SENATOR HAWLEY'S STATEMENT.
His Reason for Making n Change i'm
Committee Clerkshfp.

SO""lttce SIerkshfp.
The severance of the connection of Major
w. P. Huxford, United States army, re-
tired, with the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs has given rise to a good many
reports in relation to the matter, which
Senator Hawley, chairman Of the commit
tee, characterizes as misrepresenting the
facts in the case. Senator Hawley was
seen by Star reporter today and said
that he had decided to make a change in
the clerkship of his committee, just as such
a change might be made at any time in a
manufacturing or other establishment He
said that this action was no reflection on
Major Huxford, who for fifteen years has
been clerk of his committee, and in no re-
mote way did 1t relate to Major Huxford's
relationship to Samuel Fessenden of Stam-
ford, Conn, who has been the senator's
active political opponent at times. Major
Huxford the senator said he supposed
very naturally was friendly to Mr.. Fessen-
den, as 1t was natural that he should be
toward his brother-inlaw, but this in no
way affected the senator's feelings toward
him. He said that Major Huxford while
clerk of the committee had been recorder
of the District of Columbia Commandery
of the Order Of the Loyal Legion, and had
given his mornings to that work, as well
as some of his afternoons. Senator Haw-
ley considered that he could have the work
Of the committee done better by having
some one attend to it who would give il his
entire time and attention, and for that
reason had promoted the assistant clerk
r. W. Thompson, to be clerk and Addison
G. Smith had been appointed to be assist
ant clerk. The former has been connected
with the committee for five years and the
latter has for ten years been engaged as
clerk OF other senatorial committees.
The senator resents the idea that has
been put forward that his action has been
influenced in any degree by Major Hux-
ford's relationship with his political oppo-
nent in his home state
