WILL WORK FOR FRIENDS
Though Perhaps Not For All of Them-His Silence AS to Recent Exciting Events In Nebraska and Ohio

oyster Bay. July 27.-Those who heard Col. Roosevelt talk at Sagamore Hin this afternoon came away with d sharply eteched shadow picture of what his attitude will be on state and national politics. Primarily he wishes to keep in the background m the approaching campaign, so as not to be accused of assuming dictator ship. Broadly speaking, he will do all in his power to help the men who have stood by him and his policies. but he was noncommittal as to wheth- er he expects to carry this to the point of coming out openly in favor of republicans all over the country whom he considers as standing for his ideas.
 He does say that he must forget factionaI differences and even party lines and support the men and things that he believes stand for the best interests of the country as a whole
 The republican situation in this state is shifting so rapidly, the colonel said. that he was having trouble m keeping pace with it. In today's in terview were mentioned the names of Representative Hamilton Fish and William H. Hotchkiss as having been spoken of recently in connection with the gubernatorial nomination
 He replied by naming the whole list of men mentioned. and he added that he had no idea who the best man would be.
 He refused to discuss the Bryan setback and its causes in the Nebras- ka convention.
 He received a letter that caused him much amusement. In New York on Friday Col. Roosevelt said he had been discussing literature with sev- eral politicians. The letter concluded; Maybe you can fool the feeble minded reporters. but you can't fool the public like that, l know. all the time"
 Col Roosevelt listened with great interest to the news of the nomina- ton of Warren G. Harding for gov ernor by the ohio republicans. He showed special interest in the with drawal of Garfield as a candidate and asked several questions about the nature of the platform He refused to comment on the work of the con- Vention.

WIDER WAS ACTING
 WITH AUTHORITY
When He Plundered the Russo Chi
 nese Bank.

New York, July 27.-The gentle mems agreement between the Russo Chinese bank and it's missing cashier. Erwin Wider, who is accused of em- bezzling $6OO,O00 worth of stocks and bonds, expired today. when the dis trict attorneys office was requested to take action and private detective agency was put on the case. The bank officials are now convinced that the sum stolen has passed beyond re- cOvery.
 The story that Wider had the banks power of attorney finds full credence in Wall street, and it was also assert ed today that many of the certificates he disposed of were still in blank when they vanished. If this can be proved. it will make the task of their recovery from the brokers additional ly difficult.

The Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near n
river one winter day saw a fox run
out on the ice and make at full speed
for an opening IN the ice where the
rushing watet OF the river could be
plainly seen from the bank. says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon dog
came crashing out OF the woods, bay
ing finely. hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on n chase OF this kind
trust almost entirely TO their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the ice, head down. and when
he reached the hole he could not stop.
but plunged into the water and dIsap-
peared forever Then the fox trotted
away with every sign OF satisfaction.
