Mr. Stallings did not care to say at this time just what the circumstances were which led to the severing of his relations with the club. His announcement, however, confirmed anticipations which arose following the Investigation by President Frank Far rell in Cleveland of Stalling's charges that Hal Chase, the team's first baseman, had not given the club his best services. "Hal Chase will manage the New York Americans after this," said Owner Farrell this afternoon.

"I have found out that the charges against Chase were 'absolutely untrue." Mr. Farrell would not permit himself to be quoted' further at this time. He said, however, that his announcement meant that Chase would manage the team for the remainder of the present season. DECIDING GAME SATURDAY.

Sherman was not known to any member of the New York delegation as prospective chairman of the convention in advance of the meeting," said Mr. Griscom, speaking with emphasis. "In my case I was not Informed of the intention to elect him until within fifty minutes of the beginning of the meeting. I informed Mr. Wadsworth that I did not think It wise to take such actiqn.

It had been stated in the papers that ex President Roosevelt was going to the convention as a delegate and I believed that the proper place for a former president was on the platform. I informed Mr. Wadaworth that I thought the proposed action unfair, and if Mr. Sherman's name was presented to the committee without consultation among any large number of members I would oppose it and put up the name of Colonel Roosevelt. I also told Mr.

Ward the same thing. I understood from Mr. Ward that President Taft approved of Mr. Sherman's selection, which I thought strange. Inasmuch as President Taft had told me but a few days before that he favored consultation with Colbnel Roosevelt in all matters pertaining to the Republican party in New York state.

1 have noted that the meeting was filled with deceit and I was concerned." Some Misunderstanding, Several of the York county committee grouped Griscom after his assertion that Ward had said that President Taft had favored Mr. Sherman for temporary chairmanship. Chairman Woodruff interrupted to say there must have been some misunderstanding all around. Mr. Ward was then asked by a com mltteeman to explain.

''My recollection," he said, "was that the president was consulted the day before, which was true." uia me presiaent say mat ne ap f.w.wu ui. kfub.tua.lj asked Mr. Parsons. "I refuse to make" answer to the questions as to what he said to me," replied Ward. "Well, then, I think we had better take the president's letter and the record fpr this committee," d4ded Mr.

Parsons. Representative Fassett then moved that the matter be laid on the tabla, but Barnes opposed the motion and Fassett withdrew it. Herbert Parsons then said: "As I said, I will not investigate this matter unless you also ascertain what was said to the members who stayed away and if they were Informed that there was a scheme to defeat Colonel Roosevelt." Mr. Barnes jumped to his feet and cried: anybody doubt that the selection of Mr. Sherman was to defeat Mr.

Roosevelt?" "There," rejoined Mr. Parsons, "Mr. Barnes has said enough to confirm what Mr. Griscom has said about the use of the president's name. I now renew the motion to lay on the table." The motion was lost, nineteen to eighteen.

At the Instance of Barnes a poll of the committeemen was then taken, in which each member arose and said in effect that he had not been deceived in casting his vote for Sherman. Surprise for" "Tim." Mr. Woodruff declared: "I never knew that Colonel Roosevelt's name was to be presented until Mr. Griscom arose in his place and announced tt." Mr. Dady, of Brooklyn, said: Colonel Roosevelt had asked me to vote for him I would certainly have said "We, all would," said Chairman Woodruff.

Speaker Wadsworth said: "I must correct the statement of Mr. Griscom that he told me before the meeting of his Intention of presenting Colonel Roosevelt's name. I was taken by; surprise when he did so." Mr. Griscom reiterated his statement that he believed there was trickery, and Samuel Kralewltch, of Manhattan, said he was present and heard Griscom tell Speaker Wadsworth that Colonel Roosevelt's name would be placed. The episode concluded with this remark by Chairman Woodruff: "I think this charge by Mr.

Griscom and others, a charge by Republicans against Republicans, is the most unwarranted piece of business have ever known." The motion was then carried that Mr. Sherman's selection as temporary chairman was made without misrepresentation. Both on the Ground. Theodore Roosevelt reached here tonight and took charge of his campaign at once. The ebb and flow of the political tides tlr.ally set In for the progressives tonight and the Colonel after a conference with his lieutenants repeated his assertion made at Trr "We have victor ous." When Colonel Roosevelt came Into Saratoga he was met at the railroad station by the New York delegation headed by Griscom, and hundreds of delegates and townspeople.

A procession was formed and headed by a troy band marched to the United States betel where the Colonel was rushed to th second story plasza to make a brief sptech to the ground. 1 "I shall not try make any speech, now," he said, "I'll ke my speech tomorrow." Vice President Bhennin came to vile lage this morning a ent Quietly to his room. Lieutensnts of WIUUMn Barnes, who is leading the old guard forces, say tonight that they have tui4e a few gains but are not ready to claim a majority. The wavering delegates are being eagerly sought by both sides. MK Griscom announces tonight that the progressives had a lead of at least 100.

He said that since the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt the progressives had gained four votes. Mr. Barnes, with his associates, has written out a complete and full platform which will be presented to the committee on resolutions and Mr. Barnes tonight said that they would not submit to a single amendment to that platform.

Colonel Roosevelt put in some time go in over the primaries plank of the plat form. Roosevelt leaders are not all of one mind in the precise make up of the fhls particular plank. Mr. Griscom said tonight that he thought Colonel Roosevelt would suggest the name of a delegate from his home county to suggest that Roosevelt be substituted for Mr. Sherman as temporary chairman.
