PHILADELPHIA, September 11.-Gov.
woodrow Wilson. while travelling from
Atlantic City to Jersey City today, drew
the distinction between a campaign tour
and trip" Earlier in the campaign the
governor had announced that he would
make no speaking tour of the coun-
try, but would fill number of engage
ments on particular occasions.
The difference" said the candidate
with a smile, is that a tour means a
sweep of an entire section of the coun-
try, while trip simply is going to a GER
tain place or number of places and COM
ing back home again. It's just like a
base ball game. / take trip around
the bases. make home run and step up
to the plate again after little rest and
make some more runs. 1t isn't like a
track meet, where you are running
around all the time. That's a tour.
Plans for Coming Trips.
The governor said that when he return
ed from his first western trip September
23 he would rest a few days and start
on another. He plans to make one trip
every week until the end of the cam
paign. His first western trip is to begin
September Is and will end September %
at Scranton, Pa. when the Pennsylvania
state democratic candidates are notified
of their nominations. The next day the
governor will go to his home at Prince
ton to vote in the New Jersey primaries
for United States senator.

headquarters in New York was for the
time being cleared up he would spend
the rest of the day in seclusion, boarding
