The rest of Romney's day didn't go quite as planned, either. First, a homeless man harassed him on the way to the Park Street T, loudly demanding at the news conference: ''Are you running for president?"

Later came the ''cat lady" -- Heidi Erickson, locally infamous for allegedly hoarding cat carcasses in her Beacon Hill apartment -- who screamed, ''You killed my cats," and scuffled with transit police as Romney spoke at Park Street Station.

Romney was also asked by a reporter yesterday about when he last rode the subway. He could only recall recent press events at T stops.

''Let's see it was, we did it with the Charlie card and then also the . . . it was with President Travaglini -- I'm trying to recall," he said, asking aloud, ''We were at a station, what was it . . . Ashmont station? Ashmont station, it was Ashmont station . . . It's not my regular commute."

'The reason he has all these people," she said, gesturing toward Romney's aides, ''is he doesn't know where the subway is. I wouldn't mind, but he never takes the train. Dukakis used to take the train."
