Chicago, June 26. (U. P.) The
Progressive national committee late
this afternoon defeated, 31 to 15, a
plan to nominate Victor Murdock of
Kansas for the presidency. Defeat of
Murdock was believed to have elimi
nated any possibility of a Progressive

riotous scenes at the meeting of the I
Progressive national committee this
afternoon, Victor Murdock of Kansas
was placed in nomination for the pres

Buinbrldge Colby of New York.
Colby's action followed the commit
tee's decision to accept Colonel Roose
velt's declination of the Progressive
nomination as final. It was Colby who
nominated Roosevelt at the Progres
sive convention.
Murdock's nomination was seconded
by Judge Norton! of St. Louis.
Consent Wot Granted.
Raymond Robins, who was chairman
of the convention, leaped to his feet.
"Have you Murdock's consent to
run?" he asked.
"No, but 1 haven't his refusal either,"
said Colby.
Robins then shouted at Colby: "Isn't
it true that you have pledged support
to Woodrow Wilson?"
Colby said he hadn't, and that any
body who said he had was a liar.
"I thiik you have," Robins said.
The jommittee was In a turmoil.
James Garfield of Ohio got the floor
and sought to convince the committee
against nomination of Murdock.
