 Looking Forward to the Conference
 To Be Influenced in Action on Mat ters Pending Before Congress Now.

Washington, May 25.-Colonel
 Roosayelt will return to Washington
 tomofrow on one Of the few visits he
 has made since he left the whit | house. He will spend nine hours
 the capital and the plans madeA
 him give promise that he will putN
 n full days work before he leaves a
 midnight for Oyster Bay. The primary object of the cononels ] trip is to deliver lecture before the
 National Georgraphic Society on his South American explorations, but politicians are more interested in the
 conference he will hold just before he leaves with the progressive leaders in congress.
 This conference may develop a plan of action by the progressive party in the coming congressional campaign. If it results in nothing more, the party leaders expect Mir. Roosevelt to show the way in which the Wilson administration can be most simultaneously attacked by campaign orators and in prediction literature.
 Colonel Roosevelt is due in Wash ington from Philadelphia at 3:20 D. m., and expects to go directly to the National Museum to look over speci- mems he procured for that institution on his African hunting trip several years ago Many of these specimens have been mounted since MT. Roose- welt paid his last visit to Washing ton
 From the museum the colonel prob ably will go to the white house 10 pay his respects to President Wilson. He was invited to take luncheon there but was unable to leave Oyster Bay in time to keep a luncheon en- gagement. Next he will go to the home of Senator Lodge, one of his intimate friends, who is giving re- eeption in honor of members of the diplomatic corps.
 The colonel will take dinner at a down town AJtel with officials of the Geographic Society and has no en- agreements until his lectare, which is sceduled to begin at 8 o'clock. The lecture probably will last nearly two hours, and immediately after it's con clusion Colonel Roosevelt will be driven to the progressive party head quarters, where the conference with other party leaders in congress will be held
 Every member of the party in the house who is in Washington is ex- pected to attend. but Senator Clapp will be the only representative from the senate. Senator Poindexter, the | other progressive, Is member of the committee which left today to attend the funeral of the fate Senator Brad ley. He said today that he would see Colonel Roosevelt laater at Oyster Bay
 No definite plans have been made for the conference at party head quarters. The colonel will be told, however, just what success the party has had in attempting to put through it's legislative program at the present session, and each man will outline biit HANPe it ttAltiho arg nCtcsSdIF HI his own district and elsewhere to gain victory in November. The colonel will be advised also of what his supporters in congress be- lieve are the weak spots in the ad- ministration and will be asked to devise methods of attack.
 Reports that Colonel Roosevelt might confere while here with lead CTS of the republican party were not regarded to day as significant. It was recalled that Senators Root. Gallin- ger, Shoot and Warren, four of the most active of ''old gnard'' of the party in the senate, are members of the Bradley funeral committee, and will not be in town tomorrow. Sena- tor Borah speaks at republican gathering in Detroit tonight and will not return in time to see the colonel.
 That Washington outside of poIiti- cal leaders Is greatly interested in |fhe colonel's visit became apparent today when the general public had it's opportunity to obtain seats for the lecture. There was a line two blocks long leaGing np to the home of the Geographic Society. The demand in official circles for seats has been hriuL
