Perkins, one of Roosevelts most staunch supporters. is now being severely criticised by his Bull MoOsp brothers for not sticking by Roose- yelt's proposal of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, for compromise candidate MT. Perkins was one of the Progressive conferees who agreed on Hughes as compro- mise And because Roosevelt's com promise was flatly rejected by the Republican COnferees. making Hughes nomination necessary in the inter est of harmony in the Republican ranks, the Bull Moose crowd is downcast. The Moose also feel the nomination of Hughes keenly be cause of Roosevelt's dislike for mol lycoddle rule and they think that he will make his withdrawal from politics permanent In other words, some of the crowd accuse Perkins of being the means of the downfall of Roosevelt, their idol

CHICAGO, June 11.-That the Progressive party is not yet out of the ring is demonstrated by the at titude of the Progressive convention in arranging for campaign eXpendi- lures and in keeping it's national or ganiZation in a state of perfection. 1t is considered here that the refusal of Col Roosevelt to be the nominee
 of the party to the presidency is but tentative, and the fact that it was not officially accepted by the convention leads to the belief that the Progressive leaders plan to die tate some of the policies of the
 Republicans. It is understood that a committee has been appointed to confer with a committee of Republi- cans as to the policies of Hughes, and if the policies do not meet with the approval of Col. Roosevelt and his supporters it is barely pos sible that the Progressives may yet have him as their candidate The
 committee is to report on June 9,

1 they passed from the Auditorium. i gressiyes.
 They drifted from the hall in ! silence, compared with the noise
 which was made when the conven- tion opened. Some of the bands played faintly. Others played not
 at all And the standard bearers | from the various states all had
 their banners furled
 | Col RoOseVelt's message of dec | lination was read by Chairman Robina
 at exactly 4:55 o'clock. The con
 vention, however, had previously been informed of his refusa one report having been received short
 ly before the midday adjournment
 Nothing was known definitely con
 corning the refusal, however, until
 after the note from Roosevelt to the convention was read.
 i When the report of the refusal to
 be the Progressive nominee was
 first spread about the hall, shortly after noon, some of the delegates were inclined to oppose the decree of their leader and to make fur ther demands upon him. And a
 storm of protest from the Roosevelt supporters in the convention was
 aroused when William Flynn, a dele
 gate from Pittsburg, proposed the ! adoption of a rule permitting the
 national committee to name candl- dates for the vacancies on the tick
 ct sometime before the campaign
 season opens.
 His proposal met with an almost unanimous nay" from all parts of
 the big hall And following the ex- planation that according to estab , lshed precedent, the national con-
 mittee could not name nominees for vacancies except in case of death, the established precedent was adopted by the convention. There fore the Progressives will have no other presidential ticket in the field at the national election than Roose- welt and Parker, and both have de
 clined to become nominees. After resolutions had been passed
 thanking the officers of the conven- tion for their work, Chairman Robins called for contributions to defray campaign and other expenses, en- couraging the pledges to come as
 rapidly as possible Eighty thou sand dollars was pledged within a very few moments, and most of it is now available.
 The protest of some of the dele
 gates against the action of Roose
 welt caused the only excitement of the afternoon. The session Is there

 elected chairman and Davis secre- tary of the Progressive National committee.

OTHER NAM ES SUGGESTED.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The talk to- day at Progressive headquarters is chiefly concerning Roosevelt's re fusal to accept the nomination Most of the Progressives are bitterly op posed to Hughes, some of them even going as far as to suggest that a nominee other than Roosevelt be put up The names of Victor Mur- dock and Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, are among those prom inently mentioned

TRIBUNE LkUDS JUSTICE HUGHES.

CHICAGO, June 1l.-The Chicago Tribune, which has always been Rooseveltian in it's tendencies Is loud in it's praise of the action Of Col Roosevelt in refusing the Bull Moose nomination in it's editorial columns this morning It is also laudatory of Hughes, claiming that he is an inspiring candidate, and predicting that his campaign for the presidency will be successful.
 It also says. however, that if Roosevelt decides to try to "come back" not taking his reported re fusal as final, he may defeat Hughes. By which move" it goes on to say, "he will give us Wilson; a poisoned gift straight from his hands to the nation"
 And it further says:
 If the Republicans had made an unfit nomination. the Progressives could properly reject it, but there is surely no person so perverse as to regard Hughes nomination as unworthy There may be the most intense conviction that the Progress sive party had slated the greatest man. but that does not condemn the character of the man selected by the Republicans.
 "The nomination of Roosevelt is clearly impossible now All that the Progressives and Roosevelt can possibly do, if they still see fit to nominate him, is to give Wilson another term, and the Hughes let ter of acceptance should make that impossible"
