might induce him to help out what
believed worthy cause Gov
ernor Wilson's managers were de-
lighted with the suggestion. Coi-

to do with 1t. and. as far as am
aware, knew nothing whatever about
it.n
The Watterson correspondence
with Senator TiIinan, 1t was learn
ed tonight, is intended to smoke out
two letters written by Governor
Wilson to Colonel Harvey after the
Manhattan meeting. II the Gov
ernor declines to Ee smoked out, the
plan is that Colonel Harvey. having
allowed the Governor O reasonable
time to make public the letters, will
himself make them public.
