SEAGIRT. N. J.. Aug. 12. Economy to the extreme and the smallest cam paign fund in the history of any party, if possible, represent the wishes of Governor Woodrow Wilson for the coming- campaign. Discuss ins reports that the Democratic party wanted to raise at least S2.000.000. Governor Wilson eaid: "It veres me that it has been said that S2.0U0.000 has been fixed as the ' figure. I have not the slightest notion of how much is necessary, but I re member Mr. Bryan telling me the sum used in his campaign. I have forgotten the exact figures, but it certainly was under $1,000,000. ' "My desire Is to confine expenditures to a reasonable degree of economy and absolute legitimate objects. I regret that it costs as much as it does to run a campaign." "Machine" In Defined. Governor Wilson also amplified his views on organizations and political machines, with which Frederick -W. Hinrichs. once a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor In New York, took is sue with the Governor on Saturday. calling the Governor's attention to Koosevelt's position on these questions. "Organizations are absolutely neces sary." sall the Governor, "and it Is always right to discriminate between political machines and organizations. A machine is that small part of an or ganization used for wrong purposes, generally private and personal. It is not right to confuse an organization with the machine." Rolla Wells, former Mayor of St. Louis and now treasurer of the Democratic National committee, arrived In New York unannounced today. "I am not worried about raising cam paign funds." said Wells. "Popular sub scriptions will give us all the funds necessary." Though the Democratic party has no plank in Its platform advocating wo- man suffrage, a plan has been formu lated by the Wilson campaign managers by which they hope to make a bid for the feminine vote In the six woman suffrage states. Wo mam la Cbsrsf. Mrs. J. Borden Harrlman. of New York. Is to have charge of the Wilson campaign among women voters in Cali fornia. Washington, Wyoming. Utah. Colorado and Idaho. Joseph E. Davies. . secretary of the National committee and manager of the Western headquarters at Chicago, had an appointment with Governor Wilson today, at which ha ex pected to map out Mrs. Harriman's ac tivities. Without going into the suffrage ques tion. Mrs. Harrlman. according to pres ent plans, will make her appeal by speeches on the tariff and the cost of living, as well as legislation relating to hours of employment and workmen's compensation. Davies brought for the Governor's approval abstracts made by Mrs. Harrlman on the workmen's com pensation act and laws limiting em ployment signed by Governor Wilson in fiw Jersey. Rolla Wells was expected to call on Governor Wilson here during the day. LOOT IS $2000 IN ONE DAY Chicago Robbers Hold t'p Streetcar and Pedestrians. CHICAGO.

ARBITRATION MAY BE END (Contlnned From First Psre.) virtue of the existence of the Hay Pauncefote treaty, other European na tions and even Japan have refrained from approaching the State Depart ment, notwithstanding their inter est is equal to that of Great Britain by reason of their right to claim equal treatment for their shipping under the favored-nation clause. Officials of this Government, how ever, are said to expect that soon af ter the signature of the act by the President, their Charge will be directed to submit to the State Department a formal protest in behalf of his Gov ernment against what it regards as dis crimination against British shipping. This will require an equally formal re ply, reciting the act itself as a man date by Congress, which the Executive cannot desregard, supported by such argument as the diplomatic bureau can make to Justify the action. Arbitration Likely Alternative. As this will amount to a positive re fusal of the British request to treat British shipping on an equality with American, it is probable, in the opin ion of Government authorities, that the Foreign Office will come toward with a proposition to submit the issue to ar bitration, calling attention to the ex isting British-American arbitration treaty as a basis for the proposition. This move would bring the matter to a real crisis. Should arbitration be adverse to the American position. It would be necessary. It Is said, for the State Department to find reasonable grounds for a declination of the British overture, without laying Itself open to the charge that It had deliberately vio lated the provisions of the treaty that charge lodged again It In con nection with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
