NOT TO MIX IN OHIO POLITICS.
President Has Declined to Speak in
Cleveland.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 4.-President
Roosevelt today declined an invitation to
speak in Cleveland because he feared that
such speech would be construed as a
boom for Secretary Of War Taft The
President, according to private advices, re-
ceived here this afternoon from the ma
tional capital, said he did not care to mix
personally in politics In Ohio.
J. H. Treadway. president Of the Cleve-
land Chamber of Commerce. was introduced
to President Roosevelt today by Congress-
man Burton, and he extended an invita-
ton to him to come hert as guest of honor
at the chamber Of commerce banquet in
September and incidentally make a speech
Treadway made a special trip to Washing
ton to extend the invitation, believing that
personal invitation would have more
weight than a written one. The Presidtnt
declined the invitation with regrets.
Representative Burton is the leader Of
the faction in Ohio that Is fighting Senators
Dick and Foraker, and Is now aligned with
the Taft forces.

carried him to the house, where he notified
the family.
Convinced Of Foul Play.
DR.. Marvin is convinced that his son
met with foul play. Shortly after the body
was found he said:
Though am unable to examine Horace
closely until the coroner arrives. / am
certain he was murdered. his body brought
back and left lying on the marsh to give
the impression that he wandered out there
and died. The clothing showed no signs Of
having been burned, as would undoubtedly
have been the case had the body lain there
when the fire swept over the marsh"
The doctor would not allow an e1amina-
tion to be made by any one until the eoro-
ner and a physician had made full and
complete investigation.
Affair to Be Rigidly Probed.
Inasmuch as DR.. Marvin desires full and
complete investigation OF the affair. Attor-
ney General Hastings and his deputy will
see to the examination of the body, and II
foul play is shown to order arrests If posi-
Bile.
Detectives who have been on the case are
inclined to the belief that the boy wandered
into the marshes from the farm on the day
OF his disappearance. and being overcome by
the cold, fell exhausted where the body was
found.
Pleasanton, who discovered the body, has
figured in the case since the moment Horace
was lost, having first reported that he had
seen the two strange men, who appeared
there inquiring about the topography of
the country three days before the disap-
pearance.
The recovery of the body was reported to
Gov. Lea in Wilmington, who directed state
detectives to make a rigid investigation into
all the circumstances.
A later examination Of the body shows
that it was somewhat bloated, which lends
strength to the belief that the boy wan
dered on the marsh and was drowned. The
coroner will begin his investigation to-
morrow. State Chemist Wolfe has been
ordered to Dover and directed to make an
examination of the body.

Gov. Hughes IL Shocked.

WV AukACo - oASSAOos
II cannot tell you how shocked and sad
dened I am by this event." said Gov.
Hughes. In speaking of Mr.. Huffcut's death.
Dean Huffcut was not only my legal adj
wiser, but had long been my personal friend.
and 1 had the highest admiration for his
qualities Of mind and heart. He succeeded
me in the law faculty at Cornell University.
and later became the dean Of that faculty.
He was extremely popular with the STU
dents. and with the members of the uni
versity faculty, indeed, with all with whom
he came in contact. He was regarded as
one. of the brilliant men who have ever
been identified with the university. He was
an exceptionally clear thinker, and his rare
abilities as a lawyer had attracted wide
attention.
when Judge Pound went on the bench
Dean Huffcut, in the last months of his ad-
Higgins. ! found him in that capacity, and
was only too glad to have the benefit Of
his services in my administration.
Work Is Spoken of Highly.
II understand that he was ON Sabbatical
leave from the university. so that arrange
ments were made by which he could give
full time to the legal work of the executive
department. cannot speak too highly of
the work he has done in this office He has
been working very hard, particularly OF
late, but ! had no idea that he was In any
danger Of a breakdown. When l lett Al
bany yesterday morning he was the last
person to whom said goodbye, and ne ac-
companied me down the elevator chatting
about current events and apparently In the
best of spirits.
Dean Huffcut, in his connection with
the state administration, had entered upon
a career rich In promise of the greatest use
fulness and not only feel keen sense of
personal loss, but that the state has lost
one who was qualified for most important
public service"
Nervous Breakdown Cause of Suicide.
Nervous strain, due to long-continued
overwork, resulting in insomnia, Is the
probable cause of Mr.. Huffcut's suicide.
Mr.. Huffcut was born at Kent, Conn.,, In
1850, and was graduated from Cornell Uni
versity In 1884. He was for time private
secretary to President Andrew D. White at
Cornell, and was an instructor in English
at Cornell in 1SSS-9O. Later he was pro-
fessor of law in Northwestern University
and Indiana University. In 1898 he returned
to Cornell as a professor of law, and in
1903 he was made dean of the faculty OF
law at Cornell University. He became coun-
sci to the late Gov. Higgins in 1905, and
was retained in that capacity by Gov.
Hughes.
He was active in legislative reform move
ments and was the author Of several legal
works. including THE Law Of Agency"
