| On matters political Mr. Roosevelt was

to have him express his opinions on the
defeat at Albany of the direct nominations
legislation favored by himself and Governor
| Hughes, but he declined TO discuss the mat
| ter Mr. Roosevelt also declined to say
| anything about the invitation Of Jack
| Gleason TO be at the ringside in Reno on
| Independence Day.
The statement that Mr.. Roosevelt would
| return to Massachusetts in the fall and
take part in the Republican state campaign
was made by Senator Lodge this afternoon.
! The Senator said:
| Colonel Roosevelt is a remarkable man
| in many ways. He has wonderful-an
astonishing hold-on the American people
| He has had good time here. Both of US
enjoyed the visit with the President i'm
mensely yesterday. Colonel Roosevelt will
not talk politics. There is no doubt, how

something important TO say
Interested in Lodges Success.
I expect he will speak here in the cam
paign He is interested in my success and

He thinks a lot of Governor Draper he
showed plainly at commencement. Colonel
Roosevelt is a wonderful votegetter, and
his influence here is sure to be helpful in
the campaign.

the political side il may bear fruit later
Mr. Roosevelt remained at the hospital
ffty-five minutes When he returned to the
street and entered the automobile with
Senator Lodge, he declined to say any
thing to the newspaper men who gathered
around.
The former President and Senator Lodge
then were driven into Boston. where they
went to the home Of DR.. w. S: Bigelow,
at No. &c Beacon street. Both DR.. Bige-
low and his wife are in Europe at present,
and Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Lodge
| availed themselves of their intimacy with
the Bigelow family TO use the Beacon
street home as waiting room pending
the time for the departure of the train
From the Bigelow house Messrs. Roose-
Welt and Lodge went directly to the Back
Bay station OF the New York. New Haven
& Hartford Railroad. They had to wait
about ten minutes before the train for
! New York rolled into the station, and the
most of the time the former President
and the Senator spent in earnest converse
ton.
Newspaper Men Greeted.
At the station Mr.. Roosevelt shook hands
cordially with all the newspaper men, but
! he refused absolutely to talk politics.
How do you feel to-day, colonel?" asked
one of the reporters.

/ colonel before replying.
! ''On account of what they did at AL
! bany yesterday was the answer.
oh, good Lord" calculated the colonel,
! throwing up his hands and refusing to talk
on the subject.
! After the train had gone, Senator Lodge,
I in speaking further of Justice Moody's con-
dition. said that the invalid had improved
somewhat since the early spring, when the
! Senator saw him. Justice Moody is con-
fined to his bed practically all the time,
although occasionally he sits up. TO-mor-

Senator Lodge was asked if he intended
now to dispense with the police sentries
who have been on duty at his Nahant es-
tate for the last three days. With a laugh
he replied: Yes; now 1 viii be able to re
! lapse into my customary obscuTity.'
