(By Loused Wire to The Times) Washington,-April 15 It is prob able the officers of the National American Womans Suffrage Associa tion will today officially repudiate the action of some of the delegates in hissing President Taft when he ad dressed the convention last night, be cause his views on woman's suffrage do not coincide with some of the del egates' views. Officers of the association held a meeting at the Arlington Hotel this morning behind closed doors, which lasted several hours. It is" probable a statement will be issued this after noon officially expressing disapproval ,of tiie incident of last night, when the iirAHMunt nf the United States was openly insulted. - The delegates are greatly excited this morning over the affair. An effort is being made to tenn the'matter auiet but expressions are flying back and forth., between . those who participated in the insult to the chief executive and tno3e who condemn tuelr action. Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, of Mioy lan,' Pa., president of the associa tion, denied herself to interviewers this morning but Mrs. Rachel Poster Avery, of Swartamore, Pa., first vice president, who was on the platform when the convention reassembled this morning, condemned the action of last night. '' "The hissing of the president," said Mrs. Avery, "was not in accord ance with the views of the great ma jority of the delegates. That action was participated in by only a few ex cited women who lost their heads. The convention and the association does not endorse thlr action. We arc extremely sorry tnat it occurred.'- Many other delegates express the same sentiments, while there were some who are unrepentent.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, April 15 On the last lap of a 21,000 miles trip as a message bearer to Colonel Roosevelt, P. G. Bon- flls, proprietor of the Denver Post and the -Kansas City Post, banker,' real estate man and street railroad mag nate, today stepped ashore from the Lusltania -with this message to the American people:- 'If-the people want ' Roosevelt for president again they will get him." The message does not come from the lips of the Colonel now in triumphal procession through Europe arid Mr, Bonfils wants that distinctly under stood. But the truth of thin statement is beyond question to my mind," ho said to a reporter." "The American people seem to want to know this one thing more than any other thing, whether Roosevelt will get to the white house again. I was sent clear from Denver to Khartoum to talk wfth 'hlm and present him the Invitations of the chambers of commerce of the great western cities and after close persona! contact with the members of his party I feel safe in saying that not a single man in thnt party doubts thut Roose velt is now ready to accept the call of the people. "It Is not hard to get a solid and safe impression from such i small group as that which now surrounds Mr. Roosevelt. Every man, newspaper man and otherwise. In the party is of the opinion that he will accept the nomina tion for the presidency. It is violating no confidence to say this for it does not come from Mr. Roosevelt himself. "I had a personal meeting with the ex-president- In Khartoum and Cairo and he : was Cordial and pleased to hear from the western people, of his country. He could not accept the-mvi-tatlon to land on the Pacific . coast and come pverland to the east because of the marriage of his son in June. He will be in the west afterward, however." i "Does Mr. Roosevelt know that the American people want him as their president once more?" Mr. Bonfils was asked. "I believe that he does." was his reply. "He has been told so by many Americans since he left the Jungle. Europe Is full of our people and they are wildly enthusiastic about him. His reception In the cities of Europe is fairly astounding. I believe that if King Ewrad had visited Khartoum Jiis reception -would not have been any . more enthusiastic. Everywhere In Europe people are talking of Roose velt. Never mind who you engage in conversation his name comes Up In five minutes at the longest. In London I found It the same. The English people will give him a wonderful reception. No American has ever been greeted with.- such honors and enthusiastic greeting, not even Grant." "Do the western people want Roose velt?" he was asked. "They do. The whole west is for hlmY he replied. "We expected much tpf Mr. Taft and the west Is very much disap pointed. He has no following out In my country. In the west the high cost of living is being felt very,-very much. The Amerienn is a heart-eater. He opens a melon and eats only the heart of it. He won't stand for the rind. In Europe the people' live on husks. Our people can't and won't.!' Mr. Bonfils was asked If the capital ists of the west were afraid of Roose velt and his politics. "They are not," he replied. "Are financial ethics higher in the west than in the east?" he was asked. "No; they're just as bad," ' he said bluntly. "Wall street uses a better and sharper razor for the shearing, that Is the only difference." "- CONFESSED TO MURDER. Had Maintained. His Innocence ITntil the Last Minute.

(By Cable to The Times.) Vienna, April 15 Theodore Roose velt, accompanied by his son Kermit and Commander Longnaval attache at the Rome and Vienna embassies, arrived here this morning- from Ven ice. The former president plunged with little ado into the whirl of en tertainmentimperial audiences, re ceptions, banquets and visits mapp- . ed out for his forty-eight hour stay in this capital. Baron Hungelmuller, Austrian am bassador to the United States, who is now here on leave of absence, had been delegated to meet Mr. Roosevelt on the frontier. At the station here there was a crowd of dignitaries, including Ilerr Von Muller, principal secretary of the foreign office, present as govern-r menlt representative, municipal offl-; cers and Colonel Kerens Of St. Louis, the new ambassador from the United States, who arrived but a week ago.
