His physicians told him that probably
he could leave for Oyster Bay on Mon

made up his mind that he would go on
the earliest train on Monday which would
suit his purposes.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke OF the visit Of

mate who spent short time with him
this afternoon.
"Wo discussed the social and Industrial
planks of the platform he said and

HEAVY FIGHTING

CoNsTANTINOPLE, Oct. 1S.-Heavy
fighting is reported TO have been in
progress throughout the day in the re-

engaged on both sides.
The departure from Constantinople to-
day OF the Balkan ministers was not
attended by any hostile demonstration.

NJ. Gryparis, the Greek minister. en-
barked on steamers bound respectively
for Varna and Piraeus, while DR. j.

With the exception OF few windows
being broken during the departure OF
the ministers, no other disagrccable in
cident Is reported Thousands OF Greeks
and other prospective combatants of
the Turks were permitted to depart 20
join their forces, but their leaving
brought forth no unfriendly manifesto
tion.
Doubt prevailed up to the last moment
whether Greece finally would throw in
her lot with her Balkan allies, Il is
an uDouestionablc fact that the Turk
ish government made serious efforts to
have Greece withdraw her allegiance
TO the confederation. It seems probable
that Turkey was prompted chiefly by a
desire 10 gain time in view Of the SUI
periority Of the Greek fleet in the Aegean
sea. Turkey at the last moment offered
10 send a new minister to Athcns-one
more acceptable than Mukhtar Bcy-
but this effort proved futile.
