Roosevelt to Stand Aside May Foresee 1912 Fight
Theodore Roosevelt holds open the possibility of entering the presidential race while aiming to stay out of Taft administration battles in New York and national politics. A conference at Sagamore Hill with Loeb Griscom Calder Kracka and Cocks discussed Roosevelt’s plan to avoid factional fights while preserving his policy goals. He reserves the right to intervene if core policies are jeopardized, but prefers postponing a direct clash until 1912.

Taft Foes Charge Old Guard Tricked Roosevelt Backers
Roosevelt supporters allege the Old Guard manipulated the Republican State committee to name Sherman as temporary chairman for the state convention. They claim proxies were sent by loyal Roosevelt allies without instruction, a plan to keep Roosevelt from Saratoga. Officials say the move could have produced a tied vote if attended, while denying Taft sanction for Sherman. The piece notes tensions within New York Republican factions and mentions an upcoming excursion to Asheville.
Rooseveltites, Taft Split Over Temporary Chairman Sherman
State committee members favored nominating Sherman as temporary chairman of the convention. Taft indicated no objections but urged consulting Roosevelt Griscom and other Roosevelt supporters. Ward and Barnes pressed Roosevelt for a meeting at the Manhattan Hotel to discuss the situation. The group had already chosen Sherman, with Roosevelt's view to be communicated later. Griscom and Roosevelt allies plan to reveal how they felt tricked and by whom, and Taft’s possible reaction to the pressure.
