Trenton, Oct. 26:-When the fast
Pennsylvania Limited whirled Gov
ernor WIIson across the Delaware
river bridge yesterday afternoon.
New Jerseys chief executive began
a trip outside of the state which
when completed VIII add enough
mileage to the territory already
traYersed by him since he took the
oath of office to make a total of more
than $4,000 miles, or equal to the
travelling required for a trip around
the world. This includes the mile
age Of trips made only since inaug-
uration day, January Is tast-a pc
Rod of nine fonths. The record puts
him as a class by himself, as
ernor. No other state chief execu-
tive has even Appropriated such an
amount of travel In the regular CUB
ernatorial term of three years.
In addition to the journeys taken
outside OF the State Governor VIII
has travelled many hundreds of miles
by railroad and automobile in New
Jersey since his term began. If he
accepts a tenth of the invitations
being pressed upon him to make
engagements for speaking dates out
side OF New Jersey before he had
rounded out his first year In Office,
1t is calculated that the Governor
viii have covered approximately
10000 miles since the day he sue
ceeded John Franklin Fort.
Eight Weeks on the Road.
~Inclading the trip which he is now
making in Wisconsin and Texas. dur
ing which be will cover about 1000
miles, he has spent nearly eight
weeks out Of his first nine months
as Governor keeping engagements
his osfieia: post of duty In the State
that removed him from a few hum
dred to several thousand miles from
his official post OF duty In the Statel
House. The Governors longest trip
was the one that consumed the
month OF May and carried him to the
Pacific coast. On his way back from
the coast he journeyed down into
North Carolina and by the time he
returned to Trenton he had covered
more than 10000 miles.
After he became Governor his first
long trip out OF the state was to
ST. Louis, where he went to preside
over the Short Ballot Association, Of
which he is president. Then he came
back to Trenton and shortly after
journeyed to Louisville to make one
speech to a Bar Association. In
March he went to Atlanta to attend
a Southern Commercial Congress
and la April made a trip to Indian
apolis to speak before the National
Association of Democratic Clubs.
Besides these journeys which re-
nights and days of railroad
the Governor has made num-
erous side trips from Trenton to
1eighboring states to make speeches

1t is roughly calculated that since

ddressed audiences in various parts

half million. On his present trip

Is to say. Messrs. StockbridgeIl
Measeday are identified with the
headquarters established at AZ
New York, by a coterie
Of friends and admirers Of Governor
Wilson who are determined to bring
about his nomination ag the Demo-
cratic candidate for President. Al
they are doing their work
very quietly at the present time, the
sforty-two Broadway crowd" are a
decidedly busy lot Of fellows. In
fact, there is much more method
and energy attached to the

Mr.. StoekbridEe, who Is an old
newspaper and magazine writer, &C.
companied Governor Wilson on his
Pacific coast tour, and shortly after
his return to New York he became
the active manager OF the Wilson
Presidential boom as directed from
AZ Broadway. Mr.. Measeday may be
clasged as a sort Of field represent
of the ~"forty-two Broadway
crowd" He has been spending all
of his time lately in going hither
and thither with the Governor and Is
presumably supposed to feel out the
pulse OF the people as 1t Is expressed
when Governor Wilson is nigh unto
them. Mr.. Measeday Is an expe- |
rieneed newspaper man and until
