BOSTON—Gov. Deval Patrick is in New York City for two days busy with something his staff will only say is "personal business."

The governor was out of the Statehouse on Thursday as the House defeated his proposal to license three casinos in Massachusetts.

Late in the day, his staff released his Friday schedule and it again said that the governor had "no public events" and he was "in New York on personal business."

Aides refused to elaborate, except to say the trip was not because of a medical condition.

Lt. Gov. Tim Murray is serving as acting governor, as he has during numerous out-of-state campaign trips Patrick has made this year on behalf of Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.
