say about the campaign. other
than his statements in his public
speeches" said Guy ". Kelly of

scheduled for O'Clock.
Crowd Enthusiastic.
A good-sized crowd greeted the
Hughes party on Its arrival at
the Union station at 10:45 this
morning. The candidate was well
coined with a cheer and much
ltooting of automobile horns.
The entire party was at once
taken in automobiles up Pacific
avenue, escorted by local repubif-
cans and preceded by a band.
Ii Mr.. Hughes is tired, he does
not show 1t. He looked well and
smiled almost as toothfully as the
strenuous colonel, in response to
the handclapping that broke out
here and there along the line OF
the procession.
The curbstones on Pacific ave-
nue. were fairly well lined with
gazers.
Instead of following the route
scheduled, Nominee and Mrs.
Hughes went at once to the Ia
coma hotel. and to their apart
lments.
