TAFr NOT BUrTING nv.
He RldIcuIes the Report mat he Is 10
Take Part In New York Politics.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.--Visitors at the
White House who asked President Taft
to-day about the reports that he was TO
take an active part in New York politics
and that his prospective trip to Rochester
and Albany was in line with that inten-
tion heard some OF the heartiest laughter
ever heard from a Presidents throat.
Mr.. TAFT ridiculed the story and went on
to explain that his alleged interference
in New York political Affairs was based
on his purpose to oblige New York friends
who were anxious to have him visit the
State on certain occasions.
For more than = year Representative
Perkins has been asking the President TO
visit Rochester and Mr.. Taft had in
formed him that he would be very glad
10 60 there and make a speech before
the Chamber OF Commerce during the
latter part Of this month. Mayor McEwan
OF Albany. who was a classmate OF Mr..
Tart at Yale and who is very active In
the anairs OF the University Club at Al
oany, has been an xious to have the Presi-
dent attend dinner at the club in Mr..
laIt honor and was informed not long
ago by the President that he hoped 70 be
able to visit Albany on his return from
Hocnester the latter part OF this month.
Willingness to attend the Albany Uni
versity Club dinner and invited the Presi-
oent 10 be guest at the Executive Man
sion IN Albany during his visit to that
city.
That is all there is to the story that
President TaftIs prospective visit 70
hocnester and Albany is connected with
the New York political situation. The
President was not asked to make political
speeches on these ocoisions and has no
intention OF doing so. Nothing is further
from his thoughts than TO take an active
part IN New York politics at this time.
He has found that it will be impossible
for him to visit Rochester and Albany at
the time indicated and his latest advices
to Representative Perkins. Mayor Mo
Evan and Gov. Hughes are that he hopes
to be able to make the proposed trip the
latter part OF February.
In connection with the reports that
the President was to 60 to New York for
political purposes IL became known that
while he had previously heard a good
deal about the complication in the Re-
publican ranks in the State his talks with
the New York Republican political lead
ers who were in Washington this week
had no bearing on party conditions in the
state. When Timothy l.. Woodruff saw
the President on Wednesday he thanked
Mr.. TAFT for having followed the recon-
mendstion OF the four Republican Con-
gressmen from Brooklyn in appointing q
postmaster and an internal revenue col
lector in that borough. Incidentally. IL
was learned. he had mentioned Senator
Roots speech at the dinner given in Mr..
Roots honor the night before and had
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Root was
too pessimistic in regard to New York
political conditions as far a. they affected
the Republican party.

out the publicity clause. Representative
