New York, April 3.—While the con troversy which has arisen between President Roosevelt and E. H. Harri man, following the publication of a letter written by E. H. Harriman to Sidney Webster regarding collection of campaign funds by Mr. Harriman dur ing the presidential campaign of 1904, is attracting widespread attention, pol iticians and others, who were closely connected with the campaign, do not show any disposition at this time to discuss the subjact. Senator Chauncey M. Depew, however, said: "My know ledge of the $200,000 campaign fund wa3 all gained after the occurrence to which Mr. Harriman refers. I knew nothing about it at the time and it would be improper for me to mention any names in any way.

Harriman, growing out of conferences between the two in the latter part of 1904, the details of which were made public yesterday. It is authoritatively declared at the White House today that the real reason for Harriman's interest in the election of the state ticket in New York in 1904, reference to which was made in the communications which passed between him and the president, was that he desired to advance his own ambitions. It is asserted that Harriman wanted the position of senator, now filled by Depew, and that this was the reason why he was anxious to have him Ap pointed ambassador to Paris.
