sprinkled with hecklers,- last night re-
piled in answer to question as to
whether he would repeal the Adam

surrender could not be; repealed" =,
Mr.. Hughes was asked what he
would have done to avert the threat
ened railroad strike.
."If arbitration had been refused,
Mr.. Hughes replied, 81 should have
gone right to the American people,

sponsibility where it belonged"

Hughes continued, have secured 4

fair, as to command the respect of
the entire country, and, directing

the business men of the United
States, through the Chamber of Com

was introduced in the senate for an
inquiry, and was laid on the table.
For months the business men of the

time to. ascertain what the facts

utmost confusion. The audience,
which had checred and applauded
loudly in the earlier parts OF Mr..

nominee replied to each question the
audience cheered its approval. 1t Was

MIR. Hughes to step forward and re-
quest that the heckler be allowed to

In the first par. OF his speech Mr..
Hughes also was heckled.
A man with big stick in the gal

labor affairs. He asked a question
that apparently was misunderstood
in the confusion and Mr.. Hughes
amid roar OF applause, read what the

of organized labor had to say in
