to make upon the conference, 1t was
said in his behalf that he has every
reason to feel that the heart-to-heart
talk on the banks of the Rapidan cam
not help but prove beneficial and fruit

as to what is in the mind of each re-

at the White House today that he had
not reached definite decision yet re-
