 Death of Mckinley Against
 Democratic Nominee.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Thc storm cen ter of political action in this state was transferred from the up state counties to the city of Greater New York, and from now until Nov. 6 both Charles E. Hughes and w. R. Hearst, Republican and Democratic.Independence league candidates respectively, will make their appeals to the voters of the metropoll- tan districts.
 The programmes arranged for them call for many speeches daily, and their vigorous and almost unprecedented campaigns will continue almost to the dawn of election day. Mir. Hearst has already returned to the city, and Mir. Hughes will arrive here today from Utica, where he closed hls up state campaign last night
 Secretary Root at Utica last night made tho only speech he will make in the present campaign. He spoke at the closing meeting of Mir: Hughes up state campaign, and his speech was an earnest appeal for the election of MT. Hughes. With the authority of Presi- dent Roosevelt, Mir. Root said, he as sured his hearers that the president greatly desired the election of Mir. Hughes as governor of New York.
 "I say to you" said Mir. Root, that he (the president regards Mr. Hearst as wholly unfit to be governor; that he considers Mir. Hearst's election would be an injury and discredit alike to honest labor and to honest capital.
 President Roosevelt and Mir. Hearst stand as far as the poles asunder. Lis ten to what President Roosevelt him. self has said of MT. Hearst and his kind. Tn President Roosevelt's first message to congress, in speaking of the assassin of Mckinley, he spoke of him d infamed by the reckless utterances of those who, on the stump and in the public press, appeal to the dark and evil spirits of malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred.
 "'The wind is sowed by the men who preach such doctrines, and they cannot escape the responsibility for the whirl- wind that is reaped. This applies alike to the deliberate demagogue, to the exploiter of sensationalism and to the crude and foolish visionary who. for whatever reason, apologizes for crime or excites aimless discontent.'
 T say by the presidents authority that in penning these words, with the horror of President McKinley's murder fresh before him, he had Mir. Hearst specifically in his mind. And say by his authority that what he thought of Mir. Hearst then he thinks of Mir. Hearst now"
 Characterizing MT. Hearst as vio- lent and unworthy demagogue and persistent ofIice seeker, MT. Root de clared that as congressman he had proved worthless public servant, that while protesting to favor an independ. ent judiciary he had made deal witt, Tammany Leader Murphy for the nomination of judiciary ticket in New York. that while inveighins against corporations his own corporate management shows inslncerity of his profession, that 1t is not calm and law. ful redress of wrongs which he seeks, but the turmoil of lnfiamed passions and the terrorism of revengeful force; that he is guided by selfish motives and that he Is mot guiltless of Me Kinley's death"
 "The immediate and necessary effect of MT. Hearst's election" said Mir. Root, "would be to deprive the presi. dent of the moral support of the state of New York, it would be to strength en the presidents enemies and oppo' nents and to weaken and embarrass him in the pursuit of his policy. Il would inevitably lead to a reaction against all true reform and genuine redress of grievances"
 Wueu MT. noOt baiu MT. hcdIst uck' lected his duties in congress man in the balcony cried out, That's a lie.'
 Instantly Mir. Root replied, Here are the records of congress to prove it. '
 As Mfr. Root was speaking of the Hearst assaults on President McKin ley and reading extracts from the Jour nal a man In the crowd on the stage jumped to his feet and shouted: ] q protest! Mckinley Is dead. Lei him rest! Iprotest"'
 The incident created wild confusion In the theater.
 Greater New York Is ablaze with DO litical enthusiasm. The Republican followers held more than a hundred meetings in as many different places and w. R. Hearst spoke to sixteen diff i ferent audiences between o'clock and midnight in Manhattan and the Bronx His chief address was made at Car
