NATIONAL CAMPAIGN Hughes Alliance, Organized in New York State in 1908, Will Be Formed Again to Help Him to White House at November Election— Sees Wiekersham. CANDIDATE ARRIVES IN OLD BAILIWICK Drops in on Father Knickerbocker at Early Hour But Refuses to Discuss " Plans With Newspapermen—Ex- pects to Confer With Party_ Leaders Many of Whom Are Absent From City . New York, June 12.—The first or- ganized political move in the further- ance of the campaign for the election ““of Charles E. Hughes was announced today upon the arrival of the repub- lican candidate here from Washing- ton. It whs the revival of the Hughes Alliance, an organization of republi- can, democratic and independent vot- ers which came into existence during the second campaign of Mr. Hughes Jfor governor in New York in 1908. "The announcement was made by Travis H. Whitney, public service commissioner, one of the first to meet Mr. Hughes on his arrival on an-early morning train. Mr. Whitney accompanied the presi- dential candidate to the hotel Astor where Mr. Hughes established his headquarters. He sald the same men who were identified with the Hughes _Alliance had decided to get together/ to work in New York state for the election of the candidate, probably under the name of the Hughes Non- Partisan League. The organization, he said, would establish headquarters here and co-operate with the regular republican organization. Soon after Mr. Hughes had reached ¢ the hotel, where he at once retired to » his room, men prominent in republi- can politics began to gather. Mr. Hughes arrived from Washing- ton at 7:05 a. m., via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and ferry to West Twenty-third street and went to the hotel where he will spend the day. He said he had nothing to tell just vet regarding his plans, but promised to see the newspaper men later in * the day. Although the police department had been notified of the republican candi- date’s coming and had sent detectives to meet his train, his arrival here at such an early hour was generally un- expected. Many Deaders Still Away. Many of the leaders who are ex- pected to talk with Mr, Hughes dur- ing his stay in New York had not re- turned from Chicago this morning. Mr. Hughes did not say how long he intended to stay here. Mr. Hughes secretary, Lawrence H. Green, accompanied him from Wash- ington and his first caller after he reached the hotel was Robert Fuller, who was his secretary when he was governor of New York. One of the questions before Mr. Hughes and his friends today was the location of summer headquarters. “I have nothing to say on politics at this time,” said Mr. Hughes, greet- ing newspaper men who met him on the ferryboat which brought him over the Hudson. This was in response to a question as to whether he would see Col. Roosevelt during his stay here. “I have come here primarily to make my plans for the summer” con- tinued the presidential candidate. “New York, by the way, is where I be- jong and I am glad to get back here.”” Mr. Hughes admitted there were certain ‘“important matters to dis- cuss,” but efforts by the newspaper men to learn at this time what his specific plans were proved futile. Just as Mr. Hughes went aboard the ferry the sun came out for the first time in nearly a week. Unknown on Train. Mr. Hughes presence on the train that brought him from Washington was unknown to all but a very few of his fellow passengers. When he left the train he attracted no attention, but aboard the ferry he was recog- nized by commuters coming to the city from their Jersey homes. They made no demonstration. No appointments had been made with the republican leaders for this fore- noon, according to Mr. Hughes’ secre- tary, who added that the length of his stay in New York at this time was uncertain. s yet undecided whether Mr. Hughes would receive here or in Washington the convention committee which is to formally notify him of his nomination. Mr. Hughes went directly to his ho- tel, and, after ordering copies of all the morning newspapers, retired to his rooms. . N A Matter of Duty. Mr. Hughes received newspaper men in the course of the forenoon but de- clined to discuss his plans. He was asked how it felt “to be drafted for the biggest job in the world.” “I can only say,” he replied, “there are certain circumstances under which (Continued on Tenth Pge.) LEAD MERIDEN POLIGE WILD CHASE; PAY TODAY Four New Britain Joyriders Get Fines Amounting te $141.25. Five New Britain young men, Mar- tin Busch, Frank Dionne, Arthur So- rel, alias Walter Maye, Joseph Sulli- van and Peter Cook were arraigned in the Meriden police court this morn- ing on wvarious charges including drunkenness, breach of the peace, resisting an officer and reckless driv- ing. Attorney P. T. O’Brien defend- ed them and each entered a plea of guilty. The fines meted out ranged from $5 and costs to $35 and costs each and totalled $141.25. Cook, who was charged with reck- less driving and failing to stop when ordered to do so by an officer, was fined $35 and costs, the costs being $7.85 in his case and $5.85 in each of the others. Sullivan and Dionne were each charged with intoxication, breach of the peace and resistance and were fined $25 and costs each. Busch was charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace and was fined $15 and costs, while Sorel, alias Maye, was fined $10 and costs on a breach of the peace charge. It was brought out in court this morning that Sullivan and Dionne were the real ringleaders in the trouble and that they came to Mer- iden Saturday night on the train. At Meriden they joined a party of fun makers and their enthusiasf grew as the midnight hour approached. Of- ficer Ekdahl arrested Dionne and Sullivan and, placing them in an auto- mobile, headed for police headquar- ters. When near station the two men made a dash for liberty and in try- ing to restrain them the officer fell to the ground and sprained his knee cap. The two New Britainites raced back down the street and jumped into an auto drivem by Cook and in which the other local men were rid- ing that had been following them. Cook is alleged to have turned on | full speed and raced through the cen- ter of the city at forty miles an hour. Officer Custy tried to stop them, but was advised to seek an- other climate whereupon he hailed another jitney and gave chase. On Brooks street they fled from the car, but Sullivan was caught. The names of the others were learned and Officer Strolls and Meehan arrested Dionne and Sullivan here. Officers Richard- son and Nealon arrested Busch and Sorel later and all were turned over to the Meriden authorities. EIGHT TYPHOID CASES Alarmed Health Authorities and Fear Epidemic Will Result Unless Every Precaution Is Taken at Once. Superintendent T. E. Reeks of the Health department has been aroused by the discovery of eight cases of typhoid fever in the city and today is making strenuous efforts to trace them to their source. Five cases were reported this morning and one of the three cases previously reported proved fatal. Five of the cases are in the vicinity of Sexton street, one is on | Booth street, one on Glen street and another on South Main street. The death was on Booth street. Realizing that eight cases of phoid at this season of the might forecast an epidemic, the de- ty- year | partment is following every clue to reach the source of the disease. Milk Inspector Radcliff is probing milk on | the farms which sold to the houses where typhoid has cropped up and Dr. Reeks urges all householders to boil milk before wusing it. Unless | stringent action is taken an epidemic is liable to sweep the city. Dr. Reeks does not wish to be regarded in the role of an alarmist but he realizes the seriousness of the situation and wishes every precaution taken- Dr. Reeks also urges physicians to report immediately any suspected cases of typhoid.

