COL. ROOSEVELT IS SILENT

Col. Roosevelt Refuses to Discuss Situation on Receiving News. Oyster Bay, Nov. 9. —Silence, that’s the word; absolute, double riveted. Not a word has Mr. Roosevelt to say. In fact he refused to be seen. Mr. Roosevelt may give out a statement later on, but even that is doubtful. He fought a losing fight, and he went into it with grave fears as to the outcome. He declared positively that he would not give up, but that he would carryon the battle for progressive Republicanism In this state and everywhere else, because that is the only thing he could do. He thought that he had done all he could.
