ROOSEVELT
To PAY VISIT
1T NEWPORT

Something more than the hutter of ex-
element that usually follows almost any
announcement that has an important
bearing upon the success of the season
was caused By an assertion yesterday af-
ternoon at Newort that President Roose-
welt would visit Newport in August
Rumors OF this kind are usually in CIR
culation at this time OF year after some
member of the villa colony has invited the
president to visit him, but II is said this
time that the owner of one of the largest
villas has not only invited the president
to be his guest but that Mr.. Roosevelt has
accepted the invitation, but for private
reasons the name OF the fortunate pros
pective host must be withheld for the
present.
IL Is understood however, that President
and Mrs. Roosevelt will be here about the
middle Of August, or about the time that
Prince William OF Sweden will be in New
port.
