CLOSED TO WHITNEY.
President Denied Formers Request for
White House Interview.

Henry NJ Whitney, democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor at the last election.
made public at Boston last night CORE
spondence which had been passed between
President Roosevelt and himself concern
ing the statements made by the President
during an interview last winter which was
granted to a committee from Massachu-
sets on reciprocal trade relations. The
President informed a Massachusetts, COM
mittee that called on him last week in IA
vor of free hides that Mr.. Whitney had
deliberately misrepresented what had oc-
Cured at last winters conference. With
this experience in mind, the President de-
clined to enter upon discussion OF free
hides with the free hides committee, the
chairman of which was Gov. William L..
Douglas.
The statement of Mr. Whitney during the
recent canvass in Massachusetts that the
President told him he favored reciprocity
with Canada was that to which the Presi-
had made public his address to the hides
committee, charging Mr.. Whitney with mis-
representation. Mr.. Whitney maintained
that the President had certainly spoken
in favor OF reciprocity with Canada on
broad lines during their interview.
In the correspondence which Is given
publicity Mr.. Whitney wrote to President
Roosevelt that the President had done him
great injustice in charging him with will
full Misrepresentation, requested an inter-
view with the President, and expressed his
regret that reciprocity did not have the
Presidents Endorsement.
In his reply President Roosevelt declares
that Mr.. Whitney's letter furnishes addi-
tional evidence ''of the wisdom OF my
refusing to communicate further with you,'
and asserts that nothing he has ever said
has given Mr.. Whitney the slightest war
rant in making the statement that reci-
procity was not to have the Presidents aid
He charges Mr. Whitney with making adj
ditional deliberate misstatements, and
closes by refusing to grant the requested
interview

advance. Later another reaction occurred on
general proft-taking. Following heavy liqui-
dation by one of the leaders of the bull
clique, pit traders turned active sellers The
result was slump to 81 16$s. The shorts
took advantage of the break and covered
freely causing a partial recovery. The mar
ket closed firm with May at 81 16AQ1 H.

opened unchanged to shade higher at 44A0

Increased receipts had a depressing EFFECT
on the oats market but prices showed only
slight losses May closed at 30tsc.
