I may be mistaken but I believe I can change the President's views. I shall under-
take to see him sometime next week after I have talked with McAdoo who comes tonight
to remain until after the election.
October 30, 1914.
We went to dinner at Edward S. Martin's last night but I left shortly after
nine to meet McAdoo at the Vanderbilt Hotel. He was exceedingly disturbed about
his health; about his interview with the President concerning the Metropolitan Life,
and concerning our mutual friend, Joseph P. Tumulty.
He complained that the President rarely consulted him about matters of policy,
and he thought he went to Tumulty for practically everything, which, as a matter of
fact, he dose not do. He read m<add>e</add> <del>y</del> two long letters which he had written to the
President upon subjects that might have been better discussed in person, and I won-
dered why he took that method of communicating with him.
I told of my interview with Knapp and my impression that a decision by him
would not be necessary until April first. He was generally cast down largely. I
think, from over work and a run-down condition.
George Harvey lunched with me today. He was entertaining as usual. He has
an extraordinarily clever mind, but his judgment is not always accurate. He said
McCombs had been down with him eight days and had nearly driven him and Mrs. Harvey
crazy. Mrs. Harvey finally had to abandon the ship, going away for a visit. Har-
vey said he now well understood, for the first time, what the President had suffered
and asked if some measure of relief could not be given him by sending McCombs out
of the country to any place no matter how unfit he was to fill it.
He <del/> spoke of Berlin and said of course Untermyer and McCombs were perma-
nent candidates for everything that popped up, and that while Untermyer was well
equipped mentally for the place, he doubted whether Germany would receive him, and
he thought, too, something was due the President and McCombs should be given the
appointment, no matter how badly he filled the office.
