publican national committee will be
reached before the convention assem-
bles, but that it has not been reached
yet, it is asserted positively.
The president has adhered to his de-
termination announced months ago not
to permit himself to be drawn into any
contest that might arise over the nom
nation of a candidate for the vice
presidency. Naturally. he is interest
ed in the matter, but he believes hat
it ought to be determined by the party
