Nicholas Murray Butler tries to convince President Roosevelt to come to New York to speak at the upcoming National Arbitration and Peace Conference, not only to support the issues at the conference, but also to help with the “general public situation,” likely referring to a series of recent conflicts, including the dispute between Roosevelt and railroad executive Edward Henry Harriman, and recent reports that Secretary of State Elihu Root is considering resigning on account of disagreements with Roosevelt.
