ROOSEVELT PLANS
WEEKEND CRUISE
President May Board Two
Masted Schooner During
Chesapeake Trip.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt plans to leave
Washington this afternoon to spend
the week end cruising about Chesa-
peake Bay.
If the weather is favorable, the
President will try his hand at sailing
on the Chesapeake for the first time
aboard the Savanna, the 5O-foot, two
masted schooner yacht in which he
sailed up the Atlantic coast last
Summer. The craft has been char
tered by James Roosevelt, who brought
it down to Annapolis yesterday from
Boston.
1t is expected that the President will
transfer from. the presidential yacht
Potomac, which he will board at
Annapolis this afternoon, to the Sc
wanna at some point out on the Bay
and indulge in his favorite sport of
handling the wheel and being skipper
OF his sailing craft. Because of the
more convenient sleeping accommo-
dations it is expected the President
will spend tonight and tomorrow night
aboard the yacht Potomac According
to his present arrangements the Presi-
dent will dock at Annapolis late
Sunday afternoon and motor back to
Washington about dark.
President Roosevelt will take a small
group Of friends with him on this
trip, including Attorney General Cum
mings, Secretary OF Agriculture Wal
lace and Mrs. Wallace, Miss Mar
guerite Leland, the presidents private
secretary, and James Roosevelt.
The President announced at his
press conference that he expects per-
sonally to visit the Boy Scout camp
sometime during the forthcoming
jamboree.
The President also announced that
he expects shortly to NIL the two
existing vacancies on the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the one
existing vacancy on the Federal Com
munications Commission.
There is some likelihood that Mr..
Roosevelt will arrange cruise aboard
the Savanna, up the Atlantic Coast
this Summer as far as his mothers
home at Csmpobello at New Bruins
wick, Canada. However, there Is
nothing definite arranged yet.
