HOTTEST SHOTS
IN CLEVELAND

Calls Forth Storm Of
Approval.

CLEVELAND. o.. sept 27.-In-
creaslng the severity OF his attack
against wisconsin. Charles Il.
Hughes Tuesday night, before 5000
persons in the central armory here
challenged the administration to deny
that the president secretly and II.
legally intrigued in Mexico for the
sole purpose of unseating Huerta, q
private enemy.
He dared the president and the
presidents spokesman to repudiate
the private memorandum revealed by
John Lind to the minister OF for

out IL he does not get out; that II IL

Arralgns Rail Surrender.
He assailed the administration for
wrecking an able and patriotic dlplo-
matte service to provide Jobs for de.
serving Democrats. and especially for
supersedlng Myron 4. Herrick, who
had earned the respect and admira-
tion OF the world.
He brought into evidence masses OF
correspondence from tho United
States chamber OF commerce 10 the
president, appealing for time to get
at. the facts before rushing through
the Adamson bill and throwing over.
board the whole principle or arbitra.
ton in industrial disputes.
He presented, clear cut, an mr..
raignment Of Mr.. Wilson's whole pro.
cedure in the Adamson bill matter
as a cowardly surrender, to avoid
trouble, of fundamental principle
of democracy; as false and tricky
attempt to win votes by pretending
that the Adamson law was law re-
stricting the hours of labor and as
dictatorlal accusation OF power over
Congress menacing TO the safety of
the republic

These were merely a few Of the
blows he aimed at wisconsin while
5000 Cuyahoga county folk stormed
their approval. They were seeing
and hearing Hughes at his lighting
best, a Hughes fired by the natural
development OF the campaign to the
heat Of earnestness and indlgnatlr
and of Hughes who. while preserving
temperate, even judicial. dignity OF
phrasing, was able to leave with them
his estimate of Mr.. Wilson.
It was concerning the presidents
attitude in the Adamson bill matter
that Mr.. Hughes put forth most in
tensity. for it Is evident. as the cam
paign drives on and the relative i'm
portance of the issues is weighed by
his mind that he believes his greatest
duty to the people and his most pow
erful appeal as the Republican candl-
date turns upon the exposure OF what
he considers Mr.. Wilson's trlckery
and usurpatIon of authority.
This duty is so imperative to his
mind that he insisted at Toledo at
noon today, in going before laboring
men and talking straight from the
shoulder about the mfsrepresentation
and abuse Of power practiced, as he

Hostile Outbreak Fizzles.
II was currently understood in To-

be reported to Mr.. Hughes that hos

by labor influences friendly to the adj

sense OF fair dealing in the mass.
The attempt to embarrass Mr..
