these Deputies, far from receiving the

The Center composed mainly of the

Fascist through funk), but many
others had been genuinely won over

L. C. Stokes, Jersey Chairman,
Refuses to Make Con-
tents Public.
WHITE HOUSE Is SILENT
Mrs. Robinson Says She Got
Her liberalization Note
Before Election.

f. c. Stokes, chairman OF the New
Jersey State Republican Committee,
has received a letter from President
Harding In reply to one sent by Mr..
Stokes. in which the New Jersey chair
man suggested that liberalization" OF
the Volstead act might be an advisable
policy for the Republican party in
view of the election results this year.
Mr.. Stokes said last night that he
did not intend to make the letter pub
lie, nor would he say whether 1t was
In the same tenor as one received
recently by Mrs. Corinne Douglas
Robinson, sister of the late Col. Roose-
welt, in which the President is said to
have stated that a change In senti-
ment had taken place regarding the
strict enforcement of the prohibition
laws.
The New Jersey Chairman would give
no indication OF the contents of the
Presidents letter. 1t was reported
however. that Mr.. Harding made viz
tually the same statements that he
made In his letter to Mrs. Robinson.
In an address at Binghamton last
nigh. Mrs. Robi,ison said that She
thought no reporters were present when
she read the Presidents letter before
the meeting of the Republican Neigh
was written to her by the President
ten days before the election. in answer
to letter she had written. IT was n
mistake. she said. to believe that IN
this letter the President predicted the
! liberalization OF the volstead Act.
The President" she said. made no
prediction whatever connected with the
liberalization OF the enforcement act"
When Mrs. Robinson was asked In
Blnghamton II she would give the letter
to the newspaper for publication she
said that that was up to the President.
Before she left New York Mrs. Robin
son issued fiat denial that the trend
OF the Presidents letter was toward
liberalization.
William II. Anderson. State superin-
tendent OF the Anti-Saloon League. said
last night that he had written to the
President in relation to the letter re-
ceived by Mrs. Robinson, but that he
would not make his communication pub
lie until the President had received II
Dispatches from Washington last
night said that politicians there are
tremendously Interested in the fact that
the President has written two letters
dealing with the prohibition laws within
the last two or three weeks. No one,
however, seems to have been able TO
learn in Washington what the Presi-
dent said either to Mrs. Robinson or
TO Mr.. Stokes. all efforts to get copies
of the letters from the White House
having failed. 1t was said there that
the letters would not be made public
and that there would be no comment.
