Mr.. Jolne said last night that he was
interested in the statement Of Colonel
Harvey, but did not care to comment
on It.
Democratic politicians in the city were
talking about the announcement and the
effect that 1t might have on the Wilson
candidacy, but they did not care to talk
for quotation. The general impression
seemed to be that IL might help the cause

League of this city. to-day directed a letter
to ex-President Roosevelt, asking him to
make public his views on certain issues of
the next rational compaign.
These issues likely TO dominate the cam
paign, Fackler wrote. are the tariff. the
trusts and the money question. His letter
read.
The insurgent movement in the Repub-
lican party was born as a protest against
the iniquities of the present tariff law

APPROVES COURTHOUSE SITE
Mayor Expects Estimate Board Will
Take Favorable Action.

Mayor Gaynor said yesterday he approved
the site selected for the new Court House,
and expected that IL would pass the Board
of Estimate tomorrow. The few objec-
lions that have been made 10 the proposed
site are considered trivial.
In regard to The proposition for a city
planning commission, Mayor Gaynor is not
dear that It would prove of practical bene-
ft to the city. He pointed out that the
proposition to return the site OF he Post
office to the city's park area really had
nothing to do with the construction OF a
new courthouse.
Borough President McAneny has pro-
cured copy of the deed by which the city
many years ago transferred the site OF the
Postoffice to the federal government. He
will examine II to-day to see whether II
would be necessary for the city to COM
pensate the government for the land or
whether " would automatically revert to
the city when 1t had ceased to be used for
