NEW YORK, June l4.--Men who
have recently conferred with Col.
Roosevelt arrived in New York to-day
and they confirmed emphaticaliy the
report cabled 10 the United Press that
the Colonel win refuse to take a prom
inent and immediate part in this falls
political campaign, They unite in
declaring that Col. Roosevelt intends
to rest at oyster Bay until early in
August and while there will confer
with personal friends who have writ
ten asking for appointments. He Will
not, however, make any public utter
ances of a political character but will
thoroughly post himself on the situa-
tion in the nation during his rest.
These men who claim 10 know just

lowing Col Rooseveits return In the
hope that the former president and
