NO MOVE JUST NOW.

President Thinks Jewish-Russian Affair Has Been Well Covered.

Washington, June 18. - Following the appearance here of the executive council of the Bnai Brith, a number of other Jewish organizations have addressed themselves to the president and Secretary Hay, requesting hearings on the status of the Jews in Russia.

The president, however, after discussing the matter with Secretary Hay has come to the conclusion that the ground was completely covered at last Monday's conference. That he has nothing more to say on the subject at this time and consequently that no useful purpose would be served by additional hearing. Secretary Hay has been charged to make such a reply to the Jewish organizations.

The petition prepared by the council of Bnai Brith has not yet been forwarded to the Russian government. This cannot be done officially, and it may be that the publicity given to the petition will be regarded as sufficient to meet the needs of the case.
