L 14—A HUGHES BELIEVES " VICTORY ASSURED Delivers Speeches in Hudson Valley and in Brookliynn. in Brooklyn. AGAIN ON BOYHOOD GROUND New York, Nov. 4—Charles E. Hughes wound up his 28,000-mile presidential campaign tour with six- teen strenuous hours of campaigning yesterday down the Hudson river val- ley and in Brooklyn. The nominee de- \livered njne speeches starting at 8:45 o'clock in the morning, and did not reach his hotel until after midnight last night. Tomorrow, the last day of his cam- paign, was to have been a day of rest with a big rally at Madison Square Garden at night. Instead it will be a whirlwind day of more speaking in New York City. When the nomi- nee arrived here tonight he found that the national committee had speeded up the campaign so that he will spend virtually the entire afternoon tour- ing the city. Five speeches are on his program. Confident of Victory. In almost every speech today and tonight the nominee told his audi- ences of victory next Tuesday. He told ghem there were little he could say with regard to the issues of the campaign. On his trip down the Hud- son river valley he made the tariff one of the chief themes of his speeches; here tonight he spoke chief- ly of Americanism, “Let me say to you,” he told the audience in Brooklyn, the last he ad- dressed tonight, “that if I am elected president as I expect to be”—he got no further for the moment. A man in the gallery yclled: “You will be.” The entire audience rose and roar- ed its approval of the interruption, waving hundreds of American flags. America’s Interest Supreme, s “If T am elected president,” the nominee continued, “we shall have an American administration with ex- clusively American policies without any deflection to serve any other interests. Supreme must be America’s interests in the thoughts of the Amer- ican people and supreme will be America’s interests in an administra- tion in my charge.” «In his tour through Brooklyn to- night, Mr. Hughes campaigned over round familiar to him as a boy. The irst meeting he addressed in the Green Point section was within three blocks of the Union Avenue Baptist church where his father once was pastor. The streets through which he passed were those on which he had played as a boy, he told the audi- ence and familiar faces were among _those who heard him. . Welcome Home Best of All " “I Have had many a generous wel- ¢ome and many a manifestation of enthusiasm on my long trip,” he de- | elared, “but best of all is the welcome bome.” .. The second meeting of the evening z:l in the Brownsville section, a district which his advisers told him strongly socialistic in its politics, ¢ the streets were choked. Traffic was blocked and the services of more than fifty policemen were necessary 1o get the nominee's car through the cnlwlwdl and to the entrance of the At this meeting, Mr. Hughes reiter- ated his endorsement of the republi- can platform plank, declaring for a treaty with Russia that will recognize vance in freight rates was give out the land and by 9 o’cloc vanced and before the sun had ties of life. .

I do not mean that they were insincere. 1 simply mean that what they think the right of expatriation. The audi- ence cheered this more than any other utterance. Pdsses House Where Wedded. The third address of the evening as at Kismet ‘hall. On his way ere the nominee passed the house in which he was married. Here again he found all space in the hall crowded with an audience that had waited two hours to hear him and hundreds standing in the street. . . "It has been my good fortune dur- ing the last few weeks to speak in many states,” Mr. Hughes said, “and everywhere there has been manifesta- tion of a deep ratriotic feeling of intense interest of our vital concerns, but there is something about the gen- erosity of ‘this welcome in my native state, which I had the good fortune 1o serve four years that makes it more gratifying to me than any .other wel- come could possibly be, “I hope and expect that next Tues- day we shall have a tfiumphant vic- tory in both nation and state.” +Met By Collegians, The Hughes' special reached New York fifteen minutes late and was met at Grand Central station by a delegation of hundreds of members of the Hughes' College Men's league, sarbed for parade and equipped with every noisemaking device. They filed through the runway leading to his train, escorted him to his car and then fell in behind, waving flags and toot- ing horns. ‘The big concourse of the station was crowded and the nominee was cheered as he made his way to his car. Mr. Hughes expects to remain