country It is learned that Postmaster
General Hitchcocks recommendation
will not be sent TO Congress as an ad-

Mr.. Taft's refusal TO accent the

Although the relations of the presi-
dent and his postmaster general are
no longer so cordial and intimate as
they once were, Mr.. Taft at least for
political reasons, desires to preserve
harmony in his cabinet and avoid an
open break with his postmaster gem

desire, that the president may trans
