first words were met with cries of

down to listen.
After three sentences Chairman Rob

Roosevelt and all the delegates and
spectators sprang to their feet, wildly
cheering.
The characterization of Roosevelt as
1.-THE foremost citizen Of the world, -
was the phrase that got the crowd.

SERIOUS TALK OF NAMING
SPECIAL HARMONY COMMITTEE
Whose Duty Shall Be to Bring About Agreement
Between Republicans and Bull Moose State
ment from Oyster Bay Indicates That Roosevelt
is Opposed to Hughes

CHICAGO, June 7. The Republi-
can and Progressive national conven-
tions, the first at the Coliseum aud
second at the Auditorium. opened here
today an hour apart with growing
hopes of harmony and the possibility
that this week may see the end of the
bitter Republican feud born in this city
four years ago.
This morning there was considerable
talk among the Republican and Pro
gressive leaders of peace plans, al
though it was said nothing definite had
been decided upon. Both sides seemed
desirous of bringing about harmony if
possible. The plan is said to have both
conventions appoint a harmony con
ference committee as soon as practica-
BILE. 1t was pointed out this plan would
be more satisfactory than having ne
gotiations continued as they have been
thus far without definite authority
from delegates.
The appointment Of such commit
tee, il was pointed out, would be mere
ly conforming to the amity proposition
made by the Progressive national com
mittee last winter.
A report that Col. Roosevelt had said
Oyster Bay that he would favor 4
third party ticket if Hughes were the
Republican nominee brought forth nc
statement from the Hughes men.
Gov. Whitman, leader of the Hughes
faction of New York delegates, smiled
when he was told of the reported
Roosevelt statement. u don t con

said. 81 have thought all along that

OYSTER BAY, June Z.

Hughes is nominated Col. Roosevelt
will himself become a candidate.

Col Roosevelt, i is known, feels
better today in regard to his own
changes toward being nominated
than at any other time. His follow
ers look for a br0adside from him
within day or two which they say
will be calculated to eliminate JUS
tice Hughes from the race and any
other candidates whom the Colonel
regards as representing "the pussy
foot idea. - The Colonel feels, they
say, that if the Republicans have
made up their minds to nominate a
man representing this idea the one
thing left for him to do is to run
himself in order to bring before the
