TOUR is SUCCESSFUL.

Gov. Charles Z. Hughes. OF New
York, arrived In Detroit early Tues
day morning on the second stage OF a
remarkable speech.making tour In
which he is covering FIVE states In as
many days. He came in a private
car from South Bend, Ind, where he
spoke Monday night and goes from
here through Ohio, West Virginia and
Maryland 10 Baltimore. He spoke at
The Republican state convention At ii
o'clock in the morning.
This Is the first time that Gov.
Hughes has come to Detroit and there
was a distinguished gathering at the
Detroit club to breakfast with MIN.
His presence and manner was a sur
prise to most OF those present, few of
whom had met him.
Instead OF being grim, puritantc.
stern-faced reformer. the governor OF
New York showed himself to be one
OF the best friend-makers In sight. re
is man OF medium hight and bis face
has q boyish freshness .hatfg% es well
with the clear eyes and everApresent
smile Of a man who enjoys his life
and work. The whiskers which lock
so harsh and uncompromising In his
pictures are OF a light shade and only
add TO the expression OF geniality.
II was a nervous and famished ga
thering into which he burst at the
club. Burst Is the correct word. for
Gov. Hughes ran up the steps like a
boy and was busy shaking hands with
the affability or William Alden
Smith In 80 seconds after his arrival.

statesmen and wealthy guests had be-

Gov. Hughes was, and Congressman
Diekema had gone TO the railroad sta
ton to act as welcome committee.
They found. however. that the govern
or OF New York was sleeping. The
next bulletin stated that he was shaw
ing, later that he was dressing.
All the while the gathering at tho
Detroit club continued to gather and

manners ruled. there would have been
a shout OF welcome as the automobile
rolled up outside.
