New Workers Form Opinion
After Hitchcock's Oyster
Bay Visit.

NEW YORK. Aug. FLAMES S. Sher~
man, the Republican nominee for Vice
President, and Frank II. Hitchcock,
chairman Of the Republican national
committee, with Assistant Secretary OF
State Robert Bacon. former Represent
atiye George J. Smith, the newly ap-
pointed treasurer Of the New York
state Republican committee, and others
have returned from Oyster Bay where
they went to discuss with President
Roosevelt the question Of Governor
Hughes denomination.
Although no definite statement was
given out at oyster Bay, Chairman
Hitchcock intimated that at least a
partial decision had been reached. and
that the attitude Jf those who were
directing the national campaign would
be made evident IN a short time
When Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Sher-
man got back 70 town they evaded meet
ing the newspaper men, who were
awaiting their return.
1t was understood at Oyster Bay
from what could be learned from per
sons who attended the conference, that
the President and Chairman Hitchcock
decided for one thing that it was about
time that the machine leaders VINO are
opposed TO Hughes advanced a cdndl-
date of their own that what they
wanted 10 know was. VINO IS the
man2" and not WHO rs not the man.
II was the impression in oyster Bay
that it would be only a matter OF days,
or perhaps hours, when the word would
be passed TO the New York leaders that
the Administration and the Republican
national campaign committee favor the
choice OF Governor Hughes to head the
ticket.

ESSAY ON BACHELORS.

Bachelors are cultivated in all cities.
They live in bachelor apartments and
bungalows. They can be seen during
the day in counting houses and on the
golf links and in the evening at dinner
parties and poker games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind of bait,
and swallowed bait. hook, sinker, ana
all, often at the first throw. Now, how
ever, they are becoming much more
wary and hide in the depths of their
bachelor apartments or in deep pool
rooms from which they cannot be lured.
They are gregarOus in their habits,
running in schools, but they stand by
each other, ard IL IS very unusual tc
And a solitary one. Occasionally, how

where the wooden rails from which the

made. This portion OF the post is prac-

PECULIAR VIOLATION
OF HEALTH LAWS

Arrested for violation Of the health
laws, PuTdy Carter, proprietor of a
small restaurant at 505 K street north
west. was brought before Judge Null
lOwny this morning and fined s..
The case Is q peculiar one in enc re-
Epect, inasmuch as there is no running
water on the premises, which Is itself
a violation Of the health laws, and as
Carter is only tho tenant the owner is
necessarily held responsible. Inspector
StOy testified that the owner was an
out-of-town resident and that the whole
estate was tied I'D in litigation, so that
no improvements could be installed at
present.
The fine imposed upon Carter was on
account Of the uncIean condition Of

BRYAN WILL SPEAK
IN IOWA'S CAPITAL
Candidates Reception in
Republican Stronghold Was
None Too Enthusiastic.

DIES MONIES, Aug. A-William J.
Bryan is the guest Of the Democratic
organization of Iowa's capital today.
Tonight he Will open his real campaign
for the Office Of Chief Executive by de
livering the hrst of a series of set
speeches. His subject will be the ques-
ton of tariff revision and AIr. Bryan
stated today that he expected TO so COM
pare the TWO platforms that the issue
Will be squarely Joined.
VIII Not Read Speech.
The candidate had an uneventfuI jour
ney from Lincoln. The regular train
was two hours late leaving. and it was
10 O'clock when he reached this city. He
was met at the station by a com
nittee Of the local Democratic
Club and escorted TO his hotel. He
complained of being tired, and after
breakfast went at once TO his room and
denied himself to callers until after
noon. It was explained that he desired
TO familiarize himself with his speech
as he had decided not to follow the in
novatiou Of notification day and read il.
There was but a small crowd at the
station when Bryan arrived, and his
reception vczs by no means as warm
as had been expected. Considering the
sentiment of the city, however, II being
radically Republican, the candidate was
not much disappointed.
To Make Southern Trip.
II is understood that when Bryan
reaches Chicago tomorrow he viii ar
range for a Southern trip. following his
Labor Day and September 9th speeches
On the latter date he viii speak in
Peoria. and It is reported here that he
will leave there that night for tour
Of Missouri and Kentucky. While the
Democrats consider both States for
Bran, there is an under current there
tnat Bryan and his advisers believe

sOnaIly tour the States in order that the
