REPORT is DENIED
That Williams Refused to Speak
in New York.
JUDGE GRIGGS EXPLAINS
Tells Why the Other Was Not As
signed to That State.
ENGAGEMENTS OF MIR. BRYAN
He May Go to the Empire State
to Help Hearst in Last Few
Days Of the Campaign.

The democratic congressional committee
does not like the report that has gone out
to the effect that Mr.. John Sharp Williams
OF Mississippi the leader of the minority
of the House of Representatives, has de-
clined to speak in New York state on ac-
count of his hostility toward Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst. 1t Is declared at the
headquarters in this city that Mr.. Williams
has never expressed any such sentiment, so
far as the committee knows, while the task
of making engagements for him to speak
has been in their hands.
The committee has not assigned Mr..
Williams to speak in New York state this
year." said Judge Griggs, chairman of the
committee because the fight in that state
seems to be very largely along state lines,
and there has appeared to be no special
reason for his ASST snment there. But if
we had assigned hinf we have no reason to
believe that he would have declined to go
to New York.
Mr. Williams Is now moving toward the
north. He will be in North Carolina in
couple of days and on the 18th he will ar
rive in Maryland to remain in that state
four days. Mr.. Vandiver Of the state COM
mittee will attend to the details of Mr.. Will
liams' campaign in Maryland. On the 22d
and 23d he will be in Delaware and on the
25uh he will speak at Louisville, KY, from
which place he will go to Chi Nugo. His it.
inerary for the west will be maoe up by Mr..
John T. Lloyd, chairman of the western
headquarters. 1t is not likely that he will
get back into the east again before election
day, as there are a large number of press
ing engagements for him in the west.
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is now max
ing his way eastwardly, but he is notslikeiy
to get in the "enemy's country. He is
very largely making his own engagements,
although the committee here has expressed
its desire to have him go into several states,
which wishes are being respected in the
making out of his itinerary. The commit
tee wanted him to speak In Missouri, and
he will speak in that state several times.
Mr.. Bryan may go to New York to help
Mr. Hearst out during the last few days of
the campaign. but no information of such
an arrangement has been received in this
city. He will spend nearly all of his time
In the west. He has spoken favorably of
the Hearst candidacy and If Hearst wishes
his assistance he is very likely to go to
New York for final wiad-up.
The congressional committee here is re-
ceiving a great deal of help from its dollar
subscriptions. Several weeks ago, when the
dollar campaign was begun and it had been
widely advertised. the returns came in at
the rate of from $50 to SIS day. AS the
newsraper discussion OF the dollar sub

BEFORE He RETIRES
MR.. MOODY WILL DECIDE AS TO
OIL TRUST PROSECUTION.

In response to inquiries yesterday regard
ing the status Of the investigation into the
affairs of the Standard OIL Company with
a view to determining whether the COM
pany Is operating in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, Attorney General
Moody said that he was not at liberty to
discuss the subject beyond stating that
most of the rumors published recently in
regard to the matter were without founda-
ton. He added, however, that Messrs.
Morrison and Kellogg, who were appointed
some months ago as special assistants to
the Attorney General to investigate the
Standard Oil methods, were prosecuting
their work with commendable vigor and
care, and had accumulted a vast amount
OF testimony bearing upon the case.
This testimony was now being gone over
by the department, and il was quite likely
that definite conclusion would be reached
within the next few weeks as to whether
there had or had not been violations of the
antitrust law. 1t is well understood that
Attorney General Moody is to retire from
the cabinet and resume his law practice in
Boston January 1. and 1t is stated that he
himself fully intends to take the personal
responsibility, before he retires of Initial
ing proceedings against the Standard OH
Company or of publicly stating that in his
judgment such proceedings could not be
justified by the facts obtained.
1t was also learned at the department
that the question of whether there was a
holding company in London which had con-
troll of the Mania ttan OIL Company, al
legged to be one Of the constituent organizes
tions of the Standard Oil Company, is now
under investigation. 1t is understood how
ever. that up TO this time very little If any
thing, has been learned that would show
any connection between the London COM
pany and the Manhattan and the Standard
Oil corporations. Even If such dominating
control as to the Manhattan Company could
be shown it was said at the department
that that fact would not be of such vital
Importance as to prevent the government
from prosecuting the cases here to a sue
cessful issue, provided other points in the
cases upon which the government must rely
in any event can be substantiated
