Declares Statement a Lie.
The denial follows:
I'm the last few days the follow
ing quotation has appeared in the
press under a Washington date line
as part Of the report of the dinner
given by the president at the White
House Wednesday evening, February
26, to the m EN- bers of the committee
on foreign relations of the senate and
the committee on foreign affairs Of
the house:
The president told the commit
tees that the Irish question was a
matter between Ireland and England
and that Ireland would not have any
voice in the peace conference at pres
ent'
The president wishes me to say
that this statement has no foundation
in fact and is deliberate falsehood.'
Claim Similar Statement.
Several members of the committees
said after the conference that Presi-
dent Wilson, when pressed about the
Irish question, had made a stateme ent
to the same general effect as the one
now denied. The subject came up on
the floor of the senate today, when
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, was attacking a report Of
the conference published in the New
York Sun.
In denying the Suns report, Mr.
Hitchcock said the president was
questioned about Ireland, but that the
question was not a serious one and
was not answered.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
who also attended the dinner, inter
rupted to correct the Nebraska sena-
tor, however, saying the president
had said the League of Nations had
nothing to do with the Irish or i'm
migration questions.

that Of selling real estate, contains no
