Senator Lodge explains a situation reconciling differences of account between “Harry” and Attorney General William H. Moody regarding the Second Battleship Squadron. Moving on to a matter with Augustus Peabody Gardner, which Lodge finds distressing, Lodge explains that he stands by the recommendation of Moody. He believes Roosevelt will carry New York in the upcoming election. Everyone is stressed due to it being the final hours of the campaign.
