HUGHES DECIDES NOT
TO ANSWER CHARGES
INVOLVING POLICIES
Candidate Said to Strongly
Feel Delicacy of Position as
' to Foreign Countries.

Ptkesvllle, Ky., Oct. 12. (U. P.)
Republican Candidate Hughes' Is deter
mined not to make any answer to the
charge that he represents the German-
American vote". He regard himself a
potentially a president. He holds It
his duty neither try word or deed to
walk into any trap which shall seem
to commit him, a man who may be
chosen In November to dictate Amer
ica's position toward the world, to any
specific course of action with regard
lo European policies.
The United Press presents this ex
planatlorvof the candidate's attitude by
permission today.
When Hughes discusses and con
demns the British blacklist, it Is fur
ther explained, it is not with the Idea
of any animus against Great Britain
"When he hits at the submarine war
fare and the Wilson administration
handling of that issue, he does npt
tpeak with a mind biased against Ger-
iran'y.
OIth Statement of Position.
He speaks" as one who regards Amer
tea's opportunity as the greatest o
neutral nations, the most momentous
to America herself and to the other
nations of the world in establishing
lirmly the principles of neutrality.
To those with -whom he talked on
the subject Governor Hughes has
Atiu to tills statement of position the
loliowing:
"America roust leave no stone un
turned to enforce against any nation
her rights as a wyld power. By so
aolng the United states not only main
tains lier own dignity as a nation, bu
he establishes more firmly the prin
ciples of Justice contained in inter
national law."
International law, the governor
holds, is not a fixed unit. It Is a col
lection of principles to which nations
subscribe. Those principles become
llxed only when some great nation es
tablishes their justice and fairness by
demand, unflinchingly maintained, for
their fullest observance.
Peels Delicacy of Position.
If the United States can accomplish
this fixation of principles of Interna
tional law by holding all nations
strictly, accountable to the spirit of
the now only nebulous principles of In
ternational law, America will have her
opportunity to become foremost among
world powers, he believes.
The Republican candidate. It Is said
for him. feels very strongly the delicacy
of his position as a presidential candi
date In this time when international
law Is in the making. He is extremely
lesentful of any Jockeying by either
his friends or his political foes, which
attempts to align him with either the
central allies or the entente ppwers.
He does not desire In any utterance to
mention the name of a single one of
the warring powers lest some incorrect
deduction be made from that mention.
Hut in every speech from now on he
expects to reiterate in emphatic lan
guage his disavowal that he has any
understanding or agreements or In
trigues with anybody.

Under Arrest in San Franciaco, Con

San Francisco, Oct. 12. (U. P.) A
frank statement that he was convict

Copenhagen, Oct. 12. (U. P.) For
mer King Otto of Bavaria, Kurope'a
"mad king," died suddenly at the castle
of Furstenrled. ,near Munich, where he
has been confined. Insane, for several
years.
The "Mad King" of Bavaria, about
70 years old at the time of his death,
startled Europe by his eccentricities
before he was declared incapable of
ruling on November 5, 1913, and was
succeeded by his cousin. King Ludwlg
HI.
He had nominally succeeded his
brother, King Ludwig II.. in 188$,
when Ludwig committed suicide by
throwing himself into a lake during
a fit of insanity. His uncle, the regent
Luitpold, was, however, the real ruler
of Bavaria.
During the Franco-Prussian war.
Otto first showed symptoms of In
sanity when he called out a squad of
cavalry to charge straight at a stone
wall. The stone wall, he said, was a
body of French Infantry. Then he was
summoned by the kaiser to headquar
ters and It was reported letters were
found in his possession offering to
make peace with France. He was then
put under a medical escort.
Several years ago the "mad king
was Imprisoned in the Fuerstenrled
castle. Though In the midst of rich
furnishings, he is reported to have
lived like a savage, refusing to have
hie hair or nails' cut and avoiding
water and soap. For days he would
refuse food, imagining It to be poi
soned. His attendants finally persuad
ed him to eat by pretending to hide
food about the palace. The "mad king"
then "discovered" the food, and, believ
ing it had been hidden by the servants
to satisfy their own appetites, ate it
with the greatest relish. He was pas
sionately fond of grand opera, sum
moned well known singers to his castle
and often spent days listening to
operas.
On April 27 of each year, King Otto
was examined by a government com
mission charged with the duty of re
porting on his sanity. A few years
ago he became seriously ill from a
carbuncle on his neck and was believed
to be dying.

morning.
He will address a joint meeting of
the Realty board and Ad club in the

bers of the Chamber of Commerce, Ro
tary, Progressive Business Men's and

"The trouble with our business men
is that they go after oriental trade In
about the same way that they would
go into the stock exchange when local
business is bad they look after some-
tbing else and when local business
brightens they withdraw their d's-
tant selling campaign, never realizing
that long and persistent effort is re
quired, said Mr. Lawrenson, who spent
many years In first study of the sub
ject. After Mr. Lawrenson's address
on oriental trade opportunities in Se

"The organization of the council
likewise opens up a new direct chan
nel of communication and cooperation
between business and scientific men
and all departments of the govern

tion becoma a rallying point tor civlo
bodies working for tha national de
