William W. Cocks informs William Loeb of the outcome of the Republican State Committee elections in New York. Cocks remarks that Timothy L. Woodruff “went altogether too far” in suggesting that President Roosevelt demanded Townsend Scudder’s nomination for the New York State Supreme Court. As the Scudder affair may “cost us some votes in Nassau County” and even impact the electability of Charles Evans Hughes for governor, Cocks thinks that Roosevelt should clarify his position on the matter to the Republicans of the state.
