PALMER REPUDIATES
CONVENTION BOOZE
Acknowledgement Says He Did
Not Order Release Of
Forty Barrels.
ASKS MAYOR TO EXPLAIN
Resents Reported Statement
That He Was Responsible for
Entertaining Delegates.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
Now York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Oct. l8.
The "dampness" OF the Democratic
National Convention has bobbed up to
plague Administration officials again.
To-day 1t caused Auorney-General
Palmer to issue formal statement de-
handing proof Of charges that he knew
about the withdrawal OF forty barrels
Of whiskey and gin and its use to enter
tain deserving Democrats" at San
Francisco.
The Attorney-Ge added that he
knew nothing about the withdrawal OF
the liquor. and he suspects. furthermore,
some person may have used his name to
get the liquor before the thirsty.
Just why the Attorney-General should
have waited until to-day to speak about
the whiskey and gin matter was not
explained at the Department of Justice.
The story first reached Washington a
week ago. and at that time Mr.. Palmer's
assistants said he would have nothing
to say about the matter.
According to the story reaching here
from the coast. a Grand Jury investiga-
ton has disclosed that 10 barrels were
withdrawn on order Of DR.. William G.
Hesler. City Health Officer. ostensibly
for the Municipal Hospital. but In re-
dHty lOT Ol ueItSdlcS.
After citing this report in a letter to
Acting Mayor McI.aren Of San Fran
cisco to-day, Palmer quotes the follow
ing from San Francisco dispatches:
acting Mayor McLaren declared that
Attorney General Palmer, who was
attending tho convention as a delegate.
knew all about the transaction
IF you have been correctly quoted,
Mr.. Palmer wrote to Mayor McLaren,
IT call on you either to produce proof
of your statement or publicly retract 1t.
know nothing about any liquor being
withdrawn in San Francisco for any
purpose. II my name was used by any
person Withdrawing liquor II was en-
tirely without my knowledge or author
ity. If you have any facts or informa-
ton upon which your statement was
based. you should furnish them to the
United States Attorney, whom I have
directed to make a full and complete
investigation of the matter"
One angle OF the case which was
noted here was that the liquor was
withdrawn for patients in n hospital.
1t remains to be explained just why the
condition of the patients should call for
as much as 40 barrels of whisky and
gin at that particular time.
