niyed secretly in every possible way 10
keep the party machinery in the hands
of himself, Hemenway, Barnes. Crocker,
sam Perkins and Martin"
When Mr. Wilcox was shown this
statement he refused to comment.
A statement declaring the charges OF
Mr.. Perkins were unfounded was issued
tonight by James A. Hemenway. F. W..
Estabrook and Former Governor Gillett.
They declared it was endorsed by Johu
r Adams Cornelius n. Bliss, Jr., and
other members of the committee. The
statement follows in part:
..Tbere is no Justification FOR the In
,arnretation which Mr.. Perkins places
unon Yesterdays action of the executive
committee. He challenges the selection
of John T. Adams as vice chairman Of
ne committee. In the selection of Mr..
Adams there was no slight intended to
the Progressives, nor was there any
given. His choice was based on the fact
MAT the November election showed that
there is need of organization work in the
West and that his knowledge of condl-
tions there and his political experience
that make him we'll fitted for this work.
AT yesterdays meeting of the Ii mem
hers of the committee only four express,
cd themselves as in opposition to an
election at this time, Upon the question
of Mr. Adams election he was chosen
bv practically an unanimous vote. 1t is
difficult to understand how anyone who
is unselfshly Interested in the success
Of the Republican party could challenge
