occasionally something crops up that
requires decision from me-"
Inc general reiterated his nreviouslv

a national primary day. open cxDcnse

General Wood asked his intcrviewcrs

Root Regards
Wood as Best
Man lin Race
Ex-senator Says General
Is Head and Should >rs''
Above Any Other Party
Aspirant for Nomination
Confers With Delegates
Public Declaration Not
Made Because of His
Friendship FOR Butler

Elihu Root, who sailed on Tuesday
for Europe to help establish an inter
national court of justice, told per
sonal friends before his departure that
in all round fitness for the Presi
dency, General Leonard Wood was
head and shoulders" above any other
aspirant for the Republican nomina-
ton.
1t is understood that he refrained
from making a public declaration in
favor of General Wood because of his
longtime friendship for Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia, who
is also candidate.
The preference for General Wood ex-
pressed by Mr.. Root is known to half
a dozen or more of the New York
delegates to the Chicago convention. 1t
is doubtful if they will make any use
of what they know of Mr. Roots prefer
cnce unless during the battle at Chi
cago the Butler boom is used against
General Wood in the interest of some
other cand idate
In case the Butler boom is disclosed
as political smoke screen to hide the
operations of the "old guard and bring
about the nomination either of Lowden,
Harding or Knox, prominent New York
delegates who are willing to do Aonor
to Dr. Butler in supporting him for
standard bearer will consider their OBJ
legation to Dr. Butler discharged, and
swing to Wood.
Delegates Confer With Root
Former Senator Root made known
his attitude toward the Butler can
didacy to many of his friends IN the
Union League Club. The salient fea-
ture of it was that it would not help
Dr. Butler if it were known that his
friends in the New York delegation
stood ready to desert him as soon as
it became apparent that he would fail
Of the nomination. The right thing to
do, he continued, was to be for him,
and not talk about being for Wood
or Lowden or Harding or Knox. II
case Butler showed weakness on the
second ballot
New York delegates who are going to
vote for General Wood on the first and
all ballots went to see Mr.. Root before
he left for Europe. He frankly said !
that he had the greatest admiration for
General Wood, and had had ever since
he recommended his appointment as
Governor General of Cuba, following
the SpanishAmerican War. Mr.. Root
at that time was Secretary of Var in
the Mckinley Cabinet
From that time forward, there never
has been break in the cordial rela-
tons between Mr.. Root and General T

career of the general with the keenest
interest

Plans made to star William J. Bryan

failed to materialize because those who
had agreed to finance the picture found
themselves unable to do so, according
TO a statement issued yesterday by j.
Stuart Blackton. The film was to have
been produced by Mr.. Blackton.
Mr.. Blackton said that in November
1913, G. R. Dalton, of St. Louis, came
to him With a proposition 10 star Nh
