TOUR OF HUGHES
NOW IN BALANCE
Loss Of Voice May Cause
Abandonment of Trip.
By WILLIAM HosTER.
UnternationaI New. Service \


South Bend, Ind, Sept. 22-His voice
practically gone-almost a nervous wreck.
Charles z. Hughes struggled into South
Bend tonight, tagged but happy.
It Is an open question whether he will
be able TO resume his speaking tour of
Indiana tomorrow.
With a record OF twelve speeches In
twelve hours Of travel over six rail-
road systems, Hughes has so taxed his
vocal chords that at the big meeting here
tonight, the thirteenth of the day, he
was scarcely able to speak above a
whisper.
All afternoon Dr. Alexander has stood
by with a throat spray. while detectives
held back the crowds.
The committee had planned two big
msetings-one at Marion this afternoon
the other at South Bend tonight. At all
the others Hughes was simply to bow
and smile, say a few words and get
away.
Hughes upset the plan by insisting on
talking at length to every audience that
greeted him. It Is estimated tonight that
during the days run Hughes has spoken
to 10000 people.
No new note was struck by the candi-
date during his days speeches, but at
Muncie he voiced this expression upon
the subject Of Americanism: I am for
the maintenance Of American rights
throughout the world" he said, with
out fear and undinchlngly with regard
to American lives, in regard to American
property and in regard to American COM
merce.
Il am not for peace that surrenders
through an ignoble desire to keep out
Of trouble. The way to keep out of
trouble is to stand erect. to be firm and
to be just"

BRITISH TO FEEL
MIGHT OF U. S.
President Confers with Page
on Retaliatory Measures.
CBy the international New. service

(By the International News service)
Asbury Park, N. j., Sept. 22-President
Wilson conferred with Walter Hines
Page, American Ambassador to Great
Britain, at Shadow Lawn tonight over
British aggressions against American
commerce and seizure of mails. There
are strong indications that a policy more
vigorous than mere protests will be
adopted in dealing with England.
An official close to the President char
acterized the liberties taken by the British
government with the mails of this and
other neutral countries as outrageous" 1"
The President is being supplied with a
great mass of matter dealing directly
with the subject.
The conference with Ambassador Page
was delayed several hours due to a
wreck at South Amboy, which held up
the train on which the diplomatic repre-
sentative came down from New York.
The passengers on the south-bound train,
including Mr.. Page, were compelled to
walk around the wreck to another train
which was quickly made up to complete
the journey
1t is understood President Wilson de-
sired to acquaint Ambassador Page with
the powers recently given the Chief Ex-
ecutive by Congress to order reprisals
against Great Britain or any other nation
which interfered with American com.
merce. 1t is expected that Mr.. Page, who
has been away from his station several
weeks, will return soon to England.
The British reply to the protest Of this
government against the seizure of mails
is now in transit to Washington. 1t Is
considered likely the President has re-
peived advance Information showing that
the document Is not all that could be de-
sired in the way of an explanation.

Federal TRADE BOARD

Information that a petition is being

Trade Commission, to whom the petition

In a statement given out by the com

there is nothing officially known as to
this latest development Of the bread
question. It may be possible that those
who are behind the petition have IN
formation that may lead to an investiga-
tion by the national trade body. Should
such an investigation occur, its finding
may possibly result in the desired en-
barge
prominent local baker said last
night:
Should an embargo be placed on flour
by the government, all complaints as
to the high prices Of bread would cease.
1t is Just this fact Of the enormous
amount Of flour that is shipped to
Europe that IS causing the present agita-
ton. Not only would bread prices stop
rising, but it is my personal belief that
the cost would be cut to some extent
An embargo Of this kind would place
this country in the same position OF
Australia, which country Is at present
using its entire wheat supply, and as a
consequence Of which two-pound loaves
Of bread are selling for seven cents
While it is hardly possible that such
prices would prevail here. 1t is safe to
say that there would be a substantial de-
crease in cost prices
