WILSON IN GOTHAM
TAKES STROLL DOWN BROAD.
WAY AND THRILLS THRONG.
President Is Recognized by Many and
Has Difficult Time EIuding
Them.

New York, Nov. 16.-President Will
son took in the great white way on
Saturday Accompanied by Col. +. M,
House, whom he is visiting here, DR..
Cary Grayson, his aid, and secret
service men, he viewed the landscape
along Broadway, between Fifty third
and Thirty-fourth streets.
He was recognized numerous times
and forced to bow his acknowledge
ment of cheers and applause. Broad
way hasn't had such a thrill for long
time-and Broadway is real blaze.
The president left Colonel Houses
residence shortly after eight o'clock.
He made bee line for Broadway and
strOlled down the famous thorough
fare at the time when the lights be-
gin to glimmer most. He reached
FOrty-sixth street before Broadway
ties began to suspect the presidential
presence. Then a crowd began to
form. 1t grew with every step the
president took Passersby spoke, re-
ceived the presidents nod of greeting,
and then they joined the procession.
At Forty-third street the following
had grown to goodly proportions.
There the presidents eye was attract
ed by Miss Florence Harmon, who was
making a suffragist speech. He
listened a few seconds until told he
was attracting more of crowd than
the fair speaker. Then he moved on.
Hurrying along Broadway and cut
ting across Thirty-fourth street the
president slipped into the Waldorf
while the crowd that had followed
him cheered and demanded a speech.
He sped upstairs on an elevator,
walked across the building and
emerged unnoticed on the Thirty-third
street side, escaping the crowd.
At Madison square the party board
ed Fifth avenue bus.
The president alighted at Fifty-third
street and went back home.
The president had all the thrills of
Haroun-al-Rachid of Arabian Nights
fame during his evening jaunt. Just
a few minutes before he entered
Colonel Houses apartment in Fifty
third street buns" engaged in a live
~ street brawl, one of them being
knocked down. A woman who was
accompanying one of them screamed
until the street echoed, and as the
president passed to enter the apart
ment the woman was weeping. One
of the men had his arm around the
girl. The president glanced across,
but passersby speaking to him at
tracted his attention and the incident
passed.
Just few minutes while the presi-
dent was on Fifth avenue, near TWEEN
ty-eighth street, he stopped to look at
a portrait of Mrs. Wilson, which was
exhibited in a photographers window
And during those few minutes every
one was quiet.
The president reached his apart
ment about ten o'clock and retired i'm
mediately.

Best Cure for Nerves,

The very best cure for a case Of

it with all your might. You never
