TAT 7 WAS IGNORED
How New York Leaders
Turned Down Roosevelt.
PRESIDENT MISRfPRfSENIfD
State Committee Was Told He Fav.
ored Sherman For Temporary
Chairman, When He Sug- -
gested Mr.. Roosevelt,

New York. Aug. 23.-President TAFT
not only had no hand in the tricksry
at the meeting OF the Republican state
committee. whereby Billy Ward, Tim
Woodruff. Billy Barnes and Jimmy
Wadsworth succeeded in having mo-
ton adopted naming Vice President
Sherman ~ the temporary chairman
OF the Republican state convention In
place of Mr.. Roosevelt. but In letter
which was received by Chairman Girls
com. OF the Republican county COM
mittee. Il was made plain that Mr..
Taft insisted that before any choice
was made by the committee, Mr..
Roosevelt should be consulted. Mr..
Roosevelt was not consulted.
Mr. Griscom after the meeting stated
that Mr.. Taft had told him that he
would do nothing that would seem TO
apply antagonsm to Mr. Roosevelt,
and Mr.. Griscom states further that
he was sure that the statements made
by Mr.. Woodruff. Mr. Barnes and the
others VINO led the movement for the
choice of Mr. Sherman that their ac-
ton had been sanctioned by Mr.. Taft
was entirely without foundation. When
Mr.. Woodruff was told what Mr.. Girls
com had said the state chairman In
situated that Mr.. GriscOm ought to be
enrolled as a member of the Ananias
club lie said that Mr. sherman, with
whom he had a long talk the night be-
fore. had spoken with Mr. Taft over
the telephone. as had also Mr.. Ward.
and that bOth had been assured by the
president that It would be announced
at the meeting that the selection OF
Mr.. sherman had his approval
So far from Mr. TAFT sending any
such message to either of these men.
he sent L.. gram to Mr.. sherman In
sisting that before any action was
taken by the committee Mr. Roosevelt
should be consulted with and that II
there was need reasonable conces-
sions should be made with the pro-
gressiycs. both with regard to platform
and candidates.
