His Address.

His Address.
Keeping the Governors confer
ence business program free from
controversial topics may be a diff
flcult task, it appeared today.
Governor Clifford Pinchot, Penn
sylvania flre-brand, wired Governor
Harry G. Leslie today that he has
a speech on utilities which he sub
mitted to former Governor Cary A.
Hardee Of Florida. secretary of the
conference, and released to the press
to hold for delivery"
Pinchot is scheduled for a talk on
reforestation, according to the Of
fetal program printed and delivered
to the statehouse today.
Members of the executive COM
mittee, Of which Governor Norman
S. Case of Rhode Island is chair
man, purposely had omitted such
subjects as utility control and IN
employment problems.
Teddy May Attend
Another development of the day
was the possibility that Republic
ans may have a Roosevelt at the
conference, as well as the Demo-
Gratis.
For Theodore Roosevelt, Cover
nor Of Porto Rico, is in Washington
and his invitation to the conference
was renewed by wire today from
the office of Governor Harry CT,
Leslie.
Previously he had announced from
Porto Rico that he would be unable
to attend, but it is thought that
his being in washington may cause
a change in his plans.
If he accepts he will be the only
Governor from United States pos
sessions to attend, although Cover
norS of Alaska and the Philippine
islands were invited.
