At the very moment when it flashed to the progressive convention that Hughes had been nominated at the Coliseum as the standard bearer of the republican party, Chairman Robins of the progressive convention was an- nouncing that Col. Roosevelt had been unanimously nominated as the pro- gressive's leader. The convention went wild and there was no way to inform the delegates what had transpired at the Coliseum.

Before this action was taken Mr. Robins had mentioned the necessity of nominating a vice president. “Johnson is the man,” was the shout, showing that the desire of the party was almost unanimously for their 19 standard bearers—Col. Theodore Roosevelt of New York, and Governor Hiram Johnson of Califor- nia. Governor Johnson declared after the recess that he and other leaders would communicate with Col. Roose- velt during the recess and. insist upon a definite statement immediately as to whether he would accept. ‘I insist,”” the governor said, ‘that these delegates should be advised be- fore they adjourn the convention just what the progressive party intends to do. T am very positive in my convic- tion that they should not be held in suspense in this critical time.” Roosevelt Silent, Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 10.—When informed that the republicans had nominated Justice Hughes and that the progressives had nominated him, Col. Roosevelt refused to make any communication. It is confidently believed, however, that Col. Roosevelt wili accept the nomination. His friends looked for a statement from him to this effect later in the day.
