Chicag0 III. June 20. With tha main convention at a standstill be-
cause of th0 inability of the credentials committee to present its report;
with the Roseevlt fore's conferring and apparently disorganized and the
Taft Partisans watching for their next move the nalional convention af-
ter a four minutes' noon session thi afternoon marked time.
Taft's leader Watson said the convention would reconvene at four
o'clock that If Roosevelt appeared he would be g'ven an opportunity lo
speak after which adjournment would be taken until tomorrow. The con.
vention may not e able to finish this week.
Chicago III. June 20. That the people have already nominated Rose-
velt and that he and his follower will not recognize the convention as
regular unles the Hadley motion to oust the evenly-eight delegates is
adopted was the declaration f Theodore Roosevelt this afternoon.
The California delegation announced its withdrawal from the conven-
tion and said it would no1 be bound by the action of a "lot of thieves."
Chicago III. June 20. Roosevelt
at 10:30 released his delegates from
all obligations 4o support him. He
will not withdraw from the fight.
Today serious dissentions existed In
the Roosevelt camp. Leaders admit-
ted 'that the colonel acted too has-
tily la coming to Chicago and In
advising a bolt in the credentials
committee.
Half an hour after the aunuoce.
ment by Regis Post Roosevelt's
friend that the colonel had released
his delegates it was announced from
the Roosevelt headquarters that the
colonel had denied releasing them.
Many Roosevelt leaders however
proceeded on the theory that the
delegates hare been released.
The statement issued by Roosevelt
and at first interpreted to mean that
the delegates were released said in
part:
"The time has come when I teel
that . I must-make a statement. I
iwent into this fight for certain
great principles. At this moment I
can only serve these principles by

The organization committee voted
22 to 7 to make the temporary or
ganizatioa permanent.
The convention was called to or
der at 13:02. After four minutes
the convention adjourned untH 4
o'clock this afternoon.
When the conveitno opened the
eoudltlons on theoutslde of the col
iseum approached a riot. After the
four minutes wait while the con-
vention was in session the fourteen
thousand persons who had stood in
line waiting to get in had only to
go home.
The rumor that Roosevelt would
address the convention at 4 o'clock
this afternoon caused hundreds to
remain in their seats.
A motion to seat the Roosevelt del-
egates from the ninth Alabama dis-
trict was defeated in the credentials
committee by a ovte of 30 to 14. The
Taft delegates from the ninth Ala-
bama district were also seated by the
credentials committee.

Uncertainty Everywhere.
Chicago III. June 20. Delay un-
certainty and possible serious disor-
der faced the delegates at the open-
ing of the third day of the republican
convention. With Roosevelt calling
on his followers to disregard the cre-
dentials committee and organize for
themselves and the Taft leaders con-
ferring with friends and a possible
third candidate the air was electric
with suggestions.
Members of the committee post-
poned meetings until developments
show what they are expected to deal

tion would meet at noon and adjourn

until eight to give the Roosevelt sit-
uation time to re-shape itself.
Some said that Roosevelt would
lead his followers to another hall and
organize a new convention and a new
party. Others said he would attempt
to hold a secoud convention at col
iseum. It was pointed out that in the
latter event It; ot might call the po-
police and eject the Roosevelt men
thus emitting serious disorder. It was
stated this morn lag that Roosevelt
would go in person to the convention
today . .
Slate leader insisted that neither
Missouri North Dakota Iowa Illinois
nor Wisconsin would favor a bolt and
it was repeatedly asserted that
Roosevelt could not control over two
hundred delegates on a bolt.
Tbe indications before the conven
tion opened today were many that
the day might produce developments
in a third candidate direction.

members of the committee on cre-

Col. Roosevelt "will holt the repub

afternoon and organize such pro-
gressive republicans as will follow
him if the credentials committee
seats the Taft contesting delegates
from Texas Washington and sev-
eral other states provided he car-
ried out his present program which
was given the finishing touches to
day at a conference between the col
onel and a few trusted advisers
including George W. Perkins and
George B. Cortelyou.
Those three chief developments
in this momentous situation in the
republican party are logical outcome
of tbe action of tbe national con-
vention today when it rejected by
a vote of 564 to 610 the main Roo-
sevelt - contention that the ninety-
two delegates whose credentials . are
challenged shall not be permitted to
vote on the -credentials committee
report which will deal with their
cases.
