With the understanding that they
should report their conventions and
await the result of tomorrow's ballot.
the conference adjourned until after to-
morrow's session of both conventions.
1t was hoped that the delegates to
both the Republican and Progressive
conventions would use the opportunity
to discuss the situation fully among
themselves and if no definite action was
taken on either side in the meantime,
the committee tomorrow afternoon
would be in far better position to un-
derstand and give expression to the real
sentiments of the two conventions.
The Republican combination said that
during the meeting they were distinctly
encouraged by the evident desire of the
Progressives for harmony At no time.
1t was said, was there a concerted or in
sistent demonstration from the Progress
sives that the Republicans accept Col.
Roosevelt.
Reports Identical
Senator Smoot, Republican, said tho
conference was an open, free and friendly
discussion. He added that the reports to
the conventions would be Identical. While
Senator Borah and Mr.. Crane said the
conferences would probably reconvene to-
morrow afternoon, other members Of the
conference said they were by no means
sure that there would be another meet
ing George W. Perkins, chairman of the
Progressive committee, confirmed this
view and added that none of the combi-
nation was quite free to talk.
The conference was held at tho
Chicago Club, to which the Republic
can conferees preceded the Progress
slves. George W. Perkins. Gov. john
son. Horace Wilkinson and other Pro-
gressive leaders conferred at Mr. Per-
kins' headquarters, where the long
distance wire to Oyster Bay is located.
until almost 10 o'clock and then left
for the club. Prior to the calling of
the meeting on an upper floor of the
club. the conferees posed for photo
graphs.
When the conference adjourned
Senator Borah and Gov johnson came
down in the, elevator together chat
