BUSY DAY FOR TAFT PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR SUM MER VACATION. Taft Held Conference With His Caxa- paiEn AIanager--War secretaryss

 Good Condition.

Washington, July 2.-Secretary Taft had busy day clearing up as much business as possible. before leaving Washington tomorrow morning for his summer home at Point a'Pitre. on Mur- ray Bay, Canada.
 the Insurance commissioner of Ohio. who is Secretary Taft's campaign man ageF He dropped OF on his way west to have a talk about the matter which fs of greatest interest Co them just now. Naturally. the parties to the conference had nothing whatever to say for publication in regard to it.
 Secretary Taft Is determined to spend the time from now until August at Murray Bay. His voice is better than 1t has been for some time past, and he believes that if he refrains from pub lie speaking for a few weeks he will completely recover. Therefore. he has decided that he will not interrupt his vacation even to so to Tulsa, I. T., and that visit, If 1t takes place at all, must be postponed until the middle of Au- gust. Such private advices as he has received inclines the Secretary to be- lieve that the election in the Indian Territory will not be held before the latter part of August, So that his speech may be still in time to afford voters an opportunity to listen to what he has to say about the new constitu- tion which there is reason to believe will not receive his unqualified ap- proval.
 Secretary Taft is now contemplating 6 change in the program for his Phil ippine trip. He will sail as originally projected. early in September on the steamship Minnesota, but it is possible that he will return to the United States from the Philippines by way of Trans Siberia, crossing Northern Eu- rope and possibly making short stay in the great capitals.
