Secretary Hughes Is coming back
sooner than had been expected. He and
Mrs. Hughes decided not to walt to re-
turn with the official party on the Pan
American, but are making the return
journey on the Maryland, sailing about
a week earlier-and should get here
next week. The campaign does not
account for Secretary Hughes's change
of plan. He Is not likely TO plunge into
that very deeply. AS some one said
when shortly before their departure
Carmi Thompson and Representative
Fess were reported as having been at the
White House to enlist the Presidents aid
In getting a "key-noter' of national Inn
portance TO make the big speech of the
Republican State Convention In Ohio
and thought Hughes would about do
that: They're not likely to get
Hughes--hes out OF politics now. and Is
building himself a permanent reputation
as statesman"
Secretary Mellon and Secretary Weeks
are still taking their vacations piece
meai-rather extenoed weekends with
their families up in New England-but
possibly Secretary Weeks will get up to
Lancaster for little longer stay than
he has as yet enjoyed. There Is no
present indication of Mrs. Weeks return
ing to Washington. Secretary Weeks is
not particularly polite politician. and
Mrs. Weeks. notoriously. would like him
to get out OF II all. Neither OF them are
In very good health and certainly will
not re-establsh their Washington me-
mage until well into October.
Secretary Mellon Is spending the week
ends-froin Friday evening till Tuesday
morning-at Pride's Crossing with Miss
Mellon and Mr.. Paul Mellon. his daugh-
ter and his schoolboy son. Secretary
Mellon may be extremely useful IN a
campaign but not as an orator. Oratory
is not in the least in .his line--except
as money talSs-and present efforts
seem to be rather directed to keep
money from tallSing--out loud at least
in the campaign. Mr.. Mellon Is tenn
porarily living at 1902 Eighteenth street.
about a block away from his apartment
at 1885 Massachusetts avenue-when he
Is In Washington. They are redecorat-
ing at 1855. and Secretary Mellon has
taken Mrs. Roscoe Bulmer's apartment
for few weeks TO get away from the
smell Of paint and paste and damp
paper. Miss Mellon Is not likely to be
back In Washington for some weeks yet.
Back in the Capital.
Secretary DENLY is of course. back
very much so. He dropped Mrs. DENLY
and children at their Detroit home on
his way across the continent last week,
but they will follow him soon. for Mrs.
DENLY is expected to be back In theff
home on r street by the first of October.
Their nearest Cabinet neighbors. Secre-
tary and Mrs. Hoover. haven't closed
their house at all this summer. Secre-
tary Hoover and Secretary Davis have
been the hardest woyked men in the
Cabinet this summer and have been
coming and going SO fast that no one
could keep up with them. Mrs. Davis
has. of course, beep out at Mooseheart
all summer. with her three babies. Mrs
