Gosesip among New Yorkers even went €0 far as t6 suggest that with Roosevelt transferred to the national ticket Woodruff was already agreed upon as the candidate for Governor of New York. Roosevelt had also other advisors, who insisted that it would be suicide to decline the nomination. All day long Hanna's efforts have been directed to the rebuilding of the booms wrecked yester- day in the Roosevelt tornado. All the fa- vorite sons have been encouraged to re- main in the race, and not without some success Much May Happen in Three Days. The no tion for Vice President Is three days away. Much can be accom- plished in that time by shrewd, hard- headed political leaders. The delegates are all desirous of carrying out the Presi- dent’s wishes, and if the intimation once became the conviction that McKinley himself would prefer ther candidate the popular choice would be abandoned. Mr. Platt very shrewdly decided that the New York delegation should not formally indorse Roosevelt. It is said that Roose- welt insisted upon this. Then If he were nominated it would be said that the nomi- nation was forced on him. But while the New York delegation refrained from In- dorsing Roosevelt, Platt is said to have passed the word to Quay and the Pennsyl- vania delegation to continue to fan the flames. All day the delegates and the crowds were abandoning themseives to the joys of the hour. From dawn until midnight the air never ceased to throb to the pulsa- tions of the music, and the streets con- stantly echoed the steady tramp of feet as famous marching clubs paraded with fly- ing banners.

This idea received en- couragement in quarters which made the Massachusetts man a prime favorite. Of The friends of DoMiver renewed their efforis for the young Iowa orator. There was some talk about Fairbanks, but the pre- vailing feeling was that only men who were willing to accept the place should be considered. It was urged that an un willing candidate was not advisable, and, therefore, the men most talked of were Long and Dolliver, but with the general | impression that Long would be the ulti- hopes, however, with the ald of Senator | Hanna, to defeat the plan to nominate him. Senator Lodge contradicts the current | report concerning his utterances at conference in Governor Roosevelt’s rooms to-day in which he participated with the Governor and Senator Hanna. that he went to Governor room as a supporter of Secretary Long and that the Governor knew his position. “I have been a personal friend of Gov- ernor Roosevelt for mary years,” he sald, “and as his friend, it would be impossi- |'ble for me to take the position there at- tributed to me, or use the language placed in my mouth. He does not want the office and there is no reason why it should be He knows how I feel and he knows that I am for Long, first, last and all the time. The whole story is a tissue of Invention.” It has been a day of conferences on the Vice Presidential situation. Beginning | with a gathering In the room of Governor Rooseveit, attended by Senator Hanna, Senator Lodge and Mr. Odell of New York, it was continued In the rooms of Senator Hanna later when nearly all the leaders in the city were from time to time in conference with the chairman of the national committee. There were Scnators Allison, Scott, Elkins, Carter, Lodge, Bur- rows and Shoup, Mr. Bliss and many rep- resentatives of the New York leaders, both Governor Roosevelt and Senator Platt being represented. When the last man' had disappeared Senator Hanna looked weary but satisfied. He was ready to annbunce that Gbvernor Roosevelt would not be nominated, that the men | who were goin~ to make the nomination | would accept the declaration of Roose- velt, made during the day and supple- mental of more emphatic declarations made some time ago as final and would not force the nominatfon upon him. Among the last men to see Senator Hanna were Chairman Odell of the New York committee and L. E. Quigg, who discussed the situation at great length. It was with these men _that Senator Hanna labored. He told them that six months ago Roosevelt was wanted as a Vice Presidential candidate. He and other warm friends of the administration believed that Roosevelt would be a satis- factory candidate. The bare -suggestion brought out a protest from Roosevelt, a declaration in emphatic terms that he would not accept the place. After this declaration had been reiterated several times it was taken up by Senator Platt, who publicly announced that Governor Roosevelt was not to be consldered as a Vice Presidential candidate. Then other candidates appeared and In a dignificd manner their interests were put forward by their triends throughout the country. The only man appearing in New York was Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. The suggestion of ex-Secretary Bliss brought forth a declination from him, coupled later with a statement from Mr. Hanna himself that Bliss could not be considered for personal.reasons. fe then pointed after the delegates began arriv- ing the name of Roosevelt was suddenly sprung with an effort to stampede the convention and force a nomination upon a man who did not want it, apparentiy because some other candidate was desired | tor Governor. As the Ohlo Senator rehearsed the con- ditions he warmed up and pointed out that under the existing conditions the nomina- tion of Roosevelt was not fair to the men who had come out for the place and who should have an equal show before the convention. This plain talk from Senator Hanna cleared up what had been in doubt all day. It was evident that Hanna was not going to lie down.

