HEDGES TALKS DOWNTOWN
Attacks Sulzer in Two Speeches
to Business Men.

Job Z. Hedges made couple OF speeches
in the downtown district yesterday but
In view OF the weather he said he did
not wish to expose his voice too mucn,
as he would need it again at night.
At the business mems MONDAY meeting,
at Maiden Lane and William street, he
had a handicap, because the rain was
falling heavily, but in his five-minute
speech he fred a shot at Sulzer by say
ing:

Former Judge William II. Wadhams
and J. Van Vechten Olcott talked about
the tariff, and then Mr. Hedges went up
to meet seven hundred men at the Com
mercial Travellers Sound Money League,
at No 434 Broadway. Some of his speech
was couched in his well known humor'
but he was more serious when he said
If you want Tammany Hall to be trans

SISTER SHIPS MEET AGAIN
Disrupted Schedule Brings
Them Together After IL Years.

Two sister ships. the Byron and the
Tennyson, launched from the same
yards in Glasgow in 1900 met yester-
day in this port for the FIRST time in
twelve years. For eleven years they
had been passing each other on the
long run between New York and Bue-
nos Ayres. but never were they closer
than 100 miles. Until they were
equipped with wireless few years
ago, the masters OF the sister ships
never knew when the steamships were
abeam.
A recent dock strike in Rio dc ia
metro disrupted the company's schedule
by tying up the Tennyson for a month.
When the Byron came In yesterday
from Rio she dipped her colors to the
Tennyson, lying at Pier s, Brooklyn,
and the courtesy was returned. Several
old cronies who have been on the ships
since they came out met last night
aboard the Tennyson, which will sail
for Rio to-day

Will Garry New York by al
Least 100000, He Says.

Norman T. Mack, chairman OF the
executive committee Of the Democratic
State Committee. made his first election
prediction yesterday by announcing that
Governor Wilson would carry the State
OF New York by no less than z"'V'
plurality. Mr.. Mack said:
From information at land, coming from
every section of the state, there Is no
question in my mind but We are entering
the home stretch in New York, with
Taft and Roosevelt running about neck
and neck The ambition OF both wings
OF the Republican party now seems 70
be to see which one OF them VIII capture
the largest number of Republican votes;
Now. this can mean but one thing. and
from my personal observation l am con-
fident that II means that Governor WIZ
son will come down 10 The Bronx win
plurality OF from nifty thousand TO sixty
vote in Greater New York, and II is DIM
cult TO figure how his plurality In this
state will be less than two hundred
thousand.
Thousands OF regular Republicans, who
are now anxious to see their party per-
pctuated and who love their old party
for what IL has meant to them, boy and
man, I'm the past, are SATISFIED now on
the eve OF election, that President tart
has no show Of carrying New York state
or OF election, and will vote for Wilson and
Marshall, in order TO make the defeat OF
the Bull Moose candidate moro certain
and in order to perpetuate the party OF
their fathers.
At the meeting OF the executive COM
mlttee OF the Democratic County Com
mittee at Tammany Hall yesterday. two
thirds OF the district leaders submitted
their estimates of the vote. No announce

self paid only $3.50. Other accusations
involve the relations Of Wiley and

[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Buffalo, Nov. 1.-Governor Hiram john

Woodrow Wilson as twin targets In his
speech at Old Convention Hall tonight
and proceeded to shoot both full OF holes.
An audience OF five thousand persons
cheered every blow of his attack on the

not a single friend in Buffalo. The third
party candidate for Vice-President took
portion of Governor Wilson's Madison
Square Garden speech as the basis OF his
attack. He said

that no injury would be done to wall

SAYS Wilson Is Revealed.

