Hoboken's Criminal Officials
Order Down Mckinley
Banners to Spare
Bills Feelings.

Many wild rumors were a1oat IN Ho-
boken this morning about Candidate
Bryan's coming to the city this after
noon. Some had 1t that Bryan would
stop at Newark, and go through Jersey
City to the ferry. Another rumor, which
caused much excitement, was to the eff
feet that the employees of the D. L. & w.
had purchased a Mckinley banner and
would attempt to raise it just as Bryan
stepped from the car. It was said that
the banner was already at hand and ly-
ing furled in a convenient place.
When Chief of Police Donovan heard OF
this, he said that no attempt to insult
Mr.. Bryan would be tolerated by the po-
lice. and intimated that the banner rais-
ing would be stopped
Shortly after this, Patrolman Wheelock
who patrols the ferry entrance, found
that two Mckinley banners had been
raised within the hour between 1880 and
Il:30. One banner was hung inside the
u. Il. & w. depot and one outside. Who
strung the banners up is not known. The
banners were ordered taken down.
At the D. L. & W. Offices Superinten-
dent Reasoner's secretary said there was
no change in the programme of Bryan 8
trip as far as he knew. Chief Donovan
announced that he would have thirty no
lcemen at the station in case Bryan
comes by way of Hobeken, as trouble is
expected.

word from Newark that a scheme was on
root to make counter demonstration
