Informs President He Prefers to
Remain and Practice Law
in New York.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-William
F. McCombs, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee, today told President
Wilson he did not care to go to Paris
as American ambassador at that post.
He informed the executive he preferred
to continue his law practice in New
York and conduct the affairs of the
national committee.
President Wilson asked him to -e-
consider and he agreed to take the
matter under Amusement The presi-
dent gave him until the opening Of the
special session to reach a decision.
President Wilson was closeted with
Mr.. McCombs for about one hour DIR
ing which various matters Of patron
age and policy We're discussed, particu-
larly the sensational situation in Hi
nois and New Hampshire. McCombs
will return to New York tonight and
probably go to New Hampshire in the
next few days to try to break the dead
lock there.
Mr. McCombs bears the unique dis
tinctioin of being the only man in
America who can not be induced to eat
at the political pie counter. 1t is an
open secret that he was offered a cab
met position. and refused Now he has
declined what is in many respects the
most desirable of the diplomatic posts.
His refusal of the post is due mainly
to the fact that he is not a rich man.
The governments niggardly policy in
its diplomatic service make, it neces-
sary for those who accept ambassador
ships to spend several times as much
as their salaries.
