Oyster Bay, Sept. 14-By authority of
he President the statement was made
today that the complication which arose
over the eawanahaka- Corlnthlan Yacht
Club dinner had developed from mis-
understanding. The President explained
to ColoneI Gate Hoyt, chairman OF the

could not attend a large formal dinner
as by so doing he would be unjust to
many friends and organizations whose IN
vitations to similar affairs he had been
obliged to decline.
The President further wishes it to be
known that he diu not IN the remotest
way object to the presence of Sir Thomas
Upton at the dinner.
Mr.. Hoyt, after seeing the President to-
day gave out a statement quoting let
ter from Secretary Loeb saying 1t would
be particular pleasure to the Presl-
dent if Sir Thomas Upton could come
to the dinner, that he has high regard
for Sir Thomas and earnestly desires that
he be present at the dinner.
