WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-W. G.
Haskell sealer OF weights and meas,
ures for the District OF Colum bia, was
hurriedly summoned TO the White
House this morning. for conference
with the president. The object of this
conference, II is understood. is to un-
ravel the mystery OF the Haskell
who is involved in the Standard Oil
bribery charges in Ohio.
Mr.. Haskell would make no state.
ment after the conference. but init.
mated that the president might do SO
later
Oh, Yes! other HaskelIs.
Asked II the knew of any other
Haskell who might be involved in the
measures replied:
There Is a preacher named Haskell
but, of course. he Is eliminated. There
is also another Haskell, whose full
name I do not know, who resides In

med with activity today. The presi'
dent devoted himself almost exclusive
" to the subject matter contained In
Mr.. Bryan's telegram and nearly the
entire STAFF of the executive officeAwas
set to work. looking up court records
and other records of vital Importance
II is certain that sharp reply to Mr.
Bryans telegram from Detroit will not
be long delayed. There are many h
tications that the center OF political
activity in the Republican ranks has
shifted from New York and Chicago
to Washington, and that now his vaca
ton Is over the president will direc'
things with even more energy than
that which characterized his work al
Oyster Bay. The president lost nc
time getting In touch with several
men who had valuable information &c
.impart on the political situation and
during the remaining days OF the cam
paign much Of his time during the
morning hours will be devoted TO poll
tics.
In addition to Postmaster Genera
Meyer, Secretary Garfield was or
