Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will go to Chicago if "the IP-publican convention desires nie to address It." Tills he umiotinred today In a reply mode to the invitJitioii he received Last night from Senator William 11. Jackson, of Mary land, staking him to conic to Chicago. Tlie colonel declared in hi* answer that he hoped t>otJi the Republicans and Ppogrwwlvc* who, if elected, would place thin nation where It be. longs by making It true to Itself and therefore true to all mankind." Prvsldent Wilson, he sold "had rendered ' to this people the most evil service that can l>? rendered to n grout democracy." Col, Roosevelt said that "the dlf ferencen that have divided not merely Republican* and Progressives but gi>od American* of nil political beliefs sink into nothing when comparwl to the issues now demanding decisions, the Issues of unllled Americanism and national preparedness." Col. IhKisevelt further declared that "In the face of the uwful world cataclysm till* uation hus stood supine and helpless," and that "no excuse now made by those responsible for this inaction is entitled to serious consideration.

Victor Murdoch, chairman of the Progressive national committee, summed up the whole situation when he said today: "Well, w* left the door open nnd the Republicans don't seem to he coming in." That was the Progressive leader's reply to Inquiries a:< t.? whether thoro remained any prospect for harmony nnd whether there was likely to be appointed today conference committees representing both parties to rcceive and pass upon p<ace ; uggestlons. Pence Talk Discounted. Republican leaders too discounted I the success of the pence talk, saying that action had been delayed for so long that a majority of the Republican delegates already havo decided to proceed without regard for any third party und nominate Justice j Hughes, to n horn the most support has been gathered. There are some among the Progressives and some among Roosevelt Republicans as well who still believe the colonel could save the day if he would come to Chicago. Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, who was defeated for Republican delegate at large from Massachusetts on a Roosevelt ticket pleaded with Progressive leaders to bring Colonel Roosevelt on without delay. Word came from Oyster Bay, however, that Roosevelt had received the telegram from Republican National Committeeman Jackson, of Maryland, sent yesterday urging him to come here In the Interest of harmony. While the colonel announced It was not his present Intention to aecept the Invl-j 1 tation. he would make public his rel ply later and ho did not indicate what its tenor would be.
