CRANE REPORTS TO TAFT

~ YSTER BAY, \. y, Aug. 14-Ex-
President Roosevelt announced
today that Lloyd &. GrfseOm,
chairman of the New York Republican
more Hill tomorrow for a conference.
Mr. GriseOm spent last night with
President Taft at Beverly, although
Colonel Roosevelt would not say that
as the bearer of an important message
from President Taft.
The conference, therefore, viii be of
more than usual importance.
The colonel would add nothing to
the bare announcement that Mr.. Girls
com was to come except to say that
he had read with great interest the
dispatches from Beverly, intimating
that the President is expecting Secre-
tary Ballinger TO resign and that Sena-
tor Aldrich and Speaker Cannon in
the future are to be in less direct con-
tact with the administration.
He refused TO give his views on this
subject or TO say whether the message
which Mr.. Griseom bears constitutes
program for readjusting conditions
within the party.
Relations Defined.
1t is believed here. however that as
a result of Mr.. GriscOms visit the exact
relations between the President and
the eX-pTesident will be more clearly
defined, even though no public an
nOuncement be made. Since Colonel
RoOseVelPs return from Africa, he has
resolutely avoided placing himself on
record in regard TO the Taft admin
istratlon- He has seen the President
only once and then for a comparatively
short time, during his visit to Boston
for the Harvard commencement
So far as known, no messages havG
passed between them since that tinye,
and II is believed President Taft de-
sires to ascertain where his predecessor
stands, particularly in view of the ma
tional campaign which is soon TO get
under way.
That Western Trip.
Colonel ROoseyelt's western trip is
to start on Tuesday Of next week. Dur
Ing the trip il is expected be will place
himself on record in regard to a num-
Der OF matters of great interest to the
country and TO the Republican party
One of them will be the conservation
of national resources.
While il is believed Colonel Roose-
Welt will not have one word of criti-
cism of the administration in any Of
these speeches, there is good grounds
for assumption that he VIII not depart
from the vigorous stand for eOnserva-
ton which he assumed while he was
president.
Whatever may be the tenor Of Mr..
Griscom's message from the President,
IL may be said that Colonel Roosevelt
will proceed with the program which
it is known he has mapped out for
himself.
From Coast to Coast.
Colonel Roosevelt announced today
that he had decided on a third long
trip. Starting some time in March he
Will go from coast TO coast on a trip
that will occupy about one month
The colonel said that while he was in
Africa eight months ago, he accepted
an invitation from President Wheeler
of the University of California, to
speak at the university on charter day,
next March. He will go by the south
ern route. Only one other speech has
been definitely settled On-that at the
southern commercial congress in At
lanta.
From Atlanta, Colonel Roosevelt will
travel through the south, making one
speech in each state which he trav-
erses. He probably will make a short
stop at the Texas ranch Of Cecil Lyon
