 .1Washington, April 9.The last finger 4ng doubt in the minds of the political generals here as to the probability of Roosevelt taking a quick plunge into the political battle royal has vanished today. The exclusive statement in yesterday's United Press despatches corroborated today by the political correspondents of the morning papers, with the Roosevelt party, means much to those familiar with Roosevelt's tactics
 While the despatches of yesterday and today, from Genoa, outlining the prospects and possibilities of Roose- velt's meeting with Pinchot at Porto Maurizio, do not quote the Colonel, the directness of the statements make it clear that the stories were inspired by the personal conversation of the Correspondents with Roosevelt. It is not believed here that Pinchot made his trip at the request of Roosevelt but there is no denying that his recep- ton by the hunter will be an open arm one.
 That Roosevelt was sufficiently in terested to make an open request that Senator Root meet him and give him the administration side of the present controversy is Interpreted here that Colonel Roosevelt wishes to have at his finger tips when he steps off the boat in New York. a. complete know1- edge of all the political moves and transformations that have been made during his absence.
