SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 26.--Old
ghosts rose to haunt Roosevelt. Dead
mems ashes were raked for evidence
impungning his past course. From
Platt's executors, scores of letters
were produced, disclosing the details

private breakfasts in New York. In
one letter Roosevelt asked that an
architect friend be allowed to bid on
a government contract.
Although the evidence against
Roosevelt is the most unfavorabIe,
he seems little disturbed.

could not get out of it and would sp-
point Platt's man.
