HILLES AND FLU
I
Taft Men Will Support Key
stone Ticket if Roosevelt
Electors Retire.
GOOD FAITH IS ASSUMED
Sole Objection to Roosevelt Man
ager's Pennsylvania. State Tick
et, Says Republican, Would
Thus ' Be Removed.
NEW YORK. Aug. I. Charles D.
HUies. chlrmn of the Republican Na
tional - Committee. Jsi-ued a utati'ment
today covering the alleged agreement
between Taft representative and Wil
liam Flinn. representing Colonel Roose
velt in Pennsylvania. Mr. Hilles said:
"We have received a proposition from
Jlr. Flinn In which ho has offered to
withdraw the Roosevelt electors from
the Republican ticket and substitute
Taft electors in their places. The offer
was made by Mr. Flinn io Philadelphia
last week to Henry G. Wasson. Re
publican state chairman, and William
T. Tllden. president of the Union
League Club of Philadelphia."
Mr. Hilles said, according to Mr.
Wasson. that Mr. Flinn said that Colo
nel Roosevelt at Chicago had placed
him in charge of matters in Pennsyl
vania and that he was willing to
erase the Roosevelt electors' names
and replace them with representative
Republicans who would vote for Presi
dent Taft. He said that before he
could do this he must obtain signatures
of a petition naming Roosevelt electors
on a Washington ticket.
"I assume that Mr. Flinn is able to
do this and that he will do it in good
faith." said Mr. Hilles. "Our only
objection to Flinn's Republican state
ticket now Is that It has the names
of Roosevelt men on it as electors.
With those removed, we would not op
pose any of the rest of the ticket."
FHXX WILL OT BE IX HASTE
Pennsylvanian Says- Outcome Will
liepend on What Penrose Does.
PITTSBURG. Aug. IS. "Regardless of
what Mr. Hilles or any of his asso
ciates think, we don't intend to Jeop
ardize the success of our ticket
through any undue haste," said William
Flinn today.
"Just wjiat we will do depends In a
large measure on the plan of Boies
Penrose to put an entirely new ticket
in the field in opposition to the Wash
ington ticket and the one regularly
nominated by the Republican state
convention.
"We don't feel that there would be
any use In having the Roosevelt elec
tors resign from the Republican ticket
if any such thing is attempted by
Penrose.

WILSON 10 TALK TODAY
GOVERNOR SAYS HE CAXXOT
PREPARE ADVANCE SPEECH.
It's Like "Cruelty to Animals" to
Take "Helpless stenographer"
and Talk to Him, He Says.
SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 28. Appllca
tion of the tariff policies of the three
political parties to the farmers will be
the subject Governor Wilson will dis
cuss tomorrow at the state urangers
nlf-nlf t Williams Grove. Pa.
The Governor today distributed ad
vance copies of a portion of his speech
which he dictated to a stenographer.
As he glanced over it today the re
sult did not satisfy him.
"You will see by reading this speech
that I cannot prepare one in advance,"
said the Governor.. "I have got to
have an audience and the warmth
that comes as 1 go along with my
speech. I can't take a- helpless sten
ographer and talk to him. It is like
cruelty to animals."
Louis D. Brandels, of Boston, had
luncheon with the Governor. Mr.
Brandels recently announced his sup
port of Governor Wilson. After the
luncheon he said Governor Wilson was
his Ideal of a "progressive.-
"We discussed social and political
problems." Mr. Brandels said, "and
naturally the Sherman anti-trust law.
We took up the La Follette-Lenroot
bill, the Oldfleld bill, and others, to
amend the Sherman law, but conclud
ed that none of these went far enough.
Governor Wilson is a constructive
statesman able to solve these problems,
and I found him in accord with my
view on the trust question. We talked
about the defects in the third party
Dlatform. It was a talk about tne
best interests of the worklngman."
A delegation of Italians from Essex,
N. Y.. through their spokesman, An
tonio Petroni. told the Governor that
those who had seen fit to criticise his
views on Immigration had made
mountain out of a mole hill." The
Governor In his response said:
"In my history I referred to condi
tions which did exist when I wrote,
and which afterward were corrected
by legislation. These abuses were
brought about mainly by steamship
companies attempting to force irami
gration. and I believe in legislation
that will correct all abuses. 1 am
learning all the time, and the chief
benefit of my present occupation is
that I am informing myself and en
larging my education. I hope to be at
it long enough to learn from people
like yourselves things as they really
are.
