HUGHES TO VISIT PRESIDENT.
He Will Discuss Politics With Him,
It is Asserted.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1-Governor-
elect Hughes informed his friends today
that he had accepted an invitation from
President Roosevelt to visit the President
at the White House soon after the Senate
and House of Representatives got under
way. 1t was therefore announced that
Mr. Hughes will leave for Washington in
the latter part of the week. 1t was learned
tonight from Republicans that there has
been something like positive objections to
Mr.. Hughes visiting President Roosevelt,
and that these objections have come from
the anti Roosevelt and the anti-Higgins
republicans in the senate organization.
publicans said tonight: Hughes will
make the mistake Of his life If he makes
that visit to Roosevelt"
Just how Hughes was to make the mis-
take of his life by visiting President
Roosevelt the directors did not explain.
Mr.. Hughes friends replying to these crit
icisms said that it was very natural that
MIR Hughes should visit President Roose-
welt. for the reason that it was the Presi-
dent and the Presidents friends in the re-
publican state organiza ton who had
brought about his nomination for governor
For the first time in the history of the
republican state organization there is no
republican leader or boss. There are half
a dozen county leaders, whose names are
still well known in the party, but accord
ing to republicans of repute IL these is any
republican leader of the state 1t is Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself. and after Mr..
Hughes visit to Washington Mr.. Hughes,
1t was asserted, will return as the chief
representative of President Roosevelt In
thu Pn>aidaut's own atate of New York.

BROOKLYN TERMINAL LINE
Discontinued on the Plea of Fire
Danger.
DISCRIMINATION IS CLAIMED

the Facts.
DISCRIMINATION IS CLAIMED

NEW YORK, December david F.
Davis CT the complaining firm Of Preston
& Davis resumed his testimony at the
hearing before the interstate commerce
commission which is investigating a charge
that the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad Disseminated against indie
pendent oil dealers in Brooklyn.
He said that while the terminal used to
be kept clean formerly, In recent years it
was allowed to become Uttered with an
accumulation of inflammable materials. He
said that the nearest plant of the Standard
Oil Company was two miles away.
w. S. Jenney of counsel for the railroad
company cross-examined Mr.. Davis. His
firm was buying oil today, Mr.. Davis said,
from a special agent Of the Standard Oil
Company. He was first told by Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western employee in
1903 that the Standard Oil was urging on
the railroad company's traffic depar tment
the enforcement of the trunk line agree
ment prohibiting the delivery of Oil in tank
cars in New York city, but Mr.. Davis said
he was given to understand that the rail-
road company would stand by his firm.
Mr. Davis said his company had friction
with the Standard Oil Company constantly
for sixteen years.
No Conspiracy Charged.
Mr. Jenney for the defense asked the
commission IL he would be expected to put
in answer to the charge that there was a
conspiracy between the Standard OIL Com
pany and the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western to put the compliments out of
business.
There is no allegation to that effect in
the complaint" said Chairman Knapp
But 1t has been stated here by Mr..
Davis. I would like to know If it will be
necessary to call the officials Of the road to
show that the Standard Oil had nothing to
do with the action of the railroad" said
Mr.. Jenney.
well we won't make any ruling Of that
point now, said Chairman Knapp.
General Manager Ketcham of the Della
ware and Lackawanna testified that he had
advised the discontinuance of the delivery
of Oil cars after he had seen the spilled oil
and observed the method Of unloading 1t
was not until after the big Hoboken fire
that he had his first interview with Mr..
Davis
II took the position that 1t was danger

Royal Albert Hall, to it's feet, and the fam

with the greatest difficulty repeated a verse
of Comm Through the Rye" Earlier in

Doubt on Statement.

Evans, turnkey of the jail, cast doubt
on Gillette's statement that the watch
which he had worn when he fell into the
water had stopped at ten minutes past six,
thereby setting the exact time of the acct
dent. Evans had received Gillettes watch
when he had come as a prisoner into the
Jail and testified that when he got it the
timepiece running Gillette's testi-
mony gave no record of the watch having
been repaired at any time. Sheriff Rich
ards testimony was in regard to the for
nation of the land near the point where
Gillette is said to have landed and corrobo-
rated that of the under sheriff.
1t is probable that the summing up of
the case will begin Monday afternoon or
late Monday morning. Most of Monday
mornings session will have to be given up
to the formation of the November term
of the grand jury, which convenes then,
and the case should go to the jury some
time Tuesday afternoon.
