Adirondacks was at an end. Indeed, there Is
small chance for him to take many more such,
for he leaves here on August Is.
So much has been printed Of the Governors
vacation" in the AdrCndacks that a popular
idea has gained ground that he is up hero
purely for pleasure and that he is doing abso-
lutely work Nothing could be further from
the truth So far he has taken but few
short fishing trips. Indeed, those familiar with
the executive say that he is doing much IL
not more work here in the quiet of he Adj
rondacks than he does in Albany. He is up
each morning has his breakfast eaten and is
at work by 10 o'clock AS his workroom when
he came here the Governor chose a small ante
room off the main living room of the pretty
rustic cabin he is occupying. Mr. Fuller, his
secretary and the stenographer had for their
office the room just back of this, which was
formerly used as a dining room. The Governor
and his family have for dining room.
as all of their meals are eaten at Saranac Inn.
which is but a short walk from the cabin. All
of the forenoon and practically all of the after
noon are given up by the Governor to hard
work the states business, and sometimes he
even works In the evening About O'Clock
each fair afternoon, however, he and Mrs
Hughes go for short boat ride. Mrs. Hughes
devOtes large part of her time to needle
work, and the younger members of the family
are kept occupied Win tne various games, OUT
ings and entertainments at the inn Charles
E. Hughes, jr., is very fond of tennis, and takes
part in the various matches and tournaments
The Governor himself is said to play very
good game of golf, and effort is to be made
to get him to take part in the annual tourna-
ment, which starts soon. man of whom the
public knows very little, but who has had
much to do with the comfort of the Governor
and his family during their stay thus far in
the Adirondacks. is M. r. Marshall, the man
ager of the inn. 1t is Mr.. Marshall who side
tracks than one obnoxious inqusitive
person or designing politician who arrives at
the inn prepared to harangue the Governor,
and so vigiiant has the manager been in his
endeavor to keep from his distinguished guest
all such persons that he has earned for him
self among his friends the title of 'the Gov
ernor's bodyguard"
Sunday is as rgidly observed by the members
of the Hughes family here in the heart of the
great Adirondack wilderness as if they were
back at home in Albany. Mostly they attend
service in the pretty little rustic chapel short
distance from the inn, but occasionally they
board a launch and join the campers the
Upper Saranac in attending service at the little
chapel Oh Chapel Island, eight miles down the
lake. On a bright Sunday, the sight afforded
as the launches and boats OF the campers
group about this little dot of an island in the
middle of the lake is one of the pretticst to be
found in all the Adirondack country
At table in the inns dining the Gov
ernor occupies the identical seat occupied by
Ex-Governor Oden during stay made at this
place several seasons ago. This fact has been
made the subject OF a good deal of good nat
ured joking of the Governor by his friends. but
he takes the ground that politics must not In
terfere with ones appetite and continues to use
the seat, which is a good one in pleasant
part of the dining
Among the guests at the inn the Governor
and Mrs Hughes have made themselves well
liked since their coming here by their tactful-
unassurning manner toward all with whom they
have come in contact, and there is not ono
among those here even those whose views on
politics. racing, gambling and other matters
are diametrically opposed to those of the Gov
ernor who is not ready to vote him Jolly
! good fellow and Mrs. Hughes "a charnl:''-
woman"
