 3 President Wilson in Berlin.
 For about ten minutes this morn ing Berlin was honored with the pres ence of President Woodrow Wilson, who passed through here while on his way to his summer home at Cornish, N. H., where he expects to spend the next few days.
 There was quite little excitement in Kensington when the 8:43 train from New Haven rolled into the local yards. It was soon noticed that the presidents private car was coupled to the last coach and, in very. few minutes the station platform was we'll crowded with people who hurried over for the purpose of getting a glimpse of the chief executive of the United States.

 The train was delayed at the local depot for ten min~ss by the Middle town trolley which was considera bly, behind schedule. Every minute that the presidents car stood there the crowd grew larger and there were many lusty cheers as it pulled out.
 Mir. Wilson left the Union station, Washington. D. C., at 5:3o o'clock yesterday afternoon, expecting to arrive at Cornish late today. MT. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, his son. in Jaw and daughter, have been at the Harlakenden House for several days. putting the place in readiness for his visit.
 The president decided to go to Cornish instead of taking a cruise on his private yacht, the Mayfiower, be- cause he believes the mountain air will be more beneficial than that of the sea.

 Members of the republican town committee said today that the dele gates nominated at Monday nights caucus will not be instructed. This has never been the policy of Berlin republicans and the precedent will not be changed this year. Last year an attempt was made to instruct the delegates, but it did not materialize
 Michael Rector at Work Again.

 He makes his way about with the aid of crutches, but he is expecting an artificial foot to arrive here from a specialist next week.
 That Citizens Party.
 The article printed in yesterday $ Herald regarding the organization of q Citizens party in Berlin, created considerable interest about town and was the topic of discussion in politi- cal circles today. It is agreed that there would have to be a very big split in the republican ranks before the election of the G. o. P. candidates would be endangered.
