Largest AuditOriumS in New York City Are Not
 Capable of Holding
 Mammoth Crowds
DlSAPPolNT THOUSANDS
President Is Greeted by Two of the Largest Audiences Ever
 Assembled.

NEW TURK, NOV. o.-4eAs Ol thousands heard President Wilson in political addresses last night and tens of thousands were disappointed. The doors at the Madison Square Gardens were closed after 10000 had been seated and at Cooper Union hall after 15,OOO had gaineid admit tance the police guarded the doors refusing any more admittance. At both places thousands were unable to gain admittance and they slow ly dispersed. Many women were crushed and the police and ambu- lance crowd was kept active for hours.
 Owing to the overflow from both meetings, the President addressed several thousands at an open air meeting after the indoor rallies.
 The Presidents political evening started with a torch light parade said to be the largest ever held by Tammany. Thousands lined the streets along which the parade passed. The crowds attending the political meetings were beyond comparison with any similar event ever held in this city.
 During his addresses of the eve ming. President Wilson charged that many men, who constitute what IS known as Wall Street, ever seek to dominate the nation.
 Do you wonder said the Pres ident in his speech at Madison Square Garden, that I do not call them into consultation And yet tell you that they will be welcome the moment they come to me with the avowed purpose of cooperation with me, and they will not be wei come until then. I can assure you of this fact"
 President Wilson in his address at Cooper Union Hall assured those in the audience that the business in- terests of the country had been safeguarded under his administra- tion and would continue to be if he was reelected.
 The roots of business, my fel- low citizens" said the President, lie deep in hearts and thoughts and lives of the people who daily crowd about us on the streets and on the country sides.
 "0ne thing that has disturbed the thoughts of a great many men in recent years in this country, is that the general body of the people have got the impression that they are being exploited that they are be- ing used that their vitality IS be- ing drawn upon ia order that others might prosper and they get only the crumbs from the table"
 At the open air meeting Presi- dent Wilson discussed shortly sec tionaism0 and as at the two pre- vious meetings, frequent burst of applause interrupted him.
 President Wilson left today on the yacht MayilOwer for Shad- ow Lawn. He expressed the senti- ment of the Democratic campaign committee when he stated: T feel sure of not only the City of New York but also the State of New York"

waste is poor carburetion. Be sure
that a competent man adjusts the
oarburetor and instruct him to set it
for economy and not maximum power,
for that will consume more fuel and
will constitute waste under average
conditions.
Stop the engine the moment you
are not driving the car See that the
piston and rings are in good condition
and do not leak, as the compression
pressure must be maintained. The
ignition must be properly taken care
of.
See that the spark plugs have the
right gaps, and are clean. Have the
breaker points, or spark regulator, and
timing set so that good spark is
obtained, as a good spark means a
lot in gasoline economy.
Note carefully that the bearings and
connecting rods are properly fitted.
Don't run your car if the bearings
,are tight, as they create friction and
this requires power to overcome II
