THE CENTR ROOSEVELT DID NOT SNUB LIPTON His Attitude on Yacht Club Dinner Explained in Official Statement. WHAT SIR THOMAS SAYS Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Presi- dent Roosevelt has approved of the fssuance of a formal statement of the facts concerning the Seawanhaka Co- rinthian Yacht Club dinner incident, which has created so much unpleasant comment. Colgate Hoyt, chairman of tho board of t1stees of the yacht club, visited Oyster Bay and had a conference with the president for half an hour. Mr. Roosevelt expressed regret that any published statement of the dinner in- cident should have placed him in a false attitude, and, with a view to re- lleving Sir Thomas Lipton of embar- rassment because of the statements that he had treated him with discour- tesy, he authorized Mr. Hoyt to make a plain statement of the episode. Mr. Hoyt prepared and issued the fol- lowing: “There has been so much misunder- standing over the proposed annual din- ner of the Seawanhaka Yacht Clud that I teel it my duty ag ghalrman of the board of trustees to state the faets, viz: That the president was invited by me to be the guest of the club at {ta annual banquet, and he accepted with the dis- tinct understanding that it was not to be a large, formal function, but simply the annual banquet of the club for its members and guests. Sir Thomas Lip- ton's name was not mentioned, nor that of any other gentleman, in my interview, and to assure the public that nothing was further from the president's thoughts than to bar Sir Thomas Lipton or any one else from the dinner, I take pleasure in giving to the press the following letter which I have just received from Becretary Loeb: *“ ‘My Dear Mr. Hoyt—Tho president directs me to say that It will be a par- ticular pleasure to him if 8ir Thomas Lipton can come to the Beawanhaka inner. As you will recall, all that the president said when the invitation was extended to him was that he did not feel like accepting any more invitations to formal functions; that if it was si a- ply to be a neighborhood dinner among Seawanhaka | his own friends In the club he would gladly come. The pres- ident has a particularly high regard for Sir Thomas Lipton and a high ap- preciation of the manly and sportsman- | like spirit he has shown throughout the yacht contests. The president earnestly desires that Bir Thomas be present at the dinner. “WILLIAM LOEB, Jr. “ ‘Secretary to the president.'”™ LIPTON WAS NOT INVITED Knows Nothing About Proposed Dine ner of Seawanhaka Yacht Club. Buffalo, Sept. 15.—8ir Thomas Lip- ton passed through Buffalo en 1oute to Chicago, and was sufficlently recovered to see newspaper mon. He was gues- tioned by a reporter regarding the in- vitation he was alleged to have re- ceived from the Beawanhaka-Corinth- fan Yacht ‘lub. “lI do no’ remember having received any invita. on, written or verbal,” said he. “You say It was the Seawanhaka Club. Why, I am a member of that club. And you say Becretary Btewart is alleged to have invited me. Why, I don't remember anything about it I could not have attended the dinner any way, for the reason that I am go- | ing to Chicago, where I have many friends, and where I intend to remain until Monday; consequently I could not possibly attend that dinner on the | 18th.” Bir Thomas added that his {llness did | It was merely a | case of indigestion, and he was much | not amount to much better, he said.

That is when he dances. During warm weather wamen are only too glad to accept the masculine arguments against glove wearing, as many a pair of tanned hands reveals.
