TRAIN TATE
IN REACHING THIS CITY
Arrives More Than Two Hours
Behind Time, Due Partly
to New Haven Wreck.

Delayed in travel by a leaky engine,
by congestion of traffic due to the
wreck on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad. and by accu-
mulating causes, the special car bear
ing the President back to the national
capital arrived at Union station more
than two hours late.
Secretary Tumulty. in the White
House automobile, met the President
and DR.. Cary T. Grayson, his travel
companion and physician, and took
them to the White House, where they
arrived at 11:45 o'clock this morning.
The Presidents appearance indicated
that he had derived decided benefit
from his four-days' rest and recreation
among the hills Of New Hampshire at
the summer home at Cornish. His step
was springy, his eye bright, and his
smile ready.

The automobile drew up at the ex-
ecutive offices door and the unusual
happened when the President, instead
of going first to the White House, de-
scended from the auto and went direct

arranged by the lateness Of his arrival
and new hours were set for the ex-
pected visitors.

morning train from Avon, N. J., where
his family is passing the summer.

ca rlier in the day the disastrous wreck
of the Bar Harbor express occurred The

form and saw the wreckage being burned
as his train moved slowly BY
