WITHDRAWAL OF
 KING TROUBLING WOOD HENCHMEN
Roraback Proves Obstacle To Boomers For
 Wood.

Dissension in the Leonard Wood forces, due unquestionably to the re- tirement of John T. King, as man ager of the presidential boom, is giv' ing deep concern to Gen. Wood 8 supporters, and may retire the gen. era1 to second place on the list of G. o. F. possibilities, while up to the present he has had no difficulty in holding the lead, says the New York World, this morning.
 trouble in Missouri, trouble
 There is trouble in Connecticut, trouble in Missouri, trouble in Okla homa-though this is due to a fac tiona1 fight-and indications of trou- ble in other states. In addition, 1t may be said that in the matter of getting delegates the Wood boomers have made very little progress in deed since Col. William c. Proctor succeeded MT. King as general man. ager.
 MT. King is the National Commit teeman from Connecticut He has the credit of having started the Wood boom. When he got out, following g the selection of Col. Proctor, he faced a terrific fight in his own or ganization in Connecticut, the opposi- tion to him being led by J. Henry Roraback, state chairman.
 It now appears that the Wood boomers have made little, if any, effort to bring the Roraback organ ization into line since King got out. The effort is to be made very short ly, probably by the end of this week and following the return from Chi cago of Congressman Norman J. Gould, eastern manager for the Wood campaign committee. It is more than probable that Thomas W. Miller, MT. Gou1d's assistant, will be sent into Connecticut at once to use his persuasive powers with MT. Rora- back.
 But reports from Connecticut indi- cate that MT. Miller may experience some difficulty. Workers in behalf of Gov. Lowden of Illinois, have al-
