WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED.
Roosevelt's Attitude Toward New
York Leaders Not Altered.
New York. Aug. 23. Before starting
on his speechmaking tour this morn
ing Colonel Itoosevelt Issued a state
ment concerning the letter which Pres
ident Taft sent to Lloyd C. Grlscom
repudiating Vice President Sherman.
Mr. Itoosevelt said that his imsltlon hi
regard to the state situation is definite
and that he has nothing to change In
It. The colonel declared that since the
meeting there has been no reason why
he should meet the state leaders and
that their action at the meeting has
mnde the situation such that It allows
no compromise. He could not tell how
far the situation will be changed by
the president's letter.
From what the colonel said It is
Unlikely that ho will attend the con
vention unless he Is forced to do so.
He has told his friends right nlong
thnt he wanted to keep out because
be did not desire to get mixed up In a
faction fight. He considered thnt
Sherman as temporary chairman
would make that stand necessary, but
he may change his mind later. 'What
ever action he does take will not be
announced until nfter his return from
his western trip.
President Taft not only had no hand
in the trickery at the meeting of tUe
Republican state committee last Tues
day when the YVard-Woodrulf-Barnes-
Wadsworth combination succeeded In
having a motion adopted naming Vice
President Sherman ns the temporary
chnlrman of tho Republican state con
vention In place of Colonel Roosevelt,
but In a letter received by Chairman
Grlscom of the Republican county com
mittee, it was made plain that Mr.
Taft insisted that before any choice
was made by the committee Mr. Roose
velt should be consulted.
Mr. Roosevelt was not consulted. In
order to carry out their promise to the
president, Mr. Ward and Mr. Rarnes.
it Is true, did meet Mr. Roosevelt by
appointment In the Manhattan hotel,
but that was nn hour after the meet
ing of the state committee. Mr. Taft
over the long distance telephone and
by means of telegraph messages hud
expressly told the leaders of the regu
lars, us the Woodruff-Barnes combina
tion like to call themselves, that If
there was any disaffection likely to
arise at the meeting his name was
not to be used and that on the con
trary, iu tho Interests of harmony, he
wished that the members of the state
committee should consult before tho
meeting with Mr. Grlscom mid Mr.
Roosevelt.
Mr, Grlscom after the meeting on
Tuesday stated that Mr. Taft had told
him that he would do nothing which
would seem to apply mitngoulsm to
Mr. Roosevelt, nnd Mr. Grlscom states
further that ho was sure that the state
ments made by Mr. Woodruff, Mr.
Rarnes and the others who led the
movement for the choice of Mr. Sher
man that their action had leeu sanc
tioned by Mr. Tuft was entirely with
out foundation. When Mr. Woodruff
Just nfter the meeting was told what
Mr. Grlscom had said the state
chairman insinuated that Mr. Grlscom
ought to be enrolled ns n member of
the Ananias club.
Tho letter written by Mr. Taft to
Mr. Grlscom shows that there was no
such understanding, and It shows
further that there ure good grounds
for tho charge made by Mr. Hart
that Mr. Sherman suppressed a tele
gram ho had received from Mr. Taft,
tho telegram being a suggestion that
nothing should be done at tho meet
Ing of the commltteo without first con
ferring with Mr. Roosevelt.

Chicago, Aug. 23. Vice President
Sherman is to take tho, stump in 1111

Keep Cool by Going to the
