The Impression grew, today, that Col.
| Roosevelt would be able to do little or
nothing more in the campaign. AL
though he expressed the hope of
| leaving Oyster Bay. on Sunday, it is
probable he will be compelled to re-
main in the hospital for at least a
week longer, and that after his arrival
at home he will not be permitted to
plunge into the campaign again.
Associates of Col. Roosevelt said
that while he was deeply disappoint-
ed at being obliged to leave the fight.
during the closing weeks, when it
was To be harCest be was showing
no concern rs to the possible effect of
his removal from the field of battle
1t is Col. ioosevelt's sire to make
at least one more speech before cleo
ton day and that IN his own state of
New York if he can do nothing else
he hopes to speak in Madison Square
Garden. There was little in the ap-
pearance of Col. Roosevelt to indicate
thai he Was not in his usual health.
His face has not lost its color, and
as he sat propped up with pillows he
moved about easily and apparently
was free from pain, As he talked he
used his characteristic gestures, al
though with perhaps less vigor than
is usual with him, and at times his
laugh could be heard in the corridor
outside. He seemed to enjoy his re-
lief from the cares of politics and APP
peared determined to make his stay in
the hospital an enjoyable vacation. His
three children who are in Chicago
dropped in to see him three times dur
ing the day, talking for a half hour
each time. Mrs. Roosevelt would not
permit them TO remain longer lest her
husband tire himself
Once during the afternoon Mrs.
Roosevelt found O. X. Davis, secretary
OF the Progressive National commit
tee. in Col. Roosevelts room. He re-
NAMED there only few seconds aft
er the appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt,
who without debate exiled him to the
corridor.
Former Health Commissioner w. A.
Evans of Chicago and Mrs. Evans
brought Col Roosevelt package of
books after he took his afternoon nap.
In the parcel were several the patient
asked for.
II want them by me- he said, so
that if | can beguile Mrs. Roosevelt
into giving me a chance tonight !
may look them over before going to
sleep"
Among the senders of kilograms re-
celved by Col. Roosevelt during the
day were the King of England, the
Emperor of Germany and the King of
Denmark.
Col. Roosevelts old friend, Father
Curran of Wilkesbarre, Pa, arrived
at the hospital late today, having come
from Battle Creek, Mich. Col. Roose-
welt talked with him for quarter OF
an hour.
Chicago. Oct. 16.-Dr Alexander
