Mr.. TAFT HERE AN HOUR
Boards Yacht MayfIower and
Starts for New London.
STILL USES WHEEL CHAIR
President Joined at Navy Yard
by Mrs. Taft, His Brother
and Party Leaders.

President TAFT paid the metropolis a
visit lasting a little more than an hour
yesterday afternoon. He arrived at the
Pennsylvania station at 1928, and then
sped across the city in an automobile to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he Joined
Mrs. Taft on the yacht Mayflower. At
4:45 the yacht started up the Sound bound
for New London, the plan being to have
the President make an address there be-
fore the Atlantic Deep Waterways Con-
vention.
Mr.. Taft has been suffering considerable
pain from a sprained ankle for the last
few days. and Mr. Egan. station master
at the Pennsylvania station, received
word early In the afternoon to provide a
rolling chair for the Presidents use on
his arrival. The need for the chair was
apparent, as Mr.. Taft, leaning heavily on
the arm of Major Rhoads. climbed down
the steps Of his private car to the train
platform. He dropped into the chair with
sigh OF relief and was rolled to an ele-
vator. from which he was taken to the
automobile waiting FOR him.
When he reached the automobile, how
u,
grin and bear it, and. pushing aside
those who tried TO steady him, walked the
few steps necessary to reach the car, and
even made his way to the seat, With prac-
tically no assistance. lie then waved his
hand at the small crowd about him and
was Nhisked away.
At the station 10 meet the President
were George Y. Sheldon. treasurer OF the
Republican National Committee Charles
u. Hilles, chairman OF the committee,
and Mr.. Taft's brother Charles y. Taft
They also got into the automobile and
accompa MED the President TO Brooklyn.
Mr.. Tafts party arrived at the navy
yard shortly after o'clock, and was met
at the gate by Captain A. b. Gleavcs and
his staff The guard was at once turned
out and the Presidential salute OF twenty
one guns fred. The Mayhower was lying
at Berth . and the President was taken
under escort TO that pier. The New York
air. IL would appear, had benefited him,
for he walked aboard the yacht With only
a slight limp.
Mrs TAFT was there 10 greet him She
had reached the navy yard early in the
morning on board the Mayhover, and had
had time 10 make a rather extended shop
ping trip before the Presidents arrival.
The fact that the Presidents baggage
was DELAYED held UP the MayfoVer, but
she finally got away, only about fifteen
minutes behind the scheduled time for
sailing. When she started out Of the yard
the battleships North Dakota, Alabama
and Michigan Joined in firing the salute
OF twenty-one guns.
As Mr.. Hllles. Mr.. Sheldon and the
Presidents brother were on the May
fow.r. II was expected that an important
political conference would take place be-
fore the Yacht arrived Al New London. II
was announced. too, that Mr. Hilles and
{. T. Taft, and possibly Mr. Sheldon
would 90 on to Beverly with the Presl-
dent.

COURT ASSAlLS LEVY LAW
Upholds Progressives' Oonten-
ton Regarding Petitions.
fRy Telecraph 10 The Tribune.


Nysck, ~ Y, Sept. 5.--Justice Temp
kins, in the Supreme Court. to-day hand
I'd down a decision on motion recently
brought by willianA H. Hotchkiss and
Hamilton Fish. jr.. against John Smith
and James L. Towner. jr.. constituting the
Board Of Elections of Putnam County
unfolding the contention that the Levy
election law is unreasonable. This mo-
ton was brought in the interest OF the
National Progressive party, and was for
peremptory mandamus requiring said
board to disregard certain provisions OF
the Levy election law relating To the num-
her and qualifications OF the signers OF
independent nominating certificates, on the
ground that such provisions are uncon-
stitutionai and void.
The most important provision OF the
election law attacked is that requiring
1900 signatures 10 an Independent NOM
mating petition for county officers and
500 signatures to nominate an Assembly
man. Justice Tompkins believes that
percentage basis would be the fairest
method Of regulating the number OF sign
ers Of independent certificates. Legisla-
ton and regulations. TO be valid. he says,
must be reasonable and not Impose dif-
flcult and unnecessary restraints or de-
prive independent bodies Of voters OF
equality of opportunity with all other
bodies and parties. lie ends his opinion
as follows:
"My conclusion, therefore. is respecting
the number Of signers required for indie
pendent nominations Of county officers
that the present law is unreasonable and
unJustiy discriminatlve and void. and re-
fuse to md that the statute OF 1926 was
unreasonable in its provisions"
The Empire State Democracy and Citi-
zens Union participated In this proceeding
with the Progressives

Weman Demands Aid.

