Qutlook Umpromising Crisis in the Chicago Convention is Expected Soon Utter Scenes of Disorder Mark red by Delegates and Feeling Runs high . the Gathering Pers: Third Candidate, or Seems Imminent. A third candidate, a bolt trom the present convention and the forming) of a second convention right in the Coliseum, seem to be the main topic for discussion at the Republican Na- tional Conv ntign. Some terrible scenes were witnessed at the meet- ing yesterday, personalities of all kinds were hurled at one faction by the other, blows were threatened, and all kinds of stunts and pranks pulled off. The Roosevelt followers seem to be trying to block the convention. 'A crisis is expected,and the fecl- ing seems, tote that it will arrive either in the shape of a third candl date, or a bolt of the Roosevelt dele- gates and the forming of a second con- vention. Opinion seems to run that if such happens fhat it may prove a death blow to the Republican party. It would mean a split and Ta t heading the Republicans and Roosevelt the Progressives, as they are naming themselves, would make the outlook for the Democratic party an extra bright one. (W. A. P. Dispateh.) Chicago, Ti, June 20. At 10.30 clock this morning, Col. Roosevelt released his delegates from obliga tlons ti support him. He will not withdraw-from the fight. This statement was made by ex-Gov. associate of Col. Roosevelt. (W.A P, Dispateh) Chicago, Ill., June 20. Delay, un- certainty and possible: serious disor- der faced the delegates as the third day of the National Republican con- vention opened. ye ; The quick snecession of-2vents late last night and early this morning left things in absolute confusion.

Crowding developments in the coun clis of leaders and. behind conference room doors outside of the convention hall, only partly seen and understood by -the body: of delegates, threw nor- mally balanced men into a state of near hysteria during which they wore, shouted and gesticulated until quieted by interference of policemen. Pending the outcome of the wneer Yainty, the members of various com- mittees. selected by the convention, postponed their me tings and much delay resulted In this connection The committees planned to resume their work when developments arose that required attention. Namerous reports regarding the probable trend of the convention ses- sions today were in circulation. These were of almost every possible na One, however, which was general and which Was given credence by many of the delegates, was that the con- yentlon-would be atnoon- Immediately adjourned until o'clock in the eve- ning for the purpose of giving time for the entire situation to reshape it- the wisest of party stratenists-did not Beginning at one o'clock sharp, the) afternoon of the holiday will be given to sports of all sorts games, - foot racing, jumping, etc. These will take place in the City Park on the north side of the river.

The. chief events will be as follows: Good Line of Events with Excellent Prizes for July ist Now Completed The Officials. The course to be taken by Taft and his followers was heatedly debated. Some professing to hold inside in- formation of the plans of the Roose- velt. forces, insisted that Col. Roose- velt would lead his followers to an- other hall or auditorium to. reorgan- iz a new, distinct convention and a new party. Others declared with equal vehemence that the Roosevelt contingent would emain in the Col- iseum and attempt to hold a second or 3rd convention on the same floor with the Tatt people. When the credentials committee assembled this morning to take up the contests, the Roosevelt men unexpectedly appeared to take part in the proceedings. A big crowd of delegates beseiged the Rooseyelt headquarters this morn- ing waiting to see the colonel, He was closeted with Governor John- son of California, Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, Everet Colby of New Jer- sey, and James R. Garendal, and was not to be seen. A flood of gossip with a third can- didate as the solution-of the situation swept the convention men. Governor Hadley of Missouri was xenerally mentioned in this connection was reported that Hadley, following his long conferences, spent an hour in consultation with ident Fairbanks. The roll call showed the follow- ing Roosevelt men absent: Heany, of California; McCormack, Illinois; Har- ris, Kansas; Covington, Marylan Cowes, North Carolina; Newton, Ok- lshoma; Ray, South Dakota; Cady, Wisconsin. Mr, Halbert declared that) seven of the men who left the room Mast night wefe still absent. He ask- ed for a delay until they arrived. FLASH Chicago, June 20. Roose- Yelt denies having released delegates. Chairman Devin said the meeting hour already had been. long passed and that contestants were ready and waiting-to be heard. Geo. R.

Missouri's Nebraska and Kansas were goon in noise, fairly under way The first. great ovation was they went to it. from his place on front of the stage and stood beside Mr, Root and Mr. Watson. With ono hand on the table he smiled and the convention fell nto line, Down. the big hall came the procession, yell ing, shrieking amd trying to sing, took three men to carry each of the heavy standards which had been es- pecially weighted to prevent such demonstration; Some California dele- gates ag they went by tho speaker stand, called out, We want Teddy A stalwart Kansas delegate, carr ing the standard of that State, tried to thrust ft upon the platformm, but d le- gates brought the standard with Its big iron base up in front of the speak- er s stand and didia grizzly hear dance, pushed on by other delegates.

Massaebiisetts people tus- ged at the circle for ten minutes and then broke it, The New York dele- gates climbed onthe chairs when the demonstration bad been In progress seventeen minutes, but they did so to observe and not to take part. Over in the Kansas delegation a deep throaty yell punctured the Convention. We want Teddy, We want Tedd came the cail, and developed into a deep roaring chant that rose above the hubbub of sound, California s bear surmounted the pole and joined: the parade and the mass of delegates hoisted a big black hat on thelr standard. During the demonstration, Barnes, of New York, said: I'm not afsturb- ed; reason eventually will be re- stored. Mrs, Roosevelt Longworth, from her seat near the press stand, stood up when the demonstration began and looked out over the sea of waving hands. She turned and spoke to Con- gressman Longworth And he rose al- so. Mrs. Longworth showed no ex- citement over the demonstration.

General Situation. With the split between the Taft and National convention having at last renehed the point where a definite threatening bolt had been made, many of the panic stricken delegates in the ty turned desperately today to the task of stirring wp sentiment for a compromise candidate, Justice Hugh- es-of-the-Supreme Court and-Gorer nor Hadley of Missouri, were the: names under consideration. Practically all ot the compromise candidates came from the Roosevelt forces. There was evidence early to- day of an early complete disintegra- tion of the Roosevelt forces. It ap- peared to be fighting desperately. The Colonel's quarters were Besieged by a mass of his followers and dele- gates seeking advice. The conference of last night had convinced the Roosevelt leaders that comparatively few of their delegates would accept the Republican party. It looks as though the bottom has dropped out of the thing, said a number of the Roosevelt council -to- day. Serious dissensions exists in the Roosevelt campaign, many of the Teaders were frank in theif declara- tion that:Col: Roosevelt had acted too hastily in a number of matters In com Ing to Chicago and precipitated a bolt from the committee on credentials last night. It was also stated that there was likely to be a very material modification of the Roosevelt pro- gramme today. The more conservat- ive members of the faction swept from their feet in the surging desire of the radicals. The California delegates met this morning and prepared a resolution announcing its withdrawal from the: convention. The delegates said-they would not be bound by the-action of a lot of thieves.

She stood waiving the picture in one hand and a handker- chiet in the other, smiling all the while. Finally she dropped the pic- ture, But many of the eyes that turn- ed her way lost none of their interest when the Roosevelt likeness di peared, The girl herself was a suffi- cient treat. Then some one found the picture and returned it to her and the cheering which had died away for the instant was renewed. The California Teddy Bear standard and several State standards were carried to her side, Reporters made a rush to find out who she was. It was Mrs. W. A.
