President Rooseveit is convinced that | there must be a reorganizatibn of the New York county committee, but he is somewhat puzzled as to what use he shall ke of the only material available for a fight against Chairman Odell. He has, of course, the active co-operation of Sen- ater Platt, and so far as Senator Platt can 2id the President he is willing to do so, but in a fight for a new deal all around Scnator Platt's power to contrib- ute to a reform movement is somewhat | 1imited. Senator Platt sald to-night that he could be counted on to use his best endeavors ! to upturn things in New York City and to retire to the background the influence 1 of Odell and his henchmcn. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Mayor McClel- lan joined with W. R. Hearst to-day in requesting that the Supreme Court grant the application for a mandamus to com- pel the production of original tally sheets before the Board of County Canvassers. The application was granted as soon as the Mayor's request was made known at the argument before Justice Amend. Judge Alton B. Parker, speaking In behalt | of the Mayor, sald that Mr. McClellan de- sired that there should be full opportunity given to have the will of the voters, as expressed on election day, fully and offi- clally expressed, George Abenshine, a Republican in- | spector of election in the Second Electlon District of the Eighteenth Assembly Dis- trict, was arrested to-night by Deputies from Superintendent Morgan's office. The charge against him was reported to be bribery.

Whitney, Demo- eratic Candidate for Lieu- ‘tenant Governor in the Bay State, Flayed by Roosevelt ACCUSED OF WILLFULLY MISREPRESENTING HIM | Denunciation Called Forth by a Call of Manufacturers Who Urge That Hides Be Placed on the Free List ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—President Roosevelt was asked to-day to use his influence to have the customs duties on hides removed. A delegation of boot and shoe and leather manufac- turers, headed by Governor W. L. Douglas of Massachusetts, called on the President by appointment and dis- cussed with him pretty fully the pro-7 posed repeal of the duty on hides. The delegation numbered twenty-eight men, the majority being from New York and the West and theq minority from the New England States. In the course of the interview the President spoke so frankly and sincerely to his callers that they burst into cheers that made the executive office ring. After the delegation had presented its views and its desires to the Presi- dent, he told the members that, as a | matter of concrete fact, the whole | subject was one with which Congress | must deal and he strongly impressed {upon them that any action in the mat- {ter must originate in Congress. At the conclusion of the conference W. B. Rice of the firm of Rice & Hutchins of Boston/made a statement |to the newspaper men of the result of the interview. He said: | We decided 1o request the President to assist us in procuring legislation placing hides on | the free list and to reduce the duty on_ sole | leather to 10: per cent, wnere the McKinley | law placed it. I think every man present was impressed with the President’s desire to do the | square thing by us. | Subsequent to the departure of the | delegation from the White House, | | President Roosevelt authorized the | publication of his remarks. In the course of his remarks he related an | experience he had last year with a | committee from Massachusetts, of | whom Mr. Whituey, recently a candi- date for Ligutcnant Governor of M | chusetts, was one. He said Mr. Whit- i had misquoted him in the cam- n which was closed a few days ago, and declared that, he was “con- | strained to believe that Mr. Whitney | had deliberately misrepresented *what | had occurred.” With this experfence in mind the President declined to ter upon a discussion of the subject of free hides at this time. The ad- dress of the President was in part as follows: It is of course unneeessary to point out that nge in the tariff can be made keeping the interests or desires The law must thercfore | | | | 1 i | of one | roughiy the sentiments of the | | citizens States as expressed | | through their r ives therein. Where | the interests and sentiments | as s al- | i o to the | detalls of all tariff matters, the law must por- | mally, although not invariably, represent a | compiomise and mutual concession, and no one | outside of Congress can definitely fortell the | cxnct shupe such comprusise will ultimately | take. 1 should with you ike to discuss the whole situation eely and informally, but unfortu- | | nately my jence with @ committee from your State, Governor Deuglas, which called on me in connection with tariff matters about year ago, forbids my