Declare EX-PreSident Is
Behind Hitchcock to
Check Roosevelt.
WHITMAN DENIES
PRESIDENTIAL DEAL
Knows Nothing of Ex-POstmas-
ter Generals Movement.
He Says.
From s,sr Correspondent, of To. rribun.

From s'sr Correspondent oi The rhbun.l
Albany, Feb. 10. Following the de-
NAL Of Governor Whitman that he
was connected with the activities Of
Frank II. Hitchcock. ex-Postmaster
General. Republican leaders declared
here to-day that ex-Pres lent Taft was
the prime mover in Mr. Ilitchcock's eff
forts in behalf Of Justice Hughes. Mr..
Taft, it was explained was anxious 10
keep Colonel Roosevelt from capturing
substantial number of delegates TO
the Republican National Convention,
and had seat his former Cabinet officer
on tour of the country with the OBJ
ject Of forestalling Roosevelt senti-
ment by bringing Justice Hughes to the
front.
In some quarters Mr.. Hitchcock
campaign was interpreted as a cloak
to hide the Presidential aspirations of
Governor Whitman. II was recalled
that when Mr.. Hitchcock was chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mitteo Colonel William Hayward. whom
Governor Whitman appointed to the
Public Service Commission. vas secrc-
tary of the committee. Hence the in
ference that Mr.. Hitchcock and the
Governor were in league.
In denying any connection with the
Hitchcock movement Governor Whit
man said to-day:
Il am personally acquainted with
Mr.. Hitchcock, and. OF course, have a
high regard for him. as nave all his
friends. know nothing whatever
about MS political activities. and am
IN no way connected with any mov"-
ment looking toward the nomination
for the Presidency of any of the per
sons whose names have been mentioned
"a that connection.
Il have stated repeatedly that be-
Meye Justice Hughes would be by far
the strongest candidate. and that he is,
in my opinion. the choice OF the vast
majority OF the Republican voters Of
the country. still believe that this is
true"

he was through with all participation

"Some Of your friends Mr.. Taft
was told, "in press dispatches lew
DAYS ago said that you ought 20 be sent
20 Chicago as a delegate 70 the Repub-

type YOU would like 10 see become the
party's standard bearer"
What have they against me- the
ex-President replied, laughinely, "that
they should wish me trouble? Then,
in a more serious tone, he said: The
people are not heading for any one
man. 40 one man is indispensable 20
the country at the present time
The ex-Presldent made no comment
which would authorize the statement
that he had Colonel Roosevelt II mind
when he said this, but the manner IN
which he made il gave the impression
that he felt that there was no proba-
bilitv that he would be needed 20 work
actively at the convention for the nom
