willing for the first time to agree
a comparatively speedy release fro
the hospital.
Colonel Roosevelt wished to lea,
for home Sunday but reluctant
agreed to compromise. 1t We
thought best for him to travel on OF
OF the slower trains, on the theor
that more frequent stops would civ
him occasional periods of rest.
Colonel Roosevelt will travel in
private car, and probably will be III
der the care of DR.. Scurry Terrell
who has accompanied him throughou
his campaign and Dr. Alexander Lam
bert, his family physician. Others i
the party will be Mrs. Roosevelt
Theodore, Jr,, Miss Ethel Phil
Roosevelt, the colonel's young cousin
Elbert II. Martin, the secretary whi
disarmed Col, Roosevelts assailant
John McGrath. another of the Colo
nels secretaries, and Colonel Ceci
Lyon Of Texas. Although Colonc
Roosevelt insists that he will be il
condition to enter the campaign, th,
physicians said he must have a perio:
of absolute rest after he reaches Sag
amore Hill. DR.. Lambert probably
will remain at Oyster Bay for some
time and while the Colonel will be
permitted to consult with progressive
leaders, it has been decided definite
ly that it would not be safe for him
to take the stump again before elec
ton day.
The colonel hopes to make at least
one speech, however, in fulfillment OF
his promises to appear at Madison
Square Garden, New York.
After Governor Johnson had gone,
attendants assisted Colonel Roosevelt
to his feet and he sat in an easy chair
for an hour. He said it rested him
so much and so relieved him from
the monotony of lying in bed, he was
going to ask his physicians to allow
him to repeat it later today.
A man giving his name as Etienne
La Tourelle, came to the hospital
and asked that Colonel Roosevelt be
that he wanted to send
the candidate coat of chain mail
which might be worn under his waist
coat and which would turn a pistol
bullet of ordinary weapons, which
was better than the steel plate the
colonel wears. 1t appeared he had
heard that Colonel Roosevelt always
wore steel plate over his heart and
he wanted to provide better defen-
sive armor.
When informed the steel plate story
was hoax, he appeared disappointed
and left.
WILSON WILL QUIT.
Clarksburg, w. Va, Oct. 1S.-While
Gov. Woodrow Wilson declined again
today to make any comment on Col
Roosevelt's statement declaring that
the democratic nominees ought to
continue stumping regardless of the
attempted assassination, it was an
nounced that he would make no
change in his plans for the remainder
Of the campaign. Governor Wilson is
firm in his intention of closing his
present speaking engagements tomor-
row night when he appears in New
York. The governor reiterated that
ne would do no more speaking until
Colonel Roosevelt was able to speak
again. Big crowds greeted Governor
Wilson everywhere.
