CHICAGO. June 6.-Conflicting re-
ports regarding "A plan of leaders
headed by George w. Perkins to have
the Progressive national convention
postpone action upon nominations
until some tangible result on nomi-
nee is reached in the Republican con-
vention followed Mondays meeting of
the Progressive national committee.
Many leaders favored the plan of
marking time. Mr.. Perkins announced
tonight that the convention would not
nominate right off the bat but prob
ably would wait for time at least.
on the other hand, former Repre-
sentative Victor Murdock of Kansas.

serted that the committee had
reached no agreement to withhold

Against these assertions william
Allen White. national committeeman
from Kansas declared the committee
had agreed to have the convention
postpone consideration of nominations
until Saturday, awaiting Republican
action He said a steering commit
tee" had been named to launch a
publicity campaign to boost Colonel
Roosevelt among Republican dele
gates, and confer with a Republican
committee looking to joint nomina-
tions. Chairman Murdock after the
national committees meeting issued
formal statement saying:
THE executive committee was au-
thorized to prepare an address to the
delegates of the Republican conven-
tion. giving the reasons why the Pro-
gresslves urge the nomination Of
Theodore Roosevelt. This statement
will be published in full, probably on
Wednesday morning"
Chairman Murdock' statement was
the first official announcement that
the party would foster publicity cam
paign. 1t was regarded by Progress
sive leaders as formal notice to Re-
publican leaders that the Progressives
VIII make IA determined effort to have
the colonel nominated.
Many delegates were openly and
vigorously outspOn-n tonight against
delay. Some appeared determined to
force immediate nomination of Colo
mel Roosevelt on Wednesday, the
opening day. Several leaders ex-
pressed doubt tonight that the dele
gates can be held in check and re-
main virtually idle while the Repub-
licans are deliberating.
Meeting Called.
The meeting called today fer to-
morrow afternoon with chairmen OF
all state organizations, it was under
stood, is to thresh out the question OF
delaying the nominations. A final
decision may be reached after the
temper Of the delegates themselves is
sounded through the chairmcn of
delegations.
Leaders favoring the program Of
delay were much perturbed over Mr..
whites announcement that the ma
tional committee had definitely and
formally decided upon such action.
They frankly disliked the possible cf-
feet upon delegates demanding Colo
mel Roosevclts nomination regardless
of Republican action. Prompt and
emphatic denial that the committee
had acted came from Chairman Muir
