YALE RESPECTFUL THIS TIME
Completion of the New Jersey
Tour..RooseVeIt's Visit to
New York.

New Haven, Conn. Oct. 27.-Bryar
left New York this morning, reaching
here at IL o'clock. He spoke at the
Second regiment armory to a large
assem- blage, including many Yale
students. There was no unfriendly
demonstration such as made remark
able Bryan's visit here four years
ago, when the students broke up the
open air meeting.
New York, Oct 21.-Hon. William
}. Bryan yesterday concluded his cam
paign tour of the state of New Jersey.
The day was given up to section of
Jersey which is populated largely by
people who do business In New York
city. The tour Was made over the
Delaware and Lackawanna railroad,
the most distant point touched being
Dover. forty miles south of New York.
The other towns at which speeches
were made Were HOboken, Harrison,
Orange. Summit, Morristown, Boonton,
Paterson, BelleviIle and Newark, three
speeches being made at the latter
place. In reality Bryan'S Thursday
work extended into yesterday, for he
did not retire yesterday morning until
about = O'clock, and one of the pleas
ATTEST occasions of the night was the
last of the series.
When he reached his hotel in Hobo
ken, after his carriage tour of the
city, he found about 500 German citi-
zens awaiting his arrival. They in
sisted upon rendering Kim n serenade.
and sang several OF the songs OF the
Fatherland in a way that delighted
the presidential candidate, nOtwith
standing he is unfamiliar with the
language in which the songs are writ
ten. Bryan referred frequently yes
tcrday in private conversations to this
episode, showing that his appreciation
of it was very strong.
At the conclusion Of his series OF
meetings in Newark last night Bryan
expressed himself as highly gratitied
with the Jersey campaign. Bryan will
make brief run into Connecticut to-
day. speaking at New Haven and
Bridgeport, but will return in time to
participate in the meeting of the Demo
cratic clubs in New York city tonight.
Bryan made the longest stop of yes
terday at Dover. forty miles out of
New York. He spoke at that pl1cesfor
about an hour and addressed Il large
crowd, which listened to him atten-
lively, Notwithstanding Il light rain
was falling at the time he spoke.
Bryan's Paterson meeting was IN
some respects the most nota BILE of the
day. and the street exhibition was eX-
ceptiOnal He was conducted from the
railroad station to the court house In
an open carriage, a distance of mile
or more through the principal streets,
ana received an ovation from one end
of the route tn the other. Most of the
houses were decorated with flags and
bunting. and the windows apparently
almost without exception Were filled
with women who vigorously fluttered
handkerchfefs and small flags at the
candidate as he rode by, cheering
heartily all the time. The crowd in
the street was very enthusiastic. and
when the speaking took place Bryan
encountered n very ocean of human
beings.
The scene when Bryan entered the
Kruger auditorium in Newark was Il
thrilling one. The big building was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
when the candidate entered all those
present began a tumultuous shout All
carried small flags and waved them
vigorously. They did not cease this
demonstration until Bryan arose and
raised his hand as Il token that he de-
sired TO proceed. Then as if by magic
the tumult ceased and all listened in
the utmost silence except for occasion
al bursts of hearty applause.
Bryan closed his auditorium speech
with an appeal for fair treatment for
the FilipinoS When he finished on
the inside OF the building he found
on the outside a congregation ten
times as big as had listened to him
within the building. He was compelled
to make speech there and after that
effort he proceeded to base ball park,
where he made the last address of the
night. closing shortly before midnight.
He arrived at the Hoffman House at
1920 this morning. He was in ex-
