General Hancock With the President-(seneral
Granger 70 Relieve Emory.
Major General Hancock proceeded to the White
House about eleven O'Clock this morning and was
Immediately admitted to the Presidents room where
ne remained In conference with Mr.. Johnson for
nearly two hours. What transpred during the IN
teryiew Is not clearly known. 1t is said, however,
that General Hancock explained to the President
the reasoRs why he felt that he could accomplish
more good as commander Of the Fifth Military DIS
tric and for the same he should be relieved
The svIbect OF assigning him to new post OF duty
was then briefly discussed and 1t highly pro-
bable now that General Hancock will receive the
command OF the new military division OF the Attain
tic, comprising the Departments Of the East, the
Lakes and washington. It Is not yet settled, how
ever that Hancock will be assigned to this important
command as tits understood that he Is rather disn-
cned TO ;ccept the condition imposed by the order
creating he division that its headquarters shall
be in Wa shington
Severn i more interviews win doubtless be held be-
tween ne President and General Hancock before the
matter can be satisfactorily arranged rulnor that
has by IN going the rounds here for day or two to
the eI ect that General Emory, commanding the De-
paru ent of Washington is to be relieved by General
Gram yer seems to hold its ground very stubborny.
Thus far no authoritative denial OF 1t has been OBJ
tahD "a.
