Of Republican Clubs in
New York
NO ENGAGEMENTS FOR
POLITICAL SPEECHES

By a stan Correspondent OF The United
Press.
LONDON, June 9.-There will be no
keynote" speech by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt to open the next congressional
campaign as planned by the men in con-
troll of the League of Republican Clubs.
Colonel Roosevelt to-day authorized the
United Press to deny the report that he
accepted the invitation Of Congressman J.
Hampton Moore, Of Philadelphia. to ad-
dress the League Of Republican Clubs. IN
a letter the former President states that
he has made no engagements to partici-
pate in Political gatherings and cannot de
SO at present
The Colonel is annoyed by the report
from the United States Of extensive en-
gagements made for political speeches.
His close friends point out that the stories
are being circulated FOR political effect.
They declare that in many instances the
false statements of alleged political en-
gagement are undoubtedly circulated by
members of the regular Republican party
organization to make 1t appear that Roose-
Welt intends to aid them IN their fight
against the progressives This is the way
that the announcement that he would ad-
dress the League of Republican Clubs.
thus sounding the keynote for the congress
sional campaign about to open IS regard
ed by those who enjoy the Coloners cons
fdence.
The league is controlled by regulars aud
reactionaries and an address under its
auspices would pledge Roosevelt, by inn
plication at least, as endorsing its poll
cies.
The only positive engagement OF even
a semi political nature made by Colonel
Roosevelt is to attend the dinner arranged
by Robert J. Collier I'm New York and that
was fixed before Roosevelt started for
Africa. The address, to the Rough Riders
Organization, TO the Conservation Con-

''DE FACTOS" OF
COUNCIL MEET
Talk Over the Situation, But
Not Much Worried
About il

Members of City Council met last
night for committee work at the City
Hall, and Of course the conversation
turned to the decision of the judges
declaring the law invalid under which
the last city election was held. Some
of the Democratic Councilmen were
wondering just where they stood as
ofiiceholders. During a meeting of the
law committee somebody raised the
question as to the legality of the COM
mittee, and nothing was done with the
pool room tax ordinance, which the
members are reluctant to act on. A
good excuse for a postponement was
had by falling back on the question
of legality. IL also is desired to give
a public hearing on the ordinance.
The situation was viewed mostly in
a humorous light, and it was agreed
that Councilman Kane has been a
member OF that body so long that il
would take a whole battery Of deci-
sions to dislodge the Fourth ward
