negie Hall on the subject Of peace and
mediation.

goodbye He was followed shortly
after by Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo,
who also desired to take their leave
Of the former Secretary President

minutes chatting together, and it was
stated that international affairs did
not come up for discussion.
Denies Reports Of Friction.
Following the Presidents call at Mr..
Bryan's home, the latter made a state
ment again denying reports which have
been circulated that he was ignored
by the President while he was Secre-
tary Of State. Coincident with Mr..
Bryan's denial of these reports. warm
friends of President Wilson have let it
be understood that the President enter
tains the highest feeling of personal
regard for Mr.. Bryan. and friends of
the latter are quoting him as having
expressed the deepest affection for the
President.
Mr. Bryan said:
while I was Secretary of State
could not, of course, make any reply
to stories of disagreement, because it
might have appeared like an attempt
to claim credit for work done in con-
nection with foreign affairs. Now that
I am no longer in the State Depart
ment, there Is no reaeon why I should
not deny these stories. Even now a
denial ought not to be necessary be-
cause, If tho stories be true, they would
be as much of a reflection upon the
President as upon me.
Glad to Make Refutation.
But am glad to make refutation
me the honor to confer with me about
everything done in connection with the
State Department. Not single state
ment has been issued by the President,
or prepared by him, about which have
not had the privilege Of comforting
with him beforehand, and the oppor-
prepared
II may add that We have never had
any material difference on any ques-
tion of policy until the submarine con-
troversy arose, and our notes-ny note
of resignation and, his note to me ac-
cepting it-have clearly and distinctly
set forth the only differences that ex-
listed on this matter
NO person will hereafter have any
excuse for repeating these stories"
