ABANDON PLAN FOR
CARAVAL'S CRUISE

j Chicago. Oct 22-Because of hard
ships in navigation on the great lakes
the proposed cruise Of the Columbus
caravels through the Panama canal to
San Francisco for the exposition in
1915 has been abandoned and the
three vessels, Pinta, Nina and Santa
Maria will be returned to this city.

here last night from Cleveland where
the caravels are in winter boat yard.

Chicago to Cleveland. 1t had been the
expectation to repair them at Montreal
before the ocean cruise was begun
but the plan is said not to have war

London, Oct. 22.-The Lon

United States through the AS {
ISOLATED Press not having been
published here. 5
The Pail Mall Gazette today
says,
There is evidently grave
misunderstanding between this
country and the United States
in regard to the Mexican crisis
which should speedily be re-
moved. There are elements OF
danger in the situation which
may easily arouse strong feel
ing on both sides Of the At
lantic."
1T cannot be denied that
President Wilson had some
grounds for complaint against
the British foreign policy In
Mexico" says the Globe today.
The newspaper considers
grave mistake was made by the
British foreign Offices, hasty
recognition Of Huerta, which
was in such marked contrast
with its .dignified delay in
recognizing King Peter Of
Servia.
The Globe thinks the foreign
on1ce's attitude lends color to
the suspicion that its policy is /.
dictated by political considera-
tions rather than for regard for
the real interests of the nation.

Opens Up Headquarters and
Begins Fight for Seat
in the Assembly
LOOKS ON ELECTION
AS A VINDICATION
Fusionist Party Welcomes
His Attack on Charles
Murphy and Tammany

New York, Oct 22.-William Sulzer
opened headquarters at Broadway
hotel today for his campaign to re-
establish himself at the state capital.
Informally he plunged into the fight
as soon as he stepped from late train
from Albany last night, but from to-
day On until election Nov. he planned
to conduct an organized campaign with
his private secretary, Chester c. Platt,
acting manager, for election to the
sixth assembly districtswho succeeded
in making him the nominee Of the
progressive party ticket, almost Inn
mediately after he was deposed as
governor, shared his confidence Of
success.
The entry of the deposed governor
into the local campaign which is al
ready at a high pitch Of excitement
over the mayoralty contest, with
charges and recriminations flying
everywhere, promises to make the
next two weeks most stirring in a po-
iitical way. 3&g
FusIonlsts Puzzled.
The fusionists, seeking the election
of John Purroy Mitchell, as mayor, are
guarded in expressing enthusiasm
over the entry Of the deposed govern
or into the campaign, but they make
no secret Of their satisfaction over the
fight which Mr.. Sulzer had declared
against Tammany hall. the defeat Of
who're power the sf,,lipnists profess to
be their main object, ,.t..gs 4. -s5ss,
Ry installment Mr.. Sulser continued
70 bring forth charges that Charles a..
Murphy, leader OF Tammany hall made
threats to him while he was governor
and that Edward e. Mccall, the Tam
amny candidate for mayor had acted
as an emissary of the Tammany lead
er. Mr.. Mccall has denounced the
charge as falsehoods while Mr.. Murphy
has preserved his usual reticence, de-'
claring only that he will wait until
Mr.. Sulzer has finished all of his ac-
cusations before replying.

John A. Hennessy, who acted as
personal investigator for Governor
Sulzer, has injected himself into the
city campaign as one Of the anti-Tam-
manv orators, In a speech late last
night, H0 CudISSu tHdl MCCdil <tCIeu
as Murphy's moutfpiece and once told
him to "carry to Sulzer the last word
for Murphy of what would happen" II
Sulzer did not withdraw from the SEN
ate every nomination he had made.
This was nearly two months ago.
1t was not until an early hour this
morning that friends of the deposed
governor allowed Mr.. Sulzer to go to
bed, so determined were they to ac-
claim him a hero or, martyr. For
nearly three hours after his arrival in
the city big crowd of his admirers
cheered for him as they followed in
a triumphal night to the east side dis
trict where he reiterated in several
short speeches that bosses" had re-
moved him because he fought for the
people instead Of for them and pleaded
for seat in the assembly that he
might renew his fight. The denonstra-
ton in his behalf moved the ex-govern-
or to tears and he described the ac-
claim as the greatest moment Of his
life.
