Y., May 2S.-The most Important political conference in which Colonel Roosevelt has participated since tho close of the campaign of 1913 was held at Sagamore Hill tonight It brought together representatives of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, In which states the colonel probably will do his hardest fighting this fall. At tha meeting were George W. Perkins of Now York, chairman of tho executive committee of the progressive national commlttoe; Walter Brown of Ohio, mem ber of the national committee; Olfford, Plnchot, progressive candidate for United States senator from Pennsylvania, and E. A, Van Vatkenberg of Philadelphia, one of the foremost figures In the af fairs of the party In that state. It was decided definitely that the ten tative plans for Colonet Roosevelt's cam paign trip from the Atlantlo to the Pa cific should be adopted. This tour prob ably will take the former president into almost every state of the union. AVI 11 Stamp for Johnson. This decision was reached when Colonel Roosevelt sent word to Governor Hiram Johnson of California, his running mate in 1912, that he was going to California next fall to stump the state for him In his campaign for re-election. After Colonel Roosevelt had talked with tho progressive leaders he dictated a statement which was Interpreted as indicating that In one state at least he will carry tho fight Into the ranks of the republican party by nppealtng to Its members to Ignore their past affiliations and go with the progressives. His state ment wns mado with particular reference to tho situation In Pennsylvania, where Senator Penrose la opposed In his fight for 're-election by Mr. Plnchot. Pirn to (Inoil tit Irons. "Crises come up," Colonel Roosevelt said, "when It Is the duty of all good citizens to sink party differences and stand up against flagrant wrongdoings In public life or against policies fatal to tho welfare of the nation at home and to tho honor of the nation abroad. All good citizens should on such occasions stand together without regard to past party differences. "I have confidence In the Integrity of the rank and file of the republican party and that they will support Mr. Plnchot." The colonel's old neighbors welcomed him back from the Jungles today and they did it in a way that made tho former' president strangely silent aa .ho aroso to face them. - ; Flags werq everywhere, and palled to a telegraph pole was .a .huge -sign, whicn read; "1916 and victory." were among Congressman Sloan's callers today.
