Roosevelt Leaves For Chicago Con-

OYSTER BAY, Aug. "a long
horse back ride and several strenuous

negro republicans out of the progress,

CLEARING THE WAY

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l I
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Adjourn-
ment of the present session of con-
gress on August II, was the date ten
tatively set by leaders OF both houses
tonight. Postponement Of the Arch
bald impeachment trial until Decem-
ber 3 and the disposition exhibited in
the senate to hurry business along,
were taken as clearing the way for a
windup. The upper house today not
only deferred the trial, but adopted a
compromise on the steel tariff revi-
sion bill, which is certain to send the
measure forthwith to the white
house. The house concurred in the
conference report on the wool bill
which will be adopted by the senate
Monday, and sent to Taft.
It was intimated at the white house
tonight that the president would veto
the legislative, executive and judicial
bill, if it fails to make provision for
continuance of the commerce court
The compromise agreed to by the
senate, retaining the judges on the
pay rool as circuit judges, but abol-
ishing the court, Is not acceptable to
1 the white house. The executive
might not object to a separate bill
doing away with the tribunal, but he
4 is against legislation of a general
character. inserted in strictly appro
priation bills. Acting on this hint, 1
was believed leaders will put through
a separate bill abolishing the court
and eliminate the whole question
from the budget measure
4 1t was generally understood thai
4 Taft would veto all tariff Legislation
even including the wool bill, the du
ties in which do not vary more thar
fractionally from those recommended
by the tariff board. The presidents
attitude, however, is that the LaFol
lette bill was not actually modelled
on the boards report and since hi
has vetoed other bills because of thi'
fact, he must be consistent with thu
wool bill

est Noise or Creating
Any Buster.
POLITICIANS GUESSING
Trying to Figure Out the Reason
Why Veil Of Secrecy and
Mystery Should be
Spread.

United Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Aug. 3-The real, big
reason for Governor Woodrow Will
sons remarkable trip to New York
was Just as much mystery tonight
after his unostentatious arrival in the
city, and his long, secret confer
ences with Chairman William F. Nc
Combs, Of the democratic national
committee as it was when the nomi-
nee threw bomb into his political
campaign with his casual announce.
ment that he would come here.
Governor Wilson's determination
that the conference should be secret.
even as to the place where it was
held, the fact that he came alone,
not even being accompanied by his
confidential secretary, and that he OBJ
jected strenuously to having tho
newspapers know of his departure,
his destination or his whereabouts,
threw additional mystery about the
event .S
All the candidate would say was
said at Sea Girt before he left. He
asserted that of his own violition he
was coming to New York to meet
Chairman McCombs, for the purpose
Of going over with him details of or
ganization and campaign plans. He re-
iterated his denial that there was any
friction OF serious differences OF
opinion among members OF the COM
mittee. He said he came to New
York merely because he preferred To
come, instead OF receiving Chairman
McCombs at Sea Girt.
Further evidence of the unusual
Importance of his visit and its prob
able vital bearing on his candidacy
for president was offered by Governor
Wilson'S declaration that he expected
to see no one but McCombs and that
ne would not be accessible after his
arrival in New York.
He said 1t would be useless to at
tempt to communicate with him to
night, as he could not be reached b,
ANYBODY, and would have nothing t
say of the results of his conference
with the committee chairman until hi
return to Sea Girt which also was un
certain. 1t may be Sunday night am
It may be Monday morning.
When he arrived in the city, Cover
nor Wilson made his way alone an
practically unobserved to a privat
club, where he was as safe from in
trusion as he would have been in o.
airship. The club orGcials had IN
