the excuse that telemachus gives to the suitors is that he will clean the weapons
Odysseus makes a sign with his eyebrows, and Telemachus readies his weapons and joins his father next to the bow.
He warns him not to get the suitors angry with him, or they will kill him
He tells him to go home and wait for his fathers arrival as a beggar. He warns Telemachus not to interfere if the suitors are rise but to wait for the signal to hide all the weapons except his own. He also reminds Telemachus not to let any one know that he has returned.
In book 1, Telemachus tells the suitors that he will officially give them notice to leave in the morning. He tells the suitors that if they persist in eating at his house, Jove will reckon with them and they will eventually fall in his house (thinly veiled death-threats), with no man left to avenge them. He also tells the suitors to enjoy themselves and not fight, so that they can heard the bard Phemius. He also tells them that the visitor was an old friend of his father Odysseus; Mentes, son of Anchialus, chief of the Taphians.

they wanted to jump him when telemachus was coming back to shore after a trip to search for his father. they were hiding in a shore, Athene said to poseidon theres a ship from Ithaca, lets give odysses's friends a scare (or sumthing like that) and so they put a fog around the ship (athene is actually on odysses's side and the ship was holding the suiters). So then telemachus waltz right past the suiters without a second glance. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!
She gives Telemachus the advice to go in search of news of his father, Odysseus.
Odysseus had asked his son to lock the armory so that the suitors cannot defend themselves. After successfully shooting an arrow through the holes of the twelve axes, Odysseus shoots Antinous in the throat, and the suitors realize who the beggar - Odysseus - is. They try to flee, then attempt to get Odysseus away from the door so that they can escape. While Odysseus continues to shoot the suitors down, his son, Telemachus, gets spears and shields from the armory. After Odysseus runs out of arrows, he and his son use the spears to kill the suitors. They are helped by two servants. Eventually, Athena, goddess of war, makes her presence known in the form of a shield, and the suitors give up hope, and are slaughtered. Odysseus had killed 108 men, including 12 servants who had betrayed Odysseus (the maids had slept with the suitors, and a servant had mocked Odysseus when he was a beggar).
That his father is not dead and is in Ithaca
Odysseus tests the suitors when he asks them to give him food (remember that he is disguised as a beggar). Now he can see who is "guilty" or "not guilty."
Odysseus told Penelope to make sure the suitors did not gain control of their household, to stay faithful to him, and to keep their son Telemachus safe.
He tells him to go home and wait for his fathers arrival as a beggar. He warns Telemachus not to interfere if the suitors are rise but to wait for the signal to hide all the weapons except his own. He also reminds Telemachus not to let any one know that he has returned.
