President Roosevelt describes the very bitter communication he has received both for and against the re-nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for Governor of New York to Herbert W. Collingwood. Apparently, many in the New York Republican Party machine feel Hughes has been rude to them, but Roosevelt has also had a letter from a state representative from Western New York, from a rural district made up mostly of farmers, that also says it would be too much of a risk to re-nominate Hughes, and Roosevelt finds this very puzzling. Roosevelt feels it is not advisable for him to become involved.
