AMBITION NOW TO BE LEADER OF "PROGRESSIVES" (Continued From FITst rage.) support of the bulk of the Repub? licans In tho Western States, and that he would expoet to derived consider? able strength from the Democrats, lie would not oxpress any opinion how soon after the adjournment of tho present convention the new party would he formed, should such a rt< - clsion be reached. .Whether rt would be held In Chicago or elsewhere, and whether It would be delayed until ut? ter the Democratic National Conven? tion, were points upon what no in? formation could be obtained from those In the confidence of the former President The opinion was expressed by some of 1:1s supporters that tho outcome at Baltimore would have a considerable bearing upon the situa? tion. Opinions Diner.: Co'.onel Roosevelt paid there haft Veen some difference of opinion umong his supporters as to th^ advisability of bolting. Tne Ohio delegates, he said, felt that under their instructions they should remain in the convention until after the nomination wns made. ' ? 'tiier 'leics.-v*?>. Including some of those from California, were In favor of withdrawing at once. The jagreemetit Anally arrived ut was reached at a caucus In which were two representatives from each of the States having Roosevelt dele gales, as well as those States from -which the Roosevelt candidates for ?eats in the conven/tflon have been! excluded. Decline to Br Round. "The caucus passed unanimously n' resolutloh Introduced by Hen-ry Allen.] ? f Kar,sr.?." said Colonel Roosevelt in explaining the situation. "This reso? lution was to the effect that the Re-1 publican party would not submit to' having the nomination for President determined by theft, and If the con? vention declined to seat the delegates! fraudulently unseated by the national; committee. the Roos?velt delegates would decline to be bound by any na? tion of the convention. "A second resolution was passed later stipulating that tho Roosevelt' oMegnte? would take pu t In the con-1 ventlon if the seventy-eight delegates tr which we are entitled were seated, and if they were not seated they would! remain In the convener, and not par-j tlclpate In it." Colonel Roosevelt explained that the relegates reserved the right to take: what course they preferred as to leav? ing the convention. Roosevelt leaders; snid that it was the unanimous deel-. tlc;i of their men that they would net quit the hall. They will remain in their seats while tho Taft program Is Velr.g carried through, they said, and when the convention Is over will con-j tinue to hold th*Ir seats and proceed to e.Tect their own orgatilr.atton. Will Mipport No Compromise. Colonel Roosevelt made it plain that' he would not support any compromise candidate nominated by the convention: as at present constituted. He defined! t.. make any statement in regard to Governor Hadley or any other indivi? dual, confining himself to an explnr.a-, lion of his general pc-sit'on. "Any man nominate*, by this con- ' ventlon r.s now competed." he reiter? ated, "will not be tolerated by tho! ROosevelt de'.egafs." No ?ief.r.lte statement could be ob talned from the Roosevelt leaders as to the number of delegates they be? lieved would support this program. They expressed confidence that there would bo no serious defections. It was expected that or.e of the chief reasons e>f th?* P.ooscvt-lt dele- 1 gaits for deciding not to withdraw I from the convention was th* action token to-day by the rul's committee, which wo-ild enable tn% national com? mittee to fil". seats vacated by other: f. <?'.-gates. The p'.&r. of eetlor. adopted by the Roosevelt !end?rs is an abrupt change from tv? position which was taken by Colonel Roosevelt and his ?-losest associates yesterday, but they denied to-night that it was an admission of weakness <~i their pset or trial their decision not to bolt was because the" could not obtain the strpport of a ?ufSf.er.t r-v.mber of rVl'gatea. Holt Talk Foolish. Afterr-tr'f.ioT^l Roosevelt had per- \ tir.ol!'/ ?i'ff*. the tense situation of the sfterrnoon he had among his callers Governor Ktubbs. Of Kansas. When the Governor had lel*t the con f< rer.c? room he. too, announced that "there will be no bolt." "This talk of a boTt t? foolish.") Eh id Governor Slubbs "Colonel Roole* ; velt never h.-is mention**! the sub- j Ject of a holt." Afrer the late ,'afJ^?Tnoon confer? ence In the Florentine roe.m of the Congress .Hotel, where the Roosevelt; Stets delegations and campaign lead era counselled together, this format? statement was issued from Campaign ] Manager Dixon's headquarters. "The Roosevelt delegates decided ! *.'.?>? -hey will not T'*r:n'.t the title to! the 7>reji'.dency of the X'niterl .St/tea to , be sieden.

"We will go int?, the convei tlpn and fight :t out, and In the end Colonel RooseVelt will be, nominated," said Governor Stubb*. after the night cau? cus was over. "Governe;r ?
