DENIES WILSON
NAMED CHOICE
Tumulty Confident Presi-
dent Kept Silence on
Candidates.

In formal statement issued at
the White House last night Joseph
P. Tumulty, secretary to President
Wilson, denied that the President
had expressed any preference
among the candidates being voted
on at the San Francisco convention.
When a report was brought to
Secretary Tumulty's attention of
rumors being circulated at San
Francisco that the President had
expressed an opinion with reference
to particular candidates he made
the following statement:
This is news to me. I have dis
cussed all phases of this conveh-
tion with the President and have
been in intimate touch with him
during its continuance, and am
positive that he has not expressed
an opinion to any one with refer
ence to a particular capdidate for
the Presidency. 1t has always been
his policy to refrain from taking
any stand that might be assumed to
be dictation."

In a recent address delivered at

regarding Syria and Mesopotamia,
declaring. "the allies have recog-
nized Syria's independence, but they

THE term mandate may mean any
