— - - ROOSEVELT SPLIT | ARED BY ELLIOTT Says Mrs. Theodore Told Him Introduction Would “Embarrass” Her. BY the Assoclated Press. DALLAS, Tex., November 11.—El- liott Roosevelt, strapping son of the President, said yesterday he acceded to a request by Mrs. Theodore Roose- velt, jr., not to introduce her to a Fort Worth Town Hall audience last night to avoid an “embarrassing” situation. Young Roosevelt, invited several ‘weeks ago to appear at the Town Hall lecture and introduce his distant relative, said he cancelled plans when Mrs. Roosevelt wrote him that divergent pclitical views “would make it embarrassing for all cgncerned for you to appear at the lecture.” The letter suggested, Roosevelt said, that he inform the Town Hall Com- mittee that he would be out of the city and could not serve.

A Mr. Kennedy, whom I had never met, introduced me.” She referred to Marshall H. Ken- nedy, Tarrant County Republican chairman. Elliott Roosevelt said he agreed when Mrs. W. M. Harrison, executive secretary of the Town Hall group, asked him to introduce Mrs. Roose- velt, adding that he saw no reason why the fact that his father, the Presi- dent, and Theodore Roosevelt, jr., dif- fered in political views should inter- fere with what he considered “a courtesy to a relatives and my duty as & citizen of Fort Worth.” Differ “in Every Respect.” ‘Young Roosevelt said he received a letter from the lecturer in which she reminded him that her husband's po- litical views “differed in every respect to those of your father, the Presi- dent.” The letter continued, he said, that she entertained the same views as her husband and that “it would be em- barrassing to all concerned for you to @ppear at the lecture.” The President’'s son said he tele- graphed his relative that under the circumstances he would oblige. Roosevelt said he then explained to Mrs. Harrison of the Town Hall Com- mittee that “I wanted you to know the whole story as I would not let you This hitherto unpublished on the rifle range ar THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
