Mr. Dunn disclaims the idea that he will join the Roose- velt movement if it meats break- ing from the ranks of the G. O. P. Mr. Dunn’s name was used in the «third party convention call issued last week and he has been swe>-- ing—solemnly and otherwise, ever since—that he has no intention of serving the ties that bind H. H. to the R epublican party. “I am opposed to a third party movement,” he says. “If the moye- ment contemplates a third party I ‘cannot join in it.
