FOUR CALLERS ON PRESIDENT
SCOPE OF NATIONAL CIVIC FED
GRAFTON DISCUSSED.
Senator Raines Says That the New
York Political Situation Will
Probably Be Taken Up.

OYSTER BAY, N Y. August 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. after four days or rest,
during which not one official visitor was
received at Sycamore Hill. today had
four guests They were John Raines,
member of the New York state senate:
William B. Hale, a New York literary
man; Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman Of the
executive council OF the National Civic
Federation. and John Mitchell. formerly
president of the United Mine Workers
and now manager of the trade agreement
department of the National Civic FEEDER
alton.
Senator Raines was uncommunicative
regarding his errand. When it was sug-
gested that he possibly may have come
to talk with the President about the gu
bernatorial nomination. Senator Raines
remarked that he came primarily TO see
the President about a little army matter
in which he is interested. He said that
of course the New York state political
situation likely would be discussed by the
President with him.
John Mitchell and Ralph NJ. Easley
came on the noon train and were guests
of the President at luncheon. The object
of their visit is believed to be to talk
over with the President the plans Of the
National Civic Federation. and particu-
larly of the department of trade agree
ment In this work President Roosevelt
is known to be in deepest sympathy. and
with his advice Mr.. Mitchell will make
plans which he hopes will be successfully
tried to make the national federation as
broad in it's work as its name implies.
The Presidents yacht Sylph left Oyster
Bay this forenoon for New Haven. where,
1t is believed. she will meet Miss Ethel
and Theodore Roosevelt, jr.. and bring
them to Oyster Bay. The young folks
have been making visit in Massachu
