Roosevelt Harriman Row Grows Hotter in 1904 Campaign
In New York on April 3 the Harriman Webster and Roosevelt Sherman letters dominate political and financial circles. Harriman suggests he will outline his course if the president replies. He asserts he could not retract his claim that $200,000 was raised at the president's solicitation for New York 1904 campaign and that the president favored appointing Depew ambassador to France if needed. Banking circles note possible light on 1904 campaign contributions if NRCC books are opened. New, Indiana, is now acting NRCC chairman. A discharged Webster stenographer reportedly tried to sell a reproduction of parts of the letters to newspapers.
