notified the navy department today
that he had ordered a survey of the
New Kuland coast lo investigate re

that several destroyers alrendy had
been dispatched from Newport north
and that the work would he done na
iler the admiral's direction and with
out instructions J'rom Washington,
Naval officials here did not place
much -credence in the reports and
characterized them as an outcome n'
the recent operation of the German j
submarine X'-'i'A off Nantucket shoals.
Numerous reports of the same char
acter have been received bv t hi de
partment since the beginning of the
war. Investigation was made in each
instance, but wuh unproductive.

enforcing neutrality observance and
saving lives in event of furl her sub

That Wilson will carry the state of
Washington is the opinion of A. .

Five hundred persons scattered
themselves through the iaryc halt of

of the republican campaign committee
and cheered enthusiastically the ef
fort h of the band, vocal solos 1
George. Andrews and two original
p'ems by Hick Tosey of Ashland
OnW about half the audience remain
ed until tlie end of the meeting.
Colonel Washburn of Table I
presided over the meeting, and witl
an appeal to the women in the audi
ence, introduced Mrs. William Kent
wife of Congressman Kent of Cali
fornia, who stated that she appeared
as the official representative of the
women's party. This party, she ex
plained, is placing the question of nation-wide
woman's suffrage as tin
paramount issue of the campaign.
Mrs, Kent SMiks.
My husband is for Wilson," she
staled, ami was met by a spontane
ous burst of applause, "but I am foi
Hughes, and here the platform urn-
tors and ushers, led by r'red Mears
saved the meeting for Hughes by a
heart' outburst.
Wilson, she declared, has had 'the
opportunity during his term as presi
dent, to adopt (he suffrage amend
ment to the constitution ami has not
done so. Hughes, on the other hand,
she staled, has declared for the
amendment, and for that reason alone
should receive the support of the wo
man vote. "We are out after this
amendment," she continued, "and we
have picked the pnrtv whieh we con
sider will carry our cause farthest."
A. E. Clark of I'ortlatid, the princi
pal speaker of the evening, in a long
address flayed the foreign ami do
mestic policies of the present admin
istration, predicted certain industrial
paralyatioti following a continuance
of the present policy and accused
President Wilson of a direct repudia
tion of the rights uf American citizens
to protection from their country.
Predict. European Invasion,
Following the end of the great con
flict abroad, he said, the belligerent
nations will be strengthened and made
aggressive, and in case the Cnited
Stales does not dear up the muddle in
Mexico we may expect one or more of
the foreign powers to lake the matter
on), of our hands, settle the troubles
there and possibly bring about a con
flict with this count rv.
The speaker grilled President Wil
son in n comparison with Hughes. He
showed the labor laws enacted under
the administration id' Hughes as kv-
ernor of New York, and against this
record showed the record of Wilson
as president of Princeton, and fpmtetl
a number of speeches made by him to
sophomores id' that institution ten and
fifteen years ago.
The eight-hour law was condemned
by the speaker as n piece of futile,
coerced and discriminatory legisla
tion. Stutetsnmn Vacillating.
The statesmanship of President
Wilson was characterized as vacillat
ing and futile and utterly unable to
cope with the present issues, whieh
the speaker characterized as the
greatest in half a century.
Against ihis characterization, the
record and declarations of Hughes as
presidential candidate was held up.
All republican women were urged to
meet the ''Golden Special" al the sta
tion next Sunday morning and meet
the bevy of "charming and cultured''
women who are its crew.
