Mr.. Tumulty. it was told that the
president was a very busy man.
Judge Goff said that of course he
knew this, but this was a tremen-
dOus issue for those interested. Mr..
Tumulty said ne was as much in
terested in the issue as anybody.
But that did not get the committee
anywhere. He said he had been
pressing the matter to the presi

from him any moment. Judge Goh
said that we could wait no longer,
but that as a matter of courtesy the
committee would return at o'clock

fact communicated to the commit

it would be informed that the presi-

New York after his speech at the
Metropolitan theater. The commit

this fact.

him the gravity of failing to treat
the committee with proper respect.
