NEW YORK. Oct, 23.-With candi-
dates and their supporters swinging
into the election home stretch, the
hyphen issue popped up today with q
renewed vigor. Democratic charges
against Hughes as to an alleged deal
with hyphens were denied by the re-
publican candidate.
Hughes rested at Montclair, N. J.,
in preparation for a final campaign
dash while Colonel Roosevelt in the
west continued his effort to swing
votes to Hughes and Wilson at Shad.
ow Lawn prepared for ringing Will
son day speech this week.
At the home stretch, developments
rounded today thus:
Democrats claimed Hughes dealt
with the racial organization-the Am
erican Independence conference and
promised a second installment today.
Hughes denied making any promises
in private, though admitting having
had conference with organization
leaders.
Dupont Powder co. officials admit,
ted they would oppose Wilson because
of the munitions tax measure and be-
cause Of the administration plans for
constructing nitrogen factory.
Womens' patriotic societies in
Washington sent President Wilson
resolutions for Secretary Bakers re-
moval from the cabinet for alleged
comparisons of the Mexican revolu.
tionists with the revolutionary sol
diers-a comparison denied by Baker.
Judge F. H. Gary, of the steel cor
poration. back from an oriental trip.
said republicans could well lay greater
stress on the tariff issue.
For the moHent. the hyphen issue,
however, was in the foreground. Ac-
cording to democratic charges.
Hughes visitors saw him after he had
congratulated Colonel Roosevelt for
his Lewiston anti-German-Americ
speech. Then said the democratic
statement, Hughes promised such con-
duct in his speeches as would be sat
isfactory to the organization.
Hughes denial admitted seeing a
committee Of which Jermiah O'Leary
was a member, just as he had met
other groups of callers, but he declar-
ed he had told them only what he had
said in public as to believing in pro.
lection Of American rights.

Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. .23.-That
General OZuna, commander of the ex.
pedition of Mexican defacto troops
sent to capture Villa was killed in Sat.

command cut to pieces and Colonel
Martin Salinas, who succeeded to the

seriously wounded, were the reports
received here today by agents Of Unit

and transmitted to Washington.
Large forces of the bandits under
personal command of Villa were en-.
camped at Fresno, only ten miles west
Of Chihuahua City last night, menacing
the largest and best fortified CITY in
northern Mexico, according to these
reports.
From Mexican official sources, no
verifcation of these reports was avail
able. Since Saturdays battle between
Carranzistas and Villistas, an unusual
ly rigid censorship has been main
tanned by defacto officials and repre-
sentatives of mining companies were
allowed to send only meager details

there was heavy fighting, resulting In
victory for the Carranzistas.

troops into the outskirts. and another
attack upon the northern Mexico CAPT
tai is believed imminent. declared an
unconffrmed report reaching United

cation of this, however, is lacking.
and Carranza officials still insist that
defacto troops are driving the bandits
toward Santa ISABEL.
AN official CarranzistS statement
dated Saturday and made public to-
day by Consul Soriano Bravo, states
that heavy fighting between Vil1istas
and de facto forces continued through
out Friday and Saturday, with very
heavy losses on both sides. The state
ment admitted Colonel Salinas was

The curious sit uation caused by Italy being at war with Austria. while nominally at peace with Germany, was emphasized by an agreement between Rome and Berlin, wherein all rights Of the citizens of one country domiciled in the other were to be respected. On July 16 this agreement was denounced by Italy on the ground if was not being observed by Germany.
