Oyster Bay, y. Y, June 26.-The en-
barge which Theodore Roosevelt has
placed on political news direct from Saga
more Hill was not lifted to-day. and in
the absence of any visitor who might be
connected even remotely with politics
there was no development in the situation
" hich the coming conference with Gov
ernor Hughes has created.
The news that Mr.. Roosevelt had decided
to enter actively into the fall campaign
has brought about endless speculation,
however. from which there has arisen one
well defined rumor. There is a persistent
buzz of gossip that the most important
political gathering of recent months is to
be held this week at Beverly, Mass, or
near by.
No positive confirmatory evidence has
been produced. but much weight is placed
on three words spoken yesterday by MI
Roosevelt. When asked If he expected TO
see President Taft at Beverly after MS
visit to Harvard University he said; L
don't know" His manner showed clearly
his unwillingness to discuss the subject,
but he did not deny the possibility
Governor Hughes's secretary is quoted
as having said yesterday that the Gov
crnor would see Mr.. Roosevelt at Cam
bridge this week. 1t is thought possible
that President Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt and
Governor Hughes may all three foregather.
Senator Lodge. long the spokesman OF
the Roosevelt administration in the Senate,
is IN his home state. and If Representative
Nicholas Longworth is at his Massa-
Chusetts summer place the men most likely
to share in such a conference will be at
close quarters this week
Mr.. Roosevelt had day off to-day; there
wasn't even one visitor at Sycamore Hill.
He said that after a week of crowds,
cheers, handshaking, speechmaking, en-
tertaining and perspiring he had the per-
feet secusion for which he was pining.
He spent the day with his family. The
only time he was seen to emerge from the
woodlands with which Sycamore Hill is
belted was shortly before the bell of Christ
Church, in the village. began to toll. With
his two younger sons Archie and Quentin,
beside him he went to church. Some OF his
townsmen were on hand on the lawn In
front. of the church to see him, and he
waved his hand TO them as he walked into
the building. He was wearing an air of
Sabbath calm. as though well content with
the contemplation of life from the point of
view of q country gentleman.
no reference to the eX-President or the big
stick when he is at home, in any sermon
preached at Oyster Bay, and to-day was
no exception.
Oyster Bay he's reached the conclusion
that the former President has at least
overcome his aversion to automobiles, for
he rode TO church in one again to-day, and
has used one constantly since his return.
AS he came out of church Mr.. Roosevelt
stopped long enough to say that there was
no one at his home except the family, and
to shake hands with two or three old
friends. Then he dashed off again to Sag
amore Hill as though anxious to get back
TO the wide veranda. with its cool breezes
and its view OF an unbroken stretch OF
meadows and woodlands
MI Roosevelt spends much OF his time
on the veranda when at home taking some
of his meals there and reading and talk
ing with his guests and his family. It is
his favorite spot, the antithesis of restless,
crowded New York. which he regards with
what is becoming aversion, for he says
that he cannot even step on TO the side
walk or look into shop window without
being surrounded by a crowd.
