Many Moose For Wilson.

New York, July 7.—Progressives in many parts of the country are refusing to follow Colonel Theodore Roosevelt into the Republican fold. Indications that many members of the third party will vote for Wilson abound in letters and telegrams received by Bainbridge Colby. Mr. Colby’s stand at the meeting of the Progressive national committee in Chicago, when he protested against “delivering” the Progressive party to the Republican nominee, has resulted in making him a leader of the irreconcilable element in the Progressive organization. Progressives of this type are bombarding Mr. Colby with messsages asking him for advice and urging him to assume the leadership of the party.
