President Denies Charges.

LONG BRANCH, Oct. 31.-In re- ply to a telegraphic query President Wilson this morning wired Waltei Lippman, editor of The New Repub- lie, declaring the charges of Senator Lodge regarding the Lusitania note to be untrue. He declares that no postscript was ever written or con- templated exchanges personally in- serted strengthening and emphasizing the protest against the German action. When the note was ready for trans mission to the German government it was suggested that an intimation be incorporated in the note that the Uni ted States would accept arbitration of the affair. One member of the cabi- net spoke to me about such a propo- sition, but it was never discussed in the cabinet and there were no threats to resign because of it, for the very good reason that rejected the propo- sition as inconsistent with the pur- poses of the note. The public is fully possessed of the facts regarding the several Lusitania notes. and there were no changes or alterations in the notes sent to Germany that did not appear in the copies made public at the time.
 After wiring to the editor, further telegrams revealed the fact that Wal ter Lippman was not the party mak- ing the inquiry, but Jason Lippman. The telegram was merely signed Lippman, and the President supposed 1t came from the editor.
