DEMOCRATS OBEY
WILSON'S DECREE
Senators in Caucus Agree
to Pass Child Labor
Bill Unamended.
From The Tribune Bureau. }

Washington, July 31.-PresiGent Will
son practically won his fight TO get the
child labor bill through the Senate
without having the immigration bill at
attached as a rider when the Senate
Democrats, by an overwhelming ma or-
ity, in caucus tonight bound members
of their party to vote against any
amendment to the child labor bill
not germane TO the subject. They also
decided not to have a vote on the immi-
grafton bill until December, when it
will be taken up and put through be-
fore any other than routine business is
transacted.
The resolution debating this action
was passed by a vote of 80 TO 7. After
its passage the caucus voted TO bind
all its members TO support the pro-
gramme. This was agreed TO unan-
imously, except that Senator Overman
declined to vote and Senator Ellison
d. Smith, of South Carolina, who had
been leading the fight in favor of pas
sing the immigration bill at this session
and against the child labor bill, left
before the vote was taken
The seven Democrats who voted
against the programme in caucus were
itooho ,. pdihntdus VI fNldbduds DtCH-
ham. of Kentucky; Martin, OF Virginia:
Overman and Simmons, of North Caro-
line; Swanson, of Virginia, and I'm
derwood, of Alabama.
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, an
other leader of the fight against the
child labor measure and for the immi-
grafton bill, was not present, but ~
was voted in favor Of the resolution
by his colleague, Hoke Smith.
II is not believed that more than
three or four Senators, at the outside,
will avail themselves of the privilege
of boiling the caucus, which is extend
ed only 70 those who believe that the
bill 10 which the caucus attempts TO
bind them is unconstitutional. or whose
constituents have instructed them,
through state platforms or otherwise,
against the measure proposed.

party stood up in the aisles and
cheered They tossed little posters to
those who were not already armed
with such documents. in which the
paragraph Of the Republican party
platform in which equal suffrage IS
Endorsed was quoted.
Mr.. Hughes then closed his address
with an appeal to the old American
spirit ,,
There was a clocklike precision in
the manner things were kept moving
throughout the programme. Members
of the notification committee had been
seated but a moment when Senator
Warren G. Harding, who presided,
arose without introduction and made
the address which theoretically car
ried the news TO Mr.. Hughes that he
was a candidate for President.

Senator Harding said:
"Mr. Hughes: The committee here

SOCIALIST SEES
ALLIED VICTORY
Dutch Leader Believes the
War Has Passed Its
Zenith.

The Hague. July 31-The opening
here to-day of the international con-
ference Of delegates of the Socialist
parties of six neutral countries was
marked by an address by the Dutch
leader, VI. Toelstra. who laid stress on
the disastrous consequences of the
war in hampering social progress.
Military successes, the speaker de-
clared, hitherto had been on the side
of the Central Powers. but it seemed
that the zenith had been passed and
the superiority Of the Allies in men
and money was definitely coming into
play. The vital interests of all Social
ist required them to ask whether the
time had not arrived for them to re-
sumo their liberty OF action.
The speaker thought that no durable
peace was possible on the basis of the
present war map or the definite de-
struction of "Prussian militarism." but
Socialists must see that restoration of
the independence of Belgium and Po-
lUHQ ana the CONSTITUTION VI ~ NNh''
cratic Balkan federation were made
essential points of any peace pro-
gramme.
The question of Alsace and Lorraine
was more difficult, the speaker said,
and he believed the Socialist parties
of France and Germany should aim
at some such compromise as had been
suggested before the war
Emile Nandervclde, the Belgian MIN
lister of State, IN a letter explained
that he was unable to attend the CON
gress. but said his neutral comrades
would "have the right and duty OF
speaking as 10 how they were suffer
ing from the war, as it is to their in
terest that peace, when it comes, shall
be Just if il is to be durable.
Morris Hillquit, of New York, In
ternational Secretary of the Socialist
Party of the United States, had been
replaced by Algernon Lee. Of New York.
Mr.. Lee reached the conference some
time after the formal opening.

Notification.
WIFE GIVES HEARTY
GREETING TO GUESTS
Republican Candidate Puts In
His Busiest Day Since
the Nomination.

Charles +. Hughes. after his notfica-
tion meeting in Carnegie Hall last
night, gave a practical and exhausting
demonstration of the fact that the
good old American handshake is with
out terrors for him. He finished his
busiest day and night since his nomna-
ton by shaking hands with fully 1000
men and women who filed through the
grand ballroom of the Hotel Aston.
At the candidates side In the receiv-
ing line stood Mrs. Hughes, whose
nevertiring handshake was as hearty
Next TO Mrs. Hughes was Mrs. William
Hardy, of Ohio, and finally William r.
Wilcox, whom Mr.. Hughes has elected
to direct his campaign.
Practically every one who attended
the notification meeting went TO the
Astor to greet the candidate in person.
The long line began to file into the
grand ballroom at 1915 O'Clock and
the last enthusiast had not had his
turn until 1880. In the brief interval
that elapsed between the close of the
notification meeting and the opening of
the reception the candidate found time
TO dash to his room in the Aston and
change his collar.
Sees Senator Harding.
Mr. Hughes reached the city at 10
o'clock. having left Bridgehampton on
the first morning train 10 New York.
When he arrived at his headquarters
in the Hotel Aston word was conveyed
to the waiting Republicans and Pro
Eressives that il would be impossible
for Mr.. Hughes to see or talk with any
of them before night. Exception was
made in three cases, however, the
nominee spending fifteen minutes with
Senate Warren G.. Harding. of Ohio,
chairman of the notification committee,
and Herbert Parsons, national com
mitteeman from New York.
He also saw William r. Wilcox, his
campaign manager, with whom he took
luncheon. With all three he discussed
details of the notification ceremonies,
and when Mr.. Wilcox left. at little
before 2 o'clock. Mr.. Hughes left word
with the attendants that he would not
see any one Tor the rest of the after
noon except Mrs. Hughes.
When Mr.. Hughes retired to his
apartment dozen kilograms from
personal friends. including one from
William Howard Taft, were handed him.

where he is summering. read:
81 am very sorry that it will be i'm
possible for me to be present at your
official notification, because | antici-
pate a great speech an augury Of
victory"
Mrs. Hughes, accompanied by her
two elder daughters, Helen and Cath
crime. arrived in town at $3.50 o'clock,
having motored in from Bridge
hampton.
On arriving at the hotel Mrs.
Hughes joined her husband. and for
the next three hours the nominee went
over his speech aloud, while mis- chief
adviser" played the role she so often
played when he was campaigning for
Governor of New York State and when
he fought for the insurance and race
track bills.
At 6 o'clock the ex-justice stopped
work for the time being and dinner
was ordered for four. the two
daughters of the nominee joining their
parents.
