Time Enroute to Indianap-.
oils Today. 4
SMALL CROWD WAS
AT LOCAL STATION
1t Was Not Generally Known
the Candidate Was to Pass
Through Party Leaders
Greet Him.

Smiling genlally, Governor WOOD
row Wilson, of New Jersey, stepped
from his private car at the Pennsyl-
vania station this morning and shook
hands with a number of the small
crowd who had gathered about his
train to greet him. The Governors
train stopped at the Union station
about five minutes and the Governor
did not have time to address his ad-
mirers. This was the first stop made
by the Wilson party since leaving New
York, for Indianapolis. The train ar
rived here shortly before IL o'clock.
1t is highly probable that much
larger crowd would have been at the
station had it been known yesterday
that Mr.. Wilson was to stop in Rich
mond. The first notice to that effect
was received this morning and con-
sidering the short notice the crowd
was fairly large.
Cheers Greet Wilson.
When the Governor appeared on the
rear platform of his car he was Justify
cheered. He then stepped from the
car to the platform below and heartily
shook the hands Of those who eagerly
pushed up to greet him.
A number of local Democratic lead
ers boarded the train here. Another
party of Indianapolis men arrived here
at 10 o'clock and returned on the
presidential candidates train.
Among those in the Indianapolis
delegation were Bernard Korbly, DEM
ocratic state chairman: Charles A.
enth district: Judge M. B, Hotte:. Regi-
maid Sullivan, Democratic chairman of
Marion county, and Mark Thistle
thwaite, formerly of this city, secre-
tary to Governor Marshall.
Governor Wilson's private steno-
grapher gave out the following state
ment, dictated by the candidate, on
the nomination of William Sulzer by
the New York Democratic conven-
ton yesterday.
"The freedom, both Of action and of
choice, which the convention exercis-
ed must afford every Democrat great
satisfaction. In choosing a candidate
it named a man whose reputation for
integrity and independence is unques
tionable, a man of high principle, de.
voted to the public interest. Mr.. Sui
ger, as the chairman of one of the
most important committees in con.
gress, has shown capacity and discre
tion of very fine sort. He certain
ly deserves the suffrage of independ
ent men of every caste. His running
mate, Mr.. Glynn, has a very enviable
reputation, both for capacity and in
dependence, and the ticket as whole
is of the kind to crafty progressive
Democrats very deeply. Both candi
dates have already shown character
and capacity in the service of the
great state of New York"
congratulates SuIzer.
Governor Wilson made public here
today the telegram sent to each OF
the two nominees of the Syracuse
convention. 1t follows:
my heartiest congratulations and
good wishes. / am greatly gratifiet
by the action of the convention"
Before the arrival of. the Wilson
train, Bernard Korbly, state chairman
was interviewed by representative
of the Palladium in regard to the Syra
cuse convention. Mr.. Korbly was ask
ed if, in his opinion, the nomination
of Mr.. Sulzer to head the ticket in
New York was really Wilson victor,
over Tim Murphy of Tammany fame
Mr.. Korbly evaded giving a direci
answer to the question, saying tha
Mr.. Sulzer was a man of high ideal:
an that he was against special privi
ledge of any kind; that he would no
| accept campaign contributions from
any corporations.
What do you think of Mr.. Roose
velt's invasion of the South" Mr. Kor
| bly, was asked.
1T will do him no good" he curtl,
replied. Colonel Roosevelt will no
carry single Southern state"
From your point of view, what il
the outlook for the Democratic party
] not only in this state but nationally,
| the state chairman was asked.
! Nothing to it but the shouting,
came the answer.
| And further" Korbly continued
Were going to find out great dea
about the campaign contributions o
the other two parties"
