MECCA FOR
INSURGENTS


more insurgents, whose identity is
shrouded in the mystery which has
become a new feature at Sycamore
Hill, will today confer with Colonel
Roosevelt. While admitting that they
are expected, the former president re-
fuses to tell anything about the pur-
pose of their visit. He also refuses to
render his verdict upon the Taft adj
ministration and has even refused to
roar at the New York state legislature
because 1t refused to do his bidding,
but that he is smarting under the re.
buff given him Is shown in his angry
reply to a question as to what he In
tended to do about 1t. ITS not my
way to talk about things" he said.
"You know me l strike. / act and
don't waste time talking"
The colonel had a few things to say
in regard to Governor Hughes. While
he was most emphatic In his desire to
refrain from discussing the action of
the legislature In defeating the Cobb
ious to explain about the telegram he
sent the county chairman, Lloyd @.
Griscom. He did not send 1t of his
accord, said Colonel Roosevelt.
The ex-president told the newspaper
men who accompanied him on the
train from Boston that the stories of
his talking politics with Governor
Hughes during the academic process
sion in the Harvard yard were exag-
gerated. He didn't breach politics un-
til they were in Sanders theater, q
few minutes later.
Il did not intend to interfere In any
way" said the colonel in no uncertain
manner. while / was shocked to
learn that Governor Hughes had ac-
cepted an appointment to the supreme
court bench, just as / was when Elihu
Root left the cabinet to become a sena-
tor, / did not ask Hughes to resign
after he had accepted his place on the
bench. However, / have always held
a very high regard for Hughes, and l
believe that he would undoubtedly
have been elected for a third term had
he chosen to remain In state politics"
Then Mr.. Roosevelt went on to tell
how the governor had requested him
to make some definite announcement
concerning direct primary legislation
Governor Hughes feared that IL the
colonel remained silent on the dues-
ton the silence might be construed
as opposition. 1t was because of this
advice that Colonel Roosevelt wired
his Endorsement of the now beaten
Cobb bill. ~

Airy reason to believe that he Is not
through with the fight. He has set the
ball a-rolling in this state, and the i'm
preston Is that he will follow UP just
as ne is going to do in national poll
tics. Naturally he was not pleased at
the result of his first political move
since his return. Governor Hughes
win come to Sagamere Hill within the
next few days, Mr.. Roosevelt thought,
but the exact day he doesn't know
even now.
1t has been asserted a good many
times during the past week that the
ex-president has not yet taken any
stand regarding the administration.
He said that he was feeling his way,
hadn't had an opportunity to get a
line on things. Politicians thought
that after his visit to Beverly the col

~ can only repeat" he said, that
/ spent a very pleasant two hours and
a half with President Taft. Most of
that time we just greeted one another.

The colonel said that any news OF
the conference must come from Presl
| dent Taft and not from him. That
would not be diplomatic on the colo.
nei's part When he was in the White
House himself Colonel Roosevelt was
frequently annoyed by visitors tell,
in things that they should not have
divulged, so he isn't going to place
himself iF that category.
A ford gentleman wearing a red
necktie and a suit of gray approached
Colonel Roosevelt and asked him II he

exclaimed Mr.. Roosevelt angrily. "It's
too foolish to answer. How do suct
