Beverly, Mass. July lS-There will
be no Beverly label on the Ohio Re
publican ante-cOnVention situation.
This much was decided upon at the
summer White House today when Just
previous to his departure on a 10-days
cruise along the coast of Maine, Pres
ident Taft had as his luncheon guests
Senators Burton ana Dick and Former
Attorney General Wade Ellis Of Ohio.
Senator Burton motored over from
Boston and spent Il good part of the
forenoon at the Taft residence on Bur
CESS point and Senator Dick and Mr..
Ellis were driven over at 1.30 from one
of the local hotels in an automobile be-
longing to the White House collection.
1t is understood that none of the
three ohio visitors today urged upon
the President the preferences of any
one candidate for the Republican nom
nation for governor. The Ohio situa-
ton was informally discussed, and
while it is known that the President
may have some personal preference in
the matter he will not declare il favor
of any of the three or four candidates
named. preferring to let the convention
take care Of the matter without any
interference on his part.
The Presidents guests left the sum
mer White House just before 80 ana
five minutes later, the President. Mrs.
Taft and the other members ol the
cruising party started for I'll" BOAT
landjgn to board a launch which took
them to the government yacht Ma
flower on which the lO-dayS trip along
the Maine coast is to be made.
After leaving the Taft residence,
Senator Burton returned to Boston by
automobile and Senator Dick and Mr.
Ellis went to the Beverly station, tax
ing an afternoon train for Boston. 1T
is understood Senator Burton planned
to go direct to his home in ONO to-
night. Senator Dick and Mr.. Ellis had
arranged to visit Washington before
returning to their home state, leaving
Boston.
Neither Senator Dick nor Mr. ElliS
had nluch TO say regarding the confer
ence Roth agreed that the meeting
had been entirely satisfactory MT
ellis said that his call on the President
was principally concerned with .n'
platfor,n to be drawn up for the ONO
convention rather than with any can
