two busy days at Sycamore Hill, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is now enjoying very
quiet one. No visitors came to see him
during the morning and none have made
appointments to come during the day.

to do so, had they not been in such
haste. 81 offered to make an appoint
ment for them later" he said, "but
they demanded the right to see him at
once, even ordering me to go to the tele-
phone and call up Sycamore Hill right
away. The tone of the spokesman was
decidedly ugly, too"
