President Roosevelt would like to see any agreement between Senator Platt and Governor Benjamin B. Odell regarding appointments. Roosevelt believes that Worden should be given a position and the only likely vacancy is Shipping Commissioner. It would also be fortunate if Harry A. Hanbury could accept a position of equal salary in Brooklyn.
