New York, April AZ. H. Hartman
today made the following statement re-
Iative to the recent exchange of ccrrc-
spondence between President Roosevelt
and himself:
Il do not intend to continue this con-
troversv. You gentlemen (meaning the
reporters) must try to help me and not
ask me TO answer questions, the an
swers to which are self-evident.
Everybody knows that the contest
for the senatOTship in 1904 was between
Messrs. Black and Depew. and there
could not possibly have been any other
candidate There was no bargain
whereby money was to be raised in con-
sideTation of having Depew appointed
ambassador TO France or made United
States senator, and my letter TO Mr..
Webster does not so state. That part
of the agreement was for the purpose
Of harmonizing the Black-Depew forces
