Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to William Loeb

New York State Republican State Committee Chairman Woodruff analyzes the primary results concerning Robert A. Sharkey of the Fifth District and George H. Roberts of the Eleventh District, which he says involved fraud. After summarizing the feelings of the state committeemen on Governor Charles Evans Hughes as the potential presidential candidate, he concludes that a resolution is unlikely to be introduced. Winning support against Hughes would be easier if President Roosevelt were the candidate, but even with the current situation in Kings County, Woodruff feels there will ultimately be cooperation until the convention. Woodruff asks that the letter be given to Roosevelt to help explain the situation.
