! presented himself at Secretary Porter's
/ door, and was Immediately admitted, con-
! trary to the rules, except for the most 1is-
/ tingushed visitors The crowd wondered
| who he was. and very few people recog
/ nized him as ex-senator Hiscock, of New

about Federal patronage, while Representa-
! tive Belden is dn anti-organiZationiSt, and
! as such is not in touch with the Platt ma
| chine A long as the two factions are at
! variance il is not likely that either side
! will receive consideration from the EX-
