The New York Press published a straw poll of 1000 Republicans. Among 1908 Taft supporters, 442 favor Taft, 335 back Roosevelt, 132 back Wilson, and 91 are undecided or refuse.

Writs of error are granted by two justices in the Taft camp, but the final ruling on Roosevelt electors remaining on the Republican primary ballot rests with the full Supreme Court at its next session.
