Waxay u muuqatay in McKinley uu soo kaban doono, sidaa darteed Roosevelt wuxuu u safray safar qoys oo la qorsheeyay iyo socdaal socod ah oo uu ku aaday Mount Marcy ee Adirondacks. Buuraha dhexdood, orod yahan ayaa ku wargeliyay in McKinley uu sakaraaday. Roosevelt iyo xaaskiisa, Edith, waxay ka fekerayeen sida ugu wanaagsan ee ay uga jawaabi lahaayeen, maadaama aysan dooneynin inay ka soo muuqato Buffalo oo ay sugaan geerida McKinley. Roosevelt waxaa si deg deg ah loogu qaaday tareenno taxane ah oo loo raaco saldhigga tareenka ee North Creek. Saldhigga, Roosevelt waxaa loo dhiibay telegraam sheegaya in Madaxweyne McKinley uu dhintay 2:30 AM, Sebtember 14, 1901. Madaxweynaha cusub wuxuu ku sii socday tareenka North Creek ilaa Buffalo.

Halkaasna, galabnimadii Sebtember 14, 1901, ayuu Garsoore Hazel dhaartii u gudbiyay Roosevelt.
