tation with the President, Mr.. Courtel-
YOU declined to discuss the situation In
New York. II is believed, however, that
the administration leaders are somewhat
worried. In the past few days the Presi-
dent has been urged by those 10 charge
of the Hughes campaign to come out 10
some sort of formal statement in order to
help them ont. They believe that the
verbal message which he sent through
Marcus Braun, the Hungarian reputli-
can leader, Saturday night, will have a
good effect, but they feel that the situa-
ton demands declaration OF more for
NAL and more elaborate character from
the White House. The whole business
was gone over very carefully at this
mornings conference. If the President
should decide that it would not be COM
patible with the dignity of his office to
write letter to Mr. Hughes, it is proba-
bic that when Mr.. Root makes his Utica
speech be will embody therein the Pres
ident's views of the issue with the state
ment that he speaks by authority OF the
President. The conference of the two
cabinet members with the President last
ed until IL o'clock. Neither could be
induced to discuss the matters under
consideration when they left the White
House.
