Y., Aug. 22.—The bull moose committee of twenty-one after turning down Harvey D, Hinman in New York city yesterday came down here to get Col. Roosevelt's ap- proval. They got it. The members of the progressive steering committee agreed on a straight progressive ticket in the state as far as possible and at least for the head of the ticket. Col. Roosevelt agreed with them on that, and said with his old time fighting spirit that he would carry the battle from one end of the state to the other. Theodore Douglas Robinson, state chairman, and Willlam H. Hotchkiss accompanied the members “of the committee to Oyster Bay. They left New York on the yacht of William H. Childs, the committee’s chairman, and after running into City Island during the storm got here in time to see a rainbow over Sagamore Hill This was pointed out to Col, Roose- velt as a good omen. Straight Party Ticket. “We came to consult with - the colonel in regard to our action in New York today,” said Mr. Childs after the conference on the colonel’s porch. “The colonel agrees with us on a straight party ticket. We knew before we started down that he wouldn’t run for governor himself. There will be another statement is- sued from progressive headquarters in the morning.” & Col. Roosevelt then said: ‘““Whatever action these gentlemen take I stand ready to back up. I will back the progressive ticket and wili fight for it from one end of the state to the other. The republican con- vention at Saratoga showed that the progressive ticket is the only one for which decent citizens can ‘honestly vote. I am ‘getting better all the time. I never felt better in my life.” Not a Candidate. As soon as the Colonel heard that the committee was coming to see him he sent them a message that under no consideration would he be a can- didate himself. Mr. Childs said that the committee hadn’'t decided on a candidate for governor, yet the names of Chauncey J. Hamlin of Buffalo, Mr. Hotchkiss and ex-State Senator Fred- erick M. Davenport, who was also in the party that waited on the Colonel today, have been put forward by in- dividual members of the committee of twenty-one. The progressive leaders appeared to be well pleased with themselves. They believe that Harvey D. Hinman's chances of ever being governor are dead and buried and that the Bing- hamton man’s failure to show fight at Saratoga sounded his political death knell. Leaders Unanimous. The progressive party steering com- mittee, made up of twenty-one lead- ers, formally rejected Harvey D. Hin- man as a candidate for governor yes- terday and sent a committee down to Oyster Bay to tell Col. Roosevelt their sentiments and if possible get him to head the state ticket this fall. They are practically unanimous for an out and out Progressive for governor and they want the rest of the ticket “sub- stantially” progressive all the way down. All but five of the twenty-one mem- bers of the committee were present at the national progressive headquar- ters in thé Forty-second street build- ing when Chairman Willlam Hamlin Childs of Brooklyn called the meeting to order at 11 o’clock. Bainbridge Colby, Francis W. Bird, H. H. Steb- bins, J. R. Taylor of Brooklyn, Judge W. D. Ransom and Earle 8. Warner failed ta put in an appearance, but ‘William H. Hotchkiss held Mr. Ran- som’'s proxy. Among the leaders pres- ent were State Chairman Theodore Douglas Robinson, by invitation; Regis H. Post, Hamilton Fish, Jr., Robert H. Elder, W. M. Chadbourne and Chauncey J. Hamlin, There were present also a number of representa- tives of up-state counties. The con- ference lasted several hours and all were pledged to secrecy. Unanimous on Candidates. After the meeting Mr. Childs said: “The committee of twenty-one is practically unanimous at this moment in favor of reporting back to the state | committee at its meeting in Utica on | Thursday a lst of candidates headed by a progressive for governor and sub- stantially progressive all the way down.” progressive indorsements perhaps of soéme satisfactory man named for i some office other than that of gover- nor by the othed parties. The com- mittee made no formal resolutions of its sentiments, “You can read the statement for yourself,” Mr. Childs added when agked if the committee meant to re- ject Mr. Hinman. “I might say, how- ever, that there is nothing but the friendliest of feelings here for Mr. Hinman.” “Does it mean that Colonel Roose- velt will be asked to head the ticket?” he was asked. “I have nothing to say about that,” he replied.
