WESTON HURTS KNEE.
Bad Roads AIIO10 HIM to Walk
OnlY ThrtY-One Miles.

Utica, n. Y, Nov, s-Edward Payson Weston. the
pedestrian who at the age of sixty-nine years is
walking from Portland. Me, TO Chicago, over the
same route which he covered in 1867, arrived here
at 625 o'clock this evening. He had come from ST.
townsville. thrty-one miles east OF here this morn
ing. this comparatively short journey having been
made necessary by the condition of the roads. He
fell just of Little Falls and wrenched his knee,
but by the time he reached Utica the pain had
gone.
AT Herltimer Weston discarded pair of shoes
which he bought twenty-eight years ago and
bought a pair. Walking in these caused his
blister for the first time since he left Port
land. A great crowd Of people accompanied him
through the streets of the city, and when he
reached Bagg's Hotel where he stopped, there
were thousands there TO cheer him. He went i'm
medately to his and ate hearty supper
there. He then retired and will take to the road
again at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Weston plans to reach Syracuse tomorrow night
going by way of Vernon and Oneida Castle. He
told the newspaper that his muscles not
at all tired, but that he felt the loss of sleep very
much. Despite this fact. only the urgent entreates
of those accompanying him induced him to remain

NO JERSEY RECOUNT.
Hudspetk Says 1t Mdy Be Only an

Robert S. Hudspeth, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, said yesterday that he
had nothing new to say concerning a proposed
reGEunt OF the vote cast for Governor. An in
ve-1gation. he said. is now proceeding, and
report VIII be made at the state committee
meeting. at Mr.. Hudspeth's office at Washing
ton and Montgomery streets, Jersey City at II
o'clock to-day. The question of a recount would
not be decided before then ex-Judge Hudspeth
said. but added that if recount was ordered
It would be only in certain sections"
John F. Dullard of Trenton, Democratic
politician, who is spoken Of the original
Katzenbach man." called on Chairman Hud-
speth yesterday. Mr.. DUllard said he conceded
the election OF Judge Fort. He thought the
smallness Of the Katzenbach vote In Hudson
was due 10 Democratic squabbles.
The talk of a recount will probably end when
the Democratic State Committee meets. 1t was
based principally the result in Hudson County
and the early reports from Democratic sources
in Morris and Camden counties. In the fore
casts Hudson was estimated at 1900 or more
clear for Katzenbach. It was an erroneous
prophecy. The normal Democratic majority is
not more than 5000 and many Democrats voted
for Fort who had been on the county bench and
had made friends, and he also had the support
of the Democrats who admired him for his firm
attitude on the excise question, which Katzen-
bach lodged.
A comparison Of the vote cast for Katzenbach
with that for the Democratic candidates for
member Of Assembly shows little justification
for the allegation that KatZenbach was sacri-
feed for votes for Wittpenn for Mayor Witt
penis excessive plurality due to the votes
of the organization Republicans who were
openly against Mayor Pagan and his candidates
on the city ticket, who were beaten almost as
Rms itac
for Fort and the Republican candidates the
county ticket.
John p. DuIlard said last night: Il make no
charge of treachery. I naturally disap-
pointed IN the returns, but do not believe there
will be a recount"
