NEW. BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1916. BEHR WITHDRAWS Contender For Championship Suc- cumbs to General Humidity and is Out of Present Tournament. Seabright, N. J.,, Aug. 9.—Karl H. Behr, winner of last year's Seabright tennis tournament, but wha was de~ feated In the challenge round by R. 5 withdrew from the Achelis cup Yesterday afternoon when he de- faulted his second round match to E. P. Larned. Behr appeared for his mateh, but the heat early in the after- s more intense than that of the previous day, and he adhered to 1is resolution made then that he would default rather than play under roon w such conditions, withdrawal takes from the ament one of the strongest con- It was Behr who vanquished ago in the Sea- bright tournament and much was ex- pected of him this season. His de- \ult leaves Robert Lindley Murray, Tehiya Kumagae, Leonard Beekman and Alrick H. Man, jr., the strongest tenders in ti lower half of the w. A heavy thunderstorm interrupted the tournament yesterday afternoon and a Tesult only five matches were completed, two in singles and three in doubles. In the singles William T. Tilden, ir., of Philadelphia was victar over Ro- land Roberts in a closely plaved con- test, the score being 4-6, 6-3, 8-6, and John S. Pfaffman of Harvard van- 1ed Dean Mathey at 6-3, 6-1. Watson M, Washburn Williams 2d, defeated and Francis T. o William M. John- 2 and Clarence J. Griffin took the asure of Dr. Willlam Rosenbaum und Hugh Tallant at 6-3, 6-4, and I. imagae and H. Mikami defeated Lo Boocock and R. H. Coffin, 6-1, 6-2 Mathey's defeat by Pfaffman was not such a surprise as might be sup- posed. For the past four weeks the former Princeton plaver has been learning to be a soldier at Plattsburg, ahd, as he expressed it, carrying forty- pound packs may harden the muscles, but it cuts down speed on the courts. Mathey arrived here from the camp carly vesterday morning and lack of practice was evidenced in his every stroke. The accustomed steadiness w wanting. Not so, however, in the case of Pfaffman. The Harvard play- er made comparatively few errors. He plaved good tennis, but could hardly beaten Mathey had the latter best ants. McLoughlin a ¥ Gu and R.

HUGHES CONTINUES - ATTACK ON WILSON Speaks i Hall Where He Was Nominated by 6. 0. P. Chicago, Aug. 9.—Charles E. Hughes last night told an audience in Chicago that crowded Chicago’s great coliseum—the hall where he was nominated for the presidency— what he would do if elected president of the United States. Mr. Hughes charged the present administration with waste, extravagance and vacilla- tion. He declared that it had not kept the country out of war but that 1t had fought an ignominous war in Mexico and withdrawn from that war ignominously. He charged the ad- ministration with having brought the country much nearer to participation in the European war than the coun- try would have been had the admin- istration “stood for American rights.” He declared that it was no more pos- sible to expect tariff protection to American industries from a demo- cratic congress than it would be to get “a revival sermon out of a dis- orderly house.” Democratic expenditures for rivers and harbors were attacked by the nominee. “I propose that we shall stop this pork business,” he said. “I propose that we shall have govern- ment in a businesslike way. We won’t have any more if I can stop it of | these “kiss me and I'll kiss you' ap- propriations in congress.”” The nom- inee said he stood for a ‘‘businesslike responsible Budget” based on facts. “I do not want any hot air in mine,” he added. The democratic party, Mr. Hughes said, was ap- proaching the idea of a protective tariff, “like a skittish horse to a brass band.” In 1912, he added, “the dem- ocratic platform had said in effect that a protective tariff was uncon- stitutional. They say in effect now [whether we want deeds; whether we want that which is written and spoken or whether we want American action in the interests of the Ame can people, worthy af the American name, maintaining the American honor and buttressing the prosperity | cf the United States. | “One of the very serious charges | J} which must be laid against the pres ent administration is the charge of putting incompetent men into impor- tant positions. That is not for the | benefit of democracy. And I now, in this place where I was naminated, without any regard to political future, say this: That if I am elected presi- | dent of the United States I propose that every man that I put in charge of an important department shall be a man eminently fit to discharge the | duties of that department. Will Choose Diplomats Weil, “TI propase that in diplomatic serv- | fco training shall count something. I propose that