Groat. (United Press staff correspondent.) New York, June 13. Charles E. Hughes, whiskers, smiled and all, is to look every American square in the eye and prove -to each that he is not an iceberg. The movies will lie the medium. It became known at the candidate's headquarters in the Astor hotel today that the tiationnl committee is already making arrangements to have pictures of Hughes shown in practically every movie house in the United States. It is held that this will dispel the impression that Hughes is a "thinking machine" rather than a "regular fel low." flipping into the crush of persons vho throng headquarters today in strenuous efforts to get good seats on the bandwagon was a messenger boy -who brought the candidate 4tf four leaf clovers the gift of William C. Iiouglas, of Delhi, N. Y., where Hughes once taught school, and John J. Waters, of Mechaniesville. It was in the region of Mechaniesville that Hughes, in his nioro sportive days pursued the festive squirrel to his doom. Plan Hot Campaign. Another gift was the eanc carried by John C. Fremont, the first republican residential candidate. A sub-committee of. the national com mittee is to meet in a few days to dis cuss campaign details. Justice Abel K. lllnckman. Justice Frederick It. Crane and Attorney Henry A. Mark, all of Brooklyn, were among Hughes' early morning calers. No provision has been made to re reive a call from Colonel Eoosevelt, none being expected. Plans for the Hughes offensive into the enemy's country will probably be madii today when W. Murray Crane, one o? the republican "big three," ram bled into Hughes' reception room, for a "little talk." Whether OiAne will be accompanied 1)y others of the powers was not made knon-.i todny, It is expected, however, thnt the others may delay the visit un til time for the formal notification of Hughes that he has been selected repub lican stnifilard bearer. This will occur some time before nrvt Tuesday. On that ' day he will go to Brown university n. Providence to attend the thirty-fifth reunion of his clnss. Just what Crane has in mind in the way of a campaign is not known. He is still pursuing the tactics of the Chi Cairo convention working quietly Col O'iel Roosevelt calls it "pussyfooting." Hughes will not march in the pre paredness parade in Washington tomor row, heing too busy hero. In lieu of ni arching he has written William F.

Ackennan (United Press staff correspondent) Budapest, June 1 (via Berlin, delay-! ed) "I do not look for the annexa tion of. any large part of Serbia by Austria-Hungary," declared Count Al bert Appenyi, opposition leader in the Hungarian parliament, in an exclusive interview granted the United Tress to day. "Only strategic positions must re main in our hands." Count Appenyi is often calied the "greatest statesman of Hungary." His statement is important not only because it is the first public utter ance by a leading statesman of the dual monarchy on the Balkan question but because it gives the world an in dication of what Hungarians believe should be done with Serbia at the end of tho war. It in tlioir itU'ii that Austria-Hungary should retain strat- Balkans' from again kindling a world war. "I personally do not believe4 that tho Kiirajoviich dynasty which, for- merly ruled Serbia, should return. " continued Count Appenyi. "The Ka- rageovitek rulers organized permanent conspiracies against our safety, minating in the assassination at Sara jevo of the Archduke Ferdinand, the act that jrecipitated the war. Wo cannot tolerate such rule again. Fur thermore, Bulgaria and Greece must be constructed into efficient powers. Bul garia must obtain her rights in Mace donia. ' ' Count Appenyi believe peace is not far distant. "Before there can be effective steps to bring peace, there must tie false steps. The period we are passing through now. The success of media tion does not hinge on the personality of the mediator, but upon the spirit in which mediation js offered. "Those who have been considered as pos'ble- peaeemnkcrs-Presidenrt Wilson, Pope Benedict, the King of Spain and the Queen of Holland are all welcomo as peacemakers, provid ing they bring real fairness and impar tiality and advocate terms which can be accepted without our renouncing the necessary aims of defensive war fare. That means that we must have enectivo guarantees for the future safety of Europe. "There is no doubt that we can hold out until the coming harvest. Then the economic situation will be completely altered, making it evident that we can not be starved into surren dering. I do not think our enemies any longor entertain hopes of military success. We arc convinced of the ef ficiency of the economic measures we have taken -too, then the time will be ripe for peace. FIFTY-FIFTY Mr. Rinkpnto (to barber) my hair in the middle, please."

