from the press of Berlin on the occasion
of this concert, which took place In the
Sing Academy on February 4 1915.

T. R. WILL ACCEPT
Texas Republican Says Colonel
Will Lead Old Party.
Justice Hughes Is Making the
Way Clear for Him.

New York. Feb. 1O.-"CoIoneI
Roosevelt will accept the Republican
nomination for president if it comes
from Republican states"
This declaration was made today by
Col. Cecil a. Lyon. known as the
most patriotic Republican in Texas -
He had just returned from Oyster Bay.
where he held a conference with
Colonel Roosevelt and George w. Per-
kins.
II might add continued Colonel
Lyon. that if the Republicans want
to win. they had better take Roose-
welt. I have visited nearly every state
in the Union since October and have
found the sentiment overwhelmingly
in favor of him.
LAS a friend of Colonel Roosevelt,
have no desire to force the nOmina-
ton upon him. If 1 We're a delegate
to the convention 1 should vote against
his nomination unless he could be as
sured of support from states which
cast Republican electoral votes
Off to Indies.
Colonel Roosevelt sails for the West
Indies on Friday. on his return it is
expected that affairs will have shaped
themselves whereby he will openly de-
clare his candidacy. The fact that
Justice Hughes again forbade the use
of his name. was declared by friends
of Colonel Roosevelt TO make the lat
ter's course practically clear.
An inspired statement issued al
Oyster Bay Wednesday night declared
that Colonel Roosevelt considers it as
practically certain that Justice Hughes
would, by June, completely eliminate
himself as a presidential possibility.
Colonel Roosevelt's friends, ii was
said, have assured him that he alone
can defeat President Wilson and that
he can have the nomination from
both the Republican and Progressive
parties
Colonel Roosevelt will sail on the
steamer Guiana His itinerary will in
Glued St Thomas, St. Croix. st. Kits.
Antigua, Guadalupe, Dominica, Mar
Unique, St. Lucia, Barbardoes and De-
marara. He will be accompanied only
by Mrs. Roosevelt
Reports that William Finn, the
PENNSYLVANIA Progressive leader,
would be in the party are untrue.
Colonel Roosevelt will arrive back in
New York on March 90.
