VISITS PROF. SELIGMAN.
Member of Russian Mission at Lake
Placid.

Lake Placid n Y. Sept 3-M. Nowhoff. said
to be member of the Russian peace mission
and his private secretary were guests to-day at
the summer camp OF Professor f. r. A Selig-
man. of Columbia College. on Lake Placid near
the Stevens House Much secrecy attended the
visit The Russian representatives refused to
see newspaper men or to give any explanation
of their presence here.
Professor seligman himself was equally un-
communicative He refused to divulge the names
Of his guests SAYING he had been requested by
them rot to do so. In explanation Of this re-
quest ne said his visitors feared any publicity at
tending the visit might be construed as havlns
some connection with the movement to improve
the condition os the Jewish people in Russia In
which the professor is interested.
This" said Professor Seligman is not the
case This is purely social visit. II has nothing
whatever to do with the improvement Of the
condition of the Jews in Russia, nor has it any
thing TO do with financial conditions there.
Neither NJ Witte nor Baron Rosen is here. I
cannot divuge the names Of my guests, because
they do not wish it
Professor Seligrnan further explained the visit
bv saving that he Is one of the few American
members of the Russian Academy OF Sciences
of which his guests are also members
The belief is growing among students Of Rus
sian affairs now spending the summer In the
Adirondacks that the influential Jews In America
vera not prepared for the sudden conclusion OF
peace between Russia and Japan. and are now
endeavoring TO get from the Russian government
pledges of reforms calculated to improve the con-
dition of the Jews In Russia before the actual
signing of the treaty takes place
Professor Selgman. who is recognized
authority on social economics is a brother of l.
n Seligman. the New-York banker and Jewish
leader. who with Adolph Lewisohn and jacob
Schif. recently went TO Portsmouth to present
the cause OF the Jews in Russia to the Russian
peace commissioners. Professor Seligman will
sail for Europe and the general belief is that
both this trip and to-day's conference al his
camp have TO do with the welfare OF the Rus
sian Jews
The visiting Russians left Professor Seigman' 5

ence last week that Mr Jerome realized the posi-
bilitv Of mistake by the public 70 his own
wishes and his own intentions He steadily adhered
TO the belief that his public declaration Of August
covered the ground. His statement last night was
made SO that no friend Of his could hereafter mis-
understand the strength as well the sincerity OF
his determination that under circumstances
would he he a candidate for Mayor this year.
To make this entirely clear. Mr. Jerome made his
statement of last night all-enbracins. To his pre-
v.ous declaration Of preference he added the final
declaration that under conceivable circum-
stances would he be mavoralty candidate this
year. Some time in the next few weeks his nomi-
nation papers for District Attorney will be filed
Apparently this is the only other document in evil
dence Of his purposes that he can now submit In
the time he has returned 10 his shop. where
he is constructing. not clock, as in 1893. but a
