vation to have the railroads super.
vised and partly the alleged fact that
after promising Mr.. Hartman to APP
point Senator Depew ambassador to
France, he, the president, failed to

ton repeated to the president that
Mr.. Sherman had gone TO Mr.. Harri-

Hartman Asked Favor.
The president says that Hartman
also urged him to promise to make
Mr.. Dcpew ambassador because this
would help Governor Odell by pleasing
certain big financial interests. The
president said he informed Mr.. Har-
riman that he did lot believe it would
be possible to appoint Mr.. Depew and
