discussion Of political subject During
the afternoon there was a stream of call

them. Gen. Hawley, United States sem

a long talk with the president, and the
latter invited him to go to Washington
on his special car tomorrow.
In the evening part of the cabinet met
at supper. About the board in addition
to the president, were Secretaries Long,
Wilson and Hitchcock. Postmaster Cen
eral Smith and John G. Milburn. Here.
too, political discussion was avoided, but
after supper the president had a long
discussion with the cabinet officers on
the present situation of governmental
affairs. President Roosevelt declined -
talk today or tonight on public policies,
except to say some questions raised in
newspapers regarding his cabinet were
premature. particularly that he had ask
ed the cabinet to stay with him. The
president retired early tonight in prepa-
ration for the journey tomorrow.
