HYDE PARK, N. Y, September 2
Cold gray skies, and chill in the
air, strongly suggestive Of Autumn,
greeted President Roosevelt on his
first morning back at his mothers
Hyde Park Home. where he expects
TO remain for possibly the next three
weeks.
The President, his face beaming in
anticipation, went to his old, paper
Uttered desk in his cubby-hole study
on the ground floor Of the rambling
mansion, to give his attention to
work, he intimated, however, that he
would do some loaflng this afternoon
Much to Be Done.
While he came here for a well
earned but long-delayed Summer
vacation. Mr.. Roosevelt brought along
enough business papers to keep him
busy for at least q half Of each day
of his stay. Judging from the port
folios and boxes taken from the
baggage car of his special train which
brought him here from Washington
Mr.. Roosevelt has merely changed
the scene Of his labors.
In addition, a temporary executive
office has been set up at the Nelson
Hotel, in Poughkeepsie, five miles
away. with a skeleton work force in
charge Of Stephen Early Of the White
House secretariat. Moreover, the
President, while here, will, as usual,
be in constant touch with the execu-
tive Office back in Washington, as
well as the various department heads,
by means of direct telephone and
telegraph lines. Each day an Army
airplane will land near here with a
mail pouch for the President.
Rises Later Than Usual.
Mr.. Roosevelt remained abed this
morning longer than customary back
in Washington. After breakfast he
sat for a while in the large, cozy
library chatting with members Of his
family and Or. Rexford Tugwell,
Under Secretary Of Agriculture. and
director of resettlement, who accom-
panied him on the journey from the
Capital, and Mrs. Tugwell, who has
been here several days as the guest
of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt had made elaborate
plans for observing Labor day, but
these were Cancelled when 1t was
decided that she personally represent
the President at the funeral Of Mrs
Harold Ickes the wife of the Secre-
tary Of Interior to be held tomorrow
In Chicago
Mrs. Roosevelt's plans for cele-
brating the holiday were to have been
featured with picnic at the Val Kill
estate, where are located Mrs. Roose-
velt's furniture factory, and the
Presidents swimming pool.
Welcoming Crowd Small.
AS usual upon President Roosevelt's S
return to Dutchess County, there was
only a handful Of natives on hand to
greet him when he aliehted from his
special train yesterday morning.
Eighteen persons, besides station at
tendants, were suficiently interested
to 60 to the station. At the foot Of
the front steps Of his home stood Mrs
Roosevelt and Mrs. James Roosevelt,
the Presidents Sl-year-old mother.
No doubt the latter will lose no time
giving 4 detail account Of the Dutch
ess County Fair which Just closed
Saturday. which the President was
unable to attend. Mrs. Roosevelt,
ST.. always has some products from
her farm on exhibition and gives a
trophy for one of the saddle horse
events. Also. some Of the Roosevelt
children always ride. This year John,
the youngest Of the Roosevelt boys,
rode and Mrs. Roosevelt, ST.. served
as judge in baby contest. The
President was able to attend the fair
last Summer and the Summer before.
Estate Is Inspected.
The President yesterday afternoon
drove over the estate inspecting the
fields and the stock and the trees.
He said he probably would make an
other inspection trip this afternoon.
He is especially interested in the herd
Of II Holsteins, milk from which Is
sold to q nearby creamery.
Mr.. Roosevelt disposed Of all the
really important acts of Congress be-
fore he left washington, but there
still remain q large number of bills
passed during the closing days of the
Congress which must be acted upon
shortly. These he brought along with
him, and q number, mostly personal
relief bills. will receive his veto. Mr..
Roosevelt has followed the custom of
accompanying each veto with q mes
sage explaining.
Before her departure today for Chi
cago. Mrs. Roosevelt was the recipient
Of large basket of flowers sent to
her by the International Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association, in
session in Pittsburgh, Pa.
