New York. Aug. 14.-It was not until l
o'clock this afternoon that William j.
Bryan was able to announce definitely his
plans for the next few weeks. The decis-
ion arrived at last night that he should
take a rest at some quiet resort to recu-
perate from the effects of severe strain
imposed by his tour from Lincoln to New
York, and to give him time to formulate
his letter of acceptance set Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan to thinking about a suitable place,
and it was finally decided to accept an in
vitatiOn rendered some time ago TO visit
Mr.. and Mrs. E. C. Perrine at their home,
Upper Reuhook, in Duchess county, New
York. telegram was sent Mr.. and Mrs.
Perrine, and when the answer was re-
ceived this evening, saying that the visit
will be agreeable at this time, Mr.. Bryan
arranged his programme.
Mr.. Perrine was teacher at the female
academy in Jacksonville, ILL.,, while Mrs.
Bryan was a pupil there. Mr.. Bryan also
knows her well, as he was a student at
the same time at the Jacksonville college.
Standing In the vestibule Of William p.
st. Johns residence. No. 123 West Thirty
fourth street, Mr.. Bryan told group Of
newspaper men what his plans were. He
said that he, Mrs. Bryan and Mr.. Sewall
would leave New York over the New York
Central some time tomorrow afternoon
| at lO;45 probably for Irvington- on he
Hudson, to stop over Sunday with Mr..
John Brisbane Walker, editor of the Cos
| mopolitan, and an old friend. Mr.. Sewall
| will return to Maine from Irvington,
while Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will proceed on
Monday TO Upper Redhook They expect
to be with the Perrines a week or ten
days, and on the conclusion of the visit
they will start west
Mr.. Bryan said he expected to stop at
several places on his western journey
among them Buffalo. Erie and Cleveland
He was not prepared to give the date but
| It is known that he Will be in Buffalo, Aug.
~ and in Erie on the 18th. At the latter
place he will address the convention Of
democratic clubs of Pennsylvania
lie will reach Lincoln about September
i, and probably receive the notification
of the national silver party at that time.
D
| statement, Mr.. Bryan had nothing to say
/ With reference to his physical condition
| he told a Southern Associated Press re-
/ porter, with a smile, that he felt that he
/ had not reached the end of his physical
| strength and power, he felt 1t was neces-
| sary to have as much rest and quiet as
| possible while engaged in the composition
| of his letter of acceptance.
! Mr.. Bryan will not make any speeches
! according to present intentions, on his
! trip to Upper Redhook He said his
| speaking program had not been arranged
| but that he might speak in New York
/ again before the election. Mr.. Bryan's
voice is still husky but he looked well and
| strong.
The decision to proceed west frnmedia te-
ly after the visit to Upper Redhook, is
| understood to mean an entire abandon
ment of the contemplated visit to Mr. Sc
wall at Bath, Maine Whether Mr.. Bryan
will visit New England during the cam
! paign Is doubtful but It is said his per-
sonal inclinations are toward a New Eng
land campaign, and he may go there when
he comes to New York again.
This evening Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan went
to a photograph gallery and had some
wards they took drive about town with
Mr.. st. John and Mr.. Sewall.
Among the callers on Mr.. Bryan to-day,
were Senator Stewart of Nevada, and Rep-
resentatiYe H. G. Sulzer.
Senator Jones' chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, said tonight
that he would not announce the different
committees until after he reaches Wash
ington. He Will arrive In that city to-mor-
row morning.
Late this afternoon Mr. and Mrs. BRYAN
Mr. Sewall and Mr.. st. John drove to the
TWenty-secOnd street pier, and took the
steamboat Taurus for Coney Island. Two
central Office detectives went along. The
trip had been kept secret and nobody at
the pier knew of their coming. On the
way to the island two men on the boat
became involved in a discussion over the
money question and one told his oppo-
nent that he'd be id if he voted for
Bryan" Mr.. Bryan was recognized at
about this time and the gold man apolo-
gized to Mrs. Bryan for his language and
to Mr.. Bryan for saying that he Would
not vote for him.
Its principle, Mr.. Bryan, "he explain-
ed, 'and I can vote against you without
thinking any the less of you'
That's all right" replied the candidate
You vote according to your principles. -
The incident caused some amusement
to the members of the Bryan party
There was nothing of note on the triD
Mr.. and Mrs Bryan and their friends dil
not leave the Taurus. A number of per
sons shook hands with them, but the
crowd was polite and did not give an
noyance. The Taurus returned to her nier
here at o'clock and the party were
driven directly to Mr.. St. Johns house
Mrs Bryan said that they enioyed the
experience immensely.
Senator Jones of Arkansas had a last
talk with Mr.. Bryan tonight prior to his
departure for Washington.
