Discussing the Union Pacific.
Attorney General McKenna spent an
this morning in discussion of the coming
sale of the Union Pacific With the Attor-
ney General was Mr.. Pierce of the reorgan-
ization committee of the Union Pacific.
Tic Attorney General declined to talk on
leaving the White House, but it was said
at the Department Of Justice that some
day. Mr.. Pierce and the Attorney General
continued the conference at the Depart
r.ent of Justice for a long time after leav
ing the President. 4 belief was expressed
that something might be on foot as to a
Postponement OF the sale of the road. If
this is done it will have to come from the
government which will have to ask the
court to postpone the sale. If there is any
reason to believe that by postponing the
sale month there would be other bidders
besides the reorganization committee, it is
thought the Attorney General and Presi-
dent would ask for a postponement. They
will have 20 be convinced, however, that
something is to be derived from a post
ponement. There will have TO be more
than newspaper stories.
Senator Platt n Caller.
Senator Platt got in early frcm New
York this morning, without many people
being aware of his coming. He went to the
White House, but, the President was
busy with the Attorney General, the sena-
tor departed and called later. Ee was with
the President a short time He declared
that he vas just talking about some New
York appointments He denied that the
New York situation had been discussed. A
Star reporter asked the senator his opinion
of the New York situation
Tracy will be elected is all he said, and
then he smiled that peculiar smile that is
generally interpreted. as meaning that he
is satisfied. There was considerable COM
ment on the satisfied look of the senator
as he went away from the White Ho-se.
Before leaving he used the long-diStsnce
telephone in the White House to communi-
cate with his office in New York.
Senators Hansbrough Of North Dakota.
Wilson of Washington and Bacon of
Georgia were callers who saw the Presi-
dent on different matters. Senator Hans
brOEgh, as member CT the Senate District
committee, said he had not given much
thought to District legislation at the COM
ing session, but Vas always willing to give
the District what it wanted.
