I not be possible that it is necessary for me to tell you that the action of the state committee yesterday, in which participated, was in no sense intended as an act of hostility toward you or one Of reflection upon you.
 I saw Ward and Barnes after their talk with you and they told me what you and they had said about this whole matter. and I hope you know, despite some things to the contrary which the newspapers contained this morning, that they told you the exact facts Not one of us supposed that your name would be presented without your notI- fying Ward the national committee man, or me the chairman of the state committee, that you wished 1t done, and I never was so much surprised in my life as when Griscom made the motion which he did Not word had been said to me before the meeting by anybody that indicated this course was to be taken, and I understand that neither Griscom nor anyone else told Ward or Barnes, or any of the other men of the committee, that this was their purpose.
