HUGHES AGAIN ASSAILED BY

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Oct. 24.- Receipt of a copy of a letter Charles E. Hughes secretary recently sent to the Michigan dry federation saying that MT. Hughes probably would make no declaration of his stand on the liquor question during the cam paign caused J. Frank Hanly, the Prohibitionist presidential candidate, here tonight to launch a fresh attack on the Republican nominee.
 Hughes said the other day." Hanly declared, "that the country needed, as never before, an Abraham Lincoln, and left the intimation that it might find a Lincoln in himself, forgetful of the fact that Lincoln in his day accepted the challenge of invisible government, called a million men to his side, put muskets in their hands, and bade them shoot it to death.
 "Where Lincoln stood and fought, MT. Hughes bows in dumb and silent acquisence."
 Mir. Hughes secretary wrote in re- ply to a communication from the Michigan drys stating that Michigan vets were trying to make it appear that Hughes was not in favor of pro hibition and asking his real views on the issue.
 "With regard to the reports that are being circulated as to his view on the issue of national prohibition" the reply said, 'it is well to bear in mind that he always speaks for himself. Under these circumstances, these re- ports are unworthy of credence until publicly corroborated by him. might add that he is not likely to make any declaration on the subject"
 MT. Hanly remarked tonight that the letter was characteristic of MT. Hughes, as his answer to other similar requests had been T have nothing to say in public or in private on that issue.'"
