UP)—The shots from an assas sin's gun will not curtail the pre inaugural activities of Pres -EL ct Roosevelt. Whether he realizes the signific ance of the fact that he was the target of the five bullets ot the Miami gunman Wednesday nigh*., the president-elect is not worrying about it. His concern continues to be of the five victims shot by the bullets intended for him. Telegrams Pour In Proceeding northward lro.n his vacation cruise in the southern sea^, he was looking forward to a re union with the family in New York City tonight. He met members of the family last night the first time since the shooting, at a stop at Nahunta, Ga., where James, eldest son. and Betsy, the son's wife, boarded the train for a 10 minute visit. Gratified at the tremendous num ber of telegrams pouring into *he train from friends, citizenz and po tentates. the president-elect is turn ing to the business of the govern ment he is soon to command. Jesse Jones, member of the Re construction Finance corporation board am probably its next chair man. boarded the train at Jack sonville. Fla., last night and held a lengthy conference with Mr. Roosevelt. The train was scheduled to pass through Washington just before noon today but It was the inten'ion of Mr. Roosevelt to proceed direct ly to New’ York where he will re main until inauguration two wee*.> hence. FrarlrM, Xol Recklev* It is the conviction ot the presi dent-elect and his party that the shooting at Miami was a one-man affair. Most certainly, an unusual national demoastration In behalf of government has arisen from the Incident. While fearless, Mr. Roosevelt us not reckless. He is willing to accept the heavy body guard which has been placed about hurt. But he took the front seat with the chauffeiu as he rode about Miami yesterday en route to the hospital and train. The police and secret service men huddled closely about him though. They were taking no chances. The Roosevelt train is due in New York just before dinner tonight.
