Snecial to the New Mexican.

Washington, April 1.-THE many
and serious charges made against
Governor Hagerman by prominent Re
publicans and many ex-members ol
the Legislative Assembly have been
examined by Attorney General Bona
parte and, according to the best infor
nation obtainable his report is ad
verse to Governor Hagerman.
The Governor and Territorial Treas
urer Hughes left last evening at 1880
o'clock via st. Louis for Santa Fe and
it is understood that action will be
taken upon Governor Hagerman's ar.
rival in Santa re which will likely re-
suit in his leaving the office. He IS
scheduled to reach home Monday.
Delegate Andrews was a caller at
the White House this forenoon twice
and had interviews with the Prest
dent.
Two Denver Dispatches.
The difference between respectable
enterprising and decent newspapers
and sensational yellow sheet, is
we'll illustrated in clippings, one taken
from the Denver Republican of April
10th, and one from the Denver Post
of April 14th Both dispatches are
from the special correspondents OF
these papers in the National Capital.
The dispatch in the Republican con-
tains evidently correct information,
while the dispatch in the Post is
false, colored, magnified, padded and
slushy.
Republican Conservative.
The dispatch In the Denver Repub-
lican reads:
Governor Hagerman Of New Mex
leo left for home today. Before leav-
ing he talked with friends about his
case, telling them what transpired at
the White House, and while his
friends are not inclined to talk, they
strongly intimate that Governor Hag-
erman is soon to sever his connection
with the service.
when asked if Governor Hager-
man was to be removed 1T was stated
that no such harsh measure was to be
expected.
"'Well, does he intend to resign?'
was asked
eff he does not resign, he may hear
further from Washington, was the
reply"
Post Sensational and False.
The dispatch in the Denver Post
reads:
Governor H. J. Hagerman of New
Mexico, had an hours interview with
President Roosevelt this afternoon ex-
planning the charge of graft and the
alleged granting of lands to the Penn
sylvaniH Development Company.
These charges were bruited about
New Mexico for weeks by Governor
Hagerman's enemies and were finally
lodged with the President, together
with a request that a new executive
be appointed.
Governor Hagerman will have an
other conference with the President
on Monday, after which he will return
to his duties at Santa Fe. When the
youthful executive left the White
House he was in jolly mood and
readily consented to talk. He de-
clared that his interview with Pres
ident Roosevelt had been satisfactory
and that he had no intention of re-
signing.
IT will go back and fight that
bunch of FOUNDERS and gangsters to
the last ditch he declared with con-
siderable emphasis. MY enemies
have tried their best to unseat me,
but they have failed for the simple
reason that they are in the wrong
and the President knows 1t just as
we'll as they do"
Governor Hagerman reviewed to the
Post correspondent the story of the
last session of the legislature of New
Mexico, which has just terminated
and said generally that his ideas had
,een carried out Notwithstanding that
he organization was alleged to be
gainst him. He called people in op-
bsition to his policies by their first
times and generally thought that the
forms which he had instituted we're
aNeptable to the people of New
