New York Collector of Customs Stranahan informs President Roosevelt that Appraiser of Customs George W. Whitehead will be visiting him about an issue of political contributions that has arisen in New York. Stranahan tries to explain the facts of the case, mentioning that a political contribution was solicited by Assistant Appraiser Harvey T. Andrews from an importer. While Stranahan believes this is not an actual violation of Civil Service law, he believes it is improper, and will speak with Andrews.
