STORY rs DOUBTED
IN WASHINGTON

Washington, May 16. Stories that
Secretary of the Treasury, Cortelyou.
has been quietly undermining the
Taft boom through a manipulation of
federal patronage, especially in the
south, and that he is jockeying for
the presidential nomination, next year
for himself are not believed here.
Cortelyou is one of Rooseyelt's clos,
est advisers and has never been be-
fore accused of disloyalty to his
chief. There is no question, however,
that Cortelyou is seriously considered
as available timber; not for 1908 but
for 1912. His work as an admins
tratige officer in three cabinet posi-
tions. as well as Secretary under two
presidents, makes him more familiar
with the business Of the government
than any other man In public life.

FIGHT IS ONLY BEGUN.

That Foraker and the interests
back of him are not going 20 give
up the senatorship without a fight
is being made more and more eyld-
ent, every day. Foraker's re-
nouncing MS presidential aspirations
made it very plain that he has no
hope of winning the Ohio ind9rSe-
ment and the Buckeye delegation in
the next national convention. Tie
has all of the while been directing
his efforts TO succeeding hiIuself in
the senate. The Taft sentiment in
Ohio was found TO be very strong
and Foraker's hope laid III creating
q following which would compel
Taft TO enter into an agreement
not to oppose him for senator. For

ago, believing that by Voluntarily
surrendering the Ohio delegation to
Taft, the secretary would feel So
greatly under obligations 10 him
that he would readily consent to
his reelection TO the senate How
greatly he was mistaken is well
known.

made, Foraker returned 10 the fight

south 10 sound the sentiment for
Taft. He returned with q long face
to throw cold water on the Tart
boom, but explained that everybody
south was for Roosevelt. This was
used as evidence that the president
could not transfer his strength to
Taft.
Cortelyou Is at the bottom it now
appears Of the shakeup in Tennes-
see politics and patronage.
Representative Brownlow has
claimed to be for Taft, but Cor
telyou. persuaded the president that
his professions were insincere and
to recognize II. Clay Evans and
State Chairman Newell Sanders.
The latter is a eonfidant of Cor
;teloyu and Hitchcock, and it now
develops that ihe Evans-Sanders
wing has as yet shown no pro-
nounced Taft sentiments that any
one can discover on public record.
They are trying to send solid
Roosevelt term delegation.
Brownlow has made n public dec
la.ration for Taft, and he and his
crowd announce that they will con-
tinue TO fight for delegation
pledged TO the Ohio candidate. But
the federal patronage club continues
to swing, with COTtelyou discharg-
ing the Brownl0w men under the
treasury department and Hitchcock
looping Off their postmasters.
j. w. Dillon, surveyor of the
port Of Nashville, who was marked
for slaughter brought proof of ef-
ficient administration of his office
TO Washington and tried to argue.
Cortelyou was too busy to lsten.
Dillon asked what he might do to
be saved and Cortelyou replied:
"You had better get in touch with
Mr.. Sanders. Yesterday Hitch
cock bounced Col. Arch NJ. Hughes
from the Columbia, Tenn, postof-
flee, but Brownlow men who desert
his banner and re-enlist with San
ders and Evans are held in place or
promoted.
Along with this practical work
Mr.. Cortelyou continues to pour
cold water on the Taft boom
through the press. lie has friends
whom it is easy to inspire with his
views and almost any correspond
ent who receives what is apparent
ly an inside political secret from a
cabinet officer with permission to
print without the use Of his name
will accept it as fact on that
authority without troubling the
White House for verification.
III worse comes to worst and
Cortelyou is smoked out, he has
ready defense against any charge
OF disloyalty for technically, and Of
the president has no candi-
date, although he has repeatedly
SAID he would crawl from the White
House to the capitol if that would
nominate Taft.

Some were deuded into believing
that Foraker had thrown up the
