letter given out today by Lloyd C.

Republican county committee how
the misunderstanding arose. He ex-
plained that he never took any part
in a committee cabal To defeat Col
onel Roosevelt for temporary chair
man of the coming state convention
On the contrary he explicitly deplores
the result OF the committee meeting
which chose Vice President Sherman;
he rebukes the party leaders who
have permitted 1t 10 go abroad un-
contradicted that the president of the
United States was behind their fac
tional preference he Insists that at

fullest conference with Roosevelt and
he explains he has been panied by

In respect to the New York situa'

President Sherman OF the plan TO op-
pose Roosevelt, he "peremptorily de-
clined" to be drawn Into fight with
Mr. Roosevelt and again renewed his
urgent advice that there be full per-
sonal conference with him. Finally
he asserted that the solution OF the
direct primary issue can be found In
provisions similar to those OF the
Cobb bill defeated by the last legis-
lature In dire rebuke to Roosevelt
and Governor Hughes.
