 annex and the Auditorium hotel, and be- fore a crowd which completely cholSed the thoroughfares for nearly half an hour, MT. Bryan outlined the uses to which Democratic clubs can be put in the pres ent campaign. He was repeatedly inter- rupted by applause and shouts of "Goodl' "Good!" He spoke of the work of the club bureau, and said it was the inten- tion to organize in every precinct in the United States Democratic club. Such clubs, he said, were destined to do very effective work in distributing campaign Literature among those who will read it and in collecting campaign contributions, the purpose being ito spread before the country the arguments and principles for which the democratic party stands.
 Mir. Bryan made a further plea for pop ular subscriptions and estimated that the democratic national ticket this year would muster S,0OO,000 votes. If each of those voters would subscribe even 25 cents, he said. an enormous campaign fund thus would be secured. "We have no way of eoercing the people. even if we wanted to-" he declared amid shouts of applause I've have" he'd continued, mo idea of promising experimental favors in return Inasmuch as We expect to give special privileges to none, there are none to whom we can make a special appeal" A victory secured under such condition, he said would be victory of the people, If members of the different Democratic clubs would give their time just one day election day-every democratic voter could be gotten to the polls, and then,' he said, ''when the votes are there we can have enough men to watch the polls and see that the votes are counted" He created laughter and applause when he said there was one other use to which the clubs could be put-to march in the democratic procession on March 4.
 Before MT. Bryan made his appearance : he was serenaded by the Cook County Democracy band He was introduced in a felicitous speech by Miles J. Devine, member of the club.

Winthrop Mass, August 22.-(speeiaL)- Mrs. Claud Libbey Hains will not go upon the witness stand in her husbands de- fense in the manner Evelyn Nesblt Thaw did and submit to a grllling by the prose- eution, if her lawyers can prevent It.

 While she will not discuss the case. on the advice of Frederick Norton. her lawyer here, neighbors i'll Winthrop who have her confidence, say that she is in- different to the outcome of her husbands suit, no matter what it may be, if she can only gain control of the children.
 MT. Norton said today:
 T will make no legal move of any sort in behalf of Mrs. Hains until after the magistrates hearing in Queens coun- ty. After that I shall probably outline our course of action Following the hearing and the conclusions we draw from it Mrs. Hains, with my approval will doubtless issue a statement to the public, giving her side of the case I cannot announce now the points which will be made in her statement, but it will be designed to refute some of the slan- derous statements which have been at tributed to Captain Hains, his brother and their friends. I have determined on behalf of my client that that sort of thing shall stop"
 It was further announced that Attor- .-ey James Dayton, prosecuting attorney of Queens county, had been engaged as associate counsel of the prosecution and would enter the case on Monday.
 Mrs. Annis left the city late today for a few days rest, it was announced at her home. The annoyance of detectives who have surrounded her home apart ments, and the persistence of reporters were responsible for her departure, 1t was said But it was also admitted that she will hold a quiet conference with her attorney during her absence and that they are to meet at a small summer re- sort and prepare a statement Mrs. An his will make to the public.