ARE BACK AGAIN West Cold to Nominee of G. 0. P. at Chicago NOT MUCH ENTHUSIASM “Specia] De Luxe” Puffs Into Hartford Station and All Harsh Criticism of New England Weather Is Herewith Retracted. They are back in the old Nutmeg State, those fourteen delegates to the republican national convention who played such an important part in electing Charles Evans Hughes as the possible successor of one Woodrow Wilson. They arrived home this morning on their “special de luxe’. There was no brass band to welcome them at the | Hartford station. There was none needed. The fourteen delegates, and the fourteen alternates, and the twen- ty-eight guests and the four newspa- permen carried their own music with them. So they came in singing, “Ge But it's great to be home again! Gosh, how we hope we never roam again.” Not that the trip was not a success; but because everybody was glad to get back and see the old places in Connecticut, the places that had given way to Chicago scenery and rain for some seven or eight days. | From Hartford the various members | of the delegation made their way to their own home town Oh, yes! John T. King remained over in Ch cago ‘“‘on business”. Thanks For Everyone. Between Springfield and Hartford | those on board the republican choo- ohoo car held the last “love feast” | of the trip. John Henry Roraback,: who as chairman of the delegation | had charge of such things, called a formal meeting for the purpose of placing on the records formal votes of thanks to all those who had any- thing to do with making the party a real one. This included everyone aboard the five cars from the head waiter down to the ‘“yaller’ boy who had charge of the buffet car but the one who came in for special approval was Judge George W. Klett, of this city, whose numerous duties as sec- retary of the organization kept him busy from morning until night, from the time the ‘“special” left Hartford, Saturday June 3, until it pushed its way back there today. Little Confidence In West. Despite the fact that out Chicago way there. is not much enthusiasm over the Hughes candidacy, because of the cold blooded manner in which it was received even by those who aided in bringing it about, the men from Connecticut journeyed ‘all the | way from the Windy City to their | own home state singing the praises of the whilom justice and enthusias- tically confident of his success in No- vember. The main thought attached | to this, however, was the long fore- sight exercised by Senator Klett in choosing Hughes as the winner over the host of “favorite sons” and “dark horses” who were ever in danger of basis he had enlisted sefen members | before the convention doors opened. After the first ballot he had rounded up the entire delegation with a few | exceptions. The only ones who failed | to follow his lead were those supposed | to be the greatest of political prog- nosticators. A. J. Sloper, who was the guest of on the journey, naturally the Hughes sentiment of hi will go down to posterity as an | original Hughes man, that term | will mean anything after the fateful | Tuesday in November. Whether it will or not must depend largely on many conditions, notably the out- come of the present progressive-re- publican wrangle which may prove a source of worry to those who would like to see Wilson step down and out from the White House and thus | give the republicans a chance at the pie counter. An oldtime politician tn Chicago put it this wa We haven't got much chance in November with this man Hughes, bcy use he is too ! cold-blooded, to begin with, but we ! are not worrying. We would sooner | g0 down to defeat with a ‘“regular | than struggle through campaign with a ‘bolter.’ ” Party, Not the Man. Some of the most regular cans can see no differegce between | Wilson and Hughes as far as they | are concerned. Tt is an admitted fact ! that it Hughes should win those who are looking for favors need not ap- ply to him. He does not believe in | taking care of his friends or of those state senator, Senator Klett followed host and former a republi- | | | ! in who help him along in a political way. So the regular republicans who are | back of Hughes are not back of him | | because he is ITughes but be is a regular republican and him and by him the broken tered party might he brought serviceable condition.

Mr. Francis said that he left Mex- “in a hurry” to avoid arrest, sus- picion being directed against him on account of his activity to secure the A.

He added that the charges against Mr. Dunn were not made pub- lic. Mr. Francis described business con- ditions in Mexico as ‘“‘chaotic.” Anxiety In Washington. Washington, June .12.—Increasing excitement and anti-American feeling throughout northern Mexico is de- scribed in today’s dispatches to the state department. In many cases it was said at the department, the Car- ranza authorities appear to be indif- ferent to what is going on. Neither details of the reports nor information as to the points heard from were made public, on the ground that the work of American Consuls would be handicapped. Officials made no attempt to con- ceal their anxiety over the situation, which apparently is crystallizing in the northern Mexican states. Japanese in Raid on Ranch.
