I te 6 o Hepetema, 1901, i haere a Perehitini McKinley ki te Pan-American Exposition i Buffalo, New York i te wa i pupuhi ai ia
nā Leon Czolgosz i tuhi. I te hararei a Roosevelt i Vermont, ka haere ki Buffalo ki te toro ki a McKinley i te hohipera. I te āhua nei ka ora ake a McKinley, nō reira ka haere anō a Roosevelt ki tana hararei ki Adirondacks. I te kino haere o te ahua o McKinley, ka haere ano a Roosevelt ki Buffalo. I mate a McKinley i te Mahuru 14, a i whakamohio a Roosevelt i a ia i North Creek; ka haere tonu ia ki Buffalo ka oatihia hei perehitini 26 o te motu i te Ansley Wilcox House.
