TAFT TO KEEP OUT OF
FIGHT IN NEW YORK

BEVERLY. Mass, Aug. 26.-Indica
tions continue TO multiply here that
President Taft's participation IN the
New York state fight is ended for good.
The president is not a resident of New
York and does not feel it to sbe the
province Of the president TO interfere
in local politics.
Taft was drawn into New York poll
tics reluctantly. He was glad to see
the various leaders as they called and
he urged upon them the Importance
of an amicable adjustment of affairs
prior TO the state convention. This,
IL appears. was impossible, and now the
night goes to the convention. Taft
Will keep hands off"
The president. it is said. feels far
more keenly that he let appear in his
letter to Griscom the false light he
was placed in by anonymous state
ments from oyster Bay and New York.
He had every reason to believe that
leaders close TO Colonel Roosevelt knew
exactly what his attitude was and that
they had first hand knowledge that
Taft had done none of the underhand
things attributed 10 him.
