4 succeed him. Parker now declares that
70 the whole story Is without foundation.
II cannot deny" he said. that ! made
a several calls on the President. because
10 many people saw me there. / called, how
+ ever, solely In my capacity as Republican
II National Committeeman from Hawaii.
r Senator Hanna and Joe Manley were
a there, and there were many matters
y which we had to talk about TO the Presi-
l. dent These matters however, did not
J. deal with the governorship Of Hawaii
II / remember rightly, President toose-
d Welt asked me If had seen the Governor,
d and told him | saw him shortly before
i- left Honolulu. Beyond this / cannot
10 talk about my visits TO the President or
a, the subjects OF our conferences, In doing
ct so ! would be violating a confidence.
ie while in Chicago Prince David and
a myself saw number Of Newspaper rep
rcsentatiyes. ] do not know whether
D. he is quoted ns saying, but he does not
W know what he Is talking about when ho
Il says ! am To succeed Dole as governor
r Dole was appointed for a term of fouI
,r years, and he stil has two years "a

. fully settled before ! talked with him or
, the subject of the gubernatorial chail
' and his chances for It. 1 called at the
- Occidental Hotel the day before yester-
- day. He was very coy at first and re-
n fused to say anything. lie said that hC
- had been 30 misquoted by the Eastern
: papers that he did not want to open his

q" However. he said that he realized IN
talking TO me he was talking to his
u, friends In Hawaii lie said; IL cannot
~ tell you anything of what happened du'
ring my interview with President Roosc
Welt. OF course as National Republican
II, Committeeman from Hawaii, President

)f concerning Island affairs. l did not tel
In any reporter or anybody IN Washington
ID that President Roosevelt had promlseC
re- TO make me Governor, or that he haC
ar asked for Governor Dole's resignation.

" things TO me aloud and in the hearing o.
