But the word was passed that he was
looking better even than when he re-
turned from Africa, and that from now
on he would be at home pretty much
Of the time-at least until the chicago
convention. Then-wel. the regulars

campaign.
In Oyster Bay there was nothing
like a demonstration on the arrival OF

ing his hand and all receiving one oil

other years when Sycamore Hill was
the political hub of the nation. and the
Oyster Bay inn is a busy place, with

operators were Oh duty last night,

DROP RACE BAR
TO ME-. BISHOPRIC
Negro Clergyman's Flo
quence Carries Confer
ence for Eligibility.

Tears coursed down the cheeks OF
the Rev. W. II. Brooks. negro pastor Of
ST. Marks, when the New York Con-
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in session at Peekskill, yester-
day voted in favor Of the proposition TO
permit q negro or member of any other
race TO become bishop. The final vote
was 1913 to Is.
This decision was reached. in a large
measure. because Of a brilliant appeal
in behalf OF the negro by the Rev Mr..
Brooks. Practically all o. the leading
ministers in the conference expressed
themselves in strong terms, but they
accepted the result rs a victory for the
negro pastors eloquence.
One of the disappointments OF the
conference was one more rejection OF
the Western Ohio proposition provid-
ing for the consol dation of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church with the Metho-
dist Protestant Church and the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South. II has
been the dream Of many leaders Of the
church for years 10 see these divisions
of the church united.
During the afternoon a telegram
from President Wilson thanking the
conference for its expression Of conf
dence and support for the Administer
ton resulted in an outburst Of enthu-
siasm.
President Wilson's message, ad-
dressed TO the Rev. Dr.. Reisner, said:
Secretary Daniels has shown to me
the generous resolutions adopted by
the ll7th session Of the New York Con-
ference.
May not express through you TO
the conference my profound apprecia-
tion and my deep sense of encourage
ment that the conference should have
taken such action and my hope that !
may be so guided by Divine Providence
that may continue TO deserve the con-
fdence of my fellow citizens"
To-day will be given over TO religious
meetings and the sessions Of the con-
