STOKES LINENS CALL OF
HUGHES TO LINCOLN'S
Says 1t Typifies Demand of Peo-
pie for Real Leader in Crisis.

Trenton, June Ex-Governor Ed
ward c. Stokes, one of the Jersey big
four" in Chicago, came back from the
Republican convention tonight to pay
tribute to Charles +. Hughes, whose
classmate he was at Brown University.
"The nomination of Hughes is one of
the most remarkable incidents in our
political history" he said. at is an
illustration Of the American capacity
for f-government and suggestion
TO ambitious seekers for honors 70
await the call rather than to force their
candidacy and bid for popular favor.
Justice Hughes's acceptance of the
nomination is \ keynote challenge and
puts the Democratic stewardship on the
defensive. IL is comprehensive and
concise; profound, yet clear; states
manlike and American. His nomina-
ton was spontaneous and so devoid of
political manipulation that it is in no
sense partisan. II typihes the demand
of the people for leader 20 point out

Chicago, June 11.-Frank II. Hitch
cock issued this statement tonight:
81 am not a candidate for the chair
manship Of the Republican National
Committee or for public Office Of any
kind. My activities before and in the
convention were prompted solely by
the desire to assist in rendering what l
conceived to be an imperative service.
although fully aware that Justice
Hughes was not Presidential candi-
date and preferred to remain on the
bench. | could not believe that he would
refuse TO respond to the call Of his
party at this critical time. In cooper
ating with others for the accomplish
ment Of his nomination acted entirely
upon my own responsibility and with
out the slightest intimation Of his APP
proval or acquescence.
His nomination was the result Of
an insistent popular demand that
finally gained expression in the
unanimous call Of the convention. To
me the privilege Of participating in
movement so filed with promise OF
Republican victory is satisfactory
enough. ! shall gladly leave TO others
the arduous work of conducting the

Broadway strollers were privileged
early yesterday morning to take part
in an exciting chase after a stolen
automobile. The blowing of police
whistles and the rapping of clubs on
sidewalks brought hundreds of them
to Thirty-eighth Street, between
Fifth and Sixth avenues, where the
last scene of the pursuit was staged.

after it, calling TO the men to stop
and Carey blew fervently on a police
whistle.

Says Hughes Will Aid
Campaign Publicity

Perry Belmont, as president of the
National Campaign Publicity Associa-
tion, issued a statement last night de-
claring that the nomination of Mr..
Hughes was Of the utmost significance
in its relation TO campaign publicity
and its Importance to the national de-
fence. Mr.. Hughes was one of the first
TO Join the association. In his state
ment, which follows, Mr. Belmont said
that the election Of Mr.. Hughes would
undoubtedly mean the passage OF a
Federal law compelling the publication
Of all campaign contributions;
"The selection Of Mr.. Hughes as the
candidate Of the Republican party is
Of the utmost significance in it's rela-
tion TO campaign publicity and its i'm
portance to the national defence. The
American people are willing to prepare
their navy and army for the national
defence, but the State Department and
the diplomatic service-its first line
demand equal attention. The heads Of
the State, Navy and War departments
should not be selected on account of
past or anticipated political service.
Party organization under our party
government requires recognition of
service. but let such recognition not
infringe upon the national defence,
The campaign publicity movement had
its origin in the Presidential election
Of 1904 The agitation over contribu-
tions of corporations led TO an investi-
CATION in New York by a legislative
committee. Of which Mr. Hughes was
the counsel. Governor Hughes in his
first message TO the New York Legis-
lature said:
"'There is no better way Of putting
an end to bribery and corruption than
by compelling full publicity as 70 cam
paign expenditures, and this was the
intent of the legislation last year. From
the statement filed after the last cleo.
ton the public has learned Of the large
amounts needed for legitimate uses in
a campaign, and party organizations
have secured from their managers ar
account Of the manner In which the
money intrusted TO them was spent
The value of this legislation is princi-
pally found in the means provided FOL
the scrutiny Of the statements sled

PARTY LEADERS
BESIEGE COLONEL
Continued from page I

the Colonel's secretary, John McGrath,
and other Progressive leaders get back
from Chicago with intimate and full
reports Of the happenings Of the two
conventions, particularly the Republic
tonight that George W. Perkins,
George B. Cortelyou and William Loeb,
jr, three of the most conspicuous
workers at the convention, will visit
Sycamore Hill tomorrow.
1t is believed that even these men
will urge him to support Justice
Hughes with more than acquiescence.
And this belief prevails despite rumors
that many Of the Progressive leaders
feel that the Colonel was tricked
again in the Republican convention and
have hopes of arousing his old fighting
spirit to the pitch of entering the lists
a second time to whip the Republican
"old guard
Believe He Is Popular Choice.
Some Of these leaders feel that the
same men, in the Republican party who
were responsible for the Colonel's de-
feat for the nomination in 1912 have
put il over" again in spirit of re-
venge. You cannot make those close
to Colonel Roosevelt believe but that
the popular will Of the country de-
manded him for the next occupant of
the White House.
At any event, many important con-
ferences are expected to take place at
Sycamore Hill during the next few
days. Groups of Progressive leaders
are expected here. some for the pur-
pose of trying to draw the Colonel out
of his retirement into the campaign
for Hughes. Others are expected TO
plead with him as ardently to accept
the Progressive nomination, in the face
of almost sure defeat, but as matter
Of keeping the Progressive party alive
10 face the possibility Of its need in
the future. should the other parties
continue to "pussy-foot" in regard TO
the most vital national issues.
A definite forecast at this time as 10
just what the Colonel may do in the
face of strong arguments from both
sides is impossible. He has said moth
ing publicly further than that he has
left II entirely with the Progress
sives." Considerable significance was
attached TO the report here to-day that
Justice Hughes would be in New York
tomorrow and meet ex-Attorney Gen
eral George w. Wickersham. The re-
port reached here last night that Mr.
Wickersham was on his way TO Saga
more Hill.
The kilograms from all parts Of the
country being received here are still
swapping the telegraph operators. The
great majority of these commend the
Colonel's attitude in declining the Pro
gressive nomination. Others declare
that it is his duty TO accept that nomi'
nation and fight with his party 70 the
finish. Several messages have come
from Democrats thanking him for with.
drawing from the campaign. Many OF
the messages are said to be worded ir
strong language. Some are said &c
point out that the country's welfare
hangs in the balance and urge him tc
support Hughes.

