New York, Feb. 1S.-Charles W
Morse pleaded not guilty to charge OF
perjury and was released on $4,000

out of The loan of $4,000 to E. Il.

National Bank of North America. o.

that Morse then authorized the bank

NEW ENGLAND
REPUBLICANS

Boston, Mass, Feb. 1S.-After spend
ing three days looking over the poll
tical situation in Connecticut, Secre-
tary Taft went to New Hampshire to-
day to make two speeches, one at Con-
cord this afternoon and the second at
Manchester this evening. Tomor-
row the Secretary of War will return
to Massachusetts and during the next
day or or two he will be heard in Low
ell and other Massachusetts cities.
The Taft managers in this section,
while protesting themselves well sat
isfied with the outlook, realize never
theless, that as things now stand it is
a toss-up as to whether Taft or
Hughes will receive the support of
the New England delegates to the
Chicago convention. The general SEN
timent among New England Republic
ans is very favorable toward Taft. He
has a strong hold on Maine, and Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and Connec-
ticut look upon him very favorably.
Some anti-Taft sentiment has arisen
in New Hoampshire but the Taft man
ayers, supported by several Of the
foremost Republican leaders in New
Hampshire, expect to have everything
in line before the State convention
meets. in Vermont and in Western
Massachusetts Governor Hughes is
well thought of, which is due probably
to the proximity of this section to
New York. Fairbanks spoke in va
rious parts of New England several
times last summer and fall, but ap-
parantly did not make a very deep i'm
preston. Speaker Cannon probably
is stronger in this section than the
Vice President. The real situa-
ton appears to be that the larger
part of New England stands ready to
support either Taft, Hughes or Can
non. Taft has secured the GeTvices of
some very able political managers and
may become dominant in most of the
New England States within the next
sixty days
