After seven minutes the south gal

the left and thon to the right. all to-
tetber as one man. Then. uncoiLscIously.
thor bodies followed the beat Of the
flags. They swayed like college cheer
leaders. side to side. left to right.
Mr.. Hughes waved his hand toward
them and laughed. And tn, whole audi

body started the yell Observation-Disclosures

Eleven minutes passed with not a

At s:37 p. NJ, twenty-five minutes
after the uproar began. Mrs. Hughes.
escorted from the box. appeared upon the
platform at her husbands side. The
cheering rose higher as she bowed and
smiled and placed her gloved fingers
upon Mr.. Hughes's shoulder.
Mrs. Hughes possesses a very appeal
Ing personality. Everywhere crowds
have responded to her smile and gentle,
~seif-enacing manners.
Last night the audience responded In
etahtly and gave to her probably the
finest reception a woman ever received
In the historic auditorium. But nobody,
not even Charles T.. can keep Mrs.
Hughes In the limelight very long. After
a bow or two and "a delighted glance all
around the flutter OF flags, she disap-
peared back into the platform crowd.

At 1855 p. NJ. Chairman william A..
Prendergast began 70 make himself

gusts OF laughter, waves Of yelling.
Somebody shouted "IIooray for Teddy :"
and they were of again. At 80 T.. NJ.
Mr.. Hughes began TO speak.

OF a place, a hall OF vast distances and
deep CULTS. a place IN which, the indif-

voice that can make itself audible to
