TAFT REFUTES HINES.
President Explains ills Refusal to En-
dorse Lorimer.

Washington, July 1.-Regarding the
testimony of Edward Hines In the
Lorimer inquiry that Senator Aldrich
told him to notify Springfield the pres1-
dent was anxious that Lorimer should
be elected to the senate, the following
statement was authorized by the White
House:
1.-THE fact with reference to the presi-
dents relation to Senator Lorimer's
election is this:
'That during the tariff fight gentle
men came to President Taft and ex-
pressed their interest in passing the
tariff bill and said that it had been
suggested from Illinois that it would
be wise for the president to express an
opinion in favor Of the election OF MI.
Lorimer.
"He did not know Mr.. Lorimer we'll,
altho he knew that he was an fnfluent-
ial member Of congress. but he did
know Senator Hopkins. He knew very
little about Illinois politics, but ex-
pressed a desire there should be two
republican senators from Illinois. When
asked to put that in the form Of
telegram urging the election Of Mr..
Lorimer, he declined to do So
"The statement by Mr.. Hines that
the president was anxious for and was
urging the election Of Mr.. Lorimer Is
wholly unfounded."
The president is therefore standing
upon this official statement, which
originally was made when Mr.. Hines
testified before the Helm committee,
and will not add anything to it or take
away anything from it.
Attention was called at the White
House also to an extract from a letter
written by President Taft shortly after
Lorimer's election in which the execu-
tive said:
'SThe reports, rumors, or statements
that I consciously lent any weight Of
the administration to the election OF
Lorimer are wholly untrue"
