Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 12.-Colonel
Roosevelt is awaiting the arrival of
Governor Hughes, who is to leave
New York this afternoon for oyster
Bay.
The unusual silence that has sur
rounded Sycamore Hin for the past
few days will be broken on the ar
rival of the governor.
II the governor fails to show up late
this afternoon the hitch in arrange
ments may be laid to some sudden
call which Hughes had not expected,
for the colonel announced that the
governor would be here without fail
and the governor has also divulged
his plans. He will remain over night.
There is nothing mysterious about
this much talked of conference.
Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Gov
ernor Hughes has made any effort to
keep the meeting a secret. 1t is
known positively that they will talk
politics, making a sweeping survey of
the state situation from one end to
the other. Since Mr.. Roosevelt was
turned down by the legislature at
Albany on his endorsement of the di-
rect nominations bill he has naturally
become more interested in the propo-
sition than he ever was before.
The visit of Collector Loeb to Bev-
erly was discussed freely here. Col
onel Roosevelt had nothing to say con-
cerning it, but it is generally believed
u snah
to Burgess Point to patch up anything
between him and President Taft, for
the colonel is not in the habit of work
ing in that manner. AS a matter of
fact, the theory of a personal breach
between the president and the ex-
president has been exploded so far as
Oyster Bay goes.
The possibility of Mr.. Loeb's seek
ing the nomination for governor on
the Republican ticket in New York
state this fall is by no means laughed
at here. Loeb has not said that he
doesn't want the nomination and his
friend, the colonel, has kept quiet on
that score. 1t is known, however, that
Mr.. Roosevelt would do what he can
to further the collectors interests in
the gubernatorial campaign provided
that others in authority take the boom
seriously.
Just how far Governor Hughes and
the colonel will go in their discussion
of the state situation is of course un-
certain. From their public acts, how
ever, it is not going too far to say
that they will map out plan of some
sort to whip the Barnes-W s-Wadsworth.
Woodruff combination in the Saratoga
convention where the chief bone of
contention will be the direct nomina.
tons program. The Hughes attitude
toward the machine and bosses l.
clearly defined. Roosevelt is all for
Hughes.
There is foundation for the talk that
the colonel will push himself into the
legislative graft investigation in New
York. He might, but he probably won't.
There are plenty of other things Just
now to which he must turn if he would
hold the position that he set out to
hold. The state fight and the western
trip are sufficient even for him.
New York, July 12.-Governoi
Hughes, who left Albany by boat at 6
O'Clock last night, arrived here at 8
o'clock this morning. He is attending
to private business in New York this
morning, and this afternoon will 90 TO
