friends. He wore a wide brimmed black
SLOUGH hat and a long cravenette. which
protected his frock coat and gray striped
trousers.
When his automobile had tipped across
the Williamsburg. Bridge it ran its hood
into a glare Of red fire which lit up the big

waved his hand to the crowd.
He made his first speech Of the evening at

crowd filed the street for a block in front
Of the hall and made it difficult for Mr..
Hearst to force his way into the rink.
Husky policemen formed a V and made a
way for him. The crowd at the rink was
made up mostly OF Williamsburg working
men and there were very few women pres.
ent. Something over 100 people heard
the speech.
II WAS an audience extremely friendly
to Mr.. Hearst, and when he started right
in roasting William F.. Sheehan, District

struggled out Of the hall and many grabbed
his Hand. Finally the police guard prac,

carried him to his automobile. The red
fire was burning again and gave the crowd
a good chance to see the candidate as ne
