| President Roosevelt announced today that
Lloyd G. Griscom, chairman OF the New
York Republican county committee. VIII
come to Sycamore Hill tomorrow for a
conference. Mr.. GAscom spent last night
with President Taft at Beverly, although
Colonel Roosevelt would not say that MIR.
Griscom Will come to Sycamore Hill az
the bearer Of an important message from
President Taft The conference, there
fore, will be OF more than usual import
ance. 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 dis
patches from Beverly intimating that the
president Is expecting Secretary Ballinger
to resign and that Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon In the future are TO be
in less direct contact with the admins
trauon, He refused TO give his views
on this subject or to say whether the
message which Mr.. Griscom bears con-
stitutes another step In the administra-
tlon'S programme for read1usting condl-
tions within the party.
IT is believed here, however that ms
a result of Mr.. Griscom's visit the exact
relations between the president and the
ex- resident will DC more clearly defined.
though no public announcement be made.
Since Colonel Roosevelts return from
Africa he has rcsolutely avoided placing
himself on record in regard TO the Taft
administration. He has seen the presi-
dent only once and then nor n com
paratvcly short time. during his visit
to Boston for the Harvard commence
mcnt. So far as known no messages have
passed between them since that time and
II is believed President Taft desires to
| ascertain where his predecessor stands,
particularly in view OF the national cam
paign which is soon TO get under way
Starts West Tuesday.
Colonel RoosevelCs western trip is TO
start on Tuesday of next week. Dur
ing the trip it is expected that he Will
place himself on record in regard TO a
number of matters Of great interest TO
the country and TO the Republican party.
One of them will be the conservation OF
natural resources.
While 1t is believed Colonel Roose-
welt will not have ono word of criticism
Of the administration IN any OF these
speeches. there is good ground for the
| assumption that he will not depart from
the vigorous stand for conservation which
he assumed while he WAS president.
