REGRETS 7 WOOD IS PEEVED

Butler Says Facts as to General’s Campaign Fund Were Known. New York, June 18.—President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university “will give such time and energy in support of the HardingCoolidge ticket as he can spare from bls official duties.” This statement was contained in a reply to General Wood, who termed the president of Columbia a “fakir and a liar.” Doctor Butler’s answer continues : “Political post-mortems are futile, but I am sorry General Wood lost his temper. It does not sound well. “The facts as to his campaign funds are not of my making. They were revealed by a newspaper many weeks ago. “Many delegates at Chicago believed these revelations would defeat General Wood if he were nominated.”
