AID FOR HUGHES
FROM ROOSEVELT
Cortelyou Thought to Be
Bearer of Message
Again.

President Roosevelt Is making no at
tempt to conceal his deep interest in
the New York situation. To callers
from the Empire State he freely ex-
pressed himself in opposition to Cover
nor Hughes political enemies He has
made clear that he will extend every
inference OF the Administration 10 aid
Hughes in his fight against the so
called grafters. and IL is understood that
he Is encouraging the condolences OF the
governor and his friends.
In this connection. Secretary Cortel-
you's sudden departure from the city
is of considerable significance. Al
though IL is announced at the Treasury
Department that the Secretary and his
wife have gone 10 New York on a
pleasure trip, IL is recognized that no
man stands closer in the confidence Of
the President than his former private
secretary. and there is no one better
qualified 10 unostentatiously extend
these expressions OF most distinguished
consideration" than he.
1t was Cortelyou who. last summer,
acted as the intermediary between the
President and Hughes, In those trying
with the State machine in an endeavor
70 side-track the latter's candidate for
governor 1t was he whose successful
negotiations finally brought Hughes the
nomination.
The situation between the President and
Hughes Is most peculiar. The governor,
who recognizes the depth Of gratitude he
owes the President, Is excessively timid
In suggesting cooperation, now that no
has the reins Of State government, while
the President feels chary about formally
rendering his good offices for fear Hughes
might feel that the President had an Ill
terror object. 1t is believed. however
that before many weeks the President
and Hughes Will be working together In
the closest harmony.

HAYWOOD CASE
TESTIMONY TO
BE KEPT CLOSE
Steve Adams, Who Con-
feSSed, May Not Go
On Stand.

BOISE, Idaho. May 4.-Judge Wood,
according to reports current today, has
decided TO hold the testimony in the
Haywood case as close as possible to
the murder of former Governor Steun-
enberg.
It seems probable, therefore. that there
Is truth in the report that Judge Wood
viii admit only such testimony as IS
necessary to bring out all the facts re-
lating to this murder.
Naturally, HaywoOds record would
figure IN this showing but to Just what
extent cannot be known until the ques-
lions of the admissibility Of the de-
Tense are argued in court. Attorneys
for the State believe that the trial viii
be finished by the Fourth Of July.
Adams Not to Testify?
It is reported that steve Adams, who
long promised 10 be one Of the star
figures in the case, may be left out Of
Il. He made a confession to Detective
Mcfarland, the Pinkerton in charge
of the collection Of evidence for the
prosecution, so Mcfarland said. in
which he alleged that officials of the
Wesern Federation had hired him to
throw Greek fire on a trainload of non
unionists and to perform other crimes
equally bloody.
Adams has since repudiated the al
legged confession. A close friend OF
Haywood said today that Adams repu-
diatioE destroyed hts value as a witness
for the State. In view Of his contra
dicuons ii is not thought probable that
he would add anything Of value to the
ueiense and that he will be placed on
the retired list.
BOrah Attacks Beatty.
Senator Borah, Of counsel for the
state, has issued a statement attacking
former Judge James B. Beatty. in reply
10 statements made by Beatty in Wash
ington- Judge, Beatty presided at the
time the grand jury was in session re-
Gently which returned indictments
against a number Of persons for alleged
timber land frauds. It is alleged that
one of the indictments was found against
Senator Borah. Judge Beatty, in his
Washington interview, said no attempt
was made 70 influence the jury.
Senator BOrah's statement follows.
4 have read Judge Beatty's state
ment and have only this TO say: Judge
Beatty Tor the last year seems to have
utterly forgotten the high position he
holds. During the last campaign for the
senatorship he used his position in n
shameless and utterly dishonOrable waY
Tor MS political advantage. He did NOT
hesitate TO receive favOrs from litlgants
