HITCHCOCK
ON THE GRILL
ROOSEVELT DISPLEASED WITH
CONDUCT OF CAMPAIGN.
ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS
President is Informed That Affairs
Are in Bad Shape at National
Headquarters to Which Hitch-
Cock Makes Denial.
Vt'ushltigtoti Oct. 1. Thuro are in-
dications that the republican im-
ilonal commltiio I about to change
clialrmon. President Roosovolt to-
diiy sent peremptory summons to
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock to
come to Washington at once. Tnu
summons was bunt after tho piosl-
dent had hail a lung talk with Sun
ntor Scott of West Virginia who
lit Jut hack lioin New York.
Tho piosldeijt. hail huun hearing
for some time that things wero In
learful shape at national headquar-
ters. Ho did not pay much muni-
tion to thotso reports at first think-
lug they were duo to jealousy or
to opixwlllon of ineu who prlinatil
wanted somebody ols appointed
when .Mr. Hitchcock was selected.
Hut thoko complaints became so nu-
merous and wcio ho persistent that
tho president sunt Senator Scott to
New York to inaliu an Investiga-
tion. Senator Scott reported all ho wait
able to learn after careful Investiga-
tion. It seeing to have betin enough
to confirm the president's worst
fears; certainly It was enough to
nmku him call .Mr. Hitchcock to tho
white house to glvo an account of
himself.
It Is understood that Suiintor
Scott was very novel u In his stric-
tures upon tho management of tho
national campaign; that ho com
plained of an unnecessary amount I
of red tape at the henduuarlors:
of a laiKo number of well-paid oui-
plnyus who appeared to bo doing !
nothing and were absolutely with- 1
out experience In tho work they
vote supposed lo do. It Is under-
stood that .Mr. Scott nlso dwelt !
upon Chairman Hitchcock's oxelit-
slvenoss It being next to Impossi-
ble for cnllers to see tho national
chairman unless apiKilnttnoiil Is
made long In advance
trvlil.oj vtT ...ernmcntp mm
In thlB connection Is nil Interest-
Ijiu trto'ry and It Is understood that
tills story was told to the president
by Senator Scott. A few weeks ago
a prosperous looking caller prexent-
eii himself nt headquarters and ask-
ed to sco .Mr. Hitchcock. A clerk
told hint that .Mr. Hitchcock could
not be seen then and asked the vis
itor to wait. After two hours of
waiting the visitor became Impa
ct lent. Tho clerk disappeared and in
hU moment retiirni'd saying that .Mr.
f'llltchcock could not ho kocii Just
"Mien as he was on tho point of
'Starting for Chicago. Tho visitor
wVas asked If ho could not come
n"bnck in two or three days. Tho call-
J cd drew from his pockot a died-
for $!000 which ho proceeded to
tear Into small hits and left fio
olllce.
Thero are numoroiis Incidents of
this character which Illustrates tho
peculiar campaign .Mr. Hitchcock l
conducting. It Is alleged that ho
has Ignored entirely the congres-
sional commission which has horn
1'ft to get along as best It cnn.
Mr. Hitchcock hns to explain to
tho prtsldcnt. Tho president Is vli-
tually in chargo of the campaign
and has bi'on for nioro than a wee -now.
If he should decide that It

would be wise to get a new chair j
man there Is little doubt that t -Hutu
nut committee would acuities"'..
To change chairmen Ml this stage
of the campaign would not itil
prove .Indgo Taft's fldht Is far from
won. but would put the new chair-
man and the 'any In a most em-
iiarrasHliiK position as It Is adniti-
le( that there l practically no or-
ganisation upon which .Mr. Ill ii-
cock's successor could build.
The culling of Chairman Hlte'i-
cock to the white house Is miiIvi-i
sail) regarded as the most stgnlll-(-.int
development thus far xnlng I
show what the president mid other
hading republicans really think
about Ihe campaign the general
conditions Hint prospects.
Friends of Chairman Hitchcock
are rreely predicting IoiiIkIiI that
lie will resign as a result of tho
Humiliating nttlitide In which he in
il. iced by this latest move of the
president. This Is hardly likely.
Hitchcock Makes Denial.
New York Oct. I. Chairman
Hitchcock said late today In a reply
to a direct question as to tho re-
port from Washington that there
was friction between tho national
committee and tho congressional
ciiniinUlee:
"Thorel a nothng lo that ruiort to
tii) knowledge. The committees are
working In harmony."
Mr. Hitchcock will so to Chlcao
.Monday. He said thero had been
repented request n the last two
or three days from tho political
managers In Ohio to have Cover-
nor Hughes speak there on two
days. The clahrmaii said this did
not Indicate any doubt as to tho
result of tho election In Ohio.
"Republican victory" he until. "Is j
beyond question. The doslro to haev 1
Coventor Hughes to speak In Oh'o
Is personal ns well as political."
If tlnto could ho arranged he
said tho governor would go to Ohio
during the next two or three weeks.
In the absence of Chairman Loud-
onslager of tho congressional com-
mltteo W. .1. Drowning his repre-
sentative who Is auditor of the
committee snld he know absolutely
there was nothing but harmony be
tween the republican national com-
mittees on the management of the
national campaign.
