HITCHCOCK'S DENIAL
MORE .LIARsv ARE HURLED BY
 ADMINISTRATION.
First Assistant Postmaster General says Conduct Attributed to Him is False True to The
 President.

Washington. Dec. 1s--A brief, but important contribution to current political comment was made this even ing by Frank H. Hitchcock, first As- sistant Postmaster General.
 In breaking the silence he has main tained for several weeks respecting statements concerning him that have been made from time to time. MT. Hitchcock says the statement of Secre- tary Cortelyou published today dis posed of the charge that he has in any manner been aisloyal to President Roosevelt. He s.tys that such charge Is absolutely false and the President knows it to be, having told him SO. Mir Hitchcock's statement follows:
 "I have read Secretary Cortelyou's statement as published in the morning papers. I am sure that the public will accept it as a truthful declaration of a thoroughly sincere man. It disposes of the charge that I have been in any manner disloyaI to the President That charge is absolutely false; in fact the President has told me he knows 1t to be false.
 "I do not care to discuss the matter further. I should not say even this were 1t not for the apprehension that some people who are unfamiliar with the facts may be misled by the state ments circulated"
