Being of the opinion that the petitioner was not en-1 titled to the reliet sought, by reason pt the fact that she was at work which kept her away from home much of the day and for other causes not necessary to mention, the county court took no action on the petition until July 30, 1015, when it entered an order deny ing the same, but gave other relief. Mrs. Finley then uppealed the case to the circuit court, and Judge Galloway decided she wus entitled to a widow's pension, but held she was guilty of i investigation which showed that ap laches in not compelling the juvenile proximately two million pounds of ex court to act upon licr petition sooner ! plosives are handled at the Black Tom and allowed her compensation only from peninsula and in the Jersey Central July 30, 1915.

Charles Evans Hughes' "keynote" for the coming campaign pleased all republicans to dny. Party chiefs who ussembled to hear the former justice formnlly ncccpt the nomination last night were unani mous todny in praising the striking sentences with which the candidate out lined the issues on which the G. O. P. is to start eviction proceedings ngainst Woodrow Wilson and the democratic majority in the senate and house. The fact that 4,000 men and women sat for nearly three hours in swelter ing, sizzling lient to hear tile nominee break another one of his famous si lences in the meeting at Carnegie hull wus looked ujion by republicans today as auguring well for success in No vember. Moreover, the same sticky, sweating auditors had enough enthusi asm left nt the end of that session in the close air of the hall to cheer Hughes vociferously.

The "old liners" were pleased with a ringiug protection dec laration on the tariff; the liberals with the labor, conservation and adminis tration's efficiency sections in his up braiding of the Wilson administration, and the bull moosers with the "Ameri canism" creed, the preparedness plat form and the Mexican discussion. Iieimblicans and democrats alike to day were convinced thnt Hughes' prin cipal issue in his fight against Wilson will be tho Mexican situation. The second line offensive will be bombardment along the lines of "ad equate" preparedness and tiie tariff. Nearly eight years ago, Hughes ac cepted the gubernatorial nomination in Madison .Square Garden. At that time and in the campaign which followed he was adjudged one or the best earn iiaitniers New York had ever Been, Considerably grayer of beard and inoro linld last night than on that other night of acceptance, Hughes exhibited no diminution of vigor in his stumping ability, in the opinion of t'.iose who knew him in other days. On his trans-continental trip start ing Saturday, his supporters expect him to uive the country a sample or the sort of campaigning that made him famous in the gubernatorial race.
