Secrecy Upset.

Just what was agreed upon in de
tail the President did not make pub
lie. 1t was all mistake that any
thing about the visit reached the pub
lie The plans had been fully laid
for secrecy. Senator Crane slipped into
Beverly by a quiet route, where it was
hardly expected the agents of pub
Iicity would observe him. But the ca.
was let out Of the bag by one OF
those accidents that illustrate the old
adage about the little plans Of mice and
men When Senator Crane was about
to leave the President he expressed
great satisfaction that he had escap-
ed the newspaper correspondents. Some
two weeks ago he came to Beverly and
his doings were so much advertised
that he wanted to shrink into news
insigniticance for a fttle,- like an
Alice in Wonderland.
But all the same the President wants
to know about political conditions far
and wide. He wants somebody with
trained political eyes and ears TO hear
the news for him and TO bring it to

he is pretty well satisfied in some ways,
