Roosevelt Manager Says Senator Won't Preside at Convention. Chicago, May 24—Ormsby McHarg of New York, one of the managers of Colonel Roosévelt's campalgn for the republican nomination, who spent sev- ernl hours in Chicago today, said to- night that the Roosevelt forces would refuse to abide by the selection of United States Senator Blihu Root of New York as temporary chairman of the national convention. McHarg said that the Roosevelt managers would insist on naming a chairman in accord with the Roose- velt policles. The names of Gov, Herbert S, Hadley of Missouri, Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of California, and United States Sénator Moses E. Clapp | of Minnesota were mentioned by Mc- Harg as being acceptable in this con- nection to the Roosevelt forces. McHarg said he would have charge of all Roosevelt contests to be taken before the republican natlonal com- mittee this year, as he did four years ago for President Taft. “When the convention meets,” said McHarg, “the Rooseveit strength will be such that we will control absolutely. We propose to organize that conven- tion along lnes that will not be at all comfortable for Senator Root to preside. That convention must bave as chairmen a man in accord’ Aith Colonel Roosevelt's views and policies, and that means it must be someone other than Senator Root. Tt is ob- viously impoesible to have a’chairman delivering a keynote speech who 18 out of sympathy with Colonel Roosevelt the progressive cause, There is Jo ether side to that question.” | \ ‘ TAFT CONFIDENT.
