HYDE PARK, N. Y, August "a
President Roosevelt today was pom
dering over reports and plans deal
ing with the general political situa-
ton brought to him late yesterday
by Chairman Farley of the Demo-
cratic National Committee and group
Of other party leaders.
There is reason to know that Far
ley and the other leaders have map
ped out q final campaign drive. which
plan calls for the President himself
shouldering the major part of the
load of personally carrying out these
plans. During the six weeks inten-
sive campaign, just in advance Of
the election they have planned. Mr..
Roosevelt will conduct the main often
sive.
Much Travelling Planned.
In view OF this arrangement, which
from all indications was agreed to by
the President at his political pow-wow
in the library of his mothers home
here last night, Mr.. Roosevelt will
do considerable travelling and talking
after the first of october. Neither the
President nor any of his associates
will agree that his forthcoming tour
of the drought States has any politi-
cal aspects They Indignantly resent
any reference to politics in connection
with this trip upon which the PreSi-
dent will embark next Tuesday night.
Political Speaking Deferred.
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that he will
engage in no personal campaigning
before october. To a group of news
paper correspondents here he made
it plain that he intends to avoid po-
litical speeches before that time.
Therefore. according to his own def
milton of the words politics" sud
campaigning" nothing he has to say
publicly in advance of that time
should be interpreted by others as
having any political significance. Mr..
Roosevelt does not agree with some
political observers and others, who
contend that it is virtually impossi-
bic for a President, who is cardi-
date to succeed himself, to do any
thing, or say anything, which do not
have some distinct political bearing.
Mr.. Roosevelt's strong feelings in
this matter were impressed upon a
group of newspaper men talking with
him late yesterday, when ne said he
had no campaign plans at this time.
Asked if he did not consider the large
gathering at Charlotte, N. c., which
he is scheduled to address September
10, somewhat in a light of political
rally, inasmuch as this meeting will
be attended by Democrats from five
or six nearby States, Mr.. Roosevelt

commotion as they drove into the
parking lot at the rear Of the Court
House and dashed upstairs in en- ele-
vator which leads directly into the
Jail from police headquarters on the
first floor.
Dash Back to Cells.
Upon hearing the elevator stop at
the cell block, the prisoners dashed
back INTO their cells and offered no
resistance when Nolte and Hover ar
rived on the scene. They were trans
ferred to another cell for safekeeping.
1t was learned that the prisoners
escaped from their cell by picking
the inner half of double lock on the
door, but it was not Immediately

plished. The three iron bars used
by the prisoners in their attack on

Mr.. Pierce said, but with the
number of spawning females he
now has in readiness, additional
equipment will be placed in serv-

Many of the fry, about the size
of large mosquito, or as some
persons say a small long legged
spider, have been released in the
rocks around the boulevard, but
most of them have been placed in
the boulevard swimming pool
which is an admirable place in
which they can grow to a size,
and then be caught and released
in other waters.
