not only the amounts expended. but the
names of contributors and the sums
given.
President Roosevelt in his last mes
sage to Congress pleaded for a Fed
eral law to compel the publication OF
all national election contributions. and
he feels keenly the humiliation OF the
Illegally given insurance money as a fac
tor in his election.
The four men summoned by the Pres
ident came here quietly and almost Sc
cretly. Secretary Root. Senator Lodge,
and Mr.. Choate, arrived together on
q train. which arrived in Oyster Bay at
dusk. Their names had not been made
public at the executive office, where the
coming OF callers is usually announced
They refused TO be interviewed, stat
ing that they themselves did not know
the purpose OF their visit to the Presf-
dent. They were driven to Sycamore
Hill, where they were met by Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou. who drove over
from Huntington. The details of the
message to Congress. deal

ONLY ONE CREW TO BEAT.
Opinion of Coach for the Vespers'
Crew of PHILADELPHIA.

HENLEY, Eng, June 2S.-"We have only
one crew to beat and think we can do it,
was Coach Dempsey's verdict this morning
after the crew of the vespers boat club of
Philadelphia came In from practice. His
opinion was Endorsed by the English pro-
fessonal Haines, a well-known coach who
had been watching the Phladelphians
close. Haines said: eff Leander and YES
per had to row tomorrow I would back Yes
per. If they can only reproduce in the
race what they show in practice the farther
they go the worse 1t will be for Leander"
The British riverside frequenters, how
ever. generally believe that the Leanders
will retain the grand challenge cup.
There was a strong wind on the river
this morning and the Vespers did nothing
but spirits and a smart paddle over half
the course.
