The Social Swims recently in

Of delight are certainly gratifying.

Goes To BOSTON
Roosevelt TO Spend 4 Days
Visiting friends.
WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES
Former President Will Issue State
ment on Monday Defining
His Position as a
Candidate.

New York, Feb. 24-Theodore Roose
Miss Ethel to the dock this morning
where they took a steamer for Pana
ma. The colonel then left for Boston
where he will spend four days.
Colonel Roosevelt said that HIS stay
Ia Boston will be given up to visits to
old friends, who have no connection
with things political. He will also at
tend the meeting of the Harvard over
seers. He will make no public speech
es, but it is considered very unlikely
that his visit will end without his
meeting men prominent in New Eng
land politics.
That the colonel will be unable, even
should he desire to escape entirely
from his boom, is rendered more Ger
tain by the fact that his reply to the
demand of the eight governors for q
definition OF his position as a candi
date Is TO be made public on Monday
Since the colonel told a Cleveland
politician that my hat is in the ring,
interest In his reply to the governor
has, If possible, been more intenss
among his political friends and foe,
than ever. Mr.. Roosevelt has refused
to confirm or deny that figure of chat
lenge, and 1t Is not expected that hi
letter will contain, even in metaphor
so direct an announcement as his can
didacy. But whatever the letter to the
governors contains, it will at least be
the first public word from Mr. Roose
welt himself concerning his boom, ant
1t is remembered that he has said that
when he had an announcement to
make about the 1912 race he would
do so publicly and over my own sig
nature"
Colonel Roosevelt will not return t.
New York until next Wednesday, ant
1t Is possible that the sessions at the
Outlook Office may not reconyene TN
til the following Friday.

chief questions is to pick a manager
for the ante-convention campaign
man large enough to command Ia
respect of the country, and at the same
time an astute politician. Senator
Dixon of Montana is being strongly
urged to take the place. To accept
of course, would mean a lot of hard
work and sacrifice of some Of his sen
atorial duties. He is not eager to take
hold of the job, but may do so.
Affairs at the White House went on
as usual and there was no great in
crease in the number of congl essional
callers in consequence of the an
nouncement of Colonel Roosevelt's
willingness to accept the presidential
nomination.
Secretary of War Stimson was q
caller. Asked what attitude he would
take NTH regard to Colonel Roosevelt
Mr.. Stimson said: II will make my
position perfectly clear in the speech
shall make in Chicago, March s."
Secretary Stimson and Secretary OF
the Navy Meyer both are old political
and personal friends of Colonel Roose
