Issues a Statement That Contains Reasons
 Why Wilson Is
 Man Needed.
WALL ST. BACKS HUGHES
Ford Says He is Old Line Republican but
 Wilson Is Man
 of the Hour.

DETROIT, Sept. 27.-Henry Ford, the millionaire automobile man. ufacturer, announced today that he would support President Wilson in the November election and that he would urge everyone he could reach by word of mouth, advertising or any other method, to support the present executive of the United States. Mr. Ford announced his reasons for supporting Wilson in the following statement today:
 I'm for Wilson because he is on to the interests of unseen hands that seek to control the govern ment, and is heading them off.
 That he is on to them and head ing them of is proven by his re- fusal to rush into war with Mexi- co sacrificing the lives of thousands of young Americans to save the dol lars that Wall Street invested in Mexico on gamble.
 But for purely business reason which may appeal more directly to many men for the welfare of the country, the United States demands Wilson's reelection.
 The Republicans are raising a great roar about the eight-hOur law how it will hamper business. I say from experience, not from guess work, that the eight-hOur law will help business.
 T know Hughes - Teddy and Wall Street are behind him.
 T am Republican, but I'm for Wilson"

Doubtful States Are to Be the Center of the Parties Various
 Campaigns.
MIDDLE WEST QUANDRY
Campaign Will Be Far More Exciting Than
 That in 1896
 Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-W. W. Jermane, the well known national newspaper correspondent today sent the following political information to the various papers he represents
 Republican campaign managers, according to advices reach this city from New York, are preparing to focus their attention on New York and certain of the so-called doubt ful States of the Middle West.
 "They regard the New England States and Pacific Coast States, al- so the intermountain territory as sure for Hughes and therefore will pay particular attention to the States of the Middle West regarding which is more or less uncertain.
 Tt is apparent that the Dem- ocrats are preparing to concentrate upon the same territory which will mean a campaign such as was fought out in the Middle West in 1896."

Central Labor Council to Vote on Calling a General Strike
 This Evening.
DECLARATIONS OF LABOR
Claim that Organized En- ployerS Are Trying to Crush the Labor
 Unions.

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-It was an- nounced at noon today that the Central Labor Council will tonight vote whether to call a sympathe- tic strike in behalf of the long shoremen. Messengers were dis patched shortly after noon to all members of the Council to be pres ent at tonight's meeting under pen alty of a heavy fine for absence.
 Declaring that the refusal of the waterfront employers to listen to mediation or arbitration proposals, even from the New Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, had converted their strike into a lockout and fore shadowed a campaign by organized employers to crush all labor unions and make Seattle an Open-shOp town, the waterfront delegates are using every argument to induce the council to throw down the gauntlet without a days delay, and declare a general strike.
 The appeal for the sympathetic strike was made in a communication last week from Riggers and Steve dores' Local Union No. SS-12, the Seattle organization of the long shoremen proper, asking the cOun- oil to concur in a sympathetic strike resolution adopted by their union in special session when fail ure of the mediation efforts became apparent.
