All Indications Point to Speedy
Peace Between Heads Of
Two Parties.
PERKINS is OPTIMISTIC
Says Farley Is Progressing Sat-
isfactorily After Seeing COL
oneI Roosevelt.

NEW YORK. June 1s.--Ali indications
point to speedy peace between the
Bull Moose leaders and the q. o. p.
George w. Perkins. spokesman for
Colonel Roosevelt in the recent Bull
Moose convention. said "the general ef-
forts made for some time past looking
toward a getting together Of both parties
for the common cause are progressing
satisfactorily"
This statement followed a conference
with the Colonel. after the latter had
seen Governor Johnson. OF California
and Raymond Robbins, OF Illinois, chair
man of the Progressive convention.
Mr.. Perkins had a talk with Governor
Whitman as the representative OF Mr.,
Hughes. It is expected that the, Repub-
iican candidate and Mr.. Roosevelt will
that the Colonel will do all he can to
bring the rank and file Of the Bull
Moose party back to the Republican
fold.
Disintegration Seen.
Meanwhile the Progressive headquart-
ers In this city give every indication of
disintegration. Office -paraphenalia Is
heaped high on desks and tables as
though ready to be carted away.
John w. McGrath. Roosevelts secre-
tary, was there with Mr.. Perkins for
several hours.
Politicians are waiting for the
Colonels statement in support Of Mr..
Hughes candidacy which will, be made
at the meeting Of the Progressive ma
tional committee week from tomor-
row.
The anticipated announcement in sup
port OF Hughes probably will antedate
the notification speech or the kepub-
Ican nominee.
What the rank and file of the Pro-
gressives Will do Is not at all certain.
The New York Progressives want the
national committee to leave the Presi-
Dental choice to their own discretion
as between Hughes and Wilson II nc
substitution is made on the Progressive
ticket for Colonel Roosevelt.
Want Colonel's Endorsement.
Leaders of both Republican and Pro-
gressive parties have sought to con-
vince Colonel Roosevelt that he would
be satisfied with the stand Of Mr.
Hughes on Americanism. and they want
the Colonel to deliver his indorsemen,
within the next few days in order Ia
check the drifting OF the leaderlest
Progressives.. ....- '.-...
Many Progressives who are now
hesitating between Hughes and Wilson
or are cherishing the vision OF main.
tanning a third party In the fight with
a new candidate could be saved for the
Republican party now by q strong
declaration from Colonel Roosevelt. &C
cording to those who are working fol
harmony between Republicans and Pro-
gressives. . ........... ....
