OYSTER BAY. n. V, June 27.--Dr. Alex
tnder Lambert. the Roosevelt family ply
teisn. has ordered Col. Roosevelt to take
four months rest and drop all his politi-
cal activities. But, as the Colonel said
later to newspaper men. Brethren, you
can see yourselves that such a course Is
absolutely out OF the question. 1t can't be
done. | may try to ease up for a W.. =,
yes bu, as for stopping absolutely" here
IN. Colonel clicked his teeth by way of
emphatic exclamation, and grinning said.
Impossible"
Dr. Lambert came from New YORK and
pave Mr.. Roosevelt a thorough physical
examination. He found the Colonel Is 4
chuck full Of malaria and he has an en-
la'ged spleen. The enlarged spleen. DR..
lambert said, is the usual thing after
malaria.
Mr.. Roosevelt was advised to omit his
scheduled address before the Pennsylvania
rtogressives at Pittsburg on Tuesday. but
he fatty declined 10 do so. saying AZ. Jnge-
mcnts had gone too far. He did, however.
send telegram to the committee In
charge Of the meeting there TIA, he would
not address an overflow meeting, as had
been planned, and would limit himself to
the one address In Exposition Hall
Cancels California Trip.
And then. though with evident reluc-
,4nce. he wired the Progressive leaders
ia California about his physical condi-
ton and asked to be excused from his
' promised trip TO that State during the
fall campaign The answer came back
that the Progresslves in California would
try to make their fight alone.
This means that Mr.. Roosevelt will
not make another big swing across the
continent as he did in 1912 and as he had
planned to do this fail He has been send
ing out kilograms to-day cancelling tenta-
tive speaking arrangements in many parts
OF the country, and II is likely that he
VII not try to go further west than thu
Mississippi.
His political speaking, he says. will be
cut down to the bone. He will take a
trip through most OF the Eastern and
middle Western States but his stopping
points viii be few and his speeches will
rot be IF the voluminous length that
they nee were. Furthermore. there will
f, he no carttail speech making and the
train that carries the Colonel on his
political campaign will make long Jumps
After his Pittsburg speech. he said to-
day he is going to remain at Oyster Bay
and do his political work from the from
reranda Of Sycamore I'm. the Roosevelt
ostatc Here he will receive his leaders
make out his statements. give his inter
views and generally direct the destiny o.
the Bull Moose party.
Mr. Roosevelt seemed inclined to thinl
that DR.. Lambert had taken a somewha
gloomy view" of his case. lie does no
believe II will require anything like fou
months for him to overcome the malarif
trouble.
"I'Ii Get WELL" lie Says.
''Tll get we'll, all right" he said, "ncve
fcar about that"
H. said that most Of his conference
at Sycamore Hin would be by appoint
lnent for the next few weeks and tina
they would be as limited as possible
Meantime he will leave the Progressive
national committeeman and the chairmei
of the various States to manage their owl
affairs, he himself devotng most OF tn,
time he gives to politics to New Yorl
State.
II Is believed here that DIR. Lambert
verdict on the state OF Col. Roosevelt
health will he powerful factor in dis
suadlng the New York State leaders fror
trying to force him into the Gubernatoria
fight. Already his physicians hav
strongly advised against his adoption OF
course that would make such strenuou
demands on his strength. Unless his RI
covery should be completed with uneS
peeted speed there Is little chance tina
they would give their consent to his run
ming for Governor.
When Mr. Roosevelt saw the newspape
m'n this evening he said that one OF hi
callers Of the day. Senator Clapp OF Mir
h''oid, had told him that the general bus
Ne depression in the country "is due
tn" Wilson policies, which are destru'
tive"

asked TO have them withheld.
