call upon Mr.. Folger and left. | said Well, Mr..

Why, just look at those Westchester delegates. 1t
is nonsense for Robertson to say that he could not
control their election. He has held that
county IN the palm Of his hand for years.
Ii the delegates al opposed 10 your nomination, he
is opposed TO Your nomination. Tie IS opposing the
Administration after promising for months to sup
port it,
"Then started by an afternoon train for this

John f. Smvth AMI asked him if he thought Rob-
ertson would recognize from whom 1t came if
should merely sign Commissioner lie said he
thought Robertson would. At the time the tele-
graph operator was absent, but he had posted up

came back. and, finding the operator there, asked
him If he had seat my dis patch. He SAID that he
had received no dispatch from mo. We hunted
about for it on the floor of the office
and in the waste paper basket, but we
could not find it. EimeI's dispatch

ing by and who looked remarkably knowing
through his eyeglasses. You have stolen my dis

the first and told the operator that 1t ought to be
rushed ahead Of all other business. as it i'm
porant that Mr. Robertson should get it in time to
catch the $3.50 train. Well you know that nothing
was done al the meeting Of the state Committee
that Tuesday night. Robertson did not come, and
we aid not act ~ We did not have u majority III the
committee.
