While IT is not officially known what the

the republican National committee recog-
nizes Hon. f. H. r.. Green as the only
State chairman of the republican execu-
tive committee. Speaking on this subject
Hon. Sydney A. Perkins, assistant secre-
ulry of the republican National commit
tee, and private secretary to Senator
Hanna said today to The Post correspond
emit: 1.-THE National committee, of course,
recognizes Mr.. Il. H. r. Green as the
official State chairman OF Texas; and II
mtteeman. 1t is very clear that a major
ity of the State executive committee were
with Chairman Green, for had majority
been with DR.. Grant there would have been
no occasion for them to bolt. Another
significant thing about the Dallas meet
mttee, over whose proceeding Chairman
Green presided, passed appropriate reso-
buttons indorsing in strong terms the ad-
ministration, while the boilers at the meet
ing passed no resolutions except TO in
dorse DR.. Grant. OF course can not speak
for the administration in this matter: l
only tell you the position of the National
republican committee"
