 T want to tell you newspaper men, ? he said, that it's of no use for you to come up here to see me. will have nothing to say. 1 will answer no Questions, so please don't ask me to. am out of politics"
 If the former president has any plans for the immediate future other than to continue his literary work, he has not made them public. His secretary, John w. McGrath, is expected to ar rive here tomorrow from Chicago with detailed report of the happenings at both the republican and progressive conventions.
 Colonel Roosevelt attended church in the village this morning with Mrs. Roosevelt, but remained in seclusion at Sagamore Hill the rest of the day. The telegraph wires last night and to- day brought a flood of messages to Colonel Roosevelt. It was announced that most of them approved his action In declining to become candidate upon the progressive ticket.
 While Colonel Roosevelt would not discuss the question today, it is con Bidered altogether unlikely that he would reconsider his conditional re- Rusal to head a third ticket. He has not yet made it clear whether or moi be will support the candidacy of Jus ice Hughes.

WOMEN suFFRAeIsTs ARE
 BLOCKING INTO ST. LOUIS
To Insist on an Equal Rights Plank ir,
 the Democratic Platform.


 St. Louis, June 1--Disappointed but not dismayed by the result of their labors at the republican convention. women Suffragists today began pouring into St. Louis to insist on full hecged equal rights plank in the demo- cratic platform
 Regarding their failure to induce the republicans to endorse suffrage by con- stitutionaI amendment as a temporary setback, the suffrage leaders insisted that good might come out of the sit uation. Democratic leaders, they ar gued, should take action to capture tie very large woman vote in the suffrage states.
 A declaration for woman suffrage in the democratic platform, suffrage lead CTS insisted, would mean added thou- sands of votes for President Wilson and the rest of the ticket this fall
 Many political observers predict that inasnuch as the nominations virtually are conceded in tElis convention, the most interesting fight will center 1n the suffrage issue. Peace and prohihI- ton, of course, will attract much atten- ton, but the suffrage leaders insisi That these issues soon will be over snadoWed by the dominating inf1aence of the question of equal rights.
