Address owner, Plattsmouth, Nebr. ; J2i-4tw Walker Charges Politics Behind Attacks on Him Calls Upon Governor Roosevelt for Full Exoneration in Sea bury Probe. Albany, N. Y., July 28. Protest ing in fiery language that he had been made a "political football" and a "target of hostility and misrep resentation," Mayor Walker tonight demanded; of Governor Roosevelt complete exoneration of charges on which his removal is sought. This was his reply to the case brought against him by Samuel Sea bury, counsel of the republican con trolled state legislative committee appointed to investigate sensational allegations of corruption in Now York City. The mayor's answer and the gov ernor's action hold national signi ficance because, although Roosevelt has declared he would be influenced by no political consideration, the case has been injected into the presi dential campaign. "It is sound American doctrine," the mayor asserted, "that the will of the people as expressed by their votes is not to be brushed aside to satisfy prejudice, a craving for publicity or personal dislike of political eom-l-li'.inants." Sweeping Denials. The 27 thousand word document was packed with caustic adjectives, ringing denunciations "and sweeping denials of all the accusations made against him. Repeatedly he sandwiched in be tween bits of legal defense open at tacks on Seabury. Walker, a Tam many sachem, charged the entire city inquiry was motivated by the republican party. "Mr. Seabury merely sought gos sip and scandal he thought might reflet upon James J. Walker person ally," the mayor wrote. The whole purpose of the investi gation, which Walker pointed out ha:? cost the state 750 thousand dol lars, was condemned. Walker said his appearance as a witness had been "staged as a cli max just before the two national con ventions." He also intimated Seabury's 15 "conclusions" had been timed eo as to embarrass Governor Roosevelt Just before his politi cal future was to be determined by the democratic national con vention. In denying Seabury's "conclu sion" that he had been untruthful and evasive on the witness stand. the mayor said: "This conclusion is so devoid of fair play and even decency that find it difficult to exercise proper restraint in referring to it." "Reflection on Block." Seabury charged the mayor's ac ceptance of approximately 225 thou sand dollars from a brokerage ac count with Paul Block, newspaper publisher, without investment, was Improper because Block subsequent ly became interested in a corp'or- ation which "sought, and procured approval from the board of trans portation of a tile which said com pany intended to manufacture for use in the subway." "Mr. Block, who has been my in timate friend for many years, 13 a man of great wealth, owning and controlling valuable newspaper prop ertles and other enterprises In var ious parts of the United States. "He has no need of anything which I as mayor of the city of New York could give him. He would not ask any favor or consideration to which the slightest impropriety or criticism could possibly be attached, and did not." Walker denied that he concealed his interest in financial transactions of close to a million dollars by hav ing Russell T. Sherwood, missing ac countant, handle them for him. He stated that Sherwood was never his personal financial agent. Denies Wrongful Acts. He denied any witness had testi fied he had sought or received any consideration for any official act, or had committed any wrongful or Il legal act, or had In any way been guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance "affecting injuriously the city of New York or Its inhabi tants." He said Seabury had been unable during a year's Investigation 1 "to find or to charge that I had caused the wrongful expenditure or loss of a single dollar to the people of New York out of upwards of Ave bil lion dollars expended during my ad ministration as mayor." , Seabury's charge that Walker vio lated the city ctxrttr fey hisldiss 10 bonds la a corrrxxr wtich wu ! awarded a 43 thousand dollar city contract brought from Walker the reply: "The charge that I violated the charter, either in fact or law, is un tiue."
