Republicans Are Confronted With a Curiously Complex Political Situa tion Taft to Confer With New York State Leaders Tonight. WORLD DECLARES BREACH COMES TAFT AND HITCHCOCK Said That Roosevelt Will Consent ts Become a Candidate "If Drafted." - f NEW YORK, Jnn. 20. "Tell the editors of tho coun try to set up this phrase: "'I have nothing to say.' "Whenever they nre nnxious to quote or interview me on political subjects they may use thnt and thut nlone. I havo nothing' to say on this or any other political mutter." This was the statement of former President Roosevelt on leaving his office in tho Out look today for Sagamore Hill when reporters nsked him his opinion of tho Cummins presi dential candidacy announce ment. l -f-f-f -f4-f -f NEW YORK, Jnn. 20. With Presi dent Taft, Senator La Folletto and Senator iCummins of Iowa openly in the field and evidence hourly growing that Theodoro Roosevelt nlso is to bo a enndidate for the presidential nomination, republicans here ludav nre confronted with a onrionslv cam. plex political situatipn. President Taft will arrive hero to night from New Haven nnd probably will confer with New York stnto lend ers of the old guard. Colonel Roose velt is today at his office here for the first Saturday in mnny months. His presence in the city is belioved to bo significant, in view of tho declara tion of ox-Governor Fort of New Jer sey nnd Everett Colbv. nlso oP Nnw Jersey, who, after a visit to Roose velt, declared the former nres dent can be expected soon to admit that ne wilt be a candidate, "if drafted." Cummins' announcement of his candidacy is taken to indiente thnt ho is convinced that the ndministrntion' crip upon tho southern dcWates is breakable. He expects it free for nil tight in the convention. Tho New York World declares to day that n breach has come between Tnft nnd Postmaster GenernI Hitch cock, "following tho discovery that Hitchcock was lining un the southern delegates so that thoy can be used if needed" against Tnft. When tho story was called to tho nresident's nttontion at New Haven he refused to make any comment. Iho stnndpnt olemont todav is elat ed ovor Senator Cummins' announce ment. In discussing it, Wnltor Hous or, Washington mnnager of La Fol letto's presidential campaign, said: "In his announcement Senntor Cum mins purposes to become n favonto son enndidate.
