President Declines
To Comment on Speech
Of Colonel Roosevelt

SOUTH ORANGE. N. j., April ~
Tired completely with his exertions OF
the last few days, President Taft slept
rather late today at the home of Clar-
enCe H. Kelsey here. At breakfast he
looked over the morning papers and
read with some care Colonel Roose-
velts Worcester speech, but refused to
comment on 1t at this time. 1t was ex-
pected. however. that he would have
something to say in answer, either at
Trenton, where he was to speak this
afternoon, or at Philadelphia, where he
will make an address.
After breakfast the President went
across to the South Orange Country
Club. where he planned to go over the
links for his second golf game of the
year. He was accompanied to the club
by Henry Stiles and his new military
aide, Major Rhodes.
Optimistic for Bay State.
The President positively declared to
his friends today that he was well
pleased with the outlook In Massa-
chusetts. He declared, 1t was reported,
that he believed there was little chance
of Colonel Roosevelt getting any Of the
delegates from the Bay State, but that
he was going back on Monday in order
to make his expected victory there most
complete.
Taft has been warned by his friends
that defeat In Massachusetts in the
present temper Of the country would as
suredly mean his complete defeat for
the nomination. Because OF that he
will continue his attacks on the
Roosevelt policies, and 1t was quietly
stated among the members of the party
today that In his speeches in the mill
districts OF Massachusetts on next Mon
day he will explode a second broadside
that will prove effective to the organi-
cation In Tuesdays primaries.
Motor to Philadelphia.
The President planned to make the
trip from here to Trenton in an auto
mobile, although his private car was
| held at Newark to be used in case of
| a heavy rain. He expected to stay in
| Trenton about two hours, after which
he intended to proceed to Philadelphia
| The First Troop of Cavalry, of Phila-
| delphia, was scheduled to act as his
personal escort while in the Quaker
| City, and was to accompany him from
| the railway station to the Union League
Club.
The President expected to get to the
White House in time for breakfast to-
morrow, but planned to stay there only
| until the afternoon, when he would, II
the arranged program was adhered to-
| return to Massachusetts for Monday
He will get back to Washington Tues
day noon, and about mid-afternoon will
start for Savannah, Ga.

A second transport to rescue the en-
dangered Americans along the east
coast of Mexico will probably be sent
out by the War Department Orders
have already been issued for the trans
port Buford, at present at San Fran
cisco, to make a similar cruise along

The probability that second trans-
port will be sent is based on messages
from the state of Vera Cruz that many
Americans are there in want and unable
to make their escape. The Red Cross
lieve the condition of these refugees by
sending money for their use. but the
amount was not sufficient to enable
them to pay for their passage back to
the United States.
An unofficial statement made at the
State Department this morning was to
the effect that the Buford would not
conf1ne itself to savings Americans
alone, but would also furnish oppor-
tunity for escape to such other for
eigners as may apply for passage
Assistant Secretary Of State Hunting
ton Wilson stated. IN this connection,
that he had received no official infor..
