Governor Higgins and Mrs Higgins returned aboard the Cel tic from abroad on August 18. He reached the Albemarle late, then took a 9 o clock train to Olean to visit his mother. A party including Frank S Perley and others met him on the pier. He appeared robust and said he had lost touch with local affairs. He refused to discuss politics and insurance investigations, claiming he knew nothing of the details. He noted he read some testimony, but would not speculate without full facts. He also dismissed questions about Judge Gaynor and campaign contributions while stating Roosevelt was elected without corporate funds.
