FID A DEFEAT OLD GUARD TRIES FOR RESOLUTIQnS Effort Will De Made to Capture that Important Com- , mittee at the New York Republican Convention. DARNES REFUSES TO . RUN UP WHITE FLAG Still Claims that Sherman Will Be Named for the Chairmanship Instead of the Doughty Colonel. .

(American News Srvl.) m.w mm v a m m iw sors aepu r actus au and possible disintegration, the Old Guard lo New York state was reported today to be gradually transferring Its heaviest guna from the fight on the temporary chairmanship of the repub lican convention to the department of the committee on resolutions, which will draw up the state platform. Although statistics based upon known sentiment and open indorsement give Col Roosevelt 540 votes In the convention, according to the figures of the progressive leaders, the Colonel himself predicted that he would have over 100 majority in the convention. The progressives allow Vice President Sherman 467 votes in their calculations, counting the remaining eight as doubtful. on the fight for the chairmanship as already won but William Barnes Jr., commander-in-chief of the reactionaries, still clings to his claims that Mr. Sherman will have a majority and will be chairman. However, leader Barnes hinted today that the bitter fight in the convention would not be waged alone upon the chairmanship. Tiki Lively Time. The committee on resolutions is going to see something lively," said Ma Barnes. "I want to reiterate my wish that the colonel and myself are both appointed to this committee.'' Proceeding upon the assumption that bis wishes will prevail In the convention. Col. KooMvelt has already outlined the plan of action. Here are the salient points of his progrsm: There will be no slate. The platform will be drawn up by the committee on resolutions and there will be no tentative platform be fore the convention meets. There will be a roll call of the delegates; that every man will have to go on record as to hla vote for tern porary chairman. President Taft's administration will be Indorsed. ; The fact that the progressives will Insist upon an official roll call indi cates that the convention hall will be the scene of bitter factional contro versy. On Eve of Crisis. Mr. Barnes declared that the republican party of New York is on the eve of a crisis more serious than the voters realise. The Impassioned appeal made to the Albany county elec tors by Mr. Barnes Indicated one line of attack which may play an important part in the convention. The prediction was made today that the old guard had selected its most compelling orators to speak before the convention. In the pandemonium of excitement these men will, attempt to sway the progressive delegates into a bolt through the very passion of their appeal, according to the plan which bas been hinted at. In this case ora tory promises to play an Important part ELECTRICIANS MEET ' (American News Service.) Indianapolis. Ind- Sept. 23.

BRYAN IS CALLED BOLTER OF PARTY BY STATE LEADER Judge Batt of Terre Haute, an

Ardent Democrat, Reads the Title of the Deposed Party Dictator. INVITATION TO BRYAN " IS CALLED A MISTAKE Sterling Holt of Indianapolis, Another Prominent Man, Says that Bryan Will Injure Democracy. (Palladium Speclary . Indianapolis, Sept. 23. Judge Char les Batt, presiding over tbe clty court of Terre Haute who was In Indianapolls Thursday, one of the most sin cere and ardent democrats in Indi ana, Is, unfortunately for his cause, not the most enthusiastic The reason is, his disgust over the plan of the democratic state committee to permit William Jennings Bryan to open his mouth on ten different occasions in Indiana, and his natural contempt for a bolter. A democrat of the stripe that never fades, is Judge Batt and when Bryan was mentioned to him, he could contain himself no longer. "I must confess the advent of Bryan since he bolted the head of the state ticket will meet with distinct disfavor among many democrats." he declared. "I, myself, have no use for a bolter and for him to come into Indiana as a protagonist in the play this year will look bad for those who believe democratic victory can only be achieved with united, hard work and loyalty all through. His act was a foolish one, and, much as I deplore it, the effect cannot but be felt in Indiana if he poses here as a democratic champion. I cannot see that he has done much good in Indiana on his previous campaign visits. No doubt it was a mistake to bring him Into the campaign here." - Sterling Holt's Views. 'Sterling Holt, a wealthy and prominent Marion county democrat, has also expressed the opinion that Bryan will do democracy in Indiana more harm than good. Democrats, as a rule, are not blaming the state committee much for the situation which has been brought about by Bryan's rejection of Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, democratic candidate for governor, although a few speak of it as a tactical error and hint that the bantering which came from the republican camp was a ruse which actually caused him to be in vited, as it 'the democrats were tak ing a dare. Most, however, believe the democratic committee was sincere in Its belief that Bryan would do some good. There was no way for them to anticipate his bolting the ticket. Despite he was blue over Bryan, Judge Batt said he believed the demo crats would sweep Vigo county, al though he could not speak for the Fifth district He said the republi cans are split into ten different factions, and, of course, intimated the democrats are together. A Lamb Lieutenant. Judge Batt is the man who engineer ed campaigns for John E. Lamb. He did not mention anything concerning the Independent democratic club of Vigo county which Is believed to be backed by Crawford Fairbanks and to be held as a big stick over Lamb's head. Although there is a possibility of conditions having changed, the statement of Crawford Fairbanks at the time of the democratic state convention persists in being recalled. "John Lamb's got things fixed up so Vigo will go republican, he said. T like Al Beverldge and we all like Al Beveridge.' Comes a sound like escaping steam when one of the most dramatic mo ments of that historic convention is recalled. Is there any chance of for getting that moment when, in spite of all who sat upon the safety valve, there rose from the ranks of Crawford Fairbanks and Taggart's men a hiss ing which lasted four and a half min utes and which virtually drove John E. Lamb from the platform? Aye, deplore the deeds of Bryan, for he ii far away, and when be does come he Is shorn of his power. But as for democratic unity in Vigo and vicinity let's dont talk about the aw ful subject. WANT DEEPER RIVER (American News Service.) Cincinnati, O Sept. 23.
