WILL CONFER WITH HUGHES
Former President Forced to AS
sumo Active Leadership of
New York Republicans
T Associated Press1

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July IL
Theodore Roosevelt's four days of rest
are over. Tomorrow he will turn from
wood chopping, hay making and tennis
playing to dip into practical politics
once more.
In the morning he will go to his Of
flee in New York. There he will meet
GoveHhor Hughes and bring him back
to oyster Bay in his automobile. At
any rate, the governor is to be here
late tomorrow night to spend the night
and part of the next day at Sycamore
Hill.
Colonel Roosevelt played tennis for
time today and denied himself to
callers.
Tomorrow's conference with Cover
nor Hughes is to be concerned pri-
marily with New York state politics,
with particular reference to the formu-
lation of plan for enacting direct
nomination legislation.
It has been pointed out that the
enactment of any such bill as the
Cobb direct nominations measure
would mean a task worthy of the
prowess of the ex-president, since 1t
would involve subjugation of the Re-
publican organization which has op-
posed and defeated the bill.
Since Colonel Roosevelt has thrown
himself into the thick of the fight and
since Governor Hughes has shown no
intention Of relinquishing his place on
the supreme court bench to run again,
the deduction is made that with the
governor out of 1t, the colonel Will be
connpelled to conduct the fight that he
has made his own by becoming in per
son the active leader of the so-called
progressive Republicans of the state;
It is regarded probable that no formal
statement will be issued as to the in
ward character of tomorrow's confer
ence. whatever passes between the
two men, it is assumed that out or
the meeting will be born definite,
aggressive policy.

Madriz government. The most fire.
ouent procedure is reported to be to
make a demand for loan, one-half TO

the rest in three days, with an increase
of % per cent If payment is not forth
coming.
SOLDIERS COLLECT
Police or soldiers surround the house