The man that Wall Street fears Is Theo-
dore Roosevelt. When Mr.. Wilson made
that confession he relieved us from tn .
necessity OF making differences and draw
ing conclusions because he told Just where
he stood and, what is more. Just where
Wall Street stands In this contest.
Governor Johnson added:
You'll find some OF the cunning New
York newspapers have omitted this part
of the speech"
The speaker went on TO compare the
meetings OF the rival candidates In Madi-
son Square Garden. or the Roosevelt
meeting he said that from 5000 TO 10000
people were unable to get in. They
needed no cheer leader; no band was
needed to play 'Tammany' during any part
OF that meeting" The Roosevelt demon
stratlon inspired California's Governor
with the hope that New York City itself
might be regenerated. He said;
Judging from the meetings in Madison
Square Garden, New York City Itself
may be regenerated by this campaign
That sounds almost impossible, | know,
but perhaps the millennium is really on It's
way and New York is TO be regenerated
and rehabilitated politically.
Buffalo did its best to emulate Madison
Square Garden. II made a brave effort
TO equal the record for continuous cheer
ing which the Wilson men set. 1t fell
short by a good many minutes, but local
checkers" said that the twenty-fve-min-
ute hubbub was at least a county record
for a rally. Governor johnson was in
radical humor. He stood on the plat
form OF his party during the greater part
OF the meeting. but once or twice he
could not resist the temptation Of hopping
higher and clicking his heels together out
Of pure exuberance. In discussing the
plank calling for the abolition Of child
labor, he said:
| would go much further, as far as
7 am personally concerned. I don't care
what you cali it, but ! would q, use ssss the
mani 10 aid those little children who are
forced to toll. And I would nurture by
government and bring up by government
care those children when 1t was neces-
sary.

SULzER OFFERS EULOGY
Of SHERMAN At RALLY
Served with Him for Eighteen
Years and Appreciated Good
Qualities, He Says.
CORDIAL BRONX GREETING
Also Speaks to Aqueduct Labor
ers and Promises to Make
Columbus Day a Ma
tional Holiday.

Before an audience Of thirty-fve hun
dred persons, mostly Jews, who had just
given him one of the most enthusiastic
receptions of his campaign, William
SuIzer, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, paid his tribute to Nice-Preslden'
Sherman last night. As he began &c
speak deep hush fell over the audience
in Burland's Casino, at Westchester ana
Prospect avenues. which had rung with
cheers for the candidate for more than
five minutes.
I'VE were going to have Democratic
parade tomorrow, began Mr.. Sulzer' IN
a low voice you Democrats were all
very much interested in 1t, and your can
didates for President and Governor OF this
state were going to review this parade
which might have been the greatest ever
held in this country
"But one of the candidates on the op-
posing ticket has passed the great divide
He has gone TO that undiscovered coun-
try from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns. He is TO be buried Tomorrow In
view of this the leaders Of the Demo
cratic party have given up all idea OF
holding the parade.
James s. Sherman was a friend OF
mine; we served together for eighteen
wears in the Congress Of this country
Although l always differed from him IN
politics. we were warm friends, and each
appreciated the good qualities OF the
other. can only say in the words OF an
other: What shadows We are and what
shadows we pursue"

Anticipated Mark OF Respect.

The candidate learned Of the intention
TO give up the parade only a few MIN
utes before his arrival at Buriands
Casino. Scarcely an hour before, as he
was entering a Harlem restaurant for
dinner. he remarked to the Tribune re-
porter;
Jim sherman was one of the best
friends ! ever had. He Is going to be
buried tomorrow. wish that the Demo
Gratis would give up that parade they
have planned
Mr.. Sulzer came TO the restaurant from
the train which brought him from White
Plains. where he went To address what
he expected to be a big rally Of West
chester Democrats. Instead, he was taken
by automobile six miles further up coun-
try. to Valhalla, and escorted-into the
stuffy assembly room Of a village Inn,
where five hundred Italian laborers from
the aqueduct were gathered TO meet HIM
Though haste and the dampness of the
evening had somewhat rufiled the Con
CHEESEMAN'S spirits, his good humor Was
Immediately restored by the Tousing re-
ception which they gave him, and he won
their plaudits further By telling them
that he had introduced a bill into Con-
gress to make Columbus Day a national
holiday. Saying that 1t should be holl-
day not only in the United States, but In
every country of the western hemisphere
he continued:
You may be sure that my bill Will be
passed by the next Congress. which VIII
be more Democratic than this one, and
that Woodrow Wilson will sign II as
President Of the United States
