ALGER SAYS NOT JUST NOW.
HASN'T BEEN ASKED TO RESIGN AND
WILL NOT RESIGN At ONCE.

He Intimntes, However, That He May
Leave tho Cabinet on Jan. 1, After HIS
Report of tho Years Work Has Been
Prepared and Submitted to the President.
WAsHINGToN. July 12.-Secretary Alger was
beseged with callers to-day. nearly all OF them
making anxious inquiries as to his intentions.
in view OF widespread reports that he would
shortly hand in his resignation. already de-
cded upon. to the President. To all those with
whom he talked the Secretary denied in gen
cral terms the truth OF the reports. He had not
resigned. he said. he had not been asked to. and
he did not intend to. He had not talked with
the President on the subject. and could not ac-
count for the revival Of tho report that he con-
temrlated resigninG.
To The Sun correspondent who talked with
him Just before the close Of office hours Gen.
Alger was somewhat more specific In his state
ments, and denied that there is any truth what
ever in any Of the reports credting him with
an intention to resign. or those asserting that
the President had expressed or entertained
desire to have him do So Secretary Alger then
declared emphatically that he would not leave
the Cabinet this year or until after his reports
OF the years work Of his department had been
prepared and submitted. and that II he did re-
sign then he would do so account OF per-
sona reasons entirely. His course would de-
pend. he said upon the state of his health and
the demands OF his private business.
Secretary Ayers friends are indignant at the
reports that there was any Significance in his
absence from the White House on Saturday
evening. when Gov. Roosevelt was guest
there They declare with much emphasis that
the Governor first suggested the conference in
note to an Administration official, who ar
ranged the interview, and that the invitation
to the Governor to be the Presidents guest
was purely an afterthought. The presence OF
Secretary Long. Attorney-General Griggs
and few other officials OF the Admins
tration at the White House during the even
ing was quite accidental. they say. and. more
over. that the President and the Governor
did not discuss the general war policy OF the
Government. but merely matters affecting
New York State interests. Whatever weight
may attach to these representations. 1t is
strictly true that officials who are close to the
President are responsible for the statements
that Secretary Alger has not been consulted
with regard to army matters generally during
the past few weeks and especially on the sub
ject OF appointments in the new volunteer
army