doing so. Such a free, full and nccessarily Intormal and tentative | discuesion ds obviously of wenefit only If those Jolnizg in it recognlze as a matter of honor- | Abl: obligation the duty of not attempting to | | give from memory what must necessarily be | | an imperfect and garbicd version of what takes ! place. | VWhen the President of the United States | definjtely and formally expresses himself tor | publicaticn on a question ur great national im- )porunu, what he says should not be left ‘n the imperfection of memory, often colored By interest, but should be put beyond the possi- bility of misunderstanding or confusion by preparation and committal to writing. To try to repeat from memory wna: the President has said when a year has elapsed is to show entire indifference to accuracy as well as to propriety. Yet this is precisely what Mr. Whitney d1d in the Massachusctts ¢ompaign that has just closed. He pretended to quote what 1 had said during the course of the long d informal interview with his committee year before, no notes of the conversation hav- ing been tiken at the time. Not only did he misquoté the words I used, but by suppressing almost all that I had sald and by giving what he purported to give entrely apart from its context, he absolutely, and, as I am con- strained to believe, deliberately misrepresented what had occurred, and he knew well that it was impossible for the President of the United States to enter into a personal discussion about the matter with him. With this experience in view, I cannot enter into any discussion with you on the merits of your proposal and must content. myself with saying that it shall recefve my most earnest, attentive and respectful consideration. e A WHITNEY ENTERS DENIAL, Declares He Hnd No Intention of Mis- representing President. BOSTON, Nov, 16.—Henry M. Whit- ney, president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Massachu- setts in the recent election, issued a statement to-night in reference to Pres- ident Roosevelt's remarks to the com- mittee of boot, shoe and leather manu- facturers, who visited the White Mouse to-day. President Roosevelt told the committee that he could not discuss the question freely and informally, saying that a year ago Henry M. Whitney call- ed on him with reference to tariff mat- ters and later misquoted what the Pres- ident had said. After reading the Washington dis- patch Whitney prepared a statement in which he denled that he had wilifully misquoted the Presidént or intention- ally violated any confidence. The statement fouowl in part: Andrew G, Webster, J. M. Hall and I, con- stituting a_subcommittee of the Chamber of ' Commerce committee of 100 on reciprocal trade, visited ashington last winter for a confer- ence with the President touching especialiy the matter of the Hay-Bond treaty. T, ax chalrman of the committee, made an argu- ment in favor of the treaty and in the arsu- | mient made reforence to the advantage of rec.p- rocal treaties with Canada. We u d the President 10 express himself as unfavorable to the Hay-Bond treaty, but desirous of seeing and fayoring also to fullest possible extent free- dom of trade with Canada. 1 was not aware that this was to be regarded in the nature of President, as a commitiee The’ Ghiembar ot Commerce committee of 1 to consult with the and to the result of that mtm# to the fuil committes, which was equivale g siving it to the public. 1 absoluts y any ‘‘willful” and ten t ntation of the Presiden atiitude and I have no recollection of what he : 10 as the ‘‘context'’ ich was calcu- I to modify the views he regret extremely that the President should fude una abecially that he shotld feel that have xnmmmfl“l’y s0, which I aver not true. . . ¢ Copies of this statcment were sent to CALIFORNIA OIL AN IN THE TOMBS!

DENVER, Nov. I5. — Father Cushing, who was suspended from the priesthood of the Catholic church by Bishop Matz of the diocese of Colorado on the charge of conduet unbécoming a priest, died at Mercy Hospital to-night of heart fallure. At the last moment Father Cushing and Bishop Mats became reconciled, and the latter was at Father Cushing’s bedside when death came. Father Cushing made several trips to Rome to plead for reinstatement at the | hands of the Pope, but was unsuccessful. While in Rome on one visit Father Cush- ing made an assault upom Bishop Matz and was imprisoned in the Vatican for several weeks as a consequence. Father Cushing came in conflict with church law again when he became em- broiled with the Bishop of New York and suffered a fate similar to that meted out to him at Romie. ———————————— PRESIDENT RECEIVES CALL FROM WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS [ Plea for the Ballot Made by Miss 1 Susan B.
