New York, oct. 24.-Candidafe
Charles E. Hughes, speaking in
Greensboro tonight, may have some
thing to say about the hyphen charges
The candidate himself was silent early
today, but those close to him suggest
ed he may reply to the Democratic
claims
The Democratic national committee
continues its hyphen drive against him
today Their latest installment in the
series concerning the admitted con-
ference between Hughes and the
American Independence conference
linked the name of Supreme Court
Justice Cohalan of this city as with
the hyphen organization It named
him as a speaker to the ''conferees'
and claimed he had urged getting in
touch with Republican leaders more
closely.
Answering this, Chairman WILCOX
of the Republican national committee
reiterated his statement that Hughes
had made the organization no pledges.
had entered into no agreement or
deal.
Claim Anti-AIIies Speech Followed.
The Democratic contention is that
Hughes uttered anti-ally attacks sub
sequent to his conference with the in
dependence group. At one point, the
Democratic document says. his attack
on Wilson's Surrender to force" in
the eight-hour law was regarded as
strong, but not wholly satisfactory
Wilcox charged that the Demo-
Gratis were seeking hyphen favor The
Hughes talk with the Independence
organization and the American rights
committee was at the solicitation of
'the organization, he said, while he
claimed the Democrats had sought
council with hyphenc. The RepufE-
can chairman charged the Democrats
had franked out a speech, translated
into German, made by Representative
Lieb of Indiana. Included in the
Democratic statement was a letter to
the clergy in which the American In
dependence Conference invited Dear
Rev. Father" to attend their session at
Milwaukee, October 25. and offered to
pay the clerical expenses.
While the hyphen controversy ragged
betting here stiffened. Some even
money was in sight, tho the prevail
ing odds early were 10 to 8 on Hughes.
Seventy-five thousand dollars bet
made yesterday, the biggest betting
day of the campaign.

BIGGEST CAMPAIGN STUNT.
Monster Celebration Planned When
colonel Roosevelt Hits Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Colone1 Roose-
velts appearance in Chicago Thursday
will be one of the most stirring and
most spectacular events of the national
campaign, if plans are carried to
finish. Plans are being prepared to
make his reception equally as enthusi-
astic as was the greeting accorded
President Wilson last Thursday.
Red fire, brass bands and noise will
rule the day. Two meetings will be
held, at which the Oyster Bay man will
speak, one attended by women, and
the other at the stock yards amphithe-
ater. President Wilson spoke to SINH
lar meetings in both halls
An escort of cowboys will conduct
the colonel from his hotel to the
stock yards pavilion.
The Republican leaders expect the
colonel to go far toward persuading
the recalcitrant Progressives to get
into line for Mr.. Hughes and they
nope, too, that he will be able to stem
the tide of women voters toward Mr..
Wilson.
Denials were forthcoming at the
Republican western headquarters that
the prospective speech of the colonel
in Chicago is being subjected to a
blue pencil, or that the stipulation has
been made that he shall not refer to
the Germans in the manner that he
did in his skin 'em alive" speech at
Battle Creek.
