Secretary of War Taft tells Harry S. New that, subject to approval of the Subcommittee on Arrangements and the National Committee, the Chairman of the National Committee names the temporary chairman. Taft also sends the enclosed note to Senator Nathan Bay Scott, so there is no misunderstanding of his attitude on the matter, who discussed the matter of the Temporary Chairman of the Republican Convention. Taft believes Scott is out of town and will send a copy of the note to New.
