patch today stated that in an inter-
view yesterday with a correspondent Of
a paper in that city Postmaster Hesing
spoke literally as follows:
II called on the president recently at
the white house and he Informed me
in unequivocal language that under no
circumstances would he be again In the
field because his health would prevent
it; that he needed out Of door exercise
to prolong life: that he would not even
accept the nomination If made; that he
had all the honor 1t was possible to at
tain In the exalted position he Occu-
pies, and that he would have theSisk
Of defeat"
To representatives Of the United
Press Mr. Hesing this evening quail.
fed the foregoing interview In vital
particular. He said II did not tell the
special correspondent that this talk
with the president was of recent date.
On the contrary. I told him that it oc-
Cured more than year ago. and ex-
plicitly intimated to him that when I
met the president recently nothing
whatever was said. directly or indirect.
ly, concerning another nomination or a
third - term. With this amendment,
which Is important, the portion of the
interview referred to Is correct sub
stantially and to 1t l have nothing to
