HUGHES SEES Policy
ENDORSED BY MAINE
Republican Nominee at Piattsburgh
Lays Down Uitimatum Before
--.--- Assoc

Plattsburg. y. Y, September "a
With Maine as his text Charles F.
Hughes tonight flung answer and
defiance to his critics, old guard or
otherwise, Hughes reads in the Maine
returns a vindication of his campaign
policy. refutation of the charges OF
apthy and mismanagement and a war
rant from the rank and file of the Re-
publican party to move along on the
lines he has LAID down
1t can be said on authority that
there will be no change of campaign
management. Neither will he vary a
iot from the nature OF the speeches
he has been delivering during the H.
0h0-mile tour which came 20 an end
tonight.
BY way of giving emphasis of his
position. he reiterated tonight in out
line every item in his oratorical
repetoire which has been subjected
to criticism as academic or wishy-
washy Speaking before an enthusi-
astic audience of 1900 in the Platts-
burg Theater here. he laid down this
ultimatum:
Il come to you as the spokesman
Of a reunited Republican party. We
have said 1t was reunited, we have be-
lieved 1t was reunited. we have de-
votedly hoped II was reunited. Now
Maine proves that 1t is reunited.
whoever was skeptical about that
before must hide his cynicism now
We shall abandon no efforts We shall
not change our plans or our aims. We
shall 60 forward with renewed sonfi-
dence because the old State In the
northeast corner has spoken in no un-
certain voice."

WERE GOING ON HORSE BOAT
Employment Agency Said to Have
Provided Citizens Clothing After
Securing Jobs For Men--Four Go
on Reserve List.

Efforts made by three troops at
Camp Stuart to desert and take pas
sage on horse boat for Europe yes
terday furnished headquarters at
Camp Stuart with concern somewhat
out of the ordinary. After meeting
with some difficulty in arranging for
employment aboard one of the ships
sailing yesterday. the men were finally
gotten out of the city in citizens
clothes and sent to Newport News. 1t
was understood last night that they
had been arrested there, and Colonel
Salomonsky was in long distance
telephone communication with the
police of Newport News in an effort
to learn something of the details.
1t Is understood that four members
of the troops at Camp Stuart made
application at the Virginia Business
Exchange for employment on a horse
boat. but that agency refused to ham
die them when they could not show
their discharges 1t is said that they
went to another employment concern
here. successfully arranging for their
transportation to Newport News.
Say Agency Furnished Clothes.
1t is alleged that this agency fur
nished the men with citizens clothes
in which to make the trip. Before
the train left the city camp head
quarters were notified and they dis
patched guards to the station. but due
to the men being in civilian garb they
eluded the watch, When the men are
brought back to the camp they will
face a serious charge, and it Is also
likely that the persons said to have
furnished the troops with clothes in
which to make their escape will be
prosecuted by the government.

RAPIDLY NEARS END.
RESIGNATION PREC1PI.
TATE.D ANOTHER CRISIS IN
CABINET.
MINISTRY MUST QUIT
GARNET MEMBERS FINED JOB
HOT-AIIIIES WITHDRAW TER
RITORIAL OFFERS. YET
GREECE MAY JOIN THEM.

London, Sep f2.--Premier Zaimis,
or Greece, has resigned. With the
now cabinet crisis thus arising the
final act in the drama of Greek in
decision is about to be staged. and
allied reports from the Balkans agree
that when the curtain rises for the
new ministry, Greece will be found
party TO the war on the allies side.
Dispatches as to King Constantine's
decision regarding his premier's resig-
nation are conflicting.
An Amsterdam dispatch quotes
German newspaper, the Arbeiter
Zeitung, as reporting the forthcom-
ing appointing of Venizelos to the
portfolio as war minister. 4
Reuters telegram from Athens as
serts the Greek premier's resigna-
ton was accepted.
This is contradicted by another dis
patch from the Greek capital, which
says that Zaimis withdrew his resig-
nation upon the personal request OF
King Constantine, and an expression
of confidence from the diyl1matic
representatives of the entente
The internal situation. not the for
eign relations of Greece. are re-
sponsible for Zaimis' request TO be
relieved of his office. dispatches state
1t is emphasized that 1t was not due
TO the French legation incident.
Hired to Create Disturbances.
Following the prime minister's ac-
ton several members of his cabinet
called at the palice this morning and
declared it was impossible for the
ministry to remain in power.
An Egyptian Greek named Canelo-
poulos confessed to having created the
II disturbance he
ton last week. He asserted he was
hired for the purpose with forty deni-
zens of the Athens gas house dis
trict. Out of difference to Greek feel
ings, the French flag was hauled down
on the French legation last night.
The legation is still protected by 4
strong guard of French marines.
Territorial Offers withdrawn.
Munitions and equipment are all
that the entente offers Greece in re-
turn for intervention. it was learned
today. All former territorial offers
have been withdrawn. II she sides
with the allies. she will do so without
any future guarantees.
This is the main reason the Hell
lenic government continues to hold
out. Coupled with II is the theory
widely held in Greece that il Ger
many energies from the war as the
arbter in the Balkans, she will amply
reward Greece for her neutrality in
the face of the strong allied pressure
For the entente a prompt decision
on the part of Greece is now impera-
tive because of the danger presented
to the Franco British expedition in
Macedonia by possible future Greek
turn to the central powers. which

A dispatch to this effect was re-

Russian troops are cooperating with
the Russian Black Sea squadron in
dicates that troops have been landed.
for II is not believed possible that the
Muscovite army, operating at last ac-
counts in the Dobrudja, has already
crossed into Bulgaria and without re-
sistance has reached Narna.
Dispatches from Petrograd and
Bucharest several days ago stated
that the Bulgarians had evacuated
Varna. This port has been shelled

PLAIN NEUTRALITY VIOLATION
Steamship Cebu Halted by British
destroyer on Carabao Island on
Prricxt of Looking For Man Named
Badly

Washington, Sept. 12-Another
American ship has been held up by
a British destroyer within American
waters and her manifest and passen-
ger list arbitrarily examined.
The ship was the American steamer
Cehu. The search took place a mile
and a half inside the territorial limit,
off Cardiac Island, in Philippine wa
ters, early Yesterday.
Brigadier General Lggett COM
mander of the American military
forces in the Philippines made the
official report to the War Department
today through Governor General Har-
rison.
Subject of Protest.
The dispatch was transmitted by
the War Department TO the State De-
partment. II was said today ii will
be made the subject of protest. This
afternoon Secretary Lansing said
nothing had been done about it yet.

Clear Case OF Violation.
This case is declared to be a clear
example of violation of American
neutrality.
There has been more than one COM
plant about the activity of the Brit
ish vessels around the Philippines. and
while Governor General Harrison's re-
port furnishes the basis for a specific
protest, II is probable that Great Bril-
tain will be called upon to restrict tho
operations Of her patrolling squadron
generally In and near the territorial
waters of the islands.
In order that there might be no mis-
take about where the Cebu was at
the time she WAS held up. her exact
position was given by the master as
follows:
