Mass, whence he will be driven over
to Beverly in the big touring car tin
he has taken such a fancy to all OF
81 sudden. 1t has been suggested b.
men who are close to the colonel that
Senator Lodge and Congressman Nick
Longworth would not surprise any
body If they dropped in along with the
ex-President. and perchance Governor
Hughes.
Mind Not Made Up.
Those who have discussed politics
with Colonel Roosevelt know that he
has not yet made up his mind in re-
gard to the Taft administration. He
has not indorsed or given any hint
that he favors what the President has
been doing. and he will not make a
public announcement until he has the
opportunity of feeling his way. The
colonel Is very busy at present at
tempting to get a line on how things
stand, both locally and nationally. The
wires to Sycamore Hill are getting
hotter and the mail is increasing tre-
tnendously every day.
1t is said here tonight that Mr.
Roosevelt is going to try to get Presi-
dent Taft to exert his influence upon
Governor Hughes to give up the
Federal Supreme Court bench for a.
third term in the gubernatorial chair
at ssibany. The colonel is dead il
earnest about Hughes saving the Re-
publican party in New York State, and
the visit OF Hughes 10 Sagamore Hill
some time soon will be a mighty In
teresting one. The newspaper men
here have been on edge all week In
expectation of the Governors arrival
Several letters have passed between
the colonel and him concerning it.
Until Colonel Roosevelt leaves Saga
more Hill for New York to take the
train to Boston on Tuesday, he will
remain as quiet as he Is able.
Spends Quiet Day.
To-day for the first time since he
returned from the African jungle, and
he spent an unobtrusive day with his
family. There were no visitors.
In the morning the colonel attended
the Episcopal Church with his boys,
Archie and Quentin, Mrs. Roosevelt did
not accompany him. OF course the in
habitants of oyster Bay, who would
rather gaze on the ex-President than
do most anything else. Were out in
full force. AS he stepped out of the
church. after the Rev. II. II. Wash
burn had conducted services the
colonel was held up for a handshak-
ing reception. He responded with
Gusto.
During the afternoon he walked.
wrote. read and chatted with his
family. He put in couple of hours
arranging the countless African tro-
phies he brought back with him. The
house on Sycamore Hill is so Uttered
up with all sorts OF stuff that 1t will
be weeks before things are arranged
to the satisfaction of the colonel. He
will spend good part of tomorrow
around the hill. No guests are sched-
