PRESIDENT DELAYS
HYDE PARK VISIT
Stack of Bills Forces Him
to Stay Here at Least
Until Saturday.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.


President Roosevelt hopes to close
his desk and leave Washington late
Saturday for a two or three weeks
stay at his Hyde Park home.
The President thus expressed him
self today to newspaper men. He had
planned to get away from Washington
earlier, either tomorrow or Friday
night, but the piling up Of work with
the closing of Congress has made this
impossible.
Even to leave Saturday night Mr.
Roosevelt said he will be compelled
to work at full steam early and late
He mentioned that he was at his desk
as late as / o'clock this morning por-
ing over piles of papers and bills, and
that the prospects are he will be burn
ing the midnight oil each night tht;
week.
Even then these labors will by nc
no means be reduced to such an ex-
tent that his stay at Hyde Park will
be solely for recreation. He feels GER
tain he will be required to cart along
great bundles of papers to dispose OF
while he is in his DutchesS County,
N. Y, estate.
To Sign Neutrality Resolution.
The President expected to sign the
six months neutrality resolution to-
day or tomorrow, describing 1t as en-
tirely satisfactory.
It provides an embargo against
two belligerent nations and, there
fore, is considered by him to meet the
existing situation. BY the time Con-
gress meets again, he said, the situ-
alton would be changed and, there
fore, everything Is all right. He did
express a little disappointment that
the resolution failed to include any
power over loans to warning countries
The President said he also would
sign shortly the Guffey bill to estab.
lsh N. r. A. wage and hour standards
in the bituminous coal industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt still has not decided
how long he will remain at Hyde
Park. He hopes to extend the stay
until the last week in September.
1t is thought likely, however. that
the President will return to Washing
ton not later than September "a
tarrying only one or two days in the
Capital before starting on his jour-
ney to, the San Diego Exposition and
the Boulder Dam dedication.
Must Be Here September "a.
Mr.. Roosevelt's presence in Wash
ington on September "a, Is looked on
as imperative because he was sched-
uled q meeting Of the Works Relief
Allotment Board to give final ap-
proval to the remaining applications
for work relief funds throughout the
country.
In addition, the annual gathering
of the Conference on Human Needs
Is scheduled to meet here at that
time. 1t has been the custom of Mr.
Roosevelt throughout his administra-
ton to address this gathering in the
rear grounds of the White House.
Mr.. Roosevelt probably will leave
for the West before the last of Sep
teniber. After probably a day or two
in, San Diego. he plans a brief visit
at Los Angeles.
His plan now is to return East
aboard naval vessel through the
Panama Canal.
From all appearances. the journey
to the coast will be in the nature OF
a campaign trip, with the Present
making several addresses In addition
to many impromptu rear platform ap-
pearances.
When Mr.. Roosevelt leaves Wash
ington Saturday, his present plans
are such that he will be absent from
the city for the greater part Of the
time between now and the time Con-
gress assemblies again next January.
His itinerary calls for his customary
annual visit to Warm Springs, Ga,
early in November, for q three or
four weeks stay. After q brief visit
to the White House on his return
from Georgia, the President, accord
ing to intimates Of the presidential
family, has some idea Of spending
Christmas with his family at the
Roosevelt ancestral home on the Hud-
son. However, this - too far away
