Roosevelt's Statements.

Washington, April S.-President
Roosevelt, it was officially stated with
the full consent Of the president him
self, believes that the disclosures he
has made regarding the Hartman
observation-disclosures conspiracy to de-
feat his policies will put the people
on guard to see that only delegates
who can be trusted are elected to the
national Republican convention,
Although Senator Penrose's denial
that he was in any way implicated in
the conspiracy was shown the pres.
ident there was no effort made at the
White House to clear the Pennsyl-
Yantan Of the charge. Neither would
the president or Secretary Loeb Off
oially nominate him No. 10 in the
Apanias club.
The presidents confidence in the
truth OF the story of the dinner and
subsequent events is mistaken and he
went to the extent Of announcing that
just as fast as the further details came
to him they would be made public.
The whole tenor of the presidents
talk and the "by authority" announce
ment made at the White House was to
the effect that the conspiracy story
had been confirmed to the satisfaction
Of the president, not from one source,
but from several.
Further Publicity Urged.
The presidents friends are now urg.
ing him to make public the entire mat
ter and have done with it. They feel
that the controversy Is unduly pro-
longed and that it Is doing neither the
president nor the party any good
Senator Penrose has been regarded
a. a stahnch friend of the administra-
ton and the White House statement
came as surprise to ALL The senator
has followed up the Roosevelt policies
in the senate and the president even
consented to go into Pennsylvania

Roosevelt regarding Meyer, Haywood
and Debs, especially as to their being
undesirable citizens and the charac-
