TAFT ENTERS DENIAL
NeverExpressed Wishto Defeat
Cclonel for Chairman.
Insisted That Before Any Choice Was
Made by State Committee Mr.
Roosevelt Should Be Consulted.
President Taft's Letter Does Away
With Wild Stories of a Break Be
tween Him and the Ex-President.
Vice President Sherman Charged
With Suppressing a Telegram.
New York, Aug. 23. President Taft
not only had no hand In the trickery
at the meeting of the Republican
state committee last Tuesday, where
by William Ward, Timothy Woodruff,
William Barnes and James Wads
worth succeeded in having a motion
adopted naming Vice President Sher
man as the temporary chairman of the
Republican state convention In place
of Mr. Roosevelt, but in a letter which
was received by Chairman Grlscom of
the Republican county committee, it
was made plain that Mr. Taft Insisted
that before any choice was made by
the committee, Mr. Roosevelt should
be consulted.
Mr. Roosevelt was not consulted.
Mr. Taft, over the long distance
phone and by means of telegraph mes
sages, had expressly told the leaders
of the regulars that If there was eny
disaffection likely ' to arise at the
meeting his name was not to be used
and that on the contrary In the In
terests of harmony he wished that the
members should consult before the
meeting with Mr. Griscom and Mr.
Roosevelt.
Sent Telegram to Sherman.
Mr. Taft even sent a telegram to
Mr. Sherman Insisting that before
any action was taken by the commit
tee, Mr. Roosevelt should be consulted
with, and that, if there was need,
reasonable concessions should be
made Willi the progressives, both with
regard to platform and candidates.
Former Assemblyman Merwin K.
Hart of TJtica, fresh from a confer
ence lie had with Colonel Roosevelt
on Friday, made a speech In his home
city on Saturday in which he assert
ed that Mr. Sherman had received a
telegram from Mr. Taft, and that he
had suppressed it.
Mr. Sherman left New York for his
home on Monday night before the
meeting of the Republican state com
mittee and it wa? stated for him by
Mr. Woodruff and the other leaders
of the regulars who were In town that
Mr. Sherman had consented to have
his name presented as the choice of
the committee for temporary chair
man of the convention, and that in
taking this course he was acting In
nspent with the wishes of Mr. Taft
The letters written by Mr. Taft to
Mr. Grlscom shows that there was no
such understanding and It shows fur
ther that there are good grounds for
the charge made by Mr. Hart that
Mr. Sherman suppressed a telegram
he had received from Mr. Taft.
The letter from President Taft to
Mr. Griscom does away altogether
with the wild stories which have been
floating around for more than a week
past to the effect that there Is a
break between Mr. Taft and Mr,
Roosevelt,
When the news of the result of tho
meeting reached the president he was
told that Mr. Roosevelt was Inclined
to blame him for what had occurred
nnd Mr. Taft was advised by some ol
his closest friends to come out with
a statement showing that so far from
doing anything which might split tho
Republican party in this state he had,
on the contrary, advised that nothlnp,
should be done which would tend to
show that there was even a semblance
of a possibility of a break between
himself and the former president'.
Mr. Taft nt that time refused to fol
low the adve. He told the friendsl
who counselled him to make his posi
tion clear that to do so would put hlni
!n the light of taking nn active in
terest In the party affairs of thl
slate.
Not to Blame For Colonel's Rejection,
Until Friday or Saturday last Mr,
Taft intended In Klick tq this policy,
.i.t in response to suggestions made
to him that i( the Idea should be al
lowed tn continue that he was even
indirectly responsible for the rejection
Of Mr. Koosevelt as temporary chair
man of tl;e slate convention, the re
suit would bo that the Republican
party would be In an even worse con
dition when the campaign opened
tlinn It Is now, he consented to make:
It clear that he bad never raised so
much as a tlngar to defeat Mr. Roose
velt for the temporary chairmanship
of the convention; that Mr. Sherman
in the presence of Representative
Nicholas Longworth, had promised
him that nothing would be done with
regard to the selection or rejection ol
Mr. Roosevelt until in tho interest ol
harmony, Mr. Roosevelt had been con
sulted. Mr. Taft, in his letter tn Mr. Oris
com. stetes that Mr.. Sherman agreed
to this stipulation, hut, according to
Mr. ltoos.'veU and Mr. Oriscom, the
promise was never carried out,
Although for a few daya lust week
Mr. Roosevelt had not made up hia
mind, following the vote- t the state
committee meeting, the anil-Woodruff-Barnes
folks said that In view of Mr
Taft's explanation of his attitude, Mr
Roosevelt, they thought, would allowl
himself to be named as a candidate
against Mr. SheniiHn for temporary
chairman of tiie convention and thai
be would be elected.
PRESIDENT SCHURMAN
Boom Launched to Nominate Him i
Him
k.
For Governor of New York.
SCHURMAN FOR GOVERNOR
Congressman Dwight Launches Boom
For President of Cornell University.
Ithaca, N. Y., Aug. 23. Congress
man John W. Dwight, Republican
whip in the house of representatives
and one of those who voted for Colo
nel Roosevelt for temporary chairman
of the Republican state convention, Is
going to rhe convention with a boom
for President Jacob Gould Sthurman
of Cornell university for governor.
It Is understood here that Mr.
Dwight has been canvassing this sec
tion of the state for Schurman and It.
ir. reported that, many Western New
ork leaders are In favor of him.
Mr. Dwight said. "Regardless of
the fact that he was not. chosen tempo
rary chairman. Theodore Roosevelt
will have voice in the convention as
a delegate. ! do not think that Mr.
Poosevelt would now accopt the chair
manship even if the delegates stam
peded for hint. He does not care
whether he is chairman. or occupying
a seat In the rear, so long as he has
a voice In the convention. That he
will be a delegate Is certain and tho
chances are that he will hold a
stronger position as a free lance dele
gate on the floor than he would If he
occupied a seat on the platform."
PRIEST WHO WEDS REPENTS
