Oswego, N. Y, Oct. 28.-The special train of Charles E. Hughes narrowly missed running down the re- publican presidential candidate, who was in an automobile, when he re- turned to the railroad station after making a campaign speech here today.
 Mr. Hughes automobile drove di- rectly in front of the train, which, having left the station to turn around while the candidate was speaking, was rot visible around the curve as it was pulling back into the station. The band was playing and the noise of the approaching train could not be heard.
 The automobile backed away in time to avert an accident. It ran into the machine just behind, and the crowd on thetracks scattered quickly. The train was brought to an abrupt stop without injury to any one. ..

HUGHES CLAMORS FOR
 PEOPLES PROTECTION
Says America Must Main tain Rights on Land
 and Sea.

Newark, N. Y., Oct 2S.-Charles E. Hughes today told an audience of Wayne county farmers that America could have neither peace nor security until she was prepared to maintain unf1inchingly the known rights of her citizens on land and sea.
 "Our opponents have told us in very explicit terms" the republican presi- dential candidate said, that the con- stitutional rights of American citi- zens should follow them throughout the world, and that wherever they were lawfully following their business they should have full protection for their lives and property. That princi- pie I believe in, but performance has not matched promises.
 We shall have no peace, no secur-
 ity, unless we maintain our self re-
 spect, unless we have the esteem and friendship of all nations, unless the American flag means justice, courte-
 ous treatment, but firm and unfinch- ing insistence upo Americas rights
 with respect to lives property and commerce on land ana sea through out the world.''
 MT. Hughes spoke in the little opera house to farmers who, coming from miles around, with their families,
 were in line at the door before o'clock Scores arrived to late to find room left in the building. The candidate assailed the demo- 1 cratic party as one "of broken prom ises" citing among other appoint rents and to reduce the high cost of 1 living.
 " Our opponents told us they were l going to reduce the high cost of liv l ing," he said. We now have the
 higher cost of living. They have had 1 a certain policy to which for genera 1 tions they have have adhered. l do
 not regard it as American policy. It
 is very obviously unsuited to the eco- I homie needs at this time. We have now a temporary pros 1 perity, due to the abnormal condf-
 tions we have brought about by the 1 European war But what are the l conditions we have had. It is posi- 1 ble that we can now forget the condi-
 tions that existed in this country be- 1 fore the war? Consider the business 1 depression before the war; consider l the serious condition with respect to
 many enterprises throughout this l country. Plants were closed, others were on reduced time, thousands of
 men were walking the streets of our ] large cities looking for work. It was a day of soup houses"
 1 MT. Hughes declared that to pre- vent repetition" of business depres 1 sion when the war ends it would be l found necessary to apply "the sound republican doctrine of protection Of l protection to American industries" After his speech MT. Hughes left l for Oswego.

INSISTS ON RIGHT TO
 ESTABLISH SUCH RULE
Claim Is Made England Is Violating No Law by Preventing Subjects From Trading With Enemy AL
 though It Does Not Deny to Net- trals Right to Engage in Commer- cial Transactions With Belligerents.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Great Brit aims note in reply to American rep 1esentations against the commercial blacklist was received today at the state department. Arrangements re- garding it's publication will be made later. It is understood to reiterate the contention for the right to black list but offers methods of relief to Americans in certain circumstances.
 The British note is in reply to the American note of July 28, which de- nounced the blacklist as ''an arbitrary interference with neutral trade" and inconsistent with that true justice, sincere amity and impartial fairness which should chara cterize the deal- ings of friendly governments with one another"
 The names of some American firms already have been taken from the blacklist, and the British note is un- derstood to offer means of removing others.
 Englands Arguments.
 The British note is understood to take the line of argument it Is un- precedented for a neutral to claim that a belligerent should in effect compel it's subjects to trade with the enemy, and that it violates no law for the British government to prevent it's subjects for doing so. While the British government admits the rights cf all persons in neutral countries to engage in legitimate commercial transactions, it argues that such a right does not limit the right of other governments to restrict the activities of their own nationals
 The point at issue in the contro- versy is whether the nationality or the t;omiCile of the owner of goods gives charact as neutral or belligerent. Previously Great Britain and the United States have agreed that domi- ic1e was decisive regardless of na- tjonality. The continental European position has been that nationality was decisive. Tn the previous negotiations over the blacklist Great Britain took a position between the two theories.
 The subject probably will be carried on in further diplomatic correspon- dence.

Elm City Contributes Large Amount Governor Holcomb and Other Not ableS Review Parade from City Hall See Bulldog Clash With Washing ton & Jefferson.

New Haven, Oct. 2S.-The welcome to the Second Connecticut Infantry officially by the city of New Haven and from the heart by tens of thousands of her citizen who turned out to see the soldiers, was given today.
 Judging by the extent of the ar engagements it was the biggest demon stration the city has seen in years. There was nothing like it after the Spanish War for this is the first time in half a century that Connecticut men and New Haven sons have been away from their homes on actual military service, at the call of the commander in-chief.
 The regiment arrived from the Mex ican border on Thursday but the real welcome was delayed until today in order that the men might first have their home reunions and then adjust affairs which were most pressing.
 For the welcome the city appropri- ated a considerable sum of money; citizens contributed other amounts, and everywhere merchants and resi- dents hung to the breeze the national colors and bunting bedecking the city and adding to the attra activeness of the decorating for last weeks pageant.
 The Second Infantry under Lieut.. Col. Tilson and comprising the fifteen companies, which Is the war strength, and upwards of HOO men and officers, was escorted by many other military, fraternal and social organizations in five divisions. The city officials with Governor Marcus H. Ho1comb were to review the column at City Hall and later all the soldiers were to go to the Yale Bowl to witness the football game.
 At Yale Dining Hall tonight the reg iment will be given a dinner by the city All militia back from the bor- der as well as the Yale Batteries will be the guests, and President Eadley of Yale will be one of the speakers. An interesting incident developed to- day. The Yale Batteries are expected to take part in the parade, and this will be the last time that the batter ies will appear as units of the national guard Their existence definitely tremi- mates.
