ROOSEVELT READY TO BACK
GEN. WOOD FOR PRESIDENCY

NEW YORK, June 6.--That Theodore
Roosevelt will support General Leonard
Wood for the Republican nomination If his
name comes seriously before the convention
was the news that reached here today from
Oyster Bay. 1t came from two of the Colo
ners visitors. He made the statement to
them, they said, in the course of a general
conversation.
According to the visitors who asked that
their names be withheld Roosevelt believes
General Wood a man eminently fitted for
the labors that will devolve upon the next
President of the United States. The Colo
nel's visitors said in the event of the
nomination of Wood he would have the con-
tinued aid and ardent support of Roosevelt
Their conversation did not indicate that
the Colonel will jump out in the support of
Wood Immediately, but rather that if the
convention balloting drags and Wood
climbs up in the list Roosevelt would then
hurl his entire strength into the Wood
camp in an effort to jam him through.
Roosevelt declined to say a word on the
speech of Supreme Court Justice Hughes.
After receiving his visitors at Oyster Bay
Roosevelt came to New York, going first to
to his dentist. This afternoon he was in
his offices at the Metropolitan Magazine
and also went to the Harvard Club to see
friends on business, but not on political
business
Until this morning Colonel Roosevelt had
been at the telephone line almost constantly
