DIXON HOWLING OLD FRAUD CRY Roosevelt Manager, a Poor Loser, Raises "Claim All" Shout. SACRAMENTO, March 29. In a telegram dated Washington last night from Joseph M. Dixon, manager of the Theodore Roosevelt campaign, to Governor Hiram W.

The telegram from Dixon is in full as the truth. NEW YORK DELEGATION. "None of the New delegation 1s follows: "Washington, D. March 28.

Governor Hiram W. Johnson, Sacramento, Press reports regarding Indiana and New York are deliberate falsehoods. In diana we carried six congressional districts uncontested. Two were contested. The Taft people carried five districts uncontested.

A8 to seating on the temporary roll 165 contesting Taft delegates was shown on the roll call and they still lacked nine delegates of having a majority. "The Indianapolis delegation of 126 is contested by both sides. In order to obtain control of the convention the Taft chairman made a ruling that the Taft delegation from Indianapolis should have the right to vote on their own contest.

When this arbitrary and unheard of ruling was made by the chairman the Roosevelt delegates withdrew and elected their own delegates-at-large for Chicago headed by Senator Beveridge. This is instructed except two. The balance of the delegation probably stands about onethird for Roosevelt and one-third for Taft and the remaining third for the band wagon. "The only place where we made contests in the primaries for was in New York city -in seven Congressional distriets their complete check of registered Republican voters show more than two to one for Roosevelt: "The Taft machine fearing to. allow voters the opportunity.

In many precincts no ballots whatever were, delivered. In many other precincts the ballots were not delivered until 8 o'clock, and it was impossibly for the voters to their ballots. "No precincts had any ballots until after 6 o'clock.

Many precincts where ballots were delivered had names of the Roosevelt delegates omitted. All the anti-Roosevelt New York papers on, their front pages told the story that the whole thing was a criminal farce. ILLINOIS AND MARYLAND.
