The presidential candidate decls4
that he had no intimation when fnvIf.l
ed to the state fair that the Demo
cratic State committee and Associa-
ton of Democrats were to meet In
Syracuse on the same day. He said
that had he known 1t he probably
would not have accepted the invita-

die in the internal politics of any
state. AS it was Gov. Wilson had 9

The railroads point out that the pro.

would be equivalent to placing on
their property lien Of &1ss,s44,SlS OF
