R., Nov. 22.—Presi dent Roosevelt was accorded an ova tion surpassing anything ever seen In Porto Rico at the reception today In his honor at the gubernatorial man sion. Both In point of numbers of the guests and the enthusiasm manifested the reception was a record-breaker. Many persons were unable to reach the president to shake hls hand. An incident was the meeting of Pres. Ident Roosevelt and E. G. Morton, who fought by hls side at Santiago de Cuba, and was one of the first five to ascend the hill. President Roosevelt's return to the -United States will be delayed some what. The roughness of the sea out side San Juan makes It Impossible for him to board the Loulsana there, and he will return to Ponce to embark. Making the 80-mile trip over the famous military road from Ponce t< San Juan in six hours and three min utes. Including stops, President Roose velt crossed the Island of Porto Rico In an automobile yesterday and re celved a continuous ovation.
