New YORK, Sept. 28.-William Jen-
nings Bryan arrived at the hotel Bart.
holdi at 500 this afternoon. He was &C.
companied by committee from Tam
many hall, who had gone to Bridgeport,
Conn, to meet him. About 200 persons
cheered him at the hotel entrance and
he tipped his hat and smiled in
recognition. Bryan was evidently nurs-
ing his throat. as his collar was turned
up tightly. He went direct to his room
and there, later, dinner was served.
Bryan's attention was today called to
the burning Of the Burns factory
at Worcester, Mass, and to the sug-
gestion contained In the dispatches that
the building may have been set on fire by
someone who felt indignant at the
action of Burns last Friday in permitting
the hanging out of a red flag with
Bryan's picture on it. Bryan said;
"There's nothing that care to say on
the subject. l do not believe any advo-
cate Of free silver would do harm to
Burns or to his property. While Burns
action on Friday was not very courteous,
paid no attention to it, He had right
to decorate his building as he chose
even though the decorations might be
offensive to his political opponents, and
his neighbors have right to criticise
his actions il they see fit to do 20, But,
If any one has attempted to injure him
or his property, such q person ought to
be punished like any other violator Of
the law. No political reason can ex-
cuse an attack on person or property.
Our campaign Is campaign Of educa-
ton, and no true friend of the cause will
attempt to violate the law, no matter
how bitterly the gold standard people
may sssail us or our principles
Arthur Sewall, vice presidential candi-
date on the democratic ticket, arrived al
the AFifth venue hotel short time be-
fore Bryan reached the city. He parted
company with Bryan at New London,
Conn. Sewall will remain in town sew
eral days at least and will speak at the
Tammany ratification tomorrow night.
He will 60 west from this city to attend

Bryan bade farewell to New England
at New London at noon today, although
he added few words at New Haven,
the last stop in the Nutmeg state. At
New London Bryan found question
ers and for some time he carried on
dialogue with an elderly gentleman near
the speakers stand. The police we're
inclined to interfere at first, but Bryan
begged them to let his interrogation go on
with his questions as he would be glad
to reply to them. The crowd was with
Bryan and his answers we-e enthusias-
tically cheered. G. F. Williams followed
the nominees speech with short talk
in which he repudiated the action of the
Yale students, claiming that they did
not represent the citizens of Connecti-
cut.
Evidently New Haven wished to make
amends for the RECEPTION Bryan received
there last week, for the depot sheds cov-
cred mass OF enthusiastic humanity.
Bryan spoke to them only moment,
but in that moment he gave them an op-
portunity to disclaim any participation
in the riotous demonstration of the COL
legians.
There we're short stops made at
Bridgeport and Stamford, where several
hundred people had congregated, but
they were just long enough for the can
didate to shake hands with those near
est him. At Jersey City large crowd
cheered Bryan az he passed through the
station onto the ferryboat,
