Charles +. Hughes invaded Brooklyn
last night. speaking At three campaign
meetings and at a reception held In his
honor at the Union League Club. Mr..
Hughes's our was one round OF applause
and cheers almost from tho time he left
home in an automobile until he said good
night, shortly before II o'clock. 20 his hosts
at the Union League Club.
Mr.. Hughss's principal meeting Of the
night was at Prospect Hall. In Prospect
avenue, South Brooklyn. From the moment
his machine turned from Fifth avenue into
the fare OF red light in front Of the hall
until he wal lost to sight again the candi-
date was in a turmoil OF enthusiasm. This
overflow from the ball struggled to get up
to his automobile and refused to be salts
fed with Mr.. Hughes's acknowledgment
Of their greeting.
The candidate was late, and had no time
for an ont OF door speech, so, taking his
chances, he plunged into the throng,
guarded on sither side by two husky cop

for tremendous applause. The South
Brooklyn band had been playing W Won't
Go Home Till Morning. all the evening.
and il started afresh with the arrival Of
the candidates -. Hundreds Of small flags
themselves hoRrse.
Mr.. Hughes in his Prospect Hall speech
started IN a new tack. In his previous
speeches no had not mentioned Mr.. Hearst's
name. Last night he not only brought
Hearst's name into his utterances. but he
went after him in a personal way harder
than he has on any other occasion. He
reviewed from beginning to end one Of
the suits which had been brought sgainst
Hearst for damages, but which was blocked
because Mr.. Hearst had organized the
concerned in the case into a
corporation.
Mr.. Hughes asked with sarcasm, which
made the crowd how with delight, what
the sincerity or political morality OF any man
was who will talk indiscriminately about
corporations and then Use them in his own
business to shield him from liability. Mr..
Hughes characterized the attempt OF Hearst
to abuse all corporations as an effort to fool
the people, and the crowd shouted its ap-
proval.
I'VE don't want a government by head
lines declared the candidate, and the
response came back from many parts Of the
hall. That's right. Charley, We dOn'tl'
Mr.. Hughea,a- speech at Prospect Hall
was by all odds the best that he has yet
delivered. 1t caught the crow just right,
and even0when he was carefully quoting
long legal opinions they listened with the
greatest attention.
It was when Mr.. Hughes had finished and
was leaving the platform, though, that
the B~rOOklynites in Prospect Hall showed
they were with him heart and sOul. Mr..
Hughes had started down the centre aisle
toward the door.
Three cheers for Charles T.. Hughes"
shouted a strong hinged individual in the
front row. But before the cheers were
out a hundred or more persons. many Of
them women, had surrounded the candi-
date and Chairman Woodruff. They
grabbed Mr.. Hughes by the coat. Others
rushed in and insisted on shaking the candi-
dates hand.
The policemen who were guarding him
were helpless. Mr.. Hughes halted and
held a reception. while Congressman Will
lam NJ. Calder. who was presiding, gave
I'D trying to call the meeting to order.
II was several minutes before the police
were able 10 clear the way, and then the
cheering enthusiasts lined up on either
side Of the aisle, the candidate passing
down and shaking with both hands at the
same time.
That was a sample Of the reception which
Mr.. Hughes got at the other meetings which
he attended, one at the Young Mems Repub-
lican Gu in the johnson Building and the
other in a tent at Broadway and Chauncey
street. Here is Mr.. HuGhes's Fro poet
Hall speech:
