CAR-TAIL SPEECHES
Gov. Roosevelt VIII NOt Talk
 From the Train
Troubled With a Bad Throat.-Itin-
 erary For Western Tour About
 Completed Nothing to Say About Candidates For Governor.

New York, Aug. 2G.-The itinerary for Governor Roosevelt's tour through the west during September and October has been about completed and the changes which are made in it thereafter will be arranged by National Committeeman Payne, who has charge of the western headquarters at Chicago, in whose ter ritory most of the governors speaking will be done. The governor will be ac- companied throughout his trip by Col onel Curtis Guild. Jr., of Boston, and John Proctor Clarke of this city. MT. Clarke was the governors companion on his campaign tour through New York in 1898 and is warm personal friend.
 Governor Roosevelt will not make any car-tail speeches. This was decid- ed upon yesterday. The governor and Senator Nathan B. Scott, of West Vir- ginia, who has charge of the speakers bureau, had a long talk on this subject. 1 Governor Roosevelt told Senator Scott frankly that his throat had caused him a great deal of trouble during the past month, and that he did not believe that he would be able to respond to ,he demand which Mir Scott had told him would be made for a speech every time the train stopped. Thz trip is to last fOrty-three days and the governor will make In the neighborhood of Seventy-five speeches. These speeches will all be scheGul by the national committee. and Governor Roosevelt be- liaves; that they will be all that his throat will permit him to make. Sena- tor Scott agreed with the governor per feo:ly, and the republicans along the line will be made to understand before the trip begins that they cannot expect Governor Roosevelt to speak to every crowd that gathers.
 The governor will probably travel in a special car, although this has not been decided yet. At any rate he will travel on regular trains, for the na- tiUnal committee has declared that better time can be made on the regu- lar schedules of the roads over which ne is to pass than could be had on a special train. This will relieve the de- mands for car-taiI speeches Ito some eX- tent. Wherever il is necessary that q speech shall be made. Colonel Guild or Mr. Clarke will make the speech, and as both of them are excellent cam paigners the committee expects that they will prove satisfactory.
 Governor Roosevelt had long talk with Senator Hanna, Treasurer Bliss, , and then Gen. Francis Vir.5n Greene. president of the republican county com mit;ee. saw all of them and remarked that the governors assistance was needed in the campaign in this county. Committeeman Frederick s. Gibbs backed General Greene up in this. The governor said that there was nothing new in the ma tier of the charges broughis against the mayor on account of his interest in the Tammany ice trust. Mayor Van Wyck was intown yesterday for d f w minutes on his way to Seabright. where he will spend the rest of his vacation. Nothing can be done in regard to the charges until fif- teen days have elapsed from the date that they were served on him, or until his answer to them is received. Cover nor Roosevelt said that he had nothing to say about the candidacy of any per son for the republican nomination for governor this fall. When he was asked about it he laughed and said: See Senator Platt. l know nothing about it."
 Among the politicians there was some speculation as to whether the governor would appoint a successor to the late Justice Frederick s. Smyth of the su- preme court. The names of eX-Justice William N. Cohen, eX-Justice Joseph F. Daly. and eX-Judge James A. Blanch- ard were mentioned, but nobody knows what the governor intends to do about this matter.
