Nothing occurred at the White House
yesterday TO Indicate that more reveia-
lions are imminent in regard to the al
legged plot to overthrow President Roose-
veits control OF the Republican party.
All was calm and qliet there. 1t is the
ealmness. however. that precedes as we'll
as follows the storm. II there be anything
in hints conveyed by those who have
inside knowledge OF what the President
has up his sleeve.
The published statements that gigan-
tic cabal exists within the dominant polit-
icai party to wrest from the President
the power to name the next candidate of
the Republicans for the office which Mr.
Roosevelt now holds have been followed.
as might have been expected. by a food
of letters and kilograms from prominent
men Of his political faith, pledging their
support TO him in his effort to prevent the
ascendency of those who are charged with
being concerned in the alleged conspiracy
10 control the next Republican national
convention.
Others not prominent have been heard
from also. Beyond the fact that these
communications have been received, no
statement was forthcoming from the
White House in connection with the sen
sational allegations Of the last few days
that the President was beset by COM
bination OF politicians and capitalists who
We're determined to end the radicalism
that had been injected into the Republi-
can party.
Two Senator'S Cali.
The most significant occurrence Of the
day was the appearance at the White
House Of Senator Jonathan NJ. Bourne. of
Oregon. and Senator Henry c. Hans
Trough. Of North Dakota. both OF whom
have been mentioned as among those
present at the dinner where Senator Pen
rose. OF Pennsylvania is said TO have told
Of the conspiracy 10 overthrow the
President Senator Bourne is said 10
have been the host at this dinner. and
Senator Hansbrough a guest. They ar
rived at the executive offices at about
the same time.
Senator Bourne was accompanied by a
constituent, and this was afterwaTd cited
as reason why ordinary routine matters
were discussed between the President
and himself. Secretary Loed said that
Senator Bourne came 10 talk over affairs
concerning the Land ONCE which tends
10 confirm the impression that although
Senator Bourne has been In Washington
a short time only. he is doing a land Of
nee business With the President.
Both Senator Bourne and Senator Hans
br0ugh would give no satisfaction 10 the
reporters when they were asked about
the dinner. at which Senator Penrose is I
supposed 10 have disclosed the cabal
against MIR. Roosevelt. Secretary Loeb. /
who was reported 10 have been one OF
the guests at this historical affair. merely
smiled when asked for particulars.
