Wallace telephoned from Washington that after Mr. Bryan had conferred with

could not, for the reason that people would say it was a Hearst endeavor to se-
cure control of that office in order to persecute his enemies. Shearn saw the
point and will take the <sic>judgship</sic>.
The Belgian Minister is to be here at four, and after him a succession of
people including Frederic Allen, Congressman-elect Caldwell, etc. etc.
