Syracuse, N. H. Sept, le.--If the
Presidents first day run is fair sam
pie Of what the trip Of 10000 miles win
be, the ordeal facing him is considerably
more formidable than the published sche-
dule indicate. The President was not
slated for a single speech yesterday but
he talked at nearly every important
stop between Boston and Syracuse, at
Worcester, Springfield, Pittsheld, AL
bany and Syracuse. They were all brief
speeches, but long enough to put a lit
tie strain on his voice and Dr. Richard.
son, the Presidents physician, is already
beginning to worry about keeping him
down to q set schedule.
When the President left Boston he had
with him his aged aunt, Miss Della
Torey. OF Middlebury, Mass She is
more than so years old, but she insisted

ON REACHING NEW YORK

New York, Sept. l6.--The sale Of tick
81 for the wslconme home banquet t.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, which opened
yesterday, satisfied the committee ii
charge that there are plenty Of persons
who have faith enough in the Brooklyr
explorers claim to pay So for the priv
ilsge Of attending the function.
DR.. Roswell 0. stebbins, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the Arctic
club, which is arranging the dinner, said
that up 80 noon he had received 200 aP'
pAations for seats.
The banquet will occur at the Waldorf
Astoria on the evening Of September 2s
two days after Doctor Cooks expected
arrival.
Since the number Of tickets is limited
to 1909. the committee believes that the
demand for seats will exceed the supply
and is taking precautions to keep tickets
out Of the hands Of spectators. Pur-
chascrs must give their names and ad-
dresses and no person is permitted to buy
mere than one ticket.
The Cook welcoming committee Of the
Arctic club declares, also, that there il
a big demand for tickets for the steamer
Grand Republic, on which a delegation
will 60 down the harbor to meet Doctor
Cook and transfer him from his steamer
the Caesar II, at quarantine
Because it is now certain that Com
mandsr Peary win not arrive until some
time later, preparation for meeting him
are still in allegiance. Il is believed
that public officers, national, state and
city, viii hesitate TO participate officially
in the welcome to either claimant Of
Artie honors, while the controversy be-
tween them IS still unsettled.
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN said today
that nothing had been done By the city
toward recognizing the arrival Of Doctor
cook. Mayor Mcclellan left town yester-
aay without acting on the memorandum
regarding Doctor Cook which Acting
Mayor NeGOwan says be left on his
desk

being without honor save in his own

The Navy is now recruited almost to

strength being 44,129. The percentage
Of reenlistments has sprung from 81
