Oyster Bay. Jan. 5.--After talk In
New York with James b. Garfield, ex-
secretary of the interior and a leader
of the republican progressives OF Ohio,
ex-Presdent Roosevelt declared to-
night that he had just one thing to
say. II was that he had no intention
of letting the public know what he
thinks of the selection of a candidate
for president. He declared his inten-
tion of bottljng himself UP at Sycamore
Hill and refusing to answer any ques-
tions.
Does that mean that your attitude
will remain riddle from now until
the republican convention is held?" he
was asked.
Colonel Roosevelt refused to commit
himself on that point merely saying
that as far ahead as he could see he
would make no public expression of
his opinion.

at this time was regarded as sig
fnificant because 1t followed 80 closely