in the city till after election. He will receive the returns at the hotel in which he has made his headquarters here since his nomination, Makes Five Speeches. Mr. Hughes ended his travels as a %.esid:ntial candidate here = tonight. e nominee spent the day journey- ing down the Hudson river valley from Albany. He deliveréd five speeches on the way and after his ar- rival here addressed three meetings in Brooklyn. In his day speeches Mr. Hughes spoke chiefly on the tariff and the maintenance of American rights abroad. He also assailed the'admini- stration for broken promises with re- ect to the reduction of the cost of ing, the observance of the merit system in making appointments, the maintenance of Amegican rights road and economy in the expenses f the government, ~Conditions which industry in the United States will face at the close cause for “serious consideration by every student of our affairs.” Must Look Out for Headache. “We want to look out that we do not have a headache coming to us in near future,” the nominee told an ce at Newburgh, “because there e quite a number of things that we carefully consider.” f the war were characterized as| g the chief of et u;ll:,ed :ommerci}lh fitted American life does not work with it.” Tariff Body Not Legislative. Mr. Hughes said he asked his op- ponents what they were going to do about safeguarding American industr and they replied that they had a tariff commission. A tariff commission he continued did not pass laws. “I do not blame them,” he said, “for their continued adherence to the old policy which through the gen- erations they have maintained and the doctrine which in platform after plat- form they have asserted. I really ina sense admire their tenacity and the way in which they ignore the facts of life in their constancy of spirit.” 1t was no time Mr. Hughes declared for his political apponents to be sensi- tive about criticism. 1 “We are taking account of stock,” he said in his Newburgh speech, “Our opponents seem to be a little sensi- tive about the stock taking. They seem to have the idéa that there ought not to be any criticism of the admini- stration. Well, we woufll not do very well in American life under our insti- tutions if we went ahead in that way. We want fair criticism. We want candid criticism, but we must conserve the honor of the American name.” Not Policy of Bnnlnl.l The . policy which jwould conserye the honor o{the American name and result in upholding Americans riglLts wg& not the policy of braggarts, he said, “We have not the slightest desire to o through the world braggarts, oasters,” he said. “We have not any desire to stimulate ill feeling by a truculent attitude. What we want to show is this: That in a world of keen rivalry and excellent understand- ings, we constantly stand erect as al nation having courage and the in- domnitable spirit which our ancesters showed when they ablished their government, our later fathers showed when they preserved the integrity, of the nation; that we are a land devoted | to justice, that we“are intent in a courteous way upon maintaining our national honor and that the rights of American citizens on iand and sea throughout the world will in all events be mainfained.” No Prouder Title. If young Americans were to go forth as the advance guard of Ameri- can enterprise Mr. Hughes said in his Kingston speech, “it must be under- stood throughout the world that there is no prouder title than that ofAmeri- can citizen and that the Américan flag protects men lawfully doing their work wherever they may be.” Mr. Hughes spoke at Hudson, King- ston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh and Yonkers, Crowds greeted him at| each stop. At each place many sought to hear the nomines unsuccessfully for lack of room at meeting halls.” &t Harmon where the special stopped to | pletion of negotiations with the Rus- change engines, groups of railroad men in overalls left their engines to gather. around the rear platform of his car. They cheered him and several shouted that they were going to vote for him. Others wished him good luck. In his Newburgh . speech Mr. Hughes declared that he would deal faithfully with each problem, if elected, and seek its reasonable solu- tion. All that is Worth While. “All that is worth while in this life,” he said, “is the opportunity to serve to the best of one’s ability. While I can not tell what the special exigencies of coming years may be I propose, so far as in me lies, if you in- vest me with executive authority, to deal with each problem faithfully ac- cording to its merits and solve