PrOgressives Are
 Firm for Roosevelt
LEADERS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO
 CONTROL DELEGATES
TO-DAY WILL BE BIG DAY
Only on Promises That No Obstacles Would be Placed in the Way of Nominating Roosevelt Was Ad- iournment Obtained.

 Delegates Controlled by Persuasion.
 Throughout the day the leaders kept control over the delegations more by persuasion and by constant reiteration of Chairman Robins promise that the majority would decide any questions that arose than by any actual hold they had on the delegations. The same determination to nominate Theo- dore Roosevelt was evident from the time the first delegation trooped in, shortly after 1 o'clock, until the last one went out, shortly before g o'clock tonight.
 Roosevelt the Only Man.
 Leaders made no effort to conceal their belief that failure of the confer ence to agree or to find some possible basis for an agreement could result in but one thing-the immediate nomina- ton of Colonel Roosevelt. In the words of Chairman Robins, tomorrow prob- ably will be a big day. in the conven- tfon.
 Only by many promises to place nc obstacle in the way of the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt were the delegates content to adjourn and await results from the conferees.
 In Session About Four Hours.
 The convention spent about foul hours in session, ending witU1 per fUnctory night gathering which result. ed mostly in singing and cheering During the day the temporary organ ization was made permanent and tht platform of the resolutions committel was received, read and made the un finished business.
