QUIGG SEES THE PRESIDENT.
PIatt's Frierd Says Roosevelt Will Be
Nominated in New York.

WASHINGTON, Sept S.-Representatiye
Quigg, of New York, spent some time with
the President to-day, incidentally touching
on political conditions in New York State.
Mr.. Quigg said afterward that there was no
further doubt as to the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for
Governor. OF the S71 votes in the conven-
ton Colonel Roosevelt would have over 800,
Mr.. Quigg said. Under the circumstances
Mr.. Quigg did not believe the forces of
Governor Black would make serious issue
in the convention, but if the issue was
drawn, he said, the Black strength would
be about 1G0 votes, made.up mainly of state
officials. Mr.. Quigg expressed hope that
there would be a review OF troops in New
York. He said he did not think Congress
would embark on a congressional invesd-
cation Of the conduct Of the war.
Representative Hepburn, Of Iowa, saw the
President relative to a stop in Iowa during
the coming presidential trip West. The
President expressed desire to visit the
State, but said his plans were not yet ma
tured. 1t is expected that something def
mite on route, time of start and places of
visit will be announced in day or two.
A delegation from northwest Ohio, includ-
ing ex-Mayor Baxter, of Lima; ex-State
Senator Shaw p. Gunde, of Upper San
dusky; w. B. Standish, of Lima, and George
E. Gilleland, saw the President as to fur
loughing the Second Ohio Regiment, camped
at Knoxville. The men are anxious to get
back home and while mastering out is in
expedient it is probable that they will be
furloughed from time to time to relieve the
strain of protracted camp life.
A call by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, led
to some conjecture as to his possible choice
as the Democratic member of the peace
commission. The senator declined to discuss
the purpose of his CALL except to say that
it did not relate to the commissionership.
General Miless return to Washington to-
night led to considerable corridor talk as tc
what course would be adopted relative to
the generals published criticisms Officially
however, nothing is said on the subject and
apparently it is not under consideration
Secretary Alger, who expects to go West
tonight, did not call during the early part
of the day. Adjutant General Corbin was
with the President for time
Postmaster General Emory Smith, acting
Secretary Moore and acting Secretary
Allen, Senator-elect BcComas and Repre-
sentatives Wanger, of Pennsylvania, and
Lowe. of New York were among the other
callers. Mr.. Wanger secured an order for
the appointment Of II. S. Stillwagen as post
master Of Rosemont, Pa.
Three members of the Cabinet were with
the President shortly after noon-Secre-
taries Gage. Alger and Postmaster General
Emory Smith. Mr.. Cages call related to
the treasury appointments. Secretary AIger
came to close up many small matters be-
fore starting on his Western trip. He said
he would make a report to the President
to-day concerning the practicability of a
parade Of the returning troops at New York
city. The secretary left Washington at Ii
O'Clock tonight and will be at Camp Meade
tomorrow.
From an authoritative quarter 1t was
stated during the day that the President
had not yet selected the fifth member OF
the peace commission
