Announcement that young Col
Roosevelt is coming home from the
Philippines to take the stump for Hoo
yer and against Gov. Roosevelt is I'M
derstood to be the result Of decision
on the part of the real Roosevelt fam
| lily" to leave no stone unturned to en-
compass Cousin Franks" defeat
! Throughout the Governors pre-conven-
| ton drive for the nomination "the real
RooseveltS" left little doubt that they
resented his so-called trading" on the
| family name. Since Chicago their irri-
! tation has reached the boiling point. To
this observer comes word that some OF
| them-women folk for the most part
may seize the occasion of President Hoo
verS acceptance ceremony at Washing
ton on August IL to signaliZe in dra-
matte fashion their antipathy to their
remote relations aspiration to be the
second member of the tribe to inhabit
the White House. The family feud has
lost none of its acerbity from the cir
| cunstanceS that several members
| of the late Theodore Roosevelt'S
own immediate household have re-
ceived letters of congratulation on
| Franklin DIS conquest of the Demo-
FGratic standard-bearership. Mrs. T
| Douglas Robinson, the late President
Roosevelt's sister, has publicly dis
avoWed Mrs. Charles H. Sabin'S attempt
to hand her and other members of the
Women's Prohibition Reform organiza-
ton over to the Democrats.
While President Hoover and Gov
Roosevelt are engroSSed in the prelimi-
nary skirmishing Of the campaign, theil
