POLITICS BARRED BY PRESIDENT MEETS HUGHES BUT HOLDS NO CONFERENCE Mr. Taft Is Hopeful That the Tariff Troubles with Canada Will Be Settled— Makes Speeches [Associated Press} ALBANY, N. Y. March 19.—President Taft, Earl Grey, governor general of Canada, and Governor Hughes of New- York met hero today and formed a notable trio of guests at the banquet of the University club tonight. The president arrived from Rochester this afternoon to be the guest of Gov ernor Hughes until Monday morning. Rumors that Mr. Taft was to have an important political conference during his stay proved to be without founda tion. The president announced that he made no engagements of a political character. • Earl Grey also arrived this afternoon. He was met at the station by the local military and escorted to his hotel. The Canadian tariff conference will not be held until tomorrow afternoon. Earl Grey will not. it is understood, take part in the n latlons. Although admitting that the situation is grave, as regards the prospect of a settlement wih Canada, the president Ishopi ful that a personal interview with the minister of finance may do much toward forwarding negotiations. Introduced at the Tuberculosis Con gress by Joseph n. Choate, Pi Bident Taft spoke in part as follows: "I congratulate the people of the state of New York that they have made such progress in this matter. We look to you to help us out In every regard in this nation. You havi gut the men and you have got the money, too. One of the things that troubles the executive at Washington and con gress is the constant appeals that come from tho states that insist on a very narrow construction of the fed crai powers until it comes to con tributing of the federal treasury."
