Following Saturday-Yacht
Trip Planned.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, August IL
President Roosevelt will leave here on
a special train tonight for Harrison
burg. Va, where automobiles will meet
him and his party and carry them to
two or three conservation camps in the
Blue Ridge Mountains before taking
him back to Washington in the late
afternoon.
The President announced today he
would leave the following Saturday
night for his home at Krum Elbow on
the Hudson, where he would remain
until the last day of August, when he
would start back for Washington aboard
the palatial yacht of Vincent Astor.
In announcing his return to WASH
ington aboard Astor's yacht, Nourma-
hal, the one in which he cruised IN
Florida waters Just before the attempt
upon his life in Miami last Winter, the
President said the journey would be
leisurely one. He thought he would be
aboard the yacht four days.
VIII SOUt up IOtVihas.
This handsome sea-going craft will
carry the President up the Potomac
River to the Washington Navy Yard,
unless it is found the channel in that
vicinity is not deep enough. AT this
rate the President expects to be oack
at the White House on Labor day.
He said he has no plans for the
immediate future after returning to
W. hlr than IN CDl-
cago in October TO participate IN the
annual convention of kthe American
Legion. and incidentally, TO take IN
the Century OF Progress.
While revealing his plan to make
this second trip back to Washington
aboard the Nourmahal, the President
spoke with the enthusiasm of lover
of the sea. He said they probably
would loaf along down the coast but
would make no stops. He doubted II he
would indulge in any deep-sea fishing
en- route.
To make this yachting voyage more
ENJOYABLE Mr. Roosevelt will have with
him practically the entire party OF
friends who were aboard the Nour-
mahal last Winter in the Florlaa wa
ters. Besides his close friend and
neighbor. Vincent AStor. owner OF the
Yacht. there will be Kermit Roosevelt,
son of the late President Roosevelt and
a distant cousin of the President;
George St George. Lester Heiter Of Mo-
bile. Ala. and Judge J. Frederic ker-
nochan of New York City.
There will be destroyer assigned to
act as a convoy on this cruise. Aboard
this ship will be most of the members
OF the secret service who accompany
the President.
The wireless equipment OF the Navy
destroyer will be used III receiving and
sending messages While the President
is looking happily forward to this re-
Taxation at sea, he Is mindful of tie
many important matters needing his
constant attention and for that reason
he wants to keep III the closest contact
with Washington.
The Presidents tWo-week stay at his
old home at krum Elbow has been very
beneficial. At least he said today tnat
he never felt better and that, while he
has had to give certain amount OF
attention to matters OF state while up
here, he has had time to rest and re-
lax. He said that his weight is now
about normal, about TIA pounds.
Mr.. Roosevelt is eager to inspect the
conservation camps included IN his visit
to the Blue Ridge Mountains tomorrow.
While discussing the civilian conSerVa-
tion camps today Mr.. Roosevelt said
he and his associates are studying the
problem of handling the various camps
throughout the country during the COM
ing Winter. He said that plans are
under way to move those camps in what
is recognized as the heavy snow areas
to places where the Winters are not SO
rigorous.
Encourage Their Getting Work.
Another problem the President pointed
out is to encourage as many OF the
young men in the camps now TO obtain
employment in their home towns before
Winter arrives.
The President will board his special
train at Highland, across the Hudson
from Hyde Park. This train Will be
operated by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road under the supervision OF Daniel
Moorman, general passenger agent at
Washington, who will accompany the
party to Harrisonburg. The President
will be joined at Harrisonburg, which
will be reached at $50 o'clock tenor
row morning, by Robert Fechner,
director of the civilian conservation
camps who will conduct the inspection
tour of the camps.
