CHAIRMANHAYS
REPORTS VISIT
WITH TEDDY
Also Has Conference with
Hughes and Will
Meet Taft.

New York, Feb. 26.-Col. Roose-
welt is with" the Republican
party. Will H. Hays, the newly
elected chairman of the Republican
committee, mode this announcement
today after spending an hour in
conference with the former Presi-
dent in Roosevelt Hospital. Chair
man Hays declined to divulge any
of the details of his conference with
the Colonel. contenting himself by
stating that they found themselves
in full accord on social and eco
nomic questions and war questions
affecting politics, COL Roosevelt,
he added, was taking hold of pub
lie problems with his old time vigor.
Mr.. Hays later spent sometime
with Charles Z. Hughes.
II am not at liberty to state what
either Col. Roosevelt or Justice
Hughes said to me personally" said
Mr.. Hays. T can say. however,
that 1t was all agreeable. Chiefly

had two delightful visits.
81 was unable to see former
President Taft today but am ar
ranging al appointment to see him
later this week at New Haven. He
sent me a most cordial telegram"
Mr.. Taft's message read: Very
sorry that / can not be In New
York today. Hope to see you soon.
Best wishes and always the best OF
luck
II was especially pleased over my
agreeable disappointment in Col.
Roosevelt's physical condition" said
Mr.. Hays. ~ had got the idea that
/ should find him a pretty sick nan.
But to my surprise he seemed hard
ly to have been sick at all. I found
him in fine shape-the same old
Roosevelt with the same old punch.
He came out of his room and greet
ed me with his old-time vigor."
Mr.. Hays denied that his two
conferences included discussion of
the 1920 Presidential campaign, or
of nominees. Consideration of the
issues of candidates, he declared,
was a matter with which the ma
tional committee should not con-
Germ itself. But when asked wheth-
er Col. Roosevelt, II a candidate,
would be regarded by the commit
tee the same as any other candi-
date. he responded: Absolutely
yes"
This was regarded as official con-
firmation of the report that the
Colonel was. again a fully recog-
nized member Of the Republican
party. Mr.. Hays went to Washing
ton tonight, to return to New York
later in the week for further con-
ference with Republicans OF all de-
Srees of prominence.

PLANTATION. while it is regretted
that these deaths have occurred. il
should be noted that many hundreds
of hitherto inexperienced men have
been learning to fly. Their early
flights are under the guidance of
an instructor and prior to these
flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however. when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every pre-
caution has been taken to reduce
the number of accidents and safe
guard the aviator in his sole flights
Taking into account the ordinary
hazards of their occupation, the de-
lVelopment of a comparatively new
art, and the radio of accidents in
everyday fields of endeavor, it is
felt that the fatality record among
Americas student aviators will
compare favorably with those of
other countries, and. while distress
in, 1t is not discouraging.'
