was In hurry. There seemed to be

"What?" asked the manager.
"Full-rigged ship has just gone down

There was an immediate rush for
the door. Tables were deserted. and
the men who were eating ran pell-mell
down Broadway. Hatch sat down and
ate quiet luncheon. Then he paid
his check and went out. The street
was full Of people running toward the

For the first time a President of

ed forth. But IS the President inca
pacitated when at sea and who is to
decide? Technically. he is on Amer
lean territory, for where Our hag
floats legItmately over land or sea,
there is American ground. Conse-
quently, it would be difficult to say
he was incapacitated merely because
he had gone to sea for Il few days
which he can very properly do on an
American war vessel as Commander

any rate, it would be a most extra
ordinary event that would lead Vice
President Fairbanks TO seize the OPP

ground that Roosevelt was incapaci-
tated.
