President Roosevelt informs William Barnes that he will support the decision of the New York Republican State Committee. He has given its members, including Barnes, his best judgment, which he bases on canvasses conducted across the state. He feels that Governor Charles Evans Hughes should be renominated, as it will hurt more not to do so.
