OYSTER BAY, July 7.-Forecasts of to-
days conference at sagamore Hill were
upset by the personnel Of the delegation
which arrived.
Colonel Roosevelt said yesterday that
Senator Beveridge was TO be here, and a
number OF other men who were affiliated
more or less closely with the progressive
movement in the republican party, whose
names he would not divulge.
The impression was that several other
men from tine middle west would be here.
The presence OF three men from New
Hampshire and one from Montana puzzled
political observers.
In particular the visit Of Senator Carter
could not be understood. The senator from
Montana has been one of the right-hand
men of Senator Aldrich and has consistently
opposed the insurgency movements. He
had no word to say when he got here as TO
why he had come to Oyster Bay on this
occasion. 1t was observed, however, that
when the party drove off for Sycamore
Hill Senator Carter was in carriage by
himself.
FOulke First Arripal.
William Dudley Foulke of Indiana came
down from New York last night. Mr..
Foulke was a civil service commissioner by
appointment Of Mr.. Roosevelt, and on sew
eral occasions when the then president
wished to make a public statement Of a
political nature he did so by writing an
open letter to Mr.. Foulke.
| A delegation of visitors to Colonel Roose-
welt arrived from New York on the noon
| train. There were six in the party. two OF
whom were United States Senators Bever-
idge Of Indiana and Carter OF Montana

Robert Bass is an "insurgent'' candidate
for the republican nomination for governor
OF New Hampshire. He and Mr.. Churchill
are TO lay the situation in New Hampshire
before Colonel Roosevelt in an endeavor TO
enlist his sympathy and, II possible, his
support in their contest.
Carter Talks of Interview.
| NEW YORK, July 7.-Senator Carter, on
his return from Sycamore HILL said that
while his visit not political one. he
had given the colonel considerable sinfor-
i nation about the situation in the west.
Il assured him. said Senator Carter
that the alleged divisions in the west were
i greatly exaggerated and that many of us
were trying TO attain the same ends through
different methods.
Senator Carter said he had assured Col
onel Roosevelt that the strength of the in
surgent movement In the northwest had
been overestimated. The senator was asked
il there was any possibility OF a branch
between President Taft and Colonel Roose
welt, and he replied:
II can see no danger of it. Mr.. Roose
Welt Will probably have more OF a soothing
influence than any other"
