President Roosevelt wants to know when Senator Knox hears from Francis J. Heney. Roosevelt understands that there is no agreement that he will not send in William C. Bristol’s name next time. He has concluded from his talk with Knox that Charles W. Fulton will have withdrawn any opposition to Bristol next fall, but for now the proposal is to not take action on the nomination until next fall when two republican senators are in.
