waite, and Mrs. Margaret Hort
on, a New York young singer with
whom Waite occupied at times a stu
dio" at an uptown hotel.

Des Moines, Ia, May Ex-senator A.
B. Cummins dropped off in Des
Moines today enroute from Oregon to
Washington. The Hughes victory in
Oregon was ascribed by Senator Cum
min to superior organization work
launched early in the game. Senator
Cummins said that the newest army
bill, providing for I'll geo men, is all
right, although he avore the bill for
100000 men in the Senate. Senator
Cummins is in good health, but his
