PAGE EIGHT THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1912. TD Will NflTfllllT I. II. if ILL I1UI yuil i None Will Abandon Gause He Declares. CONFERS WITH SUPPORTERS. Says That Call For Convention Likely Will Be Mode Monday To Notify Provisional Committee by Tele graph Makes Light of Osborn Desertion, Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 4. All re ports thnt the bnckcrs of the third party hail weakened anil were about to withdraw their support were em phatlcally denied by Colonel Boose velt. "Not one of them," he said, "hns the slightest Idea of abandoning the cause." This statement was made after a loug conference with the Inner circle of the Roosevelt leaders. Those pref out were Frank A. Muusey, Senator William FUnn of Pennsylvania, Sena tor Joseph M. Dixon. U. A. Vun Yaik enburg, the I'hlladelpbui editor, and George V. I'erkius. After a prellmi nary meeting In New York they came down together for luncheon at Sana more lllll and spent some time Willi the colonel, putting the tlnlshliii; touches to the plans which have been prepared for the new organization and for the new Chicago convention in August Colonel Roosevelt said that although the call for the conventiuu was practically ready he did xutt be lieve It would be possible to have the call out by tonight "In fact" uu added, "I think Mon day will probably be the day, for sonic twenty members of the provi sional committee will be unable to be present In New York, uud It will be necessary to put the matter up to them by telegraph." The question of tho exact name of the new party has created some con fusion. Manager Dixon Is Inclined to allude to it as the National party. The colonel himself had evidently not giv en the problem of a name much thought "You can search me,' he replied to an Inquiry. "Progressive is the name that Is best known. But national pro gressive is also a good one." Lt is be lieved that the latter name will be used in tho convention call. The statement of Governor Chase Osborn of Mlehigsin, one of his original "seven little governors," indorsing the Wilson candidacy and denying the ne cessity of n third party, was waved aside by the colonel with a careless smile. "There Isn't anything new about that" he said. "I did not expect him to stick. We looked for secessions like Hndley's and Osborn's Into the Re publican fold on one side and into tho Democratic on tho other." GIRL DEAD IN AUTO CRASH. Ex-Governor Stokes' Father a Victim.

SEE WILSON TODAY New National Committee Galls on Nominee. TO NAME MACK'S SUCGESS0R William F. McCombs Talked of ai Chairman Committee Hears Greene O'Shaughnessy Row and Again Decides That Claim of Latter Hasn't Any Merit Baltimore, July 4. Nearly every del cgatc to the Democratic national con vention has left the city. The only Democrats visible on the horizon wore members of the national committee who were still held in Baltimore bo cause of their meeting. Tho meeting of the new comniltd-o turned out to be smooth and harmonious except for one brief period when an attempt was made to revive tho Greeno-O'Shaugh-nessy controversy over a seat In the uatlonal committee. This Is a Ithode Islnnd row. Ordinarily, the new chairman of the national committee Is chosen nt the meeting immediately following the election of thu candidates for presi dent and vice president Tho com mittee, however, decided that the oflicers of tho old committee should hold over in a temivorary capacity until tho permanent oflicers were named. This action was taken so as to give Woodrow Wilson und Thomas Mar shall, tho candidates, an opportunity to express their wishes lu regard to the olllcers of the committee Wilson to Name Chairman. A subcommittee of seven wus ap pointed to wait upon Governor Wilson and Governor Marshall and ascertain their wishes In regard to tills matter. Governor Wilson will, in fact, uame tlio new chairman of the national com mittee to succeed Norman E. Mack. There Is no doubt hero that William F. McCombs, who managed tile gover nor's precnvontlon campaign and steered his boom to victory nt Balti more, will be named to run the na tional campaign. Tho entire new com mittee will visit Sea Girt today and congratulate Governor Wilson ou his nomination. The Greeno-O'Shaughnessy row was hot while it lasted. George S. Greene is the national committeeman from Khode Island. George F. O'Shaugh nessy was his opponent on tho state primary. Following the election O'Shaugb nessy charged that Greeno had been chosen fraudently. He filed the writ ten protest with the subcommittee of the national committee and his fight was later carried to tho committee on credentials. Both of these bodies sustained Greene. When the temporary roll of tho new committee was being called today O'Shaughnessy arose and protested against tho seating of Greeno. Chair man Mnclc, banging his gavel fiercely, said ho saw no good In reopening old sores. There was a lot of bickering nnd Greeno arose and said that if there was any necessity of reopening the case he hoped lt would be done at once. Finally a motion was made that O'Shaughnessy's case be dismissed. It was carried unanimously nnd the com mittee departed with O'Shaughnessy still protesting. MEMORY FEAT OF BLIND MAN.
