MIssIvE IS UNSOLICITED

New York, Oct. ga telegram
from Frank Seiberlich, Boston, was
given out here today by the republi-
can national committee in support of
the denial ~ Charles F. Hughes last
night of the democratic national COM
mittee's Charge that the republican
presidential candidate entered into a
secret agreement with the American
Independent conference, of which
Seiberlich and Jeremiah A. O'Leary
are members. The telegram reads.
"The statement made by Mr..
Hughes relative to conference with
committee of the American lnde-
pendence conference is absolutely
true. Mr.. Hughes saw the commit
tee, of which was member, made
no promises, did not criticise Theo-
dore Roosevelt and made aNstatement
to the committee that he stood for
all AmericaRrights."
William R. Wilcox, republican ma
tional chairman, said in making the
telegram public, that it was voluntary
and unsolicited by the national COM
mittee.
The charge of the democratic ma
tional committee contained what pur-
ported to be al report made by Mr..
O'Leary at session of the confer
ence in Chicago of what occurred at
meeting between Mr.. Hughes and
the committee headed by O'Leary.
The latter was quoted in the report
as having said:
"Mr. Hughes promised that his fu-
ture conduct in the speech-making
line would be entirely satisfactory to
the interests OF the committee.
Mr.. Wilcox today characterized the
democratic committees report as a
fiasco of an attempt to prove an "hy-
phenate alliance on Mr.. Hughes
part.
There is not shred of evidence
that Mr.. Hughes had knowledge that
,O'Leary would make the statement
to the American independence con-
ference, -@of promises to frame his
speech to please the hyphenates," ass.
serted Mr.. Wilcox. =
Mr., Wilcox said he had no part
in arranging for the O'Leary COM
mittee to meet Mr. Hughes, but that
if it had been called to his attention
he would not object. The chairman
said he makes no effort to keep any
committee of legitimate citizens away
from Mr.. Hughes.
