ROOSEVELT GUEST
AT SECRET FEAST
I Ex-Judge Gary Is Host; Hint
of Political Signifi
cance
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Dec. 20. Despite at
tempts to keep the knowledge secret,
iit was learned that Colonel Theo
j dore Roosevelt was chief guest at a
I donner last week at the home of ex
! Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the
' Steel Trust, at his home, 856 Fifth
! avenue. Many persons high up in
! financial affairs were present. Al
| though the majority present were Re
| publicans, several were prominent
j Democrats, and there were a few
! progressives.
When the news of the dinner leaked
out those who attended were reticent
about it. There was a rumor that
the dinner was held for purely polti
cal purposes, and that the possibility
of Colonel Roosevelt becoming the
candidate of the Republican party for
the presidential nomination next
year was discussed. When Colonel
Roosevelt was reached through his
secretary, John McGrath, all he would
say was htat he was at the dinner, but
did not cure to discuss what had taken
place.
Among those present at the dinner
besides Mr. Gary and Mr. Roosevelt,
were August Belmont, Jacob H. Schiff,
George F. Baker, R, Livingston
Beeckman, Republican Governor of
Rhode Island; Medill McCormick, of
Chicago, former Bull Moose leader
of Illinois, who has gone over to the
Republican party; George W. Per
kins, chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the National Progressive
party; A. Barton Hepburn, Frank A.
Vanderlip, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Frederick W. Whiteridge. Frank T.
Kellogg, of St. Paul; Daniel Guggen
heim, C. A. Coffin, Henry Walter,
Richard V. Lindabury, E. C. Con
verse, Clarence Mackay and George
B. Cortelyou.
When Mr. Gary was asked if he
cared to say anything about the din
ner he replied;
"I don't care to say anything about
it. It was purely a private affair."
It was learned that Governor
Beeckman, of Rhode Island, had a
conference with Colonel Roosevelt
recently. It was said the Governor
told the Colonel that he favored his
nomination by the Republican party.
It is also known that Medill McCor
mick and Theodore Douglas Robin
son, the Colonel's nephew, who has
also returned to the Republican fold,
had a conference with the Colonel at
his office at the Metropolitan Maga
zine.

He Is quoted as saying he would not
be at all surprised If a republic should
follow from the Inevitable social and
political upheaval which every one
recognizes must follow the war.
Asked what he would do If the
monarchy went by the board, the
Prince replied that for his own part he
was perfectly prepared to become a
motor mechanic and go into the auto
mobile business. He suggested that
his brother, Prince Henry, should be
come a carpenter, the King a master
mariner and Princess Mary-of-all
trades a horse breaker.
King Edward, discussing a similar
possibility, once declared that ho
would ask Sir Thomas Upton to tako
him into partnership.
