Far From Being a
Man Of War.

UTICA, N. T., October 27.-Charles e.
Hughes today told an audience here
that a vote for him, far from being a
vote for war, was vote for lasting
peace. Mr. Hughes also declared that
he would leave to the Secretary of
War his difficulties in the effort to ex-
tricate. himself from the unfortunate
suggestions which were. reported to
have been made by him in q recent ut
terance." It was Mr.. Hughes FIRST speech
In beginning a two-day campaign In
New York. -.
1T Is said that a vote for me means
vote for war;" MI. Hughes asserted
What q preposterous suggestion! A

honor Of the country. for maintaining
both the self-respect and the esteem OF
all the nations Of the earth.

II leave to the Secretary of War his
difficulties in the efforts to extricate
himself from the unfortunate sugges-
tions which were reported to have been
made by him in a recent utterance.
Il shall not follow him in that utter

State only recently, should ever think

freedom and OF our patriotic FORE

Mr.. Hughes left Boston early today.
The first speech on his days progra m
was here shortly after noon. His
itinerary called for his staying here

Auburn and Geneva, and he will then
leave for Rochester. where he is to
make night speech. He will remain
in Rochester over night. and continu-
ing his campaign in the state. will
