Hitchcock would not comment directlv on the reported break, saying with his usual suavity that he “never talked for publication." The story was denied, however, at the Wood camp. Matters may come to a head the first of the week.

One of the tilings which is reported to have strained the relations between Hitchcock and Procter was Hitchcock’s testimony before the senate committee In which he took a round-about slap at i the Wood handlers by saying he did not believe In Urge campaign expenditures. Senator Moses, manager of tbe southern division of the Wood movement, is expected at Woo<t headquarters here any day. Other lieutenants are arriving and ths general assembly of Wood handlers it the chief morse! of gossip along the row. HOOVKR’S NEIV YORK FRIENDS ARRIVING.
