Assistant Attorney General Cooley informs President Roosevelt of the developments surrounding Representative Parsons’ arrangement with William Randolph Hearst in New York County. Cooley thinks it would be prudent of Roosevelt to make some kind of statement after he returns to Washington. New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes has been non-committal to this point, although he may have had prior knowledge, according to Parsons.
