He sought to': bar .72 delegates from cast ing their 'ballots until- such . time as 'their;-own" 'cases had been determined. The . original Hadiey list contained 92 delegates when first presented last Monday. On- Tuesday, it was scaled dewn to '78 today it was 72. - James' E. Watson, of Indiana, the Taft " floor leader, moved to lay the motions of - Governor Hadiey on the table.- A roll'eall was demanded 'and seconded. It - was ordered - KeTieyof California, who 'hacTbeen m - his - feet several times during the session clamoring for recognition. In terrupted ; the roll call demanding to know if the 72 contested delegates were, to be-allowed to vote on the 'mo tion. Senator Rot said that the two sit ting: members- from " the Ninth Alaba ma district, whose right to seats were Involved, would not be allowed to vote: All others on the temporary roll, would vote. Heney protested that the right -cf the "72 delegates were involved and he made a point ""of order to that effect. Overruled said. Chairman Root. "I expected it," shouted back Heney.

If Col. Roosevelt eventually heads an independent tick et,, it setoB' certain tonight that the convention which will name him will - be held at a time considerably after the adjournment of the Republican Na tional 'Convention now in session in tWa-city. As-a result of the decisive votesr'bf . today's proceedings of the convention, particularly that on the Fourth California district contest, and after ."; day's"' sober reflection on the partVf -hr close advisers, the plan for a continuation of "the present conven tion as outlined yesterday has practi cally been, abandoned.. If, ; fourthermore, Mr. Roosevelt is placed,; ih nomination before the con vention, now-In session. It "will not be of ..his .planning or with hi3 sanction, but the-, individual action of some tne of his': enthusiastic supporters. These points Inithe otherwise somewhat in definite -iRoose velt programme :were made cleaf. tonight by Col. Roosevelt himself and confirmed by some of his clcsestj advisers. j Some or Col. Roosevelt's more radi cal supporters still cling to the belief that - it; ,' would be wise to carry out their originalplan, which in effect was stoutly? to maintain that the Kepuon- can .contention ; is irregular and. ille gal, and . after its adjournment to pro ceed with an "organization in the same hall and - name their ticket with Mr. Roosevelt'-atlts head. Col. Roosevelt, however, 'today refused to sanction this ' nlan.V He did not forbid it 'He stllf : maintains that he Is bound to obey the wishes cf his supporters and that,hfe Is7 -willing, as he expressed it tyesterdap in his" statement, "personal ly-to bear the. responsibility." . ' v .He it- be, known today, however, that he did not regard such an idea as entirely i-practlcable Should the-nomi- nation'be . Offered to him under such clrcuinstances, it is not his intention to decline out ' ne . Deiieves iue..wiaer course would he to defer final action along' these- lines for awhile. .

If the -decision is .in: the "affirmative a National convention will be held ". ; ; , : .Cot .Roosevelt said tonight he would adhere to the . course which - he - has mapped out;-regardless at what the Roceevelt "delegates to the convention deeide.UDOn. :.C'-T v -'iL:-;;.-?, .i. r''r.?Z Heastakenr a -position apart ifrom the present struggle with the idea that so long as the 78 delegates whom he says are his," are not seated, he can not .be influenced by any-aot of the National .Convention. If theulk of his delegates - choose to follow the course which he has mapped out, he expects to preserve the present organ; ization of his forces. If only a hand full should decide, at the final count, to stand with him, his .decision will not be influenced. Col. Roosevelt's only statement to day in regard to his position was that he had -definitely stated his intentions andthat there could be no change in them. v - He said that the situation .was so unsettled that neither he nor any other man could foresee the events of the next few days. It is his confident belief that a de- O UTLZNES "W. J. Bryan began stirring up trou ble yesterday by telegraphing promi nent Democrats throughout the coun try asfcing them to join him In the fight against: Judge Parker's election as chairman ofc the Democratic, con vention." Developments yesterday gave promise" of a hot fight at.jthe con vention; In Baltimore next week.

It he Were nominated, he said. he would carry the fight into theout;h" with as much vigor as into' the North, with the idea of attracting-to his-stan-dard-all those who believe as he -does. Col.

There is a division of opinion auaong the Roosevelt leaders as to what . part of his following will stand by him;j to the extent of severing the i tie witU their party. Col.
