WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Speaker Crisp
is back in Washington. He is not in
clined to freely discuss for publication
some incidents connected with the Re-
form Club banquet last night In reply
to questions from an Associated Press
reporter, he said: ''TO begin with, the
press of the country is resting under a
misapprehension so far as regards the
fact that l was TO speak at the banquet.
l was not invited to speak, but armed
myself in advance, in case / should be
called upon. 1t is true | gave out to
the Press Associations in advance the
remarks l intended to make should
L be called upon to say a few words,
1t is not true that | left the banquet hall
in disgruntled condition and did not re-
porarily to look after my clothes in the
cloakroom. This task completed, | re-
turned to the banquet hall and was one of
the last to leave it..
'As regards the implied 'snub' to me, as
has been charged, l do not care to discuss
the subject for publication, nor do l care
at this time to discuss the statements by
some persons. Cleveland i'll his remarks

TO be waged against my reelection to the
Speakers chair, should l be a candidate

On attention being called to the fact
that his friends expressed Indignation at
what they conceived to be an intended
slight, he said the matter was of too deli
cate nature to discuss in public prints
