NEW YORK, April th.-The
Worlds Washington special re-
ports VIM. L. Chandler as saying:
81 don't believe that Dennis has
made any statement or confession,
but perhaps McLinn has. All that
| there is to say about the Archer
district and Alachua county has
been published. There is nothing
new in Leon and Columbia coun-
ties. The whole story is sensa-
ton. l have always claimed that

The Florida delegation in Con.
gress has no knowledge of the con-
fessions except through rumors
that are coming.
Senator Jones (Democrat) says
he believes them to be true, while
Senator Conover Republican, says
that if true he thinks they will
have no more effect than the re-
cent confession made in Brooklyn.

under whose administration Nc
Linn acted as Secretary of State,
has not seen McLinn's confession,
but thinks that, if one has been
made, it is o true one. Governor
Stearns says McLinn can only give
facts as they have been charged.
Whenever a question of doubt
arose as to the settlement of any
question concerning the electoral
count in Florida, McLinn, being q
strong partizan, gave Hayes the
benefit of it in making up the re-
turns.
