BUFFALO, Oct. SI.--W. r. Hearst finished
his upstate campaigning tonight in this
city, speaking at six large and enthusiastic
meetings. In all to-day Mr.. Hearst made
gwelve speeches. besides doing a lot OF
handwriting and mixing. IL was about
the most strenuous day he has put In since
he started his candidacy for Governor.
MIR. Hearst was intensely interested as
20 the reception he would get in this city.
He considered that a good deal depended
on the success or failure Of the final Buff
falo demonstration. II WAS apparent that
he was highly satisfied with the outcome.
Norman +. Mack practically managed the
demonstration. meeting Mr.. Hearst at the
depot with his automobile and going with
the candidate 70 several meetings. IL was
said here that Mack put i'm some real work
toward giving Hearst a satisfactory re-
ception.
Mr.. Hearst got here at 80 o'clock this
evening. In the delegation which Mr..
Mack led to welcome Mr.. Hearst were
Col. ole l.. Snyder, John J. Kennedy, Robert
G.. Titus, Charles +. Tabor and fifty or more
others. There was a good sized crowd
at the railroad station when the Hearst
special pulled in aud a, cheer was raised
when Mr.. Hearst, Mr.. Mack and the
others got into automobiles and started
for the first meeting.
In st. Bridget's Hall. on the east side
Of Buffalo. Mr.. Hearst addressed a crowd
Of 900 or more Irish and Poles. Mr.. Hearst
said nothing particularly new in the speech
he made at 81. Bridg cts Hall or at any
Of the other meetings. He OLD the crowd
that Mr.. Hughes should not get angry be-
cause some Of the men who we're support
ing the Republican candidate were attacked.
but that il he really believed IL was unfair
TO say hard things about Senator Patrick
II. McCarren or Strikebreaker Farley,
then Mr.. Hughes should come out and de-
fend them.
Principally he argued on the side OF his
own sincerity and honest intentions. say
ing that people should drop party Affiliations
and understand clearly that the men he
was fighting were the men who have been
robbing the people for years.
Wherever he went Mr.. Hearst never
failed to get applause when he used his
favorite phrases; this, for instance: MIR.
Hughes asks scornfully, II Abraham Lin
coin were here, would he be for Hearst?' l
say that is not the questionat all, but that
II Abraham Lincoln were here, Hearst
would be for Lincoln"
From ST. Bridget's Mr.. Hearst automo-
billed TO Schwartzmeir's Hall. He had TO
climb three flights Of stairs and make his
way through a narrow hallway that wa
dangerously crowded. The audience was
90 big hat it overlooked into three or four
large rooms that opened onto the hall. In
all nearly 2 200 people listened to the candi-
date, and there was a large crowd outside.
AT Dom PoAski, also on the East Side,
another disappointed crowd in the street.
Most Of Mr.. Hearst's hearers were laboring
men.
The fourth meeting that Mr.. Hearst adj
dressed on the East Side was at Kahabka's
Hall. Teutonia Park. A dancing pavilion
was TANNED and Mr.. Hearst had to fight his
way through to the stage. There were
800 OF more in the pavilion, end they gave
the candidate a reception similar TO that at
the other meetings.
On the West Side Mr.. Hearst spoke at
Annunciation Hall 20 more than 200. He
then d hove to the Garden Theatre, at Pearl
and Niagara streets, where he got the
biggest and liveliest reception OF the night.
There may have been 1000 people crowded
into the theatre. National Committeeman
Norman E.. Mack called the meeting to
order and turned il over to Philip A. LANG
as chairman. At the theatre meeting Mr..
Hearst sailed in with his new style Of ora
tory-the slambang style.
After the speeChmaking Norman +.
Mack and other Democrats. gave Mr.. Hearst
a reception At the Hotel Lafayette. County
Chairman Coatsworth-concerning whom
Mr.. Hearst said on his former trip 10 Buffalo,
"A person named Coatsworth came to see
me, bat | had neither the time nor the in
81 nation to listen to him'-did not attend
any of the meetings and did not show HIM
self at the reception.
Mr.. Hearst h in good trim physically,
except that &is voice ia worn to a ragged
edge. He expects to round out a long
- - 49, - H.
in Greater New York. and will address ten
meetings tomorrow night in Manhattan
and The Bronx.
william r. Hearst travelled through
Monroe, Orleans. Niagara and Erie counties
this afternoon by special train, making
speeches and shaking hands with the resi-
dents Of the apple section. day was
cold and there was several inches of snow
on the ground wherever the candidate
went. Despite the raw weather crowds
we're at every depot where the train stopped
and in halls, where the candidate made more
formal speeches.
Mr.. Hearst be rely escaped being made
ridiculous by a collection OF nho
shoutcrs, called the flying wedges" that
hsvebeen trailing along after him. getting a
free ride. free grub and free cigars on his
train. As far as anybody can learn they

make an occasional silly talk in behalf OF
-orga nized labor" dodge work and have
q good time at the ex pense OF the candidate.
The crowds at station platforms listened
to Mr.. Hearst cordially and attentively,
but they roared with laughter whenever
one Of ne flying wedge" bunch would get
of something like this
~You had better vote for Hearst, be-
caus4 II you don't you won't get another
chance"
The candidates. voice was in poor shape
to-day and he avoided s~peechmaking
whenever possible. Usually he had TO make
good, because John Ford, who is acting as
nnderstudy for the star in place OF Shearn,
didn't seem TO make a hit. The jokers in
the audiences handed it to Ford whenever
possible. At Brockport, for instance, speak
ing from the observation end OF Hearst's
car, Ford got thiso on:
Il consider this mar Hearst TO be the
most unselfsh and neutrality-suspicious.
Iyells OF laughter from the crowd man /
ever knew"
At MiddlepOrt j was Ford's luck 70 get
another lemon. Mr.. Hearst stepped onto
the platform behind Ford while the under
study was performing. Ford didn't know
that Mr.. Hearst had cofne out, and when
the crowd set up a cheer for Hearst Ford
gratefully accepted the tribute as for him
