Following this he will enter New York,
where he will make campaign for

William Howard Tat, Republican
candidate for President will he in THU
city next Monday, according 10 the ar
rangeaents made by State Chairman
Franklin Murphy
James s. Sherman. the candidate for
Vice President, will speak In East Or
ange tonight at the Womans Club.
He will spend the day in New York
and will not go to East Orange until
evening. He viii probably speak at
the Auditorium meeting, and It Is like
ly that Mr. Fairbanks may go to the
East Orange meeting. This however,
has not been positively arranged.
Arrangements have not yet been made
for the tour by Mr.. Taft. Chairman
Benjamin F. Jones, of the spea kers'
bureau, said today that the greatest use
would be made of Mr., Taft.
I'VE will try TO cover as much terri
tory as we can. We viii have Mr. Taft
speak in Jersey City, Newark. Pater-
Camden. Nothing. however, has been
arranged definitely"
Mr.. Fairbanks was the guest of for
mer Governor Franklin Murphy since
yesterday afternoon, and gave a short
talk today to reporter for THE EVE
MING STAR. The Vice President, ~
was expected. was non-committal about
political conditions in the States through
which he had been speaking
I'm q general way, I would say that
there is not the slightest doubt that
Mr. Taft will be elected with his rum
ming mate, Mr.. Sherman said he.
Governor sIurpiy and ! are Old
friends, you Know. and I have been in
Newark number of times The first
time was while I was In the Senate
and came to speak at banquet of the
Board of Trade. I was here four years
ago. you may recollect, and on both
occasions my trips were very pleasant.
This feeling has been accentuated on
this trip. so I am beginning to feel
somewhat at tshome.''
After the Vice President had paid
his compliments the reporter tried to
have him make some expression about
political conditions and prospects. but
he was too diplomatic to be led into
any positive statement.
''You know / was a newspaper man
one time myself in Pittsburg and
Cleveland After ] left college I went
with the Associated Press in Pittsburg
My previous training had been on the
college paper and as a correspondent
from the college for several papers
After the Associated Press in Pitts
burg, went back to the farm. but
again was with the A. p. in Cleve-
land"
Mr.. Fairbanks was told that some
Philadelphia papers had brought out
prominently the fact that in speech
at Wilmington. Del. he had referred
to only one of the Senators from that
State, Senator Du Pont, and had ig-
nored Senator Richardson.
II can't understand why they should
make a point about that said Mr.
Fairbanks. 'I referred to Senator Du
Pont because he was the only Senator
on the platform. and the reference was
only In connection with his acting as
chairman of the meeting or introduc-
ing me-
Mr.. Fairbanks spent the day in pre-
pairing speeches that he will deliver In
New York and in other places next
week. He is giving special care to the
New York speeches on account OF the
Importance of that State in the ma
tional contest.
Mr.. Fairbanks will be the guest OF
honor at dinner tonight in Governor
Murphy's home prior to the meeting.
Among the guests will be United
States Senators John Kean and Frank
o. Briggs, former Senator John
Dryden and . number Of Republicans
from various parts Of the State.
