Never Called Hughes
Gold Brick, Says T. R
fFrom q stan Correspondent Of The rrbune.l


Oyster Bay, n. Y, July l5.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt vigorously denied
tonight that he ever expressed the
opinion that Charles Evans Hughes
might turn out to be another gold
brick" as charged yesterday by Pro-
pressive Chairman J. A. II. Hopkins,
Of New Jersey.
Mr.. Hopkins asserted that in a con-
versation in the early part Of the year
Colonel Roosevelt refused to go on
record in favor of the nomination Of
Hughes, adding, according 10 Mr.. Hop
kins, that he had sold the party one
gold brick, and did not intend to run
the risk of doing it again" A little
later, according TO Mr.. Hopkins, the
Colonel remarked that Hughes might
eventually reveal himself as one. Hop
kins also stated that he had sent the
Colonel letter, under date of July ii,
recalling this alleged conversation and
requesting reply.
Colonel Roosevelt was highly incensed
tonight when he was shown the news
paper story containing Mr.. Hopkins's
statement, and, after reading the re-
port carefully, he nominated and
elected Chairman Hopkins to member
ship in the Ananas Club.
Il have never received any letter
from this man Hopkins" said Colonel
Roosevelt, angrily, but his state
ments, if they have been correctly
quoted. are false, absolutely false"
The Colonel declined to make further
comment, preferring to wait, he inti-
mated, until the Hopkins letter was
received. II the letter was mailed, as
Mr.. Hopkins said, on July II, it proba-
bly, has been delayed In the mails. 1t
is a safe bet, however, judging from
the Colonel's present temper, that the
reply will be sizzling.

POSITION OF UNITED STATES
IN WAR TORN WORLD.
Like "A Ship at Sea, With Typhoon
Signals From Many Directions"

>ashingt Jan. 27.-The position
of the United States in a war-torn
world was described to the house mill
tary committee today by Major General
Leonard Wood as like that Of "a ship
at sea. with typhoon signals coming
from many directions"
I'VE are living in an era Of war
he said, "and gradually are accumu
lating most of the troubles Of the
World"
General Wood, who appeared at the
committees hearings on the army in
crease bills, repeated in the main the
testimony he previously had given be-
fore the senate military committee. He
said 1t would take an army of a mil
lion and half to hold a line from
Boston south. Should conditions at the
close of the war in Europe invite at
tack, he declared, any Of the more
powerful of the be11igerents could land
10000 men on American soil in less
than thirty days.
A regular army of 22o, 900 men fully
trained and always under arms. with
at least 100000 reserves behind them.

this situation. The United States
navy he classed as fourth in fighting
efficiency and declared it could not
maintain control of the sea or de-
fend the coasts.
While General Wood and Colonel
Edwin F. Glenn, chief of staff of the
department OF the east, were TESTIFY
ing before the house and senate mil
itary committees respectively, Rear
Admiral r. S. Griffin, chief engineer of
the navy, told the house naval COM
n1ittee, considering navy increases, of
the mechanical ills to which subma-
rines are heir and of the problem of
finding suitable engines for battleships
ard destroyers.
Admiral Griffin said he believed no
foreign power was outstripping the
United States in naval design and that
type for American craft was as eff
cient as any af1oat To show the
condition of American submarines he
read report stating that each of them
had done from 1000 to 1000 miles of
surface cruising and several hundred
miles submerged last year. Their en-
gfnes were available for duty approx
in1ately 800 days out Of the year, he

instructions from Washington. Should

The prompt action taken by Car

s57,o00,00o was made in the total for
