Oyster Bay, Sept. 23.-Two big express cars,
sidetracked near the railroad station, are being
filled with household goods, Office furniture and
other paraphernalia belonging to the President
and his executive force. Tomorrow evening
the horses and vehicles used by the PRESIDENT
and Secretary Loeb will be put aboard the cars
and they will be all ready for shipment to
Washington the following morning
The executive offices, over Moore's provision
store, look though cyclone had passed that
way. Every one connected with the establish
ment is busily engaged in packing up prepara-
tory to leaving for the Capitol. BY sundown to-
morrow not scrap of paper or stick of furni-
ture will be left in the rooms to indicate that
since June 13 they have constituted the summer
White House.
1t is the Presidents wish to start for Wash
ington promptly at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
Ing and in order to insure against delay all
the members of the executive office and Secret
Service force have received orders from Mr..
Loeb to have their belongings ready for ship
ment tomorrow afternoon.
The train that is to take the President back
to Washington will consist Of a private car for
the use of the President, his family and Secre-
tarv and Mrs Loeb; a Pullman for the executive
force and combination coach for the messen-
gers and servants and the personal baggage of
out of Oyster Bay at O'Clock on Wednesday
morning or an hour ahead of the passenger in
order to give the railroad people time to float
them around the lower end Of Manhattan to
Jersey CITY, where they will be attached to the
train which Is made UP and waiting for
them.
The Presidents neighbors and townsfolk gen.
orally are preparing to give him "send-of'
when he leaves on Wednesday morning. They
have had no opportunity to show their loyalty ana
enthusiasm for him since his arrival for the
only glimpses they have had OF him have been
on Sundays, when cheers are hardly In order
There will be no set programme at his leave
taking. for the President is averse to formal
demonstrations at home but there viii be
cheers that are fully as enthusiastic, II not
quite as noisy as bands and anvils- The Presl-
dent will shake hands all around before MS 'raln
pulls out and when he reaches the PLATFORM OF
his car will probably give his friends and neign-
bors a little impromptu talk
Secretary Loeb has not yet announced the
locality in Louisiana that has been selected as
a hunting ground by the President and the
friends who are to accompany him in the search
for bears and boars. II public announcement
were made in advance it is quite likely that
the President would find the ground already
occupied by hunters and photographers when
he arrived and also find the game had gone
1t is also to spare the feelings of the pro-
spective companions of the President that the
full details OF the trip. with the personnel or
the party. are kept secret. II II were known
who will hunt with tho President, each member
OF the party would be badgered half to death
by those who would be eager to join the hunt
either for the glory Of camping out with the
President or for the purpose of whispering in
the Presidential ear certain suggestions relative
to the disposition of federal offices.
