receipt of the telegram Roe had con-
ference with Mayor Van Wyck and

charge of the parade, was notified of
the governors dispatch. After pointing
out to him that the committee alone
had right to assign the places in the

the governors action: 1T is peculiarly
Rooseveltian. 1t is a most impudent
and unwarranted interference in a
matter that is without his province. /

Roosevelt declined to discuss his ac-
