AFRAID TO TALK
after MEETING
Roosevelt Confers With Chair
man Hitchcock, Secretary
Wright and Others.
TWO IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
PRESIDENT LEFT TO MAKE NEG
ESSARY STATEMENT.

oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. mo def
ferences in which President Roosevelt
engaged at Sycamore Hill today could
be gained later from any of those who
participated.
Secretary of War Wright and Colonel
Hugh l.. Scott, superintendent of the
West Point military academy, talked
with the president about the cases of
the eight cadets recently suspended for
hazing. II is believed that the secre-
tary maintained his earlier position that
clemency might be shown without vio-
lence TO military discipline, and Colonel
Scott held TO his former and contrary
opinion. The attitude of the president
has already been made known. and he
is supposed to have sought today a
thorough exposition of both sides of
the matter. IL a final decision was
reached it was scrupulously withheld
from the newspaper men, and will be
announced probably from the war de-
partment on Monday.
National Republican Committee
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock dis
cussed politics with the president earlier
in the day but he. too. was non-com-
initial when seen later. He contented
himself with saying that his conversa-
ton with the president concerned poll
ties in general.
Notwithstanding the large number of
guests which he entertained during the
day, the president did not fail to have
his usual quota of daily exercises. The
first arrival of the day was welcomed
by Mr.. Roosevelt while the latter was
in outing garments and damp with the

cable to make any reduced fares for
this occasion, that since the local pas
Senger fares in the state of Nebras ska
had been reduced from 3 to 9 cents per

made for any gathering in that state. So
