President in New York
And Is Being Watched
New York, Feb. 14.—The first attempt of an unwelcome visitor to call upon President Roosevelt since his arrival in New York occurred early today, when a man who called himself William Waldorf Jackson, Jr., of Lowell, Mass., called at the home of Douglas Jass Robinson, 422 Madison avenue, where the President stopped for the night, and asked to have his card sent to the President. Secret service men and policemen on guard about the entrance informed the man that the President had not yet arisen and asked him to call again. He was not arrested, but went to the hotel, saying he would return later to the Robinson home. In answer to a question as to his identity and why he wanted to see the President, Jackson said he wished to confer with the President as to reforms in the government and that he was a self-nominated candidate for the presidency in 1904. He declared that he was proprietor of the hotel Hamilton in Lowell. His movements are being watched by the police.
