Representative Fassett will give an interview condemning any attempts to start a row between President Roosevelt and New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Fassett has spoken with the committeemen in his office and while Hughes would be their first choice for president should Roosevelt choose not to run for a second elected term, they think he lacks Roosevelt’s “graces of character” and do not consider him as trustworthy.
