 Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 6.- There was a political conference at Sagamore Hill to-day. President Roosevelt had as his guests Representative Littauer of New York, Postmaster General Cor telyou, chairman of the republican na- tional committee, and Lyman N. Bass of Buffalo. It is understood that both the congressional campaign and the sit nation in New York state were thor oughly canvassed.
 MT. Littauer has long been political conferee of President Roosevelt and all though he has said that he would not be a candidate for reelection, he still maintains his close connection to the situation in New York state, When Mir. Littauer returned from Sagamore Hill to take his train for New York after spending hours with the president, he emphasized again that the president has a most keen interest in the out come, of the congressional election. and also that while he has determined to take no active part in the state sit> uation he is very desirous that the right thing be done by the party in strengthening out it's tangle
 While MT. Littauer admitted that the state campaign was discussed most ser- iously he said he was not at liberty to announce any conclusion reached
 Tt is apparent to every observing man in the state," he said, that the situation to-day is such as to demand the advent of man big enough to en- tirely ignore bossism, a man who could administer the affairs of the state as governor with a master hand and who could command the vote of the re- publican party independent of factional opposition. New York has had ten years of republican rule. The state has prospered under it's rule and there Is no doubt that large percentage of young voters of the state are repub- licans in their inclination. What the party needs at this moment is the nom- nation of a man for governor who can unite the republican voters of the state. Of course the work in hand Is to find that man."
 MT. Llttauer said that the issues of the party were most clearly defined and on them the party must stand, win or lose.
 Mir. Lttauer regards the entrance of organized labor into the congressional campaign as factor that makes pre- diction on the result very difficult. He said that the republican party, how ever has made It's record in this re- gard and must stand on that record. So far as eight hour legislation Is con- cerned, he maintained that all has been done which can be done. The demand of organized labor for an anti-injunc- ton legislation cannot be met. Such legislation, he said, would be entirely foreign to the principles of our govern ment, as it is clearly class legislation. Taking into account the uncertainty of the effect of organized labor he said that he believed the republican party would nevertheless organize the six tieth congress.
 Mir. Cortelyou returned to his summer home at Huntington Lodge. MT. Bass is a personal friend of President Roose- welt.
 President Roosevelt attended the meeting here tonight of the Matinicock lodge of Masons. of which he is a mem Der. The meeting was the first to be held since last winter, and the presi- dent made a short address.
