ENDS HIS UPSTATE CAMPAIGN
MR. HUGHEs TO BEGIN STRENU-
OI'S WORK IN THIS CITY.

Charles Z. Hughes ended his upstate
campaign yesterday, arriving in this city
at Q O'Clock in the evening. His trip down
from Utica was notable chiefly for the
evidence which former State Chairman
odeIl gave OF bis good vii toward the
Hughes candidacy.
Two weeks ago, when the Hughes train
stopped at Newburgh on it's run up State,
there wasn't a sign Of Odell or any crowd
at the station. This circumstance led to re-
ports that the former chairman was not
al all enthusiastic over the Hughes candi-
dacy and that the Republican vote in Orange
county would probably fall below the nor
NAL figures.
Mr. OdoIl made good yesterday. There
isn't any doubt about that. He not only
turned out at the station with IN immense
crowd. but he assured Mr.. Hughes that
Orange county will give him a majority
OF over 1000 The Higgins figures In Orange
county were about $500
The first intlmation that Mr.. Hughes had
Of a stop at Newburgh was when he got a
telegram at Catskill from the State COM
mittee notifying him hat the people Of that
city wanted to see him. A great cheer went
UP as the train pulled into the Newbursh
station, and former Chairman Odell himself
scrambled up the rear platform steps tefore
the train had come to a standstll.
Il am glad to see you, Governor was
Mr.. Huehes's greeting. and the two shook
hands. Then without further prelimi-
naries the former chairman stepped out
and said;
Ladies and gentlemen. Charles f.
Hughes, our next Governor"

the train, but many couldn't begin to get
within hearing distance. The platform
was covered with people, and the steps
leading up 20 the street were banked high,
while many had sought vantage points on
the roof Of the station and in the indows
Of the buildings on each side of the tracks.
With Odell standing on the platform
with him. Mr.. Hughes said this among
other things:
L did not seek the ncuinaticn. There
il great honor and distinction competed
with the Office Of Governor Of this State,
but il is what a Governor does in the in
terest OF the people that confers honor
and distinction. ] have no aXes to grind.

desire, il I am elected Governor, TO he the
Governor for all the people of the State
Of New York and to give them a square
deal"
Mr.. Hughes was cheered heartily a second
time when he had finished speaking. Then
VI. Linn Bruce, Mr., Hughes running
mate, who had boarded the train at Cstshill,
said a few words. Mr.. Odell before leaving
the train said this 10 Mr.. Hughes;
Il am sorry | didn't know you were COM
ing through Newburgh on your way up.
We could have done better for you"
Mr.. Hughes complimented the former
Governor on the big gathering.
Besides the Newburgh speech, Mr. Hughes
made addresses in Schenectady and Cats i'll
on his trip down. He spoke before three
a audiences in the former place, aggregat-
ing more than 5000 people.
Mr.. Hughes arrived in Schenectady at
$50 O'Clock in the morning that is, he
arrived at the South Schenectady station
on the West Shore Railroad, which il about
four miles from the centre Of the city. The
local arrangements for taking care of the
Hughes party we're miserable. Two auto
mobiles. loaded down 10 the limit, bore
away about half Of the party, including the
candidate. The other half were left to
shift for themselves or wait until the autos
could run into the city and return. The
leftovers jumped a combination freight
and passenger train on the Delaware and
Hudson road. but got held up by "A wreck.
They finally caught up with the candidate
after walkin z q mile or so over a muddy
road.
