Wi h Mrs. Wilson, Chief Executive is Forced to Scale Fire Escape in Order to Get Into Build ing-Thousands Are Turned Away -Presi- dent Wildly Cheered in His Appeal for Justice to All Mankind-TammanyT Turns Out 25,OOO Paraders to Honor the President.

New York, Nov. 3-In lnmistakable terms New York acclaimed President Wilson yesterday. As far as the inn itations of space would admit, 1nsloe and outside of meeting places, the town hurled itself at him, thousands upon thousands of people anxious to do him honor.
 The elimination of this extraordi- nary demonstration came last night in and about Madison Square Garden. So great was the crowd that sought to hear him that the police were almost helpless. So vast was the throng that men and women of prominence had to climb fire escapes to get within the building. So great was the ovation given him when he finally spoke that he had to curtan his speech to eaten up with his schedule.
 It had been thus all day long. From the moment the Presidents train pulled into the Grand Central TeE- 1ninal in the morning crowds pursued him and cheered him. The. streets were thronged wherever he passed, hundreds rushing from their houses and places of business just for a mere glimpse at him.
 
 > where he addressed nearly 1000 bus mess men of all parties. he was cheered and applauded again ard aeadn. The same almost astounding conditions prevailed in FOrty-second street. when at 3io'clock he visited Democratic National Headquarters.
 At night ,on F1fth avenue, wf1en Tammany Hall paradeAd to show it's loyalty, the scenes of the daytime were repeated. His automobile at one point was brought to a halt by the crowds that obstructed its passage. and every where were cheering, shouting multi tusies all of one mind and with one purpose.
 Speaks to 15,OOO In Garden. Thus, though he. appeared a trifie tired after a crowded day, 1t was a happily smiling President who faced the audience of nearly 15,000 in Madi- son Square Garden last night and brought that crowd a message. The speech President Wilson made was one of the br1efest of the campaign. He Isa1d: Friends and fellow citizens, my fel- low citizens, just one minute, just hear me one moment, friends and fellow citizens, my fellow citizens. It would be impossible to say anything to you Lthat would be worthy of the royal re- ception you have given me this even- ling. It makes my heart very warm that you should come out in such numbers and show such a spirit of greeting and appreciation.
 T have not come to make a long aard elaborate speech to you I have corne to deliver a very simple message indeed feel, as you do at this pe- F4od of the campaign, a very great spirit of enthusiasm for the things that are happening and the things that are going to happen in this great country which we love.
 "But, at the same tiIne, my fellow sodtt1ens, realize that we stand at rone of the most serious turning points an the history of the United States and in the history of the world, turning point deeply serious for the United States and as deeply serious for the whole civilized world.
 'The campaign may be said to be practically at an end, and I think ii Is worth while giving some very seri- ous thought to what the campaign has disclosed. The campaign has disclosed some lines of division in the United States. It has shown the little rifts in the lute upon which we would play the sweet music o1 patriotic unity. It has shown here and there men divided against each other in way which is unworthy of America and ominous for the fu- ture unless it be checked.
 "One of the things that has dis turbed us most is that some ugly things have thrust their heads up that thrust them up four years ago. You will remember, my fellow citizens that fourl years ago we found this sort of division in this country: On the one hand a small body of men seeking to control the resources of this country and seeking to control the business development of this country; that we then made up our minds that we were going to trans fer the power from the small body of privileged men to the great body of sovereign people.
 we effected that transfer. We made it evident that the people of this country were going to act through their veritable representa- : tives; that they were not willing to ' live under the guardianship of men who constituted themselves their privileged guides and the deternniners
 
 of their fortunes.
 "But after four years of that sort of government this same threat of the resumption of control by small bodies of privileged men has made itself evident, and we have again to convince these gentlemen that the government of this country belongs to us and not to them.
 T say this in no spirit of hostility to them. They will be happier, they will be better, they will be more prosperous when they become mem bers of the American Nation than they are when they are seeking to be bosses of the American Nation. It is just as much for their benefit that they should live with us as it that we should live under them.
 And I want you to realize that an- other sort of citizen has shown itself Gn this country "a division that is more
