afternoon that the only point upon which
fault was officially found with Sir Alexan-

letter to Rear Admiral Davis.
The proprety Of the governors action in
dispensing with the services Of the Ameri-
can naval contingent was never called into
question. and, therefore, to set forth the
governors reasons for so doing would not
serve any useful purpose, but rather the
reverse.

charge of having quarreled with Davis.

RUMCR OF A CHANGE.
Report That Controller Tracewell is to

A rumor going the rounds that r. J.

soon lose his position can not be verified.
If that is the program 1t rs known only to
the President and Secretary Cortelyou, who
has charge of the treasury and claims the
responsibility of naming and removing the
men under him.
Those familiar with Mr.. Tracewell's work
and his political backing have their doubts
as to the accuracy of the story. The Presi-
dent had an opportunity to remove Mr.
Tracewen at the time Of the post office
scandals, but did not do SO, feeling satis-
fled that Mr.. Traceweu had no personal
knowledge of any of the wrongs committed
or of the schemes to get the best OF the
government. The conduct of the con-
troller's Office has apparently been salts
factory to the administration, and nothing
has been heard of any charges involving
the office.
The fact OF strongest value to Controller
Tracewell is that he holds his office by the
backing of Vice President Fairbanks and
Senator Hemenway. The Vice President
has made no requests for appointments or
retention in Office Of his friends since he
became the second executive official of the

FAVORABLE FOR FORAKER
POLITICAL COMMENT ON CHAIR
MAN BROWNS ATTITUDE.
"Show Down" in Ohio Not to Be Made
in November-Strength Of
Taft's Boom.

Ohio politicians in town say that the stand
taken by Republican State Chairman
Brown in opposition to calling for a primary
show down on the ForakerTaft contest on
! the day of the municipal elections next No
vember is first blood for Foraker. They ar
que that to begin with 1t was Senator For
aker S wish not to confound the national
and municipal issues, and secondly. Chair
man Brown attitude is construed to mean
that the state committee is still favora BILE
to Foraker. At the last state convention the
committee was II to Z for Foraker.
The politicians say that the practical
significance of this decision Is that further
time is to be allowed for the possibility of
President Roosevelts support of the Taft
boom relaxing. All well-posted Ohio poll
ticians say that there is nothing to the Taft
boom but Roosevelt Without the Presi-
dents support Secretary Taft, they say
would have only sentiment-a kind affec-
tomato and in every way complimentary
sentiment, to be sure, but lacking the foun-
dalton of practical politics Secretary Taft
they point out, has not been associated with
active Ohio politics, while Senator Foraker
has been a militant figure in the political
arena for more than quarter Of century
Secretary Taft has held offices, but it is as
Serted they have been appointive and not
elective, whereas Senator Foraker has won
his at the point of the bayonet in the bitter
est kinds of political charges and defense
of the trenches.
The Ohio men agree that President Roose-
Welt will have to stick to his candidate and
work for him in season and out of season,
in order to keep up the Taft end. But they
realize the possibility of many things hap
penfng in the next twelve months before
the contest Is to come TO issue, and in the
meantime the President may have to change
allegiance. They say that the moment he
gets from under Taft the Taft boom is at
an end.
