May 23—Cast- ing aside all quibble and compromise a committee of twenty-four prom- inent republicans, practically all of them T advocates in 191 came o Oyster Bay yesterday afternoon to inform Colonel Theodora Roosevelt that representative republicans of every state in the union were organ- izing to work for his nomination for president at the republican national convention on June 7 as the leader | in the movement for Americanism and preparedness. The Colonel's re- | ply was to the poin “I am naturally deeply touched and pleased by wour action. I accept it absolutely in the spirit in which you have taken it.” Then the Colonel smiled cordially and his auditors applauded. There v more applause when he gave expression to this statement, which was taken as a parting shot at Jus- tice Hughes: “Any man at this time of c 5 who not aggressively, openly, and specificially for these principles is against them, and every patriotic man should lru&t our public sei.vants on this bas The scene was intensely dramatic and impr ve. The members of the delegation, headed by George Von L. Meyer, who was secretary of the navy under Roosevelt, gathered in the north room at Sagamore Hill and waited impatiently for the Colonel to most nervously, as if to give vent to their feeling: when the Colonel strode into the room, accompanied by his secretar Mr. McGrath. The Colonal was dressed in a riding suit of khaki and he carried a roll of answer to the announcement which he had been told was to come. Cheers Greet the Colonel. He stood at one end of the room, tusks, presented to him by Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia, while Mr. Meyer reason for the organization of 4} ation-wide committee.

Our Stock of Cretonnes is Without Equal had concluded, and then, with bow to his auditors, the Colonel began. Several times, during his address n which he spared neither Wilson nor Hughes, nor any otlier man “in or out of office,” who has failed to come for- ward with his bel concerning the needs of the country, the Colonel was interrupted by cheers. His words were taken as an outspoken declara- tion of 'his candidacy and as a mes- sage 'to the members of the delega- tion and their co-workers to take off their coats and get into the fight for him. One of the most impressive scenes came after the more formal events in the famour north room. The Colonel and the members of the delegation had gone to the lawn in the rear of Sagamore Hill, where photographers turned a battery of cameras on them. Then they entered into an animated discussion. Prof. Bingham’s Statement. One of the delegates was Professor Hiram Bingham of Yale, a close friend of ex-President Taft, and an alternate to the republican conven- tion. Professor Bingham pushing his way through the others to the Col- onel's side sai “Colonel Roos 1t, I want to tell vou very frankly just how I stand. When I was in Peru as a represen- tative of the National Geographic so- ciety, I found much that didn’t please me. I found that the claim to Amer- | ican citizenship won no respect.

And when I read | your speech about preparedness and ‘ Americanism, I decided that despite my love for dear old Bill Taft, I was | for you. | The other delegates cheered this | frank utterance, and the Colonel | clapped his hands vigorously. | ‘Good for you!” he said. “I can't | tell you how much it pleases me to hear you talk like that. And it is | exactly proof of what I was told by | mund Heller, He was in Peru, and he said that they helieved there we were afraid to fight for our rights with Germany or Mexico, and that there was no respect for an Ameri- can citizen.” And that was the spirit of the vhole affair on Sagamore Hill. Dur- ing the informal talk every one was outspoken for real preparedness, urg- ing upon the Colonel that it was his duty to continue the aggressive fight that he has been making, and in the absence of any one else willing to come out in the open as the leader of the nation, jump in with both feet, | and fight to the end for the nomina- { tion at Chicago. The Colonel shook hands, gave vent | to vigorous utterances, smiled con- tinually, and thanked everybody for | what they were doing not only in his | behalf, (he emphasized always the | fact that the fight was not for him- | self,) but in behalf of the honor and safety of the country. There was a deiegation of six rep- resenting Oyster Bay—all of them prominent citizens and friends of the Colonel—in the northroom when the Colonel was informed of the purpose of his visitors. The formal announce- ment .nd repl$ took but a few min- | utes. TRIES T0 END LIFE WITH POCKET KNIFE Treasurer of Surety Co. Attempts Suicide in Railroad Terminal New York, May —William A. Brandt, sccretary-treasurer of the | American Surety company of New | York, attempted to commit suicide with a penknife in a washroom of the Hudson Terminal yesterday. e stabbed himself in the stomach eleven times, and is now dying in the Hud- son Street hospital. Althoush con- scious when discovered by a negro porter, Brandt declined to reveal any motive for his act. From his muiter- ings it was understood that he was | deeply despondent over some matter he did not disclose, and on hat account wanted to die. At the office of the American St ty company, where Mr. Brandt employed for about thirty vears, reason could be given for his desire to end his life. R. R. Brown, first vice president of the company, issued a statement to the effect that Mr. randt’s accounts were in perfect condition and absolutely bevond crit- icism. It was not known whetaer he had lost any money through invest- ments. A general impression pre- vailed among his associates, nowever, that Mr. Brandt was suffering from poor health, and might have been temporarily unbalanced when he used the knife on himself. Tt was also understood that he was | subjected to additional worry by illness of some members of his fam ily. Recently he applied for a lcave of absence but changed his niind and remained on duty, excent for a day or two when he was reported ill at his home in Maplewood, N. UT., where he lives with his wife and s ter-in-law. He is fifty-six vears o and has no children. His mother and sister reside in Brooklyn. Went “On An Errand.” Mr. Brandt arrived at the office of the American Surety company at 100 Broadway yesterday at 9:30 o’clock. So far as his associates could recall there was nothing unusual in his ap- pearance. At 10:45 o’clock he left the office, saving he was going on an errand, to which he must attend once. That was the last heard of him at the office, until a telephoae mes- sage from the Greenwich Street Police Station, informed the officials of the company that he had tried f» ~om- mit suicide and was being ~emoved to the Hudson Street hospital in a critical condition. More than a score of persons were in the retiring room of the FTudson terminal when Brandt was discovered in a half conscious condition hy Law- rence Miller, a porter, who was the first to hear the groans and who dragged Mr. Brandt to the middle of the room where it was found that he had inflicted eleven wounds on his abdomen, most of them quite deep. Dr. Haynes, ambulance surgeon of the Hudson Street Hospital, doubted whether there was much chance of recovery. Neither the ambulance surgeon nor policemen who tried to question him could get a word from Brandt as to why he wanted to kill himself. ifc merely shook his head and begged | @ them to leave him alone. An exam- ination showed that he had used n knife with a blade about three inch- es long. When removed to the hos- the physicians were undecided wheth- | er the operation would save him. Among his fellow-officials in the American Surety company. Mr Brandt w considered a hard and conscientious worker. He rose from a minor position to that of t urer, which he now occupies, his carser he- ing marked by promotions for good service.
