Joseph II. Choate was not inclined to talk at
18th Yesterday about the election. As such a
",oro,s victory had been won. he did not deem 1T
c.ssary apparently, to go very deep into the
"oasons why the result what 1t was. As presi-
~, NJ the Constitutional Convention he was of
1enrse greatly interested IN promoting the pas
s.ce Of the amendments. and he plainly de-
lighted yesterday at the result. and said He