And so the stampede for Roosevelt was checked and turned .and that which seemed so certain last night seems well nigh impossible to-night. Roosevelt him- elf, his close personal friends working among delegates and assuring them that the nomination was not desired by him; Senator Hanna and his lieutenants, all working together, are responsible for this result. It has been a day of nard work, of earnest endeavor and to-night the men most interested believe that the Roose- velt boom has finally been laid to rest.

Secretary Root, who had just returned from a secret mission to Philadelphia, reached the executive mansion shortly after noon and remained with the Presi- dent until after 3 o’clock. They discussed the Roosevelt stampede and kindred ques- tions bearing upon the convention. Sec- retary Root nositively declined to impart to outsiders any information bearing upon his trip to Philadelphia or his conference with the President. It was subsequently ascertained that Secretary Root explained to the President that the promotion of the Roosevelt boom in opposition to the administration desire to have former Sec- retary Bliss on the ticket arises from [ R L e R o e o o ] % | SBENATOR SPOONER OF WIS- CONSIN STANDS IN WITH THE ADMINISTRATION. @ oot e b e e et ebe@ these two causes: Bliss is unpopular with the Republican organization in New York. Senator Platt and those associated with him in the management of the Re- publican party in the Empire State are anxious to keep Governor Roosevelt from presiding over the destinies of the State Albany for a second term. -In spite of direct and implled denials, it is known that Senator Platt has never wavered in his belief that Governor Roosevelt might be induced to accept the Vice Presidential nomination under cege tain conditions. Senator Platt and his associates have been called upon to in- voke all political skill and statecraft, even to the verge of duplicity, to culti- vate Governor Roosevelt up to the stage where he might be regarded as being in a receptive attitude. Every method known to political conniving is said to have been resorted to to impress Gov- ernor Roosevelt with the idea that not only Senator Hanna and other friends ot the administration antagohized his going upon the ticket with McKinley, but, by careful and adroit use of language, per- sons inspired by Senator Platt have en. deavored to make it appear that even the senior Senator from New York and the regular organization was at work to pre- vent his nomination.

ONE HUNDRED CLUBS IN LINE Monster.Procession Threads ‘be Conpvention City’s Streets. PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—Five miles of clubs, mounted, on foot, by coach, floats and in carriages d h music, red fire and cakewalk, i est way of describing the turnout of po- litical clubs to-night. The police had pre- pared for the demonstration by roping Broad street early in the afternoon. It was a wise forethought, for before dusk Philadelphia’s appropriately named thor- oughfare was a mass of humanity, and it has been many years since the police of Philadelphia have been called upon to handle such banks of humanity as lined the route of the parade. Visitors from cities where the police have great crowds to handle were profuse in praise of Phila- delphia’s police to-night. An amusing feature of the parade—and, by the way, an innovation—was an Inter- larded cakewalk in the column. The char- acters were icolored men, women and children attired in costume made more attractive by the torches of red fire. InThe prearrangement of to-night's pa- rade it had been decided in spite of an expressed sentiment by many of the clubs to permit nothing In the line antagonistic to the civil service. There were, how- ever, two violations of the order. On one transparency mounted on wagons this motto, “The Civil Serv law ¢ qualifies all over the age of 4 On an- other, carried by a club on foot, was this, ““We are opposed to the Ci Service law because it is unamerican. The only demonstration in the line in behalf of Vice Presidential candidates was displayed by one club of twenty stream- ers, on which “Dolliver” was painted in big letters. The parade was divided into eight di- visions, in which were more than eighty local clubs and about twenty visiting litical organizations. The out-of-town clubs were scattered tions and had been assigned to entertain visiting clubmen. Conspicuous in line were the famous Cook County Republican March- ing Club of Chicago, the Young Men's Republican Tariff Club of Pittsburg, the Young Men's Blaine Club of Cine the Hamilton Club of Chicago, the “M Kinley Neighbors” from Canton, Ohio; the Blaine Invincibles of Washington, the J. Edward Addicks Club of Wilmingt Del., and the well-known Tippecanoe Club of Cleveland, Ohto. In the eighth divisfon was the Colorado- Philadelphia Club of Denver, headed by the George W.