when a man goes from this country to represent the great American people in another nation— and I do not care whether it is a small nation or a big nation, for we want our influence in small and great—I | propose that that man shall be a wor- thy representative to whom the peo- ple whom he is accredited to will look with respect and esteem, secing in him the efficiency of the great United States. “I pointed out $ast night in my speech in Detroit the lamentable way | in which our diplomatic service had been denuded of men of experience in order to supply political jobs. I count that a capital offense. It is trading in the good name of the United States. It is honar the the United has a right to pay political debts with the good name and the honor of the United States. In Santo Domingo we had a special trust. We had taken | over the management of the finances cf that little pecple. We were there, the great United States, showing what this republic could do in a plain busi- ness proposition. “And now,-let me read some fami iar words, addressed to the receiver- general by the then secretary of state. He said this: “‘Now that you have arrived and ! sre acquainting vourself with the that the European war has changed the constitution of the United State: he continued. “But do you think they are converted? Don’t you trust them a little minute with protecting American industry. They haven’t got it in their bones. Mr. Hughes repeated much of his Detroit speech regarding the admin- istration’s Mexican policy. As to the administration’s foreign policy Mr. Hughes said: ‘“We have allowed our words to be eaten up by hesitation, by delay. We have some- how or other convinced the world that our talk is cheap.” Mr. Hughes spoke for nearly an hour. He entered a hall that was so jammed that even the steel cross girders were utilized for seats. The audience cheered him for five min- utes before he spoke. A brass band perched in a loft at the far end of the hall played three stanzas of the “Star Spangled Banner” during the demonstration, but the music was lost in the volume of other sound. The Speech. Mr. Hughes spoke, in part, low “I come to this hall with peculiar cmotions. Here, a little less than two months ago the republican national convention nominated me for the of- fice of president of the United States. I had not sought that nomination; I did not desire that nomination; I was contented with my work and looked forward to the fulfilling of the allotted period of life, in work that was congenial and of the high- est importance to the American people. But when that call came it did not admit of an instant’s hesita- tion. It meant but one thing: A summons to an obvious obligation; and, as I was, while on the bench, 100 per cent. a judge, I then became 100 per cent. a candidate. “I desired, if the American people so willed, to dedicate myself to the cause of American government, not for partisan expediency, not for friends, not for political supporters, but for the American people solely. 1 told the highest partisan expedien- cy to be an administration of ca- pacity for service to the country.” “If anything in this campaign f{s real it is that we are now facing the question whether we want words or as fol- Every Glass-- Every Bottle demonstrates anew the distinctive, pleasing taste of distinctive —ORDER TODAY— Our Brewery Bottling is a step ahead in the perfection bottling of the product of experts.

I do not know to what extent the knowledge of the Spanish lan- guage is necessary for emploves. Let me know what is requisite, together with the salary, and when appoint- ments are likely to be made.” “Shouid not every American hang bis head in shame that such a thing should occur in our highest depart- ment of government? Democratic Extravagance. Now there is another side that T wish to speak of with Tespect to a business- like administration. TFour vears ago the democratic party in its platform acoused the republican party of waste and extravagance. They said they were going to be econamical. When they got in, they were more wasteful and more extravagant than any ad- ministration had ever been. “We have today no conspectus, no examination in a critical and proper way of the demands upen the c¢rnment, such as any corporatior would expect. T am glad that the rc publican platform put forth a kevnote when it demanded a business-like re- sponsible budget and if I am elected president I propose to see, so far as cxecutive authority will permit, that we get rid aof this travesty of admin- istration and have a business-like bud- get by which we can understang what we ought to pay, what our compara- tive needs are, what our income is, 1o satisfy them, and by which respon- tible administration can be secured.