"The wor,ld is going to know that when America speaks she means what she says," President Wilson told the mil itary academy graduating class today. A moment before he had said "un doubtedly gentlemen, it is the duty of America to be prepared." President Wilson promised in behalf of the United States to uphold the Monrno doctrine. He promised, too. what he did not promise when he nude the recent peace league speech, that when the time conies, Amrica will be ready to join the other nations to see that "that kind of justice prevails everywhere that we lielieve in." To be military does not mean mili taristic, the president said. He asked the West Point men to forget that thev are citizens first. I Mentioning the "small number" wlio loved their county more than the country of their adoption, he said, "noliody who doesn't put America first, can consort with us." The president aaid An Eloquent Address "I look upon tiiisj body of men who are graduating today with a pe culiar interest.

This would mean that a total of .1(10,000 Austrians have been put out of tho fighting sineo Juno 4. The Austrian army on the east front has been variously estimat ed at from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men.

We Have $500, 000 Cask and $1,000,000 Worth of Brains Says Woman's Party Leader By Karl A. Blckel. (United Press staff correspondent.) St. Louis, Juno' 13. "Enact the Susa i B. Anthony amendment before tho cud of the present session of con gress or fight. Half a million dollars is available for the fight." This is the ultimatum that will be handed tho resolutions committee of he democratic national committee by a delegation of the national womuu's party on Thursday. The woman's party will not ask that a plank favoring suffrage be placed in the democratic platform. They state that "favorubln mention" by tho democrats has no at traction for them. They are putting it up squarely to the Wilson administra tion to translate any friendly feeling that it has into terms of definite action by taking the Susan B. Anthony amend ment cut of the hands of the judiciary committee immediately and passing it. This emendment to the national consti tutio.i puts the question of nation-wide equal suffrage up to the states for npprovnl. In taking this attitude the women's party is favoring "direct ac tion" as against the plan of the Na tional American Woman Suffrage as sociation, headed by Mrs. Carrie . Chap man Cutt, who is here to ask the reso lutions committee of the democratic national convention for a plunk endors ing the principle of suffrage but de handing no promises on the Anthony amendment.

Tho New York Evening Sun financial review today said: Wall Street was disposed to attribute the spiritless and somewhat reaction ary stock market of todny to tho Mexican situation and to the confer ence of tho railroad managers and the union leaders, both of which, but more particularly the former assumed some what disturbing aspects. Washington made no secret of a feling of appre hension over the difficulties which aro multiplying along tho southern frontier, as is evidenced by the strengthening of the American forces in that direc tion. But while these features served as an explanation for tho unsatisfactory prico movement, the undeniable fact remains that yesterday's upturn de veloped heavy profit taking, of which the market felt som e effects and these were nccontuated no doubt by the further fact thut Monday's deal ings were largely professional. Tho nomination of Mrs. Hughes, while a matter of great satisfaction to the financial district, did not stimulate fresh buyng. First prices indicated no important chnngo in either direction, but the rail way issues under the leadership of New York Central wero firm.

Anthony amendment is enacted at this session. They have the power to do it. "In the suffrage states are 01 elec toral votes. This is one-third of enough to elect a president and under political conditions as they exist today, the loss of this block of votes will defeat any candidate. A change of less than 12 per cent of tho total vote in the block of 12 suffrage states will swinir them nil. We can control thnt vote," The committco that will file the wo men's ultimatum with the democratic committee will consist of Miss Anna Martin, of Nevndn; national chairman, Sarah Bard Field; Maude Younger and Ida Finney Mnckrill. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of the Na tionnl Aniericnn Woman Suffrage nsso riution, is very outimistic of tho changes of a suffrage plank going into tho democratic platform. She believes that it will read similar to the one in the republican platform.
