ROOSEVELT IS ANGRY
DENIES he AUTHORIZED PINCHOT
TO SAY HE WOULD RUN
AGAIN.
DECLARES STORY IS FAKE
Colonel Says He Is Sorry Not to
Meet Root in Europe-Desires
Light on Political Conditions From
All Sides.

Vienna.-Theodore Roosevelt was
indignant when he learned that a re-
port had been printed in Paris and
cabled to America, to the effect that
one of the results of his recent con-
ference with Clifford Pinchot was an
agreement on his part to use his name
as a candidate for the presidency.
The colonel said the story was
pure fake, that neither he nor Clifford
Pinchot had said anything that could
possibly warrant such a statement.
In this connection Roosevelt said
his meeting with Pinchot should not
be interpreted as desire to hear only
one side of the conservation contro-
versy II want to hear all sides on all
questions" the colonel said, land |
shall be glad to see anyone who can
enlighten me on political conditions.
am sorry that Senator Root could
not come to Europe"
In concluding his remarks regarding
the Paris Herald, the colonel said: las
this is the third false statement IN
the Herald of a similar character,
must absolutely decline to see the
representatives of that paper"
Theodore Roosevelt and his son
Kermit arrived here Friday morning.
A thin haze hung over the Austrian
capital when the train bearing Mr..
Roosevelt drew into the station. The
guest was met by Herr Won Mueller,
principal secretary of the foreign Of
flee, who was there as representative
of the Austrian government. Amer
lean Ambassador Kerens and others
of the STATS of the American embassy
and consulate and Baron Hengelmul-
Ter Won Hengervar, Austro-Hungar1an
ambassador at Washington.
After an exchange of greetings Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Kerens entered a
court carriage and drove directly to
the Hotel Kranz. Owing to the earll-
ness of the hour the streets were al
most deserted and although the
driver and the footman wore the i'm
perial livery the passing of the party
attracted no attention.
After breakfast with Henry White,
formerly American ambassador to
France, who came from Silesia to meet
him, Mr.. Roosevelt received several
Americans who awaited him at the
hotel and then drove in the court car
riage to the foreign office, on the Ball
Platz, and made an official call on
Count Won Aehrenthal, the foreign min
lister.

Roosevelt again entered the court car
riage and drove to the Horburg palace,
where he was received in audience by
Emperor Francis Joseph. AS a spe-
cial mark of esteem the emperor
greeted his guest in his private apart
ments instead of in the usual audience
chamber. AS Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the courtyard the palace guard turned
out and rendered him military honors.
The gorgeous banquet given to for
mer President Roosevelt by Emperor
Francis Joseph, Saturday at the
palace was the final function of royal
ty in his honor. This event, however,
was overshadowed in a measure by a
call on Colonel Roosevelt by the papal
nuncio to Austria, Mgr. Granite di
Belmonte Pignatelli.
This incident is considered here as
being of the greatest significance as
sequel to the Vatican's recent pro-
nouncement.
The nuncio, in full ecclesiastical
vestments of his office, and accom-
panied by his secretary, Mgr. Rossi-
Stockalper, called upon the former
president after the luncheon which
Ambassador Kerens gave in his honor.
After being presented by the Ameri-
can ambassador, the papal nunclo
and Colonel Roosevelt withdrew. They
talked together for twenty minutes,
but what transpired it is impossible
to state, as both subsequently declined
to give any information.
Budapest.-Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt and his son Kermit arrived here
Sunday evening after spending the
day at Pressburg with Count APP
ponyi.
The count met the visitors at the
station with his automobile, in which
they proceeded to the counts castle
at Eberhart.
