Nebraskan, who last night slept on a
yacht in Gravesend bay, will not again
put foot on native soil until late this
afternoon, many of the welcomed le-
cations in town were early astir put
ting the finishing touches on their sew
eral and varied programs The wealth
er signs are not propitious.
Fortifies Physically.
1t was after o'clock this morning
when Bryan retired on board the yacht
lllini, but as 1T had been planned not
to disturb him early today. he took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to fortify
his physical powers against the fatigue
of tonight's meeting at Madison
Square garden. At the home of Lewis
Nixon at Stapleton, Staten Island,
where Bryan spent last evening with
personal friends, he appeared in robust
health. He has clear complexion, his
eyes shone and danced as he talked.

the evening. Just before he left to re-
embark for the night on the Illini he
expressed himself as grateful for the
kindness shown by President Roose-

by the chairman of the reception COM
mittee, Governor Folk of Missouri.
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN will be on
hand to extend a welcome on behalf
Of the city of New York. There will
be few moments devoted to hand
shaking. Bryan will then start on
short drive through the city. A ride
through the streets is designed to give
everybody a chance at least to see
him. Bryan will be driven to Madison
Square garden soon after 8 o'clock.
After spending the night aboard the
yacht Illini, Bryan today went aboard
Lewis Nixon's house boat, Loudoun
which was anchored off Stapleton, s
I. One of the early callers on Bryan
was Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, Of Cleve
land. Bryan will go aboard the Him
again this afternoon for luncheon and
at 8 o'clock the yacht will start for the
Battery and will land Bryan at
4 o'clock. After he left the Illini, the
yacht steamed UP the north river tc
the uptown pier, where Mrs Bryan
landed. She went to the Victoria no
tel to await Bryan's arrival this after
noon.
Elaborate Preparations.
Scores of workmen were in Madison
Square Garden early today arranging
the seats and decorations SO as to have
everything in readiness for the recep
ton tonight. A tremendous crowd is
expected and elaborate police arrange
ments for handling the people have
been made Chief Inspector Cort
