Boston, June 20.-COl0nel Theodore
Roosevelts determination to visit Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge after the Har-
ward university commencement festiv.
tiles has deepened the belief In politi-
cal circles here that the much talked
of Taft t-Roosevelt- Hughes conference
is about to take place. Because of this

Roosevelt and Of Governor Hughes of
New York, both Of whom are today In

est. The expected conference, In the
opinion of the politicians who have
discussed it, may have an important
bearing upon future political events in

dent Taft is at Beverly. 1t is expected
that the three will find opportunity to
meet and talk things over.
After the Harvard festivities Colonel

Friday of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
There has been revival of the talk
concerning Roosevelt's desire to In
duce Governor Hughes to refuse ap-
pointment as justice of the United
States supreme court and seek nomina
tion for third term.
The coming of Roosevelt or some
thing else must be worrying the Re-
publican leaders of this state, for it is
some years since the campaign was
opened in the month of June, but prec-
edents must be established occasion
ally, so Senator Lodge, Congressman
Nick Longworth, Governor Draper and
Congressman Mccall whooped 1t up In
large hall at Somerville yesterday.
Governor Draper told what had been
done by the legislature and put in a
word for all Republican candidates.
Speaking Of the senator and Messrs.
Longworth and Mccall, the governor
said that they have had much to do
with the legislation that has been
passed In Washington"
Senator Lodge admitted that the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill was the best
that could be made under crude and
unscientifc method while Mr.. Long
worth declared the measure had been
grossly misrepresented."

dress 30 the tariff and did not once re-
fer to the recent attack made upon him
by Congressman Butler Ames
1t was as president of the Harvard
Alumni Association, and Harvard
graduate, instead Of merely the only
living ex-president of the United
States that Theodore Roosevelt was
h0nored today. He was the central
figure of commencement Day at Har-
ward, and was cheered frequently
and heartily as he participated in
the exercises. Headed by President
Lowell, the procession of distin-
guished guests and alumni marched
to Sanders theatre at 10 o'clock,
where the formal exercises and pre-
sentation of degrees to the more
than 500 graduates, the largest class
in the history of the University, was
begun.
At the exercises Col Roosevelt
met Governor Hughes and was effu-
siye in his greeting, slapping the
governor on the back. RooseveIt's 8
action is considered significant In
view of the rumor that he may per-
suade Governor Hughes to abandon
the supreme court and run again for
governor.
1t had been expected that Roose-
welt would be presented with an
honorary degree, but he was not.
Among those given degrees were
Governor Hughes and ]. Pierpont
