TAFT AND T. R. AT OUTS

Administration Said to Be Behind Deal Ignoring Teddy. Following the rebuff which th* New York state central commit tee administered to Colonel Roose velt in turning him down for th* temporary chairmanship of the con vention and selecting in his stead. Vice-President Sherman, it can be stated positively that Mr. Rooseveb. and Mr. Taft have broken. The action of the committee which Mr. Sherman characterized as a victory for the ad ministration, has hastened a break be tween the colonel and the president which had been expected a long time by those who have watched Mr. Roose ▼elt since his return from Africa There is no doubt of it now. The defeat of the direct nomination; bill took Woodruff to Beverly. H* talked with Mr. Taft It was then according to the same sources her* that the chairman promised the Nev York delegates for 1912 in return-so the backing of the administration h this state. Since that time Mr. Roose velt’s suggestion that a progressive platform in Ohio be adopted wa* ignored. His nephew, Theodore Doug las Robinson, was beaten at the pri maries for the congress nominatior frote -ci .r.ties* of Herkimer and Oneida. He was. whipped by the ma Chine with which Mr. Sherman has been iderified. 1 ■