ATTACKS DUAL
SUBWAY CONTRACT
Investigator Intimates "Inadyan-
tageous Offer" May Be
Called Illegal.

Senator George F. Thompson, speak
ing last night at the Church OF the
Ascension. launched a bitter attack
against the city's dual subway con-
tract, and intimated that the Federal
courts would be called upon to de-
clare its llegality. He referred TO the
Public Service Commission as an "aid"
TO the great corporations whom it was
created to bend to the city's interest.
He was loudly applauded when he
referred to Justice Hughes as "the
next President Of the United States"
After my years investigation as
head Of the Thompson committee"
the Senator declared. 81 have come 10
the conclusion that Of all the offers
made for the new subways in this
city New York accepted the one that
offered itself the fewest advantages
and the one which at the same time
offered the greatest advantages to the
railroads.
Says City Is Tied Up.
New York City will not share in the
profits until 1854, according to the in
formation | gather from the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office. Meanwhile the
railroad gets every preference in the
world. There is not one provision in
the whole contract that was put there
for the benefit of the city. You people
in a city of five million allowed a con-
tract to be made that tied you up for
forty-fve years perhaps even eighty
.
anteed a ive-cent fare. In ten years no
city in this country will be paying
more than three cents carfare.'
"Why can't the contract be declared
Illegal" the Senator was asked.
81 think we will find way for that
before we are through" he returned.

Court. The Court Of Appeals only
called it legal by vote of four to

Speaking Of the Public Service Com
mission, Senator Thompson said:
Interborough Inquiry Planned.
"Our Investigations have disclosed
that the public service corporations re
gard the Public Service Commission a.;
an adjunct of their own activities, and
use il TO explain to the public why the
corporations made unjust dlscrimina-
tions.
"The corporations were really better
of after the commission was created
than before, since they have always
been so strong that the commission
does not dare do anything to them.
This has not been the fault Of the men
who compose the commission, but
somewhat of the environment and
somewhat of the community"
Senator Thompson gave assurance
that before his commission expires, on
July l, it will have investigated the
conditions and hours of labor on the
Interborough lines.

Returning New York Delegates
Expect 100000 Majority in State

rFrom a sian Correspondent OF The Tribunel
Cleveland, June IL Hughes will
carry New York by 100000, in the
opinion Of County Chairman Sam 5.

Koenig is a good guesser.

than they did leaving New York a

they would have 10 support Roosevelt
Speaker Sweet, the most important Re-
publican aboard, is inclined to think
Roosevelt will not only refuse 10 run
against Hughes, but will stump for
him.
"The party Is reunited" he said.
Just watch and see II both Taft and
T. r. do not take the stump for Hughes
and Fairbanks"
Governor Whitman is not with the
party, having left Chicago on an ear

There is some doubt Of state con-
vention being held this year. Under

Strikers, Drilled for Task,
Told to Obey PatrOlmen
and Avoid Disputes.
200 EXTRA POLICE
TO GUARD FACTORIES
Union Scorns Arbitration Move
by Independents" as Plan
to Break Blockade.

Garment making shops which have
the temerity to open their doors this
morning will do so in defiance Of the
largest body Of strike pickets ever
used in this city. More than 10000
striking garment workers and their
friends, including men and women,
have promised to do picket duty at
strike-bound shops this morning.
Strikers were being drilled in scores
of union halls throughout the city last
night to remove possibility Of violence.
Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the
international Garment Workers Union,
said the pickets had been instructed
to obey any orders that might be
given by police. not to argue with the
police under any circumstances, and
to avoid all arguments that might lead
to difficulties.
New Independent" Move Blocked.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to picket the eight factories in
the block between Fifth and Sixth Ave
nues on Twenty-fourth Street, which
normally employ $500 workers. These
shops are owned by men prominent in
the manufacturer association, and II
is expected every effort will be made
by the employers body to keep them
open.
Garment workers officials denounced
the application of two new "independ-
ent" associations Of manufacturers. for
arbitration with the union as another
effort further TO complicate matters.
President Schlesinger said the en-
ployers planned TO have the "independ-
ent" shops apply for arbitration, which,
If accepted, would carry with it the
right 70 open and continue business
Meanwhile the shops opened under
this arrangement would take over the
contracts of those compelled to remain
closed, thus destroying the one weapon
in the hands OF the union that Of
tying up fall business now in the hands
Of the garment making shops.
200 Extra Police on Hand.
Two hundred additional pstrolmen
have been assigned 10 help Inspector
Frank J. Morris, of the Sd Inspection
District. The men will be stationed
about the picketed plants to keep all
pickets moving. Under orders given
last night, no picket or guard will be
permitted to stand before any business
house.
The union officials said last night
that the strikers already had sacrificed
Sl,0OO.OO0 in wages during their period
Of idleness. As the busy season will
open soon. il is said that the weekly
loss in earnings will be 100000. or
the original 10000 union men and WON
en- garment workers who walked out
10000 had returned to work under
union conditions. The rest are out
pending a favorable decision on their
demands.
