 son closed his campaign for re-elec-
 tion except for speech he will de
 liver to New Jersey friends Saturday
 From the time he arrived in the
 city this morning, he was greeted by
 cheering crowds. In four speeches, three tonight and one at business mems luncheon in the afternoon, he reiterated his conception of the great issue which confronts the United States. He appealed for the princi- ples of progress which would help the obscure" men and women of the land, rather than Wall street in- terests," which, he declared, seek to dominate all things and all men.
 Wall Streets "Genius.'
 The president in his address to the business men who came from all parts of the country, declared that 'the men who constitute what we have agreed to call Wall street" have "a subtle genius for promising seem irgly immaterial changes" when call ed into consultation concerning af fairs of the country, which would eventually lead to the defeat of the main object of the legislation pro- posed"
 Do you wonder" said the presi- dent, "that I do not call them into consultation? And yet I tell you again that they will be welcome the moment they come to cooperate, and they will not be welcome until then"
 The president assured his auditors that the business interests of the country had been safeguarded under his administration and would con- tinue to be, if he is reelected.
 Old-Time Enthusiasm.
 The president gave the Democrats their first opportunity of the cam paign in this city, to rally for an old time political enthusiasm" on a large scale, and from the time of his arriv- al from Buffalo this morning, the president was given almost a contin ual ovation. Large crowds, in which were many railroad employees, cheer ed him as he stepped from his private train at the Grand Central station, ac- companied by Mrs. Wilson and other members of his party. The president was driven to the presidential yacht Mayflower, off the New York Yacht club at the foot of East Twenty-third street, where he remained until 12:30, when he left for luncheon with the Wilson Business Mems league. Great crowds lined the streets and cheered the president and Mrs. Wilson. In the afternoon. he visited the Demo- cratic headquarters.
 Crowds Are Enormous.
 tonight torchlights and red fire hlazed in Fifth avenue, as the hosts Of Tammany Hall, headed by Charles Y. Murphy, advanced upon Madison square Garden, which was besieged oy the crowd before the arrival of the president. Two hours and a half be- lore MT.

 Holders of reserved seats strOve in yam to reach the entrance. The seat lng capacity had been increased to io'oOo, but it seemed after the dools had been opened and the last bit of room had been occupied, that the slze Of the throng outside had not been perceptibly diminished. In the crush z about the doors many women fainted.
