Representative Fassett asks Secretary of War Taft how long he will be in Oyster Bay, and if they could meet in person soon. Recently Fassett heard a rumor about himself in Buffalo, that he was in support of Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Fassett only supported Hughes against Frank Wayland Higgins and Benjamin Barker Odell. Before appointments are made for collector of internal revenue or district federal marshal, Fassett would like a meeting with President Roosevelt. At present, Fassett has not yet spoken with Senator Frederick C. Stevens, though he has seen Senator William J. Tulley who is undecided.
