The President will have nothing to say
as to candidates or platform. He is
not a resident of New York and he does
not feel it to be the province of the
President of the United States to in
terfere or dictate in local fights.
President Taft was drawn into New
York politics reluctantly. He was glad
to see the various leaders as they call
ed and he urged upon all the import
ance of trying to bring about an ami
cable adjustment of affairs prior to the
state convention. This it appears was
impossible and now the fight goes to
