this case be reopened. l desire that
you recall Jack Sullivan to give evil
dence further along the line of con-
spiracy which he alleges exists In this
case. I will have him brought here
at once"

tried vainIy to get a letter he says
was written by Assistant District At
torney Morse to Sullivan warning him
that he would be prosecuted unless
he took the stand for the state.
When Sullivan was recalled he
said that Rose, Webber and Vallon
had asked him to Join them in franz
ing the case against Becker and say
that he had seen Becker at the corn
er OF Sixth avenue and 42nd street on
the night Of the murder. This, Sui
livan said, he refused to do. He said

who had gathered at the station here
to welcome him by getting off the

Sycamore Hill in an automobile. The

machine. The crowd was considera-
bly, disappointed over their failure to

val the following bulletin was issued
by the physicians:
"CoI. Roosevelt has stood the jour
ney well, but we believe he is in no
condition to stand the excitement of
receiving his friends at Oyster Bay.
He deeply appreciates their interest
in his welfare"

STATE TOUR BY
The GOVERNOR
Democratic Leaders Countinc
on Two or Three Days.
(From the NEWS Correspondent )


Trenton, Oct. 22:-It was an
nounced by state Democratic leaders
here today that In all probability
Governor Wilson will devote two or
three days to a campaign in this
state for the purpose of aiding in the
election OF Democratic Legislature
to insure the choice next winter of a
Democratic United States senator to
succeed Frank o. Briggs. The spec
1al effort to put Judge William
Hughes In the United States senate
is part of move to capture the up
per house of congress for the Demo-
Gratis. State Chairman Grosscup,
former Judge Robert s.. Hudspeth,
the New Jersey member of the
Democratic National committee, and
other Wilson hackers, after going
over the situation with those In
charge Of the national headquarters
in New York City and hearing re-
ports from the Wilson campaign Just
ended, declare that it Is possible to
win the United States senate from
the Republicans.
The Democrats, IN order to con-
troll the next senate, must elect the
legislature in nine states not now
held by them, in November, and to
this task the party leaders are now
addressing themselves. 1t is be-
lieved by the New Jersey Wilson
men that short campaign in this
state by the governor, added to the
element Of state pride and the split
in the Republican ranks, will give
Woodrow Wilson such a large vote
In this state that he will carry the
legislature with him.
Democratic State Chairman Gross
cup had conference here today
with Governor Wilson during which
re urged upon the governor the ne
cessity of his making a series of
speeches In this state before election
in order to make the Democratic VIC
tory more certain. Mr.. Grosscup
laid before the governor the plan of
the state committee which is to have
big mass meetings with the governor
as the principal speaker in Trenton,
Newark, Paterson, Camden and per-
haps two or three other of the larger
cities In the state and then have the
governor speak in two or three Of
the counties In which state senators
are to be elected and which the
democrats believe they can carry on
the senatorial ticket II this special
effort be made. 1t is believed that
the governor will accede to the re-
quest.

TAFT IS RIGHT

Governor Agrees Regarding
Personalities in Campaign.

Princeton, Oct. 22.--Governor
Wilson agrees with President Taft
that personalities have no place in
a presidential campaign. He made
this very plain in an exclusive inter-
view granted the United Press in
which he discussed the questions an
swered by President Taft yesterday.
The governor believes that the rank
and file of the voters are satisfied
with the way he has conducted his
campaign. He believes also Ameri-
cans demand dignity in their high
office holders.
"IIow do you believe presidential
campaigns should be conducted" he
was asked.
II hope l have made my ideas on
that subject very clear by the man
ner in which | have conducted my
own campaign" answered the gov
7or Il think they should be con-
Quoted and cited by frank and
open discussion of the issues in
Volyed."
What is the effect of personali-
ties in a campaign?"
'The effect Of personalities is not
only to inject bitterness, but to OBJ
scure the issues. In my opinion per-
sonalities have no place in such con-
tests. To excite mere prejudice
against the individuals who you are
opposing is to show your own weak
ness"
'Do the people still look to dig
nifty in high officials?'
81 think people do look for dig
nifty in high offices and are deeply
chagrinned and disappointed when
they do not find it.
