oyster Bay. N Y. July 1.-THE IN
usual silence that has surrounded Saga

broken tomorrow on arrival of Gov,
Hughes II the governor fails 10 show up
late in the afternoon the hitch in ar
engagements may be laid 10 some sudden
can which Hughes had not expected, for
the colonel announced that the governor
would be here without fail, and the gov
ernor has also divulged his plans. He
will remain over night.
There is nothing mysterious about this
much-talked-of conference. Neither Col.
Roosevelt nor Gov. Hughes has made any
effort to keep the meeting a secret. It is
known positively that they viii talk poll
tics. making a sweeping survey OF the
State situation from one end to the other
Since Col Roosevelt was turned down by
the legislature at Albany on his indorse-
ment of the direct nominations bill he has
naturally become more interested In the
proposition than he ever was before. The
newspaper criticism of his editorial in
the Outlook has tended to make him all
the more keen to have the governor talk
things ever with him.
Discuss Loeb'a Visit.
The visit of Collector Loeb TO Beverly
was discussed freely here to-day. Col.
Roosevelt had nothing to say concerning
1t. but it is generally believed that the
colonel did not send Loeb out to Burgess
Point to patch UP anything between him
and President Taft, for the colonel is not
in the habit OF working in that manner.
As matter OF fact. the theory OF a
personal breach between the President
and the former President has been ex-
ploded, so far as Oyster Bay goes.
The possibility of Mr., Loeb's seeking
the nomination fer governor on the Re
publican ticker in New York State this
fan is by no means laughed at here.
Loeb has not said that he doesn't want
the nomination. and his friend. the col
onel' has kept quiet on that score 1t

would do what he could to further the
collector in the gubernatorial campaign.
provided that others in authority take
the boom seriously.
Just how far Gov, Hughes and the col
onel win go in their discussion Of the
State situation is, Of course, uncertain.
From the public acts. however. it is not
going too far to say that they viii map

No Statement to be Issued.
It is highly unlikely that either one of
the confeTees Of Sycamore Hill will have
any statement 10 give out tomorrow

newspaper men. but that is all He has
refused all along to commit himself on
any issue except the primary question.
and 1t is not thought here that he will
