ST AUGUSTINE. Fla. January IA
Charles II. Hyde chamberlain of New
York city, who has been missing from the
city for nearly fifty days, this evening
boarded a train in this city for New York,
he having decided to return and straight
en- out matters there. Just as he was
leaving he made the first statement since
his disappearance.
Il have not been we'll for some time"
complete rest. There was not the slight
est indication OF bank troubles when |
left New York, and / had not heard OF
recent occurrences until Dan Smith, my
Eecretary's brother, overlook me on my
houseboat en- route to Palm Beach. AS
soon as I learned of the failures I left
the boat. and am now fastening home. II
now, as 1 understand that charges have
been preferred against me, and l must
deal with them officially"
Asked about the race track story, which
is not connected with his official position,
Mr.. Hyde said:
"Oh, that was so utterly false and un-
founded that ! never bothered about it.
u did not even know the people with
whom I was supposed to have dined. !
did not subscribe to any such fund for my
client or any one else. and every news
paper man at Albany knew the rest Of it
was untrue. l am quite sure that Sen
ator Gardner never told such a false
hood"

BOSTON, January 14.-Former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt took a leap into
the Massachusetts senatorial contest to-
night. when. in a telegram addressed TO
Joseph Walker. speaker of the Massa-
chusetts house of representatives. he Wig
orously championed the cause of Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge and charged
Representative Butler Anes with delib-
erately misrepresenting facts.
The telegram, which was sent from
oyster Bay. was called forth by the pub
lication today of an alleged statement
by Representative Ames. who is active
in opposition TO the candidacy of Senator
Lodge for reelection.
Text of Telegram.
1t reads as follows:
"Oyster Bay. L. T.. n. Y,
January a. 1911.
"Hon. Joseph Walker. Brookline, Mass:
STORY told by Butler Anes as reported
in the newspapers as to the alleged con-
versati0u between me. Lodge and New
berry about purchase Of Golfers is q de-
tberate and outrageous .falsehood. l

such conversation ever took place. Dur
ing the twenty-siX years 1 have known
Senator Lodge he has acted on all occa-
sions-and especially on every occasion
when he has dealt with public matters or
matters having any connection with the
governments behalf-not only with abso-
lutte honesty, but the highest and most
delicate sense of prOpriety. l never had
any talk with him about those golfers at
all. 1t is shocking to think that Mr.
Amss should invent such an outrageous
falsehood about a public man of such
rigid integrity and probity, a fabsehood
for which there is not even the smallest
foundation in fact

Representative Anes was quoted as say
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt. when President,

tempt TO force the purchase of two COL
liers by the Navy Department at cost

According to the published statement
credited to Representative Ames, Presi-
dent Roosevelt after listening to Assistant
Secretary Newberrys explanation, turn
ed to Senator Lodge and said:
Cabot l told YOU not to monkey with
these things. Secretary Newberry is ab-
soluteIy right
Mr. Ames said his information as to the
conversation came from Mr.. Newberry.

mcnt tonight. Representative Ames said

knowingly overstatcd or misstated the

ment of the facts in connection with

correctly quoted in the morning papers. :
Tile latest statement to which Mr.
Ames refers denies that he ever men
toned the particular words calling
down or called down in reference
to Mr.. RooSevelt's conversation with
Senator Lodge Otherwise the statement
does not differ essentially from his
previous one.

NEW YORK, January 14-Ezra P.
Prentice. forced into the chairmanship ol
the republican state committee at the be.
hest Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, sent ou,
letter tonight to the members Of the
organization resigning that post. In the
same mail he dispatched formal call to
the members to assemble here at repub-
lican state headquarters next Saturday
to take formal action upon his resigna
ton.
Whether Col. Roosevelt was consulted
by Prentice before making public his
resignation could not be ascertained to.
night 1t was the ex-President who chose
the young lawyer to head the organfza
tion.
Action by Boss Barnes.
None of the old guard objected to the
selection, though Boss Barnes Of Albany
rendered his resignation from the COM
mittee in curt note denoting his disgust
with the. entire order OF things under the
Roosevelt regime.
Who will succeed Prentice is now a
matter OF sheer conjecture. The names
mentioned tonight are Representatives J
Siodte TdSsett, NTeStdHu anu JO,iil W
Dwight. all western New York members
of Congress, and Representative Calder OF
Brooklyn. Any of these would, ii Is gen
orally believed. be acceptable to Col
Roosevelt. whose wishes undoubtedly
will be asked.
President May Be Consulted.
AS the chairman of the committee may
be able largely to influence the COM
plexion of the delegation to the next re-
publican national convention. 1t is as
sumed that President Taft may desire to
be consulted as to Prentice's successor.
