NEW YORK REPUBLICAN,
STATE CONVENTION
SUDDENLY ADJ0URNS

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y,
July 20.-With the eyes OF the po-
uucal leaders Of state and nation
focused on its deliberations. the
New York repu bl.can state conven-
ticn suddenly and Unexpectedly ad-
journed Friday. leaving unanswered
many questions 10 which replies
were eagerly awaited.
Chief among these was whether
Col Theodore Roosevelt would con-
sent TO enter the race for the gov
ernorship this fall. The prevailing
belief as the delegates left for their
homes was that he would. But in
the absence OF any authentic state
ment from him, either while he
was here Thursday or after a move
ment 20 nominate him assumed def
mite and purposefuI proportions, the
party managers of all factions were
as much at sea as ever
Although the convention just
closed was featured by the centrali-
zation of the Roosevelt boom. it
marked the first appearance of the
recently enfranchised women in a
big convention on a political equal
ity with the men
The part played by the women
was not insignificant. Fully one
fifth Of 1,O34 delegates were new
voters. and woman, Miss Mary
Garrett Hay OF New York. was made
chairman of the important resolu-
lions committee, which drafted the
platform that was unanimously
adopted.

trays. which are stacked one upon
another with the open ends turned
toward the fan and covered with
cheesecloth. and the fan is placed
close to the end Of the stack and
run at moderate speed. thus driving
vigorous current Of air over the

rapidly at the end nearest the fan.
hence the stack must be reversed
after four or six hours and again
