He Takes No Part

President Has Nothing to Do With Nomination of New York's Mayor.

New York, Sept. 17. - President Roosevelt's attention having been called to the letter of District Attorney Jerome addressed to a member of the Citizens' union, in which mention was made of the presidents position in the coming mayoralty campaign in this city the following authoritative statement has been given out:

"It is authoritatively stated that the president's position in the mayoralty situation is as follows:

"The president has not interfered and will not interfere in any way, shape or manner, either for or against the nomination of any candidate for mayor. As an individual the president is of course keenly interested in the success of any movement for good government in New York city as in any city in the land, but the president does not regard it as any part of his duty as president to use his position to influence in any way any municipal election."
