Republicans Kilted Mea by Decisive Vote Outcome of ' Long,: Hard Fight Speaks .er Wadswortfi Talks. ; Albany, N. X-, June 30: Theodore Roqsevelt was beaten decisively lday Whatever may . be the final outcome of his first adventure in politics since' his retirement from the White House,; he met defeat flatfooted at the hands of the Republican organization' ih the Assembly. : At a late hour the Senate had not made up its mind. Tere Vere' indications that the session 'might. continue the greater part of the night. , The Cobb direct nomination bill was killed in the Assembly this Afternoon after, a long, . hard' fight, The final count stood 8Q to 63 in favor of accept ing the adverse report of the judiciary committee, which ' had the bill " in charge. The Republicans in the Sen ate held a caucus tonight, but only 23 Senators were there. They voted to make a party measure. of the Cobb bill, ' with the ' amendments- proposed by Lloyd C. Grjscom,' chairman of. the New York County Republican Commit tee, and. favored by Col. Roosevelt. But it takes 26 votes to pass a bill In the the Senate, so that the-situation was not cleared. ' ; . ;: ..Theh the Senate" went in : session and as midnight drew near it was still at It, with no vote in sight. -The scene was almost as dramatic and exciting as though Col. Roosevelt 'himself bad been here to lead the battle. There is talk of still another special session. ; The Assembly this, afternoon voted to adjourn at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon -and if the r Senate concurs and iho Legislature quits work' with ii ifxiota biff ' pngseffaanii&ut having provided 'for necessary ' finan clal measures; the leaders Bay Govern or Hughes may call it back again. Roosevelt was the potent figure in today's 1 contest. It was a clear cut issue between the ex-President and the "organization" leaders, and the leaders won. It was a long, hot, tense day. From the moment that Col. Roosevelt sent his telegram to Mr. Griscom, urging the passage of the bill, things humm ed. The situation suddenly became one which was regarded as of Na tional significance. The question was whether Roosevelt of Sagamore Hill was as mighty as Roosevelt, of Wash ington. Those who had previously sup ported the . Cobb measure, including even Gov. Hughes, slipped into' the background. In front of them all was the commanding figure of Theodore Roosevelt.- - ' T Speaker Wadsworth was frankly lad at tie turn , things had taken. The action of the Assembly today Speaker Wadsworth said, "should- not' e construed as a gratuitous slap at he ex-President or at thevGovernor. The Assembly feels that it gave the ullest and, most deliberate considera tion to primary reform at the regular session. ; "The supreme issue .is whether the Assembly shall swallow , Hs convic tions and deliberately reverse its hon est Judgment, and thereby announce to the Legislatures of the future thaj the legislative branch of the govern ment, supposedly independent, can be coerced and forced to occupy a sec ondary position in our system of gov-' ernment It is a question far beyond that of the merits or demerits of , di rect primaries."

Thrilling Regatta In Years . , Won All Honors. .'; " New Lond&n, .Conn., June 30. The setting sun could hot tinge the waters of the . Thames this evening with a deeper crimson than they had been dyed by the victories of three Harvard crews. On the broad four mile stretch between this city and Galea. Ferry, Harvard met Yale today in their th annual rowing regatta. Five lengths Was Harvardls margin of success in the varsity eight oared race,' three lengths in the freshman eight, and four length in the varsity four. The freshman four race won by Yale Wednesday evening, , was the one sweet drop in, Yale's bitter cup of defeat. ; It is estimated 'that 60,000 persons saw the final race and that 40,000 of , them were from out of town.". This multitude saw three as thrilling: races as, ever cut the waters' of the Thames. Here, are the times: Varsity eight: . Harvard 20:46 1-2; Yale 21:04. Varsity" four, Harvard 13:00 1-2: Yale lAtl8.; Freshman eight: Harvard 11:54 1-2: Wale 12:02. v, . . , ; , The varsity four and. freshman eight -bared race at two miles were rowed up stream this morning.

' ' The victory of the Crimson in the big ' varsity race was not unexpected 'al- though Yale for the past ten days had J 1 been rated rather more dangerous than ; it proved. The Elys held on to the Crimson up . to tue last half mile. Then the supe- ' rior physical power In the Cambridge boat settled the conteBt, Harvard's big eight averaged seven pounds per man heavier thd& Yale's and one inch .taller. ' The big race was another demonstra tion of the' cleverness of Jim Wray, the ; Harvard coach, in turning - out fast a crews composed of big men. 1 The crew which represented Yale this afternoon averaged 171 5-8 pounds. But Wray Tiad a crew Which averaged ! 179 pounds to the man! . Yale tried to kill ott-Harvard today by setting a fast pace and puiied the - highest stroke that any Yale -crew has ' rowed in years. Starting at 89 strokes to the minute Yale only dropped to 36 ' at the half mile. Soon after the half ' mile flag had been passed Yale let her , stroke down to 34 to the mlhute, which 1 was held until near the finish with two ' exceptions.
