Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has received William Loeb’s letter regarding whether Cortelyou would consider being the delegate from the First Congressional District to the Republican National Convention. Cortelyou would prefer not to be considered for this position, and thinks that someone who will represent the constituents of the first district should be chosen. The treasury department has had to dismiss T. Aubrey Byrne, about whom District Attorney William J. Youngs spoke to Loeb.
