Chicago, June 14.—Addition-by the republican national committee of 14 delegates from Alaska, Oklahoma, South Carolin: and Tennessee to tae “eredited to Taft” list and anncunce- ment that Theodore Roosevelt had gtarted for Chicago constituted the conerete developments of the poiitical gituation here up to a late hour to- night. “Sad and Humiliating Spectacle.” What may be Mr. Roosevelt's definite intentions in his sudden wnd somewiat unexpected journey to Chicago no per- son but bimself knows. His adhdtents evidently believe that his personal presence would rally to his support many possibly wavering delegates. His opponents bitterly denotunced his com- ing. The most definite assertion they made was that his underlying intent was to dea! persomally with the fed- eral office holders. Willlam Barnes, Jr., declared that Mr. Rooseyelt's com- ing to the convention offersd a “sad tnd humiliating spectacle for the American people.” Taft Majority Uncompromising, The general impressiop at midnight was that the Taft y in the na- tional commitiee had adopted an un- tompromising attitude toward the re- paining contests and that the Roose- selt people could expect lttle at their bands. Color was given to this view by the Taft headquasters giving out a table of their claims of delegates in- eluding all of the delegates from the crucial districts not yet passed upon by the committee. McKinley Says It Shows Desperation. To the Taft leaders the aunnounce- ment of Colonel Roosevelt's coming was*in the nature of a “red rag o a bull” Director McKinley of the Taft campaign mg;n‘mm issued a state- ment in whi he declared unequivo- eally that the certain Taft strength detegates—o4 ledge of defeat. He asserted that at a canference of the Roosevelt people beld Thursday afternoon their most opti- mistic fizmring showed a Rooseveit to- 1al of 78 votes short of the necessary B40. LClaims 594 Delegates for Taft. More significant, however, was the table of delegates’ fizures which ac- companted Mr. MeKinley's statement —the 594 delegates which he lsted in the Fali column included all the con- tested delegations, 64 in number, from rexas, Virginia and Washington, upon whosé cases the national commitiee bag still to pass.

Less “Peace Talk.” With the increasing definiteness of these rumors came an even more defi- fite decrease of “peace talk” Hxpres- mions on both sides were distinctly less truculent. In spite of all the recent talk about Mr. RoosevelU's coming and the posi- tive deciaratious of many of his enthu- plastio supporters that he surely would Be in Chicago before the convention, Ponseveil managers were apparently in doubt until he decided to start.

New York, June 14—Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt started for Chicago late today to lead the fight for his nomin- ation at the republican convention. He left on the Lake Shore Limited at 5.80 p. m, and will reach Chicago tomor- Tow afternoon at 4 o'clock, The colonel said that he was going in Tesponse to a unanimous demand of the Roosevelt delegates that he come “not as a candidate but because for | the time being I stand as representing | the principles for which the rank and file of the republican party have over- whelmingly decided in the states where they heve had an opportunity to ex- press their wishes at primaries.” The colonel annownced his decision to start for the political storm center and take personal charge of the fight for delegates shortly after midduay, making a verbal statement at the Out- ook offices. While during the fore- noon the onlonel was hesieged with in quiries from newspaper men, politi cians and others as lo hig inteniion, ha hall been non-committal up to that tima. The fact, however, that the form er president had molored up from Oyster Bay eariy in the morning ac companied by Mrs. Ronsevelt, with baggaga aboard the machine, gave rise to expectations that he had decided to go., so that not come as a surprise. Colonel Roosevelt disappointed 4 orowd of some two hundred persons who had gathered at the Grand Cen- tral station to see him off. by entering the train shed from the {5th street side of the statlon and descending io the track platform by a freight elevator.

An army of photographers snapped him as he emerged from the building. His machine was followed by a pro- cession of three other automobiles, one contained members of the Out- look staff in the party and the oth- ers occupied by newspaper men. Roosevelt gaily waved the new som- brero to the onlookers as the machine drew away. His chauffeur made such good speed that the mewspaper auto- mobiles were left behind and the form- er president had dissappeared down the freight elevator when the report- ers arrived at the station. Yourjy Teddy On Hand. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., surround- ed by would-be interview after the train pulled out, said “No, my father didn’t have anything to say.” After the colonel had given out his statement efforts to obtain any furth- er information from him were una- | vailing. He made but one appearance from the seclusion of his office during the afternoon. Then he was shown a newspaper headline quoting President Taft as saying “I will win.” As the paper was spread out before him and a request made for his comment he gave it a quick glance and frowned. His only respouse was an impatient grunt, FOURTEEN FOR TAFT. Score at Roosevelt Again Fails to Contest Hearing. Chicago, June 14—President Taft today received six delegates at the hands of the republican national com- mittee in contests with the forces of Colonel Roosevelt. To that number the committee added eight by the set- tlement of local fights between Taft rival delegations. Opposed to the day’s gain of 14 by President Taft was another empty sheet for Colonel Roose- velt. Texas and Washington Today. When the commitiée adjourned at 2560 o'clock this afternoon the Texas, Virginia and Washington contests re- mained as the struggles in which the Roosevelt leaders are to center their strength tomorrow. Up to tonight the commiftee’s labors have resulted as follows: Today’s results: For Taft in contest with Roogevelt, Oklahoma, first dis- trict, 2; Tennessee, second district, 2; ninth, 2, In contests between rival Taft dele- gations: South Carolina, first district, 2; Teunesseeo, firet district, 2; tenth distrioct, 2; Alaska, %. Total contests decided, 186. For Taft 173, for Rooseveit 13, Remaining un- decided 68, Heney Talke of “Clean Steal.” None of the conteste today brought out the strong man feeling that has characteri: many of the argu- ments and decislons in the committee room. In the three districts, where Roosevelt contests appeared the col- onel's partisans on the committee vot- ed against the seating of the Taft dele- gates, but the only strong comment was on the decision of the ninth Ten- nessee case, which Francis J, Heney was a “clean steal” A contest from Alaska that had nét figured in ths committee’s lsts was disposed of without argument just be- fore adjournment. Credentlals from & contesting delogation elected at Val- dez May 29 had been received by Sec- retary Hayward, but the committee declined to comsider them. Preparing for Fight Over Texas. The sudden and early termination of the day's proceedings resulted from the desirs of President Taft's attor- neys for more time to prepare the cases invoiving the 30 contested dele- gates from Texas. Colonel Cecil Lyon, the Texas committeeman, declared the Rooseveli forces were prepared and desired to continue, but former Sena- tor Dick asked and was granted a con tinuance until tomorrow morning.
