THE GOVERNOR RETURNS.
GETS INTO JERSEY CITY UNEXPECT-
EDDY TO THE PUBLIC.
GOES TO THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB AND
DECLINES TO TALK-LITTLE DEMON
sTRATION AS FEW KNEW
OF HIS COMING.

Looking as fresh. with rs much energy in
manner and as blithe in spirit though he had
been spending a restful week at oyster Bay in
stead of having been whirled for several days
and nights in a vortex Of political struggle and
strife. Governor Roosevelt arrived in New-York
last night from Philadelphia. His coming was
not marked by the burning Of red fire and the
shoutings OF the populace. But that was his own
fault. He succeeded in slipping into NewYork
with virtually no one being aware OF his coming
Only a few OF his friends knew by what train
he would travel and his cautions to them they
observed faithfully.
In the early part Of the afternoon II was
stated both in Philadelphia and in this city
that he would not start until to-day. 1t was ex
planned that the Governor did not wish his I'M
mediate plans to be made public. because he
was tired and wanted to avoid demonstration.
After leaving the Convention Hall he was driven
to the house of a relative in Spruce-st, and had
luncheon there In the mean time orders had
been given to attach a special car Tor the ac-
commodation of Governor Roosevelt and his
friends to the day express leaving Philadel-
phia at 5;56, and a few minutes before the
train was timed to start the Governor reached
the station and at once escorted TO the
parlor car Deborah None but the members Of
the Governors party were allowed to enter the
car, admirers and newspaper men alike being
rlgidly excluded. Word was conveyed TO the
latter that the Vice Presidential nominee had
no statement to make and would answer no IN
quries. Among those who travelled IN the prl-
yate car were Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew and
his son. General Francis V. Greene. benjamin b.
Oden jr. and his son. Attorney-General Dawes
and Ex-Governor GIeed of Kansas. The jour
ney to the metropolis uneventful. Inc tram
ran through without stop

AS the train came to a standstill the passen-

quickly up the platform and then, after hur-
riendly shaking hands with Senator Depew and
one OF two others. he stepped on one or the
freight elevators with General Greene and MT
Odeu and disappeared from sight before the
throngs of homeward bound commuters had
time even 10 ask what all the commotion was
about When the word passed around that