it as judgment and conscience may re- quire.” Mr. Hughes will remain here till after election. He will receive the re- turns election night at the uptown hotel he has made his city head- quarters since his nomination. When Mr. Hughes’ train arrived in this city, he was greeted at the station by 500 members of the Hughes Col- lege Men's league. The delegation formed an escort for him to his hotel. The nominee was cheered by sidewalk crowds along the way-and he fre- quently bowed his acknowledgements, “I am deeply touched by this splen- did reception,” Mr. Hughes said when he reached his' hotel. “I come back home pretty sure the fight is won.” Russia Borrows Fifty Millions of New York Syndicate B New York, Nov. 4—~The com- sian government for a $50,000,000 fifty-year 5% per cent loan by a banking syndicate, headed by ~ the National City comparty, which is con- trolled, by the National City bank, brings 'the total borrowings here of foreign countries, with the exception of South America, to gnore than $2,000,000,000. Negotiations for the present Rus- sian loan covered a period of more than three months and at one time, it is said, a loan of as high as $150,- 000,000 was considergd by American bankers, The formér Russian loan established a credit in this country for $50,000,000, which was to run for three years. Simultaneously the Russian government established in Petrograd a credjt of $150,000,000 in favor of the banking group, at a fixed ratio of 3 rubles to $1. Part of the present loan, it is un- derstood, will be used in paying for a portion of $50,000,000 railroad equip- ment order placed with American manufacturers about two months ago. Associated with the National Cit company in the negotiations are jy P. Morgan, the Guarantee Trust com- pany, Kidder, Peabody & Co., and Lee Higginson & Co. The loan will be a direct obligation of the imperial Russian government. Among the de- tails yet to be completed is the price at which the loan will be offered to the public. The yield on the last loan was a little more than 6% per cent. = source comes ment of the BITT velops. It is for Po .

OVER 300 ELECTORAL VOTES | Chicago, Nov. 4—Western repub- lican and democratic national head-| quarters today closed the presidential | campaign in the territory between Ohio and the Pacific coast and n:arlyJ all the department heads left for their | homes to vote next Tuesday. | Alvin T. Hert, manager of the west- | ern rcpublic\n headquarters, issucd; the following statement: | “It is my belief, and that of all the | other members of the western repub- | lican campaign committee, that| Hughes and Fairbanks will have | many more than 300 votes in the elec- | toral college. “It is with the utmost confidence that_the result on Tuesday, Novem- ber 7, is awaited at the national head- quarters in Chicago.” Harold L. Ickes, who has been iu chargg of work among the progres- sives at western republican rational headquarters, made this statement: How Vote Divides “Such part of the progressive vote of 1912 as will go to 'Mr. Wilson will be largely the vote of men who were democrats before they became progressives. Reports that come to me from all through the west show that from 85 to 95 per cent of the progressive vote of 1912 will be cast this year for republican candidates. This means success for Hughes and Fairbanks.” 4 Senator Thomas J. Walsh, manager of western democratic headquarters, issued ‘the following statement: “Wilson will be re-elected by a greater popular vote than has ever eretofore been given a presidential candidate, “Two conditions impress them- selves upon the mind of every one who has followed the campaign, namely, that an enormous number of republicans will vote for Wilson and only a negligible number of demo- crats will vote for Hughes. Independent Vote. “As to the independent vote, so far as it has been vocal at all, it is for Wilson. The labor vote s for Wilson. Among voters of foreign birth a sur- prisingly large number are for Wil- son, as high as 90 per cent in the case of Bohemians, Poles and other citizens of Slavic origin. The Scandinavians are particularly friendly to the presi- dent. The German defections, onr which so many hopes for Hughes were built, has practically faded away. “From republican sources admis- sions are made that the republican majority will be cut 40,000 to 50,000 in each of the states of lowa, Minnesota and Michigan. Peace and prosperity are patent facts. Not a dent has been made in the obvious argument these offer for the re-election of the. presi- dent.” Hot Springs Takes the Game. Rapld City, 8.
