DeJinfn0 Hts Motires.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 3.-Senator
Allison was very much amused to-day
when he saw special dispatch in New
York newspaper announcing, on what was
said to be the best authority, that he would
within few days write letter defining
the motives which led him to enter the
contest for the Republican nomination at
St. Louis.
The Senator said that he had no idea of
writing letter on that or any other sub
iect connected with the Republican Con-
vention. The article also stated that Mr..
Allison was II years of age. He could not
see how this result was reached, for the
reason that he was born March 2, 1929.