contributing cause to the colonefs
strenuous day was the demand OF a
woman who brushed past all guards at
the fair grounds administration building
and demanded that the colonel aid her
In recovering 800 which she said had been
lost in the postoffice here. Il would be
Glad TO take UP the matter at another
time" said the colonel, but I've got a
Thousand other things to do here to-day.
The woman departed after cousin
George Roosevelt had used his persuasive
powers.
While the crowd awaited the arrival OF
the colonel at the fair grounds girl In
blue mounted the platform and sang
song. the chorus OF which began:
I'm afraid, I'm afraid. I'm afraid p
who's afraid, Of WHAT" sang the
members OF the band in concert.
.Im afraid Of the big Bull Moose,
varbled the girl.
The tlrong yelled and laughed. and just
at that moment there was mighty com
motion up near the entrance OF the park.
"Here's the bull moose now!'' shouted a
hundred voices, and the colonel jumped
into the ring.
"Here, take my hat" he said to his
secretary, as he opened up.
"I'li crush II otherwise. It's still In the

WOMEN BOOST WILSON
Mrs. Hartman and Miss Hill at
Terrace Garden.
SCOTCH ON THE SIDE
Music of the Pipes and Highland
filings to Capture
Audience.

ITS much better to have things out
side OF you than inside Of you. People
who go around with their thoughts shut
inside of them are like volcanoes, liable
to explode at the wrong time"
That's what Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
chairman of the organization committee
of the Women's National Wilson and
Marshall organization, told the audience
at tho Democratic meeting at Terrace
Garden. At No. l45 East 18th street. over
which she presided last night, and judg-
ing from the enthusiasm with which they
received her speech they considered that
she was exploding at the right time
Out of compliment to Governor Viii
sons Scotch ancestry on his mother s
side, Scotch songs, music by Scotch
piper and dancing by girls in Highland
kits were interspersed with the speeches.
Mrs. Hartman said the vaudeville pro-
gramme reminded her of the occasion
when she was asked TO make nOontime
speech on milk stations at the budget ex-
hbit.
IL told them" she said. that / didn't
believe a busy crowd coming in there at
the luncheon hour would stop to listen
to a talk on dry subject like milk.
oh they said we've thought OF that.
We've arranged ito entice the people in
with moving pictures. and then we'll shut
the doors and not let them out until
you've spoken ! fancy the people who
arranged this programme felt the same
obout our apeccbc9"
Mrs Hartman introduced Miss Alberto
Hill and other speakers, but she didn't
have any one TO introduce her when she
spoke, 90 she introduced herself. She won
the audience directly by telling them that
most OF them knew lot more about poll
tics than she did.

Tariff Not the Issue.

But the men don't know much more,
she said. They Just sit still and look
wise and smoke. But the tariff doesn
seem 10 me the real issue I'm this cam
paign. The real issue is that We shall
elect a man like Wilson. We women know
,nstinctiyely that he is the right man.
And that is why We are banding together
TO ask men TO vote for Wilson. because IL
YOU want thing done you have got to
get a man 10 do It,"
There we're two men speakers, Lyman
". Reddington. Of Vermont, and Thomas
Jameson, Of Nebraska. Mr.. Jameson,
who is quite young, declared that "he
would never stop singing song In praise
Of Wilson until tho ides Of November
next"
He forgot some OF the words Of his song
last night. and there were sudden pauses.
during which he tapped his brow and the
audience held its breath. But on the
whole. he delivered some impressive sem
fences about that great intellectual
gladiator Wilson" and "the menace Of the
hordes OF socialism that had come Shrek
ing and shouting from the poisoned womb
of Repub,icanism."
He made nothing like the hit. though.
that was made by Mrs. Hartman In her
blue suit and huge picture hat and Miss
Hill in her gold colored Greek gown and
gold colored shoes.

The Heart in Politics.

"All know is what J feel In my heart"
she said. that Governor Wilson is a
good man and will make good Presi-
dent But when / get up to talk I feel
like the old lady who went to fair,
and her husband took her TO a side SHOW
where there was seer. Maria he said,
this man can see through stone wall.
Good gracious. John she told him, take
me away; I've got my thinnest under
wear on
so am always afraid when I get up
TO speak that the audience will sec
through me. But know enough to know
that Governor Wilson is a man who will
try, II he is elected President. to find out
what the people want and then give II
to them The Bull Moose platform Is full
OF fine things, things many Of us believe
I'm and want. but most Of them the fed
eral government couldn't give us; that
platform can only inspire the states.
Governor Wilson is practical. He's
what he has called himself. a stand
patter with move on-no, a conserva-
tive with a move on is what he called
himself. That is what he is. and he gave
New Jersey the first law II eyer passed
for the protection OF women-the sixty
hour law"
Then Mrs Hartman talked about the
social centre movement, in which Cover
nor Wilson is interested-the movement TO
have schoolhouses open at night as neigh
borhood gathering places.
Just think what il would mean she
said, "in city where YOU hardly know
your next door neighbor, to have place
where you could all go and say just what
you liked"
Miss Hill made hit by declaring that
the more she read about the tariff the
less she new about 1t.
