President Wilson returned this morning from his brief vacation at Cornish, NH his summer home. No crisis in Mexican affairs or other necessity occasioned his return, but it was his announced purpose when he left the White House Thursday afternoon to be back at his desk this morning. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his physician and usual travel companion, returned with him. The secret service officers and newpapermen who had made the trip with the President reached the White House a few minutes later.
All report an exceedingly cold outing. Yesterday morning the thermometer registered twenty degrees above zero in New Hampshire, and blazing wood fires were the order of the day. The pleasure of the trip was largely interfered with by the cold.
Tumulty Still Absent.
Secretary Tumulty, who started from Washington with the President, and who turned off at Beverly to go to Boston, has not yet returned. He will be away for several days. Leaving Boston Sunday, Mr. Tumulty went to Avon, NJ, where he joined his family. Dudley Field Malone, third secretary of state, who accompanied Secretary Tumulty to Boston, got back to Washington this morning.
The settlement of difficulties over the selection of a collector for the port of Boston is supposed to have been the mission intrusted to both Mr. Malone and Mr. Tumulty. A previous visit to Boston by Mr. Malone is said to have had the same purpose.
Confers With Secretary Bryan.
Following the visit of the delegates to the international congress of refrigeration, the President was closeted with his Secretary of State. Assistant Secretary Malone followed Secretary Bryan to the executive offices. It is supposed the Mexican situation occupied their attention.
Attorney General McReynolds had luncheon with the President. He had a number of prospective appointments to discuss and had not had an opportunity to see the President for ten days.
