CHANDLER TALKS
WITH ROOSEVELT.
Kentucky Politics Touched
in Par|ey, but Result Is
Guarded.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler Of
Kentucky, who has indicated he may
try to wrest the Democratic senatorial
nomination from Majority Leader
Barkley, had conference with
President Roosevelt at the White
House today.
The conference was at the request
Of the Kentucky Governor. who, ac-
cording to the White House, tele-
graphed several days ago for the
appointment.
Gov. Chandler told newspaper men
as he was leaving the Presidents ONCE
that the Kentucky political situation
was touched upon during the talk, but
added: If have any announcement
to make I'll make it when I get home"
Silent on Candidacy.
Refusing to say whether he would
be candidate for the Senate, he i'm
piled that his talk with the President
had not changed his attitude in any
way. adding facetiously. Even you
members of the press don't know what
my attitude is"
Asked if he thought he could defeat
Senator Barkley he replied If you
see me in the race, you will know l
can beat Barkley."
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt would want to see MIR.
Barkley, who is an old personal friend,
as we'll as the party leader in the
Senate, reelected. 1t is felt in politi-
cal circles that Senator Barkley will
have more than merely the Presidents
blessing" when he begins his cam
paign for reelection. At q recent
banquet in Louisville, given in Mr..
Barkley's honor by his friends, the
President had Marvin H. Mcintyre,
one of his secretaries, read q personal
letter from him praising the Senator's
long record and telling what we in
Washington think of him."
Others See President.
Former Representative John Young
Brown of Kentucky and Thomas Rhea,
who was defeated by Mr.. Chandler for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor in 1895. also had conference
with the President. Both Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Rhea are political powers in
Kentucky. and both are understood to
be supporters Of Senator Barkley
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Re-
construction Finance Corp, was an
other with whom the President con-
ferred today. Mr.. Roosevelt before go
ing to his desk at the executive Office
held his customary Monday morning
conference with the so-called congress

President Garner. Senator Barkley,

Admiral Leahy added that it was
not surprising that Great Britain and
