Il Am Out of Politics" Says Roosevelt,
Crestfallen, Leaving Unanswered the
Query Whether He Will Support Hughes

many hours of sleepless nights spent in
his gun room at the other end Of long
distance wire that ran to Chicago. He
did not show any of his old-time buoy
ancy and cheeriness, none of his i'm
petuous spirit. AS he waved a final
goodbye to the reporters and stopped
a moment to look down toward the bay.
he gave the impression that he was
through fighting, but, then the best of
Col. Roosevelt's friends know that If
the opportunity offers he is likely to swing
back into the fight; and if not for HIM
self. then for somebody else.
Nothing to Say.
What have I got to say?" he asked
before the reporters had a chance to
put the question. Nothing at all. Moth
