ENTHUSIASTIC RECEP.
ton FOR HAYWOOD
COMING OF ITS LEADER AT
(By the Associated Press. }


DENVER, Aug. 5.-Celebration of
wood, secretary treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
was acquitted at Boise. Idaho, on the
charge of conspiring to murder for
mer Governor Frank StcunenDerg of
Idaho, was considerably curtailed to-
night by reason of the lateness OF
the hour at which he arrived. Plans
for a great gathering of people at the
Union station, to be followed by a
monster open-air meeting, were
abandoned yesterday when it became
known that Mr.. Haywood postponed
his departure from Salt Lake one day
on account of the condition of John
II. Murphy, general counsel for the
federation, who was reported dying.
Instead, a committee of 100 labor
unionists, representing practically all
the labor unions of the city, was Sc
lected to welcome Haywood in the
name of the unions, and on next
Thursday a grand meeting of labor
unions will be held to formulate
plans for meeting in the future at
which Mr. Haywood will be given
great reception, and at which he
will be the principal speaker. All
this depends, however, upon whether
or not Haywood wants such demon
stration and he has not as yet def
nitely indicated his willing ness to be
so honored. Tonight several thou
sand persons gathered outside the
main entrance to the union station,
while within the gates leading into
the yard platform, were hundred or
more persons, including newspaper
men, committeeman and employees of
the station AS the Denver & Rio
Grande train bearing the Haywood
party rolled into the depot at 10: Is
O'Clock, five minutes behind the
schedule, those inside the gates
quietly walked toward the train and
along the side of the cars until the
one occupied by Haywood and his
friends was reached. Haywood could
plainly be seen through the car win
dows but no cheering was indulged
in until after the news became cir
culated that Murphy was in as good
condition as could be hoped for.
During the brief exchange of
Fluctuations in the car Haywood was
ever watchful of his invalid wife,
who constantly kept her gaze set up
on him and smiled occasionally in
satisfaction of the glad welcome her
husband was receiving. When all
were ready to leave the car, Haywood
gathered his wife in his arms and left
the car, and as he dismounted from
the steps of the car number of
those standing around removed their
hats and waved them in his direction,
accompanying the gesture of well
come with ringing cheer. A num-
ber of men wearing the red badge of
the socialists were among those in
the procession as the party left the
station. AS Haywood appeared un
der the flare of the electric lights,
the crowd caught sight of him and
burst into cheers. A rush was made
and people in their eagerness to get
look at the principal in the most
famous Boise trial, packed into
small space just outside the gate and
the police were compelled to use
force to restrain the crowd. A space
less than three feet wide had been
opened through the crowd, barely
large enough to allow the chair in
which Mrs. Haywood was riding to
pass. AS Haywood walked up this
file hundreds of hands were out
stretched toward him, but his solici
tude for his wife caused him to re-
sist the evident desire to grasp the
many hands extended to him. The
cheers followed him to his carriage,
where after seeing his wife safely
seated, Haywood turned and greeted
the crowd by waving his hat. Then
