Welcomed With HYMN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, Lord. our
God; Be Thou our guide. That by Thy
help, no foot may slide. Swelling up
ward in a mighty chorus OF ten thous-
and voices, this hymn rose above the
din of Broadway as the New Year
came In. 1t was the most notable
feature OF New York's great celebra-
ton.
The singers, trained and unframed,
threw their whole hearts into the
old English hymn, selected by both for
the occasion as they circled the tree of
light in Madison Square and SO great
was the volumn Of sound that it easily
drowned out for the moment the clat-
ter of horns and bells on the great
white way and mingled mellowly with
the Ginning OF bells in the great Met
ropolitan tower as a welcome to 1914
Another notable feature of the city's
annual jubilee was the comparative
absence of rowdyism on the streets
4 and it was freely predicted that a
safe and sane" method of jollifying
would be seen in the years to come, in
stead of near-riots which have pre-
vailed in the past. Much smaller
crowds were on the Streets than used
/ to be the case, but In contrast, every
hotel, cafe and many of the biggest
apartment houses were crowded to the
doors In them, however, 1t was said
the consumption of liquor was far less
than formerly. The tango and the tur.
key trot displaced the enormous con-
sumption of wines of former day,
and the tens Of thousands OF cele.
brants, comparatively sober, danced
the New Year In with few accidents
or encounters.

Conference Delayed.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Jan. L.
President Wilson's conference with
John Lind has been postponed until
tonight. The scout cruiser Chester, on
which the special envoy made the
trip from Vera Cruz picked up fog
bank last night and was delayed some
twelve hours. At 2 o'clock the rev.
.enue cutter Winona was still lying OIL
Ship Island. 1t was stated that as
soon as the Chester arrives here Lind
will be transferred to the cutter ana
taken direct to the presidents cottage.
One Of the chief reasons that Lind
was summoned here by the president,
1t Is reported, is to tell what he
knows Of proposed loan promised
Hureta by English commercial inter
est. 1t is a known fact that If the
promise is confirmed, representations
will tie made to the British govern
ment. The president again today re-
fused to confirm or deny that Lind
has completed his mission and will
not return to Mexico 1t is known
after he leaves here the special en-
voy will go to New Orleans to meet
his son who left st. Paul for that
city today. The fact that Mrs. Lind
didn't make the trip is taken here to
mean that Lind may go to st. Paul
to see her The president was con
siderably disturbed over the delay OF
Lind's arrival He remained at his
cottage most of the morning in hope
the conference could be disposed of
This afternoon the president motored
up along the gulf coast, accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson and DR.. Grayson.
