We motored to Farmingdale to lunch with Mr. and Mrs. Summer Gerard and to
talk over matters having to do with his brother's return. I suggested that he
write out what his brother should say upon landing and send it to me tomorrow
for my approval. I feel so entirely responsible for Gerard's coming at this
time that I do not want him to say anything which will cause trouble.
It was necessary for me to return to New York at half past four in order
to meet Paul Warburg. He seemed glad to be able to talk with me for once about
something other than the Federal Reserve Board troubles. He believes we should

move could be made by Hughes before Autumn of next year. This brought forth a
wish for the President's re-election and a firm belief that he would be success-
ful. He thought I should go to Europe before the election, no matter what cri-

I was giving my time almost entirely to the campaign.
I called attention to the kind of men who would probably advise Hughes
regarding an international settlement, and thought that Root, Lodge and Roosevelt
would necessarily be to the fore. He deplored this as warmly as I thought he
would, and hoped such matters would continue to be in my hands. He spoke of the
confidence the belligerents had in me, especially the English and Germans.
I met McAdoo at eight o'clock and we went to the Strand Theater to
see the film of the President and his Cabinet to which we had been specially
invited. Some of our Campaign Committee were there and my entire time was tak-
