Report Reaches Preildent That
Hitchcock'a Treatment Toward
Prominent Republican Leader Hai
Not Been Juat Right.
1 WASHINGTON, Oct. i. Chair
matt Ilitchock of the republican na
tional committee, it expected in
Washington tomorrow and a general
understanding it here, that while In
the city he will call on the president
for the urpote of changing views
with him regarding the conduct of
campaign on behalf of Secretary
Taft. !
It was reported here today that the
president had summoned . Hitchcock
. for the purpose of requesting from
him an explanation of the many criti
cism which have recently come to
the White House concerning the
management affairs both in New
York and Chicago but Secretary
Loeb tonight denied portions of the
report which arc attributed to Hitch
cock's coming to a special request
from the president.
There is however, excellent author
ity for the statement that a number
of complaints as to the management
of the campaign have reached the
executive mansion and the under
standing is that although he will not
request the presence of the chairman
of the national committee the presi
dent will welcome an opportunity to
talk with him and obtain from him
such explanation of these criticisms
as he may be able to make.
Censure seems to point to the fact
that there has not been the usual co
operation between the national com
mittee and congressional committee.
Complaints jt is understood have
come from the republican candidates
for congress. On the other hand it
has been explained to the president
that the national chairman has been
very1 busy arranging details of , the
campaign and has been inclined to
give the major portion of his time to
REPUBLICANS WILL
HOLD THEIR OWN
Judge Taft Pleased by Conditions and Says Party
Will Carry Usual Majorities
OMAHA, Oct. l.-"I am going to
bo.electcd." This statement was made
tonight by Judge Taft, sums up in a
word what the candidate thinks of
the effect of his speech-making tour
thus far. This belief is based, Taft
explained on the manner of his re
ception in the states thus far tra
versed, in which there were reported
to be defections among the republi
can ranks. As, to the national ticket,
Taft now believe there -is no reason
to doubt that the , republicans, party
will hold its own, and should this
' prove to, be the case, Taft says there
'ff'fwi;w
that subject, considering the con
gressional committee abundantly
able to look after the interests of
the congressional candidates without
his particular assistance.
Reports of discourteous treatment
at national headquarters 'toward
prominent republicans have also
reached the president, and while it
probably is not his purpose to inquire
into details of , office management of
committee affairs, he is so thoroughly
impreNed. with the imprtance of ab
solute party harmony that he feels
no matter too small for his attention.

Mrs. Gould's application for alimony

adjourned by Justice Diegerich in
the Supreme Court today.
The adjournment followed a spirit
ed discussion between counsel, in the
course of which Clarence J. Shearn,
attorney for Mrs., Gould, declared the
application for adjournment , was
merely jockeying for delay "to save
Mr. Gould a few paltry doltars and
to attempt to get on the records
wicked and scandalous statements
against Mrs. Gould 'in an attempt to
further blacken her character,"
Mrs. Gould's suit is for a separa
tion upon the ground of abandonment
and cruelty. She has received an al
lowance of $25,000 a year from her
husband since they separated. ; Dur
ing the course of his argument for an
adjournment, Delancey Nicoll said it
was set forth in Mr. Gould's answer
that he was justified in abandoning
his wife because of her frequent in
toixcation. Mr. Nicoll said that once

CASE DISCLOSES
SKELETOl
George Kirkpatrick, in this city, Mrs.
Gould attempted to assault several of
the women present, and bit Mrs.
Kirkpatck's arm. He said that on
another occasion, when Mr. and Mrs.
Gould were at a. theatre, Mrs. Gould
wrongfully accused her husband of
flirting with one of the actresses on
the stage, and of having winked at
the actress.
"We will prove," said Mr. Nicoll,
"that not alone was Mr. Gould not
intoxicated, as his wife asserts, not
alone that he did not wing at or at
tempt to flirt with an actress, but
that Mrs. Gould was so drunk that
she had to be led from the theatre."
Mr. Shearn,' replying, asserted that
all these charges were false and
were an outrage. He entered a vig
orous protect against any adjourn
ment. "This request of Mr. Nicoll is
merely jockeying for delay," said he,
"and I insist that this matter should
be-disposed of now."
After Mr. Nicoll had told the court
that three witnesses from whom he
desired to procure depositions had
refused to make affidavits and that
it would be necessary for him to ask
for a court order to compel them to
submit to an examination, the ad
journment was granted.

"Every disinterested voter knows

Fairview a statement criticising
Taft's' adopting President Roose

butions. Bryan expresses surprise
that Taft should have adopted Roose
velt's view and then goes on to ar
gue that publication of campaign ex
penses before election is necessary
to show whether corrupt methods
have been employed in the election;
and to show the main sources from
which the contributions come in
order that the public may know which
party predatory interests are support

Judge Taft's statement that candi

licity before the election, with being
completely under the control of those
who make the contributions.
Bryan declares this to be an insult
to the intelligence of voters and does
little credit to Taft's judgment of men
