 New York Nov. 3.-(SpeciaiI,I15n campaign now being waged in New York were serious results not likeiy would furnish the background ana foundation for one of the best come dies ever produced on the American stage.
 The New York political fight can just. ly be called contest between cnInso dignity and coarse bluster. During the past week William R. Hearst ana his b,usterous methods seem to havs gained more strength but even now ths curb brokers on Wall Street are lay ing odds of ? 2 and to on Charles F. Hughes. the Republican nominee
 There are hundreds of voters in New York who quietly inform their Irienos that they are going to vote for Hearst simply because he Is the Democratic nominee. but they are ashamed to make the fact public. Tammany boasts or its record as never scratching ticket and this alone will give Hearst many votes Then there are thousands of regular Democrats who openly assert that they will not vote for man like Hearst but will support the candidate of dignity and decency-a man whose record has never been questioned Many Southerners will vote for Hughes who never voted anything but the
  The amusing part of the campaign. however, Is the efforts of the campaign managers to make their candidates popular with the common people. Charles E. Hughes Is a quiet. austere. honest individual who knows not the meaning of the slang term hot air and has no idea of the proper method of telling a man of his delight at hearing that the voters baby boy has | recovered from the whooping cough or measles. When visitor drops In Mir. Hughes merely says Good morn ing" drums his long. bony fingers on 1 the desk and then can't think of word to say. Until last week he used lmpid hand shake and changed his clothes twice a day. That was entire- | ly too decent and dignifed for the Re- publican grooms around headquarters and they set to work to loosen up his habits.
 Republican headquarters four days ago: Hughes was standing in the | middle of the reception room shaking hands in regular turn with each of 1 the office employees. Lafayette Glea- son stood by and directed the opera ton. If Hughes grew a little tired Gleason would urge him on. Little l more life in that shake. Mir Hughes. Now put your hand gently on his 1 shoulder and ask him about the u
 state. l will keep you informed as
 where he came from" This proce
 kept up for two hours and Mir. Hugh
 was then pronounced ready to go O
 and try 1t on the people. He is in proving rapidly.
 When Hearst first entered New Tor | politics he was also of the austere kin but he has learned whole lot sine he first went to Congress. He is get ting to be as good handshaker as Jess stallings or Will Brandon of Ala bama and to help 1t along he wears plain but neat clothes Hearst has scored another advantage over Hughes by taking his wife and baby with him around the circuit. He makes little George Hearst dress in blue jeans over alls and allows him to play in the sand with children wherever the speak ing caravan stops. Little George is proving a great help to his father. Occasionally he whimpers for his lit- tie velvet suit. but Papa Hearst says. Georgia. it's overalls for you until | after November 6 and then my lad you may wear diamonds. With the united press against him Hearst is having a hard road to travel. | They continually pound him with car toons showing his past record and in practically every statement he makes there is chance to get back at him for something that he has said before. A rather remarkable argument be- ing used by the Republican papers ts the fact that Southern Democracy IS against Hearst and in favor of decency in New York politics. Every day The Evening Mail, The Evening Globe and Commercial Advertiser contain col umns of clippings from Southern Dem- ocratic newspapers advocating the "iec- tinn of Hughes.
