The candidates second meeting was at
City Hall Park, Manhattan. A platform
had been erected on the sidewalk opposite
the entrance to the brid ge n fully 5000
persons were around it when the candidates
automobile shot up at 2 O'Clock. The
throng covered the big space from the sub
way kiosks to the main walk across the
park and flowed out into the street. The
stairs leading to the bridge from the park
we're choked with people. Mr.; Hughes
was greeted with a roar that could be herd
blocks away. Only a small proportion of
the crowd was within reach of his over
worked voice. He renewed the PILED res
which he has made before in the campaign
to give a clean and honest government
at Albany and TO do his full duty by the
applause. There were one or two week
attempts from the outer fringe Of the
crowd to give a cheer for Hearst.
At Seward Park, East Broadway EnG
Jefferson street, a crowd Of 1000 was surg
ing around the platform when the c7ndi-
dates car pulled up. Try as they would
the police could not keep the enthusiasts
back and they closed in on thn CenjiGs te,

A short distance, probably a quarter Of a
block, from the platform where hr. Hughes
spoke il the Office Of the Jewish Daily
american, one of Mr.. Hearst's newspapers.
This was one of the places whore a few
Hearst supporters had gathered and were
doing their best to make a disturbance.
Fifty or a hundred boys were gathered in
front Of the office and they hooted as the
candidate drove by.
Another crowd Of more than 1000 was at
Hamilton Fish Park, about the same NUMBER
at Pitt and Grand streets and more than
$500 at Tompkins Square, Tenth street and
Avenue A. At all of these meetings the
candidate got a royal welcome. IL was
Mt the Hamilton Fish Park meeting that
Samuel Koenig, the Republican leader in
the Sixth Assembly district, took Mr.. Hearst
to task because Of the distribution OF cam
paign literature in the crowd. Leader
Eoenig resorted also to more practical
methods. He sent some of his husky
~lieutenants down into the GROVE with orders
TO put the Hearst distributors out. Then
the shower Of documents ceased. AT all OF
the East Side meetings Mr.. Hughes prom
ised TO enforce the child labor laws and the
tenement house laws and all the other
statutes affecting the wage earners OF the
State.
