WILL NOT BE INTERVIEWED Politician* Surprised at ths Enthusi* asm Manifested On His Arri val In New* York. | ** New York.—The treaiendo en thusiasm with which former Presi dent Roosevelt was greeted—the fact that there were present in the great crowds which greeted him men from every section of the country— was a surprise to the scores of prominent politicians of all shades of opinion, who had come here to size up the hold Mr. Roosevelt has upon the peo ple. To some it was in the nature of a shock. These had hoped against hope that the power of this man to move the American people had been overestimated. When they heard him cheered as few men have ever been cheerd. by the great multitude* which watched him as he stood in his carriage, hat and hands waving, hi* smiling face agleam with pleasure and good will no doubt was left in the minds of the keenly observant poli ticians that he has lost none of hia hold on the American people and that he Is today the most potent force in American politics. What will he do? That is a ques tion which many an anxious republi can today would give his fortune to have an answer. If Mr. Roosevelt I himself knows he keeps the informa I tion carefully to himself. In reply to urgent questions from newspaper men and politicians he said: ‘T shall have nothing whatever to say in the immediate future about politics and will hold no interview whatever on the subject with any one, and anything purporting to he an interview with me that may ap pear can be set down at once as in vention." Small comfort in that to men | whose political future may hinge oa what the master politicians of the republican party, if not the nation, have to say. In his greeting of political friends. Mr. Roosevelt gave no indication as , to his feeling in regard to the repub lican split. His greeting was as ; cordial to Senator Lodge as to Giffont Pint-hot and not a whit more so. Until the sphinx speaks the riddle will not be solved. In the meantime ; one man's guess is as good as an other's. No group of politicians are more anxious to have Colonel Roosevelt speak than those of New York. That he alone can save the republican par ty from defeat in November is gen erally accepted as a fact by republi can leaders. One thine is certain, Mr Roosevelt will not talk politics if he can avoid ; it until he has had a chance to rest ; up a bit His son's wedding take* place Monday and he is to visit them at their Massachusetts summer home for a short while after that and he will probably be able to avoid poli tics and politicians for a week or two. After that it is likely to be different “Roosevelt's intentions are one thing." said one man who has closely associated with him since he became a dominant figure in politics, "and what he may do may be an entirely different proposition. Undoubtedly the determination to remain quite for several months while he studies the i situation at first hand is very wise. 3ut I think that if he sees that the legislature at the extra session la bent on putting the party into a further hole he will be unable to keep out of the fight. THE BIGGEST TIME EVER. New York Went Wild Over Roose velt'* Return. New York.—As Roosevelt reached home a vaster crowd than ever be fore flowed in New York bay at that time in the morning in the history of those eternal waters, roared at him; a multitude of whistles screamed at him; guns thundered at him; the sun shone for him. Roosevelts reception was in many ways the most a mating tribute which has ever greeted aa American returning from far shores. Grant's greeting was much less dra matic; when the "plumed knight* Blaine sailed in. although a party'* hope hung on him. the bay bore fewer frantic folk; only Dewey* welcome, when, returning from his victories tn warfare, he wae greeted by the army and the navy, as well as the excited people, cxn be compared to tt RooMvelt te Taft. Washington—President Taft ha* received a letter from Theodor* Roosevelt. It bad aa English postage stamp upon it and very likely came on the same steamer with the ex-presi dent. Men who saw Mr. Taft Sun day came away and “In strictest con Adenee" told the secret to other* who, of course, had to hav* discreet easts* ance In keeping It. So it became known all over town At the Whit* House all that could be learned er** that such a letter ha been received. It was merely a friendly missive.
