/ oyster Bay Aug 14.-EX- President
! Roosevelt announced today that Lloyd
| C. Griscom, chairman of the New
| York republican county committee.
! will come to Sycamore Hill tomorrow
! for a conference Nj Griscom spent
| last night with President Taft at BeV-
! erly and although Colonel Roosevelt
would not say so ii is believed that
Mr.. Griscom win come to Sycamore
Hill as the bearer of an important
message from President Taft The
conference therefore, will be of more
than usual Importance. The colonel
would add nothing 10 the bare an
nouncement that Mr.. GriscQm was to
come except to say that he had read
with great interest the dispatches
from Beverly intimating that the pres
ident Is expecting Secretary Ballinger
to resign and that Senator Aldrich
and Speaker Cannon in the future are
to be in less direct contact with the
administration. He refused to give his
views on this subject or to say wheth-
er the message which Mr.. Griscom
bears constitutes another step in the
administration program for readjust-
ing conditions within the rty
1t is believed here. how r. that as
a result of Mr.. Grscoms visit, the
exact relations between the president
and the ex-president will be more
clearly defined. even though no pub
lie announcement be made. Since
Colonel Roosevelt's return from Afri-
.ca, he has resolutely avoided placing
himself on record in regard To the
TAFT administration. He has seen the
president only once and then for
comparatively short time, during his
visit To Boston for the Harvard COM
1nenC ement 80 iag ~ knoND no mas
sages have passea iletween them since
that time and it is believed that Pres
ident Taft desires to ascertain where !
his predecessor stands. particularly |
in view of the national campaign |
whic is soon TO get under way
Colonel Roosevelt's western trip Is |
to start on Tuesday of next week |
During the trip it is expected that he !
will place himself on record in re-
gard to q number of matters OF great |
interest to the country and 10 the re-
publican party. one of them VIII be |
the conservation of natural resources.
While it is believed that Colonel
Roosevelt Will not have one word ol
criticism of the administration in any
of these speeches there is good ground
for the assumption that he will not
depart from the vigorous stand TOR
which he assumed whlle
he was president. Whatever may be
the tenor of Mr.. Griscom's message
from the president, it may be saiu
that Colonel Roosevelt Will proceed
with the program which it Is known
he has mapped out for himself
Colonel Roosevelt announced TO-DAY
that he had decided on a third long
trip. Starting some time in March
he will GO from coast to coast on
trim that will occupy about one month
The colonel said that while he was
in Africa eight months ago. he had
accepted an invitation from President
Wheeler of the University OF Cali
forna to speak at the university on
Charter Day, next March. He will go
by the southern route. only one 9TH
er speech has been definitely Settled
on--that at the Southern Commercial
congress in Atlanta.
From Atlanta Colonel Roosevelt will
travel through the socth, making one
speech in each state which he traV-
els through. He proba bly, viii make "a
short stop at the Texas ranch Of Cecil
Lyon, republican national committee
man, who is an old friend. The re-
turn from California in all probable
ty will be via the Northern route.
