NRS. HUGHES WITH HIM

While Here.
Republican Nominee Here Sat
urday, September 2.

Kansas will entertain Mrs. Charles
Evans Hughes when Judge Hughes
comes to this state September 2 Off
cial announcement was today sent to
Kansas to the effect that the Repub-
lican presidential nominee will be ac-
companied by his wife on his west
ern trip. 1t was also intimated that
several Kansas towns may draw rear
platform speeches when the Hughes
train comes to this state.
Through arrangements announced
today it is probable Judge Hughes will
make a short speech at SaHna. He
may also make rear platform talks at
Abilene. Junction City, Manhattan and
Lawrence. Governor Capper has wired
Chairman Wilcox asking several short
speeches in the state and it is almost
certain that the presidential nominee
will consent to talk in Salina and sew
eraI other towns.
One Hour Here.
The stay in Topeka will be one hour
Judge Hughes and his party of thir-
ty-two persons will arrive over the
Saturday. September 2. The party
will leave for Kansas City on a special
train over the Union Pacific at 1850.
Interest surrounding the visit of
Mrs Hughes, however, has been
dampened by the announcement that
neither Judge Hughes nor Mrs.
Hughes desire special entertainment
In private homes. Mrs. Hughes de-
sires to be taken to a hotel during the
Topeka meeting. The presidential
nominee has also asked that he may
be taken to a hotel following his
speech that he may change linen be-
fore his train leaves for Kansas City.
Only Regular Stop.
The Topeka meeting will be the only
regular stop on the Hughes schedule
through Kansas. Neither at Salina nor
other points will Judge Hughes leave
the train
1t is the plan of Charles Sessions,
provisional chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee, to make the
Topeka meeting the feature event of
the campaign in Kansas. Several
special trains may bring the out of
town crowd to Topeka, while hundreds
in motor cars The fact that a Satur-
day date has been secured is expected
to greatly increase the attendance at
the meeting and it is believed that a
record crowd will hear Judge Hughes
message to Kansas.
The presidential nominee will come
to Topeka from Denver, where he
speaks Friday, September 1. Follow
ing his speech in Topeka, he will go to
Kansas City for a night meeting

In a final effort to prevent a strike,
Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson
held conferences here with Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor yesterday. Meth
er would talk after the meeting. La
Dor men said Wilson merely talked
on the rail strike as an incidental
topic. They said the administration
is becoming worried over Industrial
trouble of the last few weeks and so
close to election time.

VIII Lambast Wilson.
Hughes two addresses tonight will
be the first stump speeches of the ac-
tual campaign. Shortcomings of the
Democratic administration it was
learned today, will be the big theme
of these addresses. The governor is
expected to concentrate his attack on
the presidents Mexican policy, but in
addition will touch upon the tariff and
foreign relations, enlarging and ex-
panding his address of acceptance of
the nomination.
Formation of a Republican ad-
visory committee which, with Chair
man Wilcox will be in direct charge
of the Republican campaign, will be
announced within a few days, it was
learned. The committee will be en-
tirely separate and distinct from the
Repu blican national committee and
form the campaign committee recent
ly formed. The advisory committee
will consist of from five to nine mem
bers and three of the places already
have been tentatively assigned.
To Select Vice Chairman, Too.
The men already selected are Will
liam Loeb, former secretary to Colo
mel Roosevelt; George B. Cortelyou.
also a former secretary to the colonel
and Charles D. Hilles, formerly Will
liam Howard Tafts secretary. The
complete personnel of the committee
will be announced within few days.
Hughes is taking very personal in
terest in the matter of the selection of
a vice chairman of the national COM
nittee, to be in charge of the west
erp headquarters at Chicago, and it IS
likely that he will confer with Chair
man Wilcox and other eaders on this
subject in Chicago. No announce
ment of the candidates own prefer
ence for this job has been forthcom-
ing. but it is said that A. T. Hurt of
Kentucky is being seriously con-
sidered.
