From the Atlanfa Cnnstitntinn

lFrom the Atlanta Constitution
An open rupture between Mr..
Hitchcock and Henry Lincoln John
son, the former Atlanta Negro who
was made recorder of deeds for the

teresting developments. Johnson was

.cording to the story current here in

Republican committee did not declare
their preference for any candidate for
the Republican nomination

ingtOn after the committee had met
and instructed for TAFT he found sev-
eral messages and telephone calls
summoning him to the office of the
postmaster general Going over to
the department, he found the door
of the postmaster generals private
Office barred to him.
Thomas l. Weed. the chief Clerk
Iof Mr. Hitchcock, delivered this mes
sage;
Mr.. Hitchcock requests that you
return to him the autographed photo
graph which he recently sent you with
his compliments"
There was no opportunity for a pri-
vate interview, for explanations, nor
excuses. Since 'that day Johnson
has been excluded from the conf
dence and friendship of Mr. Hitch
cock
Fearing for his political safety,
Johnson Immediately goes to the
