"T c. dupont"
Causes Little Surprise.
General duponts withdrawal from the
campaign caused little surprise IN national
headquarters. It had been foreshadowed
since the Democrats began 10 train their
guns upon him and argue that Governor
Haskelrs connection with the Democratic
Committee was no worse than General
ddPont's connection with the Republican
Committee. President Roosevelt had let II
be known that he objected TO the reten-
tion OF General DUPONT in the office Of
head Of the Speakers Bureau. and this
was regarded as the last word.
Mr.. Hitchcock declared General du-
Points resignation was written on Tues
day and would have been acted upon the
following day If Mr.. Hitchcock had ar.
rived in the city. as was originally plan
ned. It was not asked or urged. he
said.
General DUPONT has been an active figure
in national headquarters since he was
named as head OF tho Speakers Bureau
He was attacked in magazine articles as
soon as IL was announced that he was TO
have a part I'm the campaign work. II was
pointed out that he was the virtual head
OF a corporation that controls the powder
industry and is now sbelng investigated
by the federal government This criticism
subsided. however. and was not revived
until the Haskell incident Besides being
a member OF the Executive Committee
General DUPONT was a member OF sub
committee Of three which was named by
Mr. Hitchcock 10 straighten out the
Swlsher-Scherr trouble In West Virginia.
The DUPONT matter was taken up by Mr.
Hitchcock Immediately upon his arrival
in New York from Chicago early in the
afternoon. He seemed glad last night that
] Il had been settled. He talked about the
incident as IL it were OF little Importance
and discussed freely the work Of the
campaign and the criticism that has been
directed at him for not making the can
vass one OF noise and red FIRE from the
start
Mr. Hitchcock Firm.
Admitting ne had been criticised on
many sides and by persons occupying i'm.
portant positions he said he stM felt that
, his idea OF a four weeks campaign. be-
ginning IN October would be FAR more
effective than a campaign spread over
seven or eight weeks. Tie declared fur
ther that his ideas. which were approved
by all the party leaders when they were
first suggested. viii be carried out despite
an reports 70 the contrary.
There was no criticism OF the plan
originally, he said. Mr. Taft approved II
and even commended it highly. Great care
