President 1 aft Talks Politics New York Situation is Discussed and Said to Look Excellent for the Republicans. NEW TORK, Oct. 19. Political confer ences occupied most of President Taft's time in New York today. No word had come from Oyster Bay up to noon and it became evident there would be no meet ing between the president and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The necessity for two days ot complete rest Is said to have made It impossible for the colonel to leave Oyster Bay. Lloyd C. Grlscom of the New Tork county republican committee visited Pres ident Taft today and talked over the New York state situation. Mr. Urlscom was op timistic over the outlook. He denied that efforts were being made to have the pres ident write a letter In behalf of Henry Stlmson, the republican candidate for governor, or to have the former make a speech In New York In the campaign. The president feels, It la aald, he has gone as far as he can. Mr. Griscom said if the president were to consent to speak in New York, nearly every other state would demand a visit from him and this would be impossible.

Oct. ln.-Walter W'ellman and the member of his Ill-fated transat lantic expedition In the d.rigible America, who were rescued from Impending death at sea. 0 miles east ot Cape Hatteras yesterday, believe that a voyage In an air ship across the Atlantic may yet be ac complished. The W'ellman party are aboard the steamship Ttent, whose timely arrival proved the salvation of the adven turers. While the object of W'ellman's venture some trip was not accomplished, he suc ceeded In creating a new world's record for dirigibles, being seventy-two hours in the air, and covering, according to Well- man, 1,000 mllea over rough seas. fihnniv after ft o'clock the Trent came to anchor below Sandy Hook because of the heavy fog..

The Trent bore down, full speed, upon the small boat. "Irwin declares for the moment it looked as If It would cut It In half.

In mi.-wer to Hartley, Chairman Byrnes Ismies a statement that takes the position that Hartley wants to enter a Joint debute villi Hitchcock: that Hitchcock's reply was mado lo the public, and that Hartley should make his statement to the public.

Mr. Hitchcock himself, a few years ago, assisted In forcing the withdrawal of a candidate from the republican ticket be cause he had shmed In the tr ceils of the Uartiey treasury shortage. At that time It laid down as a precept that no man who had shared In that shoitage should ever te ilei ted to office in this state. Now that Mr. Hitchcock Is similarly accused ho die not propose to brook an Inquiry; he merely pits his unsupported woid against the dncw ! mcnlary evidence presented In support fif the cha"pe. and by c ylng "mud'1 add 'blackmail." hopes to divert altnntlon from himself.

Why did the editor of the leading demo cratic paper of the state go to the repub lican stato treasurer to borrow money? That Is the question the democrats will have to answer. Chairman Byrnes' statement. The reply of Chairman Byrnes to Bart- ley's request for an investigation of the charges made by Kclgar Howard was given out at Columbus last evening. It ts couclfed In evasive and shifty terms, and reads: "The democratic state committee Is in receipt of your request for permission to appear before It with Gilbert M.

What Mr. Hitchcock has said con cerning you and in reply to the overtures and demands of yourself and Kdgar How ' ard he said publicly to all the people of Nebraska. Your defense, If you have any to make, should be pleaded before them and not before thia committee. "The people will hand down the final decision as between yourself and your em ployes and tools on the one hand and Mr. Hitchcock on the other. So far as this committee la concerned It Is for Mr. Hitch cock and against you.

You are now eager to disarrange his speaking schedule, which has been already arranged for every day that remains of thia cam paign. We must refuse to assist you In your design. Address yourself, as did Mr. Hitchcock, to the people of Nebraska, Mr. Hitchcock invited your principal senator. Burkett, to a series of public debate. Those debates would have dealt with every issue between the two. including this at tack that you are making. Senator Hurkelt with rare discretion fled from that chal lenge. We cannot permit J ou now to ap pear as his substitute, especially since you present no credentials. "J. C. BYRNErf, "Chairman Democratic State Central Committee." The barney Interview In The Bee yes terday was the occasion of much cuinineitt among all clasres. One of tha points that could not be cleared up by the apologists for Hitchcock was, "Why was the editor of a democratic paper negotiating for loans with a republican state tieasurer?" one man answers this question thus: "We all know that Hitchcock waa hav ing pretty hard work to keep going at the time he w ent to Hartley for help; so a ere other business men in Omsha and else where, everybody was having a hard time to get along In Hie good old demo cratic daya to which the party is now so anxious to return. But ever) body did not go to Hartley fcr help, nor could every body have gotten help It thty did ga lo him. But Hitchcock went to him for lie'.p and got It. Why? "Do you suppose that a small retailar could have gone to Hartley with a bard luck atory and borrowed money on bis note, unsecured, or secured by a second mortgage? Well. 1 guess not But wha the editor ot a big democratic paper came along to beg a loan, the case was far dif ferent.
