WOULD NOT MAKE
SUNDAY SPEECH
J.
Large Audience of New Jersey
Disappointed at Mr..
Bryan'S Decision.

Deer Park. n. j., Sept. f3.-William
j. Bryan today put his stamp of dis
approval on Sunday political speech
making when, without his knowledge,
the residents around Mountain Lake
park were notified to assemble there at
O'Clock today to hear him talk. Over
l.200 of them gathered while Mr.. Bry-
an, at Deer Park, was protesting to a
local committee that he would make no
speech. He finally was prevailed up
on to take the three-mile drive and
shake hands with those in the assem-
blage. with the understanding that he
should not speak and that there should
be no handclapping.
The people gave every evidence of
their pleasure at meeting the Demo-
cratic candidate for president, even
though they were disappointed at not
hearing him, and as he departed they
violated their pledge and aprlauded him
literally.
The day was one of absolute quiet
and rest, with the exception of the
short journey 10 Mountain Lake park,
and in consequence Mr.. Bryan prepared
himself for the strenuous week ahead of
him. He leaves tonight at 1888 o'clock
for Baltimore and is due TO arrive at
Camden station, that city, at 1880 in
the morning.

Central Federated union this afternoon

go into politics.
"In England he said, 1--WE found we
were equally neglected after-the cleo

or Liberals with our votes, and then
we sent direct representatives into
parliament with so many good results

A reference to the presidential can
didacy of Eugene V. Debs. on the So
cialistic ticket. also brought applause.
and Mr.. Hardie told his hearers that
they should find a way. as had been
done in England. to unite labor and
Socialism.
Soon then" he added, 'the issue i'm

OPPOSITION IN
THE MAJORITY
Hughes Certain to Be Defeated
if the Ants Can Unite
Upon a Candidate.
ROOTS NAME MENTIONED
NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CON-
vENTlON TODAY.

Saratoga, N Y, Sept. 13.-An idea
that the Republican state convention
which will assemble here at p. m. to-
morrow, will be a cut and dried affair
was dispelled by the development to-
day of a situation which may provoke a
bitter fight and end in the nomination
not of Governor Hughes for governor,
but of any one of the several men
about whom the opposition has been
trying to gather.
The name of Secretary of State Elihu
Root was on many tongues late today.
Mr. Root arrived at the United States
hotel this afternoon. He is TO act as
both temporary and permanent chair
man OF the convention.
Woodruff CIoseted With Root.
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff of
the Republican state committee went
10 Mr.. Roots room and was in con-
ference with him for an hour As they
left the room together Mr.. Root was
told of the rumors connecting his name
with the nomination as the choice of the
anti-Hughes forces.
At first he declined to say a word on
the subject. Pressed for an answer to
the direct question. Mr.. Root at last
said:
We'll, you know l am a delegate to
this convention from Oneida county.
The people up there are all for Hughes"
Opposed to Hughes.
The situation on the eve of the con-
vention is apparently accurately stated
in the following words of county
leader bitterly opposed 10 the re-nom-
ination of Governor Hughes:
There are more than enough anti
Hughes votes in the convention pledged
or otherwise certain to prevent his NOM
ination, and they will prevent it if they
can be united for anyone else. The
leaders opposed to the denomination of
the governor are trying TO agree on
some other candidate. 1t is possible
that they will succeed The trouble is
that they are intensely jealous of each
other, each fearing that some other
may in some way gain from the agree
ment they are seeking some special adj
vantage over himself Such advantage
might be of a local character. or it
might be very important: for instance.
ii might materially affect for better or
worse some candidate for United
States senatorship. which will have 10
be filled by the next legislature"
Hu9ncS Lacks Votes.
Beyond doubt the anti-Hughes
forces outnumber those in the COVER
nor's favor. and all that is lacking APP
pears to be a combination in support
of someone else. After a day of almost
continuous conferences among the al
lies" as the anti-Hughes leaders have
come TO be called. there was marked
increase early tonight in their show OF
confidence.
On the other hand there is an evident
lack of organization if not of political
acumen and experience on the part OF
the Hughes wing. Joseph H. Choate
and Ex-Governor Black have been men,
toned for governor
Tomorrow's session is expected to be
brief, consisting of preliminary and
permanent organization and the speech
of Secretary Root
Adjournment will probably be taken
until Tuesday.

A Question Of Names.

From Illustrated Bits.
On n occasion, a bishop who prided
himself on ever forgetting either the
name or face Of any clergyman in his
diocese, happened to be travelling some
where by rail, when, at a certain sta
ton. a clergyman got into the same
carriage In which the bishop was.
The bishop recognized the mans
face. but could not remember his name.
and not wishing to acknowledge his
forgetfulness, leaned forward, and,
with a charming smile, said:
Excuse me for forgetting, but how
do you spell you name?"
"J-o-n-e-s. my lord" was the reply
