The colonel congratulated the governor
on his appointment to the Federal SUI

Dispatches from Albany and Washing
ton stating that Hughes has no intention
of resigning from the bench to run a
third time for the governorship of New
York have made the situation all the
more delicate for Col Roosevelt. He and
Senator Lodge talked this over tonight.
II IS known that the name Of George
B. Cortelyou has been considered by the
colonel as a gubernatOrial possibility in

Hns Kind Word for All.
Big and little politicians have been
flocking around him, and the colonel has
had kind word for all. The speculation
about Gov Hughes mas been so interest
ing that the governor shared the honors
with the colonel everywhere they went.
While the procession OF the graduating
class on It's way to Sanders Theater to
receive its degrees was halted IL front
Of Massachusetts Hall, Col Roosevelt
spotted Gov Hughes. They had not met
since the hunter got back from Africa.
The colonel rushed up TO the governor
and grasped his hand.

am" said Col. Roosevelt.
Gov Hughes returned the greeting with
less emotion The colonel made a re-
mark which the bystanders didn't catch,
and then he told the governor that he
was 1.-THE only man IN the State"
Gov Hughes made no comment at this.
He smiled and limited that 1t would be

but the public smile instantly disap-

Roosevelt and Hughes, standing to-

Roosevelt was dressed simply as q lay

"All right. Barrett replied Col. Roose-
welt; wen be right with you"
The conversation with Gov. Hughes was
abruptly ended.
ObIivious to Surroundings.
When you consider that both men were
oblivious Of the goings on about them
you may be certain that the colonel vii

Hughes 20 accept his views on the polit'

Wendell had snatched a kodak from s
