" ITfiW YORK, Nov. S. Charles E.
Hughes wound up his 28,000-mile Presi
dential campaign tour with 15 stren
uous hours of campaigning today down
the Hudson River Valley and In Brook
lyn. The nominee delivered nine
speeches, starting? at 8:15 o'clock this
morning, and did not reach his hotel
until after midnight tonight.
Tomorrow, the last day of his cam
paign, was to have been a day of rest
with a big rally at Madison Square at
night. Instead it will be a whirlwind
day of more speaking In New York City.
When the nominee arrived here tonight
he found that the National Committee
had speeded up the campaign so that
he will spend virtually the entire aft
ernoon touring the city. Five speeches
are on his programme.
Mr. Hushes Feels Confident.
In almost every speech today and to
night the nominee told his audiences
he was confident of victory next Tues
day. He told them there was little new
he could say with regard to the issues
of the campaign. On his trip down the
Hudson River Valley he made the tariff
one of the chief themes of his speeches;
here tonight he spoke chiefly of Amer
icanism. "Let me say to you," he told an audi
ence In Brooklyn, the last he addressed
tonight, "that if I am - elected Presi
dent, as I expect to be ' he got no
further, for the moment. A man in the
gallery yelled: "You will be."
The entire audience rose and roared
Its approval of the Interruption, waving
hundreds of American flags.
American Interests Supreme.
"If I am elected President." the nom
inee continued, "we shall have an
American Administration with ex
clusively American policies, without
any deflection to serve any other in
terests. Supreme must be America's
Interests In the thoughts of the Ameri
can people, and the theme will be
America's interests in an administra
tion in my charge."
In his trip through Brooklyn tonight
Mr. Hughes campaigned over ground
familiar to him as a boy. The first
meeting he addressed in the Green
Point section was within three blocks
of the Union-Avenue Baptist Church,
where his father was once pastor. The
treets through which he passed were
those on which he had played as a boy,
he told the audience, and familar faces
were among those who heard him.
Old Home Welcome Is Beat!
"I have had many a generous wel
come and many a. manifestation of en
thusiasm on my long trip," he declared,
"but. best of all. Is the welcome home."
The second meeting of the evening
was in tne Brownsville section, a dis
trict which his advisers told him was
strongly Socialistic in Its politics. Here
me streets were choked. Traffic wna
'blocked and tHe services of more than
oo policemen were necessary to get the
nominee's car through the crowds and
to the entrance of the halL
At this meeting Mr. Hughes reiter
ated his indorsement of the Republic
an platform, declaring for a treaty
with Russia that will recognize the
right of expatriation. The audience
cheered thits more than any other ut
terance. The third address of the evening -was
at Kismet Hall. On his way there the
nominee passed the house in which he
was married. Here again he found
all space in the hall crowded with an
audience that had waited two hours
to hear him and hundreds standing in
the streets.
College Men's League Is Escort.
The Hughes special reached New
York 15 minutes late and was met at
Grand Central Station by a delegation
of hundreds of members of the Hughes
College Men's League, garbed for pa
rade and equipped with every noise
making device. They filed through tie
runway leading to his train, escorted
him to his car and then fell In behind.
waving flags and tooting horns. The
big concourse of the fetation was
crowded, and the nominee was cheered
as he made his way to his car.
In his day speeches Mr. Hughes'spoke
chiefly on the tariff and the .main
teuance of American rights abroad. He
also assailed the Administration for
"broken promises" with respect to the
reduction of the cost of living, the ob
servance of the merit system in making
appointments, the maintenance . .of
American rights abroad and the econ
omy In the expenses of the Government.
Consideration of Future Urged.
Conditions which' industry In the
United States will face at the close of
the war were characterized as cause
f or "6erlous consideration by every stu
dent of our affairs."

recognized duty. Mrs. E. B. Hanley

favor. Theda Bara. Charlie Chaplin and
the rally of the enthusiasts In the big

Goods Poured Into American Ports, to
Manifest Injury to Every Young
American Industry.
NEW IORK, Nov. 3. (Special.)
George W. Perkins, of the Republican
National campaign committee, today
Issued the following statement under
the caption. "Professor Wilson and
President Wilson Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde:"
"Last Saturday at Shadow Lawn
President Wilson, speaking of the tar
iff, said no one could tell what effect
the closing or the great European war
would have on our trade; that we
would have to wait and find. out. I
call his attention to the following
statement made by Professor Wilson in
his 'History of the American People.'
wherein, speaking of the close of the
Napoleonic war. he says:
" 'Peace changed the face of the
trade. English merchants poured their
goods once again Into the American
ports so long shut against them by em
bargoes and war. It was manifestly in
jurious to every young Industry that a.
flood of English imports should con
tinue to pour Into the country at the
open ports. The remedy was a pro
tective tariff such as Hamilton had
wished to see at first, and tho young
Republican leaders of Congress did not
hesitate to advocate and establish it.
"Absolutely the only difference be
tween that situation and the one we
will have at the close of the present
European war is that the Democrat
tariff then was 23 per cent, while the
present Underwood tariff, with agricul
tural products free. Is running at this
time at less than 9 per cent, the lowest
in our history."

Vancouver Barracks Makes Hurried
Shipment to Border.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe
cial.) Teiegraphlo orders from the
War Department received at Vancou
ver Barracks caused a rush shipment
of all the pontoon bridges and other
engineering mate-rials at the post here
-to points on the Mexican border.
There being only about 150 troops on
duty at the post, practically every man
was needed to hurry this property
onto the cars. This shipment previous
ly had been ordered, but today's order
was to rush It-
Company E. Engineers, now on the
border, had been ordered to return, but
this order now has been revoked.
Speculation here was rife over the pos
sibility of a move Into Mexico.

Anarchist Is Annoyed by Receiving

CHICAGO. Nov. 3. Charles A. Fll
Iplak. one of last year's crop of new

John.W. Rainey. Circuit Court clerk:
"Gentlemen: Please do not annoy
me with your voting circlars. then I do
not vote and kindly accept my resig

Scenting a scheme whereby City Com
missioners Bigelow and Daly planned
to put an economy programme into ef
fect In connection with the 1917 budget
of proposed expenditures, by making
gigantic cuts In the estimates of de
partments other than their own. Com
missioner Dleck yesterday beat them
to It and forced a, real economy pro
gramme down their throats.
The programme as adopted requires
that economy shall be practiced in
every department- A 5 per vent blanket
cut will be made In the total amounts
of each department, which will mean
a total cut of $118,891 for alL On top
of that, all appropriations for the es
tablishment of a municipal paving re
pair plant and for the elimination of
grade crossings along the line of the
O.-W. R. & N. on the East Side were

ly $140,000. which means that the total

of the estimates as they now stand
after three weeks of pruning by the

With all these cuts, the budget will
be down to a point where the same

of the fact that fixed charges, includ
