" 'I am Informed and believe that
several member of the New York Re
publican Stat committee who Total
for Vice-President Sherman over -President
Rooeevelt as nomine for

that th Vice-President's nam waa
presented to defeat CoL Roosevelt In
accordance with your wtah. A mem
ber of th Stat committee declared to
me before th meeting that Mr. finer
man's candidacy had been arranged
with you by telephone the previous

an Impression thai yon favor par

made clear to the pgbiloJ.
The suggestion that X hav ever
expressed a wish to defeat Mr. Roose
velt for th temporary chairmanship
of th convention or hav vr takes
th slightest step to de so is wholly
untrue. I never heard Mr. Sher
man's nam suggested aa temporary
chairman of th But Convention an
til 1 saw in th newspapers of Au
gust lfth that th b had been se
lected at th meeting of th commit
tee. When yon called at my house
Saturday evening. Augnet 11th yo
told m that Mr. Roosevelt intended t

suggestion la which I acquiesced. It
did not occur to m that any on
would eppoee It This waa ths Bret
tims th subject of th temporary

by any one. Ton did not ask me tn

that th whole situation in Nov York
may h saved without humiliation to

by a full conference with Mr. Roose
velt and reasonable oonoe salon with
reference to platform and candidate
" The thing ' of all other that
ought to bo avoided is a controversy
In th convention. t am told by Mr.

Mr. Roosevelt might conveniently be

In commenting on President Taft'
letter, and the situation, which It dis
closes, Mr. Urtscom gav out th fol
io win- atatement: : .
The methods used to accomplish
the defeat of Mr, RooseTelt when his

are now clear to the public and may

Ignored and that hs attitude was mis
represented in order that thoae who
misrepresented him might appear a
the defenders of his administration,
"I hava not the slightest doubt that
ths action of the State committee will
be reversed snd Mr. Roosevelt, if his
engagement will permit him to ac
cept, will art aa temporary chairman
of the convention, making the key
note speech. As President of th
New York Republican county com
mittee I shall actively co-operate with
Republicans throughout th Stat, who
believe it In the tntereeu of th party
that this result be brought about.
