It wan eald yesterday by one of Col.
lloosevclt'H closest friends that the for
mer Plesldent would bave at least Uliu
delegates In the ltcpuhllc.iu liatlou.il
convention. These, hn said, would bo
either out and out Itoosevclt men or
men who would turn to him and stick
to him after casting the first few bal
lots for other candidates. Thla observer
of polltlrs and worker for tho Colonel
said that Col. Itooseve't could rely on
a majority of the men In each of the
delegations so far phdged to Si'tiator
Albert I). Cummins. He .tiro said that
the drift toward Justice Hughes hi mini
Instanced was a boost for the Colonel.
In the past month, Hiiro the Hughes
boom took dellnltu shape, astonishing
reports have come from certain West
ern States as to tho sudden decline In
sentiment for Hoosevelt. Such States
as Colorado. Missouri, Minnesota, Mich
igan, Kansas, Nebraska, Arlioua, Okla
homa and others where the Colonel has
heretofore been popular are represented
ns having turned from hlni. The Hughes
sentiment has grown upace, according
to these reports. Col. Itoosevelt'a ad
herents here say that this Is all a liart
of the scheme to make It Impossible for i
the Republican national convention to
take any one else except Hooscvolt. They
expect lo see Fairbanks. Ilurton, llorah .
and Cummins fall by the wayside after
the first few ballots, this to be followed
by an advancement of the Hughes room.
