WILSON TO MAKE ADDRESSES
DECIDES TO MAKE TRIP ACROSS
THE CONTINENT.
Itinerary Probably Will include Many
of Cities Visited by Hughes
May Review Troops.

Washington Aug. 12.-President
Wilson practically has decided to
make a speaking trip across the cont.
nent. No details of the tour have
been arranged but it was understood
that his itinerary will be worked out
within the next few weeks and will
likely include many Of the cities on
the Hughes itinerary.
The Presidents advisers have been
urging him to make a number of
speeches but he has been withholding
a decision until the work of Congress
had progressed further. 1t was known
definitely, however, that IL present
plans were carried out the President
would go to the Pacific coast.
May Review Troops at Border.
One of the suggestions is for tho
President to review some of the
troops on the border, but no decision
on that has been reached.
Invitations from cities in all parts
of the country are before the Presi-
dent but none will be accepted until
they have been gone over carefully
by Vance Mccormick, chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
and other Democratic leaders. The
possibility that Congress may remain
in session after September / is pre-
venting the President from making
any definite campaign plans. He
wants to make no long trips from
Washington until after adjournment.

addressed to the bro~therhoods and the
railroad managers, pointing out that
such a paralysis of business as would
follow a general railroad strike would
be Il catastrophe at any time, but
would be nothing short of a disaster
under present condition. On this
ground the President based his request
for a conference with representatives
of both factions before a strike order
is issued by the leaders of the men.
Negotiations had not been broken
Off when Mr.. Tumulty left Washing
ton, but when he reached Philadel-
phia he received a telegram from w.

forming him the men had declined to
arbitrate. Mr.. Tumulty's first step af-

to decide upon an hour for the fate

day. The President told Mr.. Tumulty
he would cancel all engagements to
discuss the situation.
