President, Back From Cornish, With Heavy Coat of Tan, Plunges Into Work.
Delayed by slow travel on the New York, New Haven, and Hartford railroad, due to yesterday’s wreck, President Wilson reached Washington this morning about 11:30—two hours behind schedule time.
So anxious was the President to get to his office at the White House that instead of stopping at the mansion to freshen up he ordered the chauffeur to drive directly to the door of the Executive wing of the building.
He wore a heavy coat of tan, and as he alighted from the automobile his cherry greeting to the policemen on guard and his springy step told of the benefit he had received from his brief rest. He was accompanied by Dr. Cary Grayson, USN, the White House physician, and Secret Service men, and wore a white linen suit.
Waiting for him in the outer office was Chairman Underwood of the House Ways and Means Committee, who had arranged to talk with the President regarding the tariff situation.
