"The women arc roirg 20 have the
last word in the election Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States in this cam
paign.'
This was the prophecy made yester-
day in the headquarters of the National
Women's Republican Association at az
Broadway. where Miss Helen Varick
Boswell is president and Mrs. John
Hays Hamond honorary president.
Women are, of course, accustomed to
having the last word any way. But
never in their past history have they
had so many and such powerful or
CARNATIONS as may enable them to do
it in the present instance.
To make good its prediction the
National Womens Republican Associs-
ton will get the business women of
the country in line for Hughes. II is
believed that because they have so
great an interest in the establishment
of the prosperity of the country on a
sound basis that they will be among
the strongest allies of the Republican
nominee for President.
Business Women in Line.
"Never before have the business
women of the United States been or
gained to work for any party or candi-
date" officials of the association said
yesterday. 1--WE believe that they will
be a powerful factor in the campaign"
Women in executive positions or
owners of business enterprises will be
assembled in this group. The Republi-
can advertising women will bend their
energies toward advertising Mr..
Hughes and the other nominees OF the
party. The women's auxiliaries of the
labor organizations are expected to
affiliate themselves with il.
The National Women's Republican
Association differs from the women's
committee of the National Hughes Al
lance and from the New YORK City
Wcmen's Committee of the Hughes AL
hance, formerly the Women's Roose-
Welt League, by being purely a party
organization. Republicanism in the
home. in the state and in the nation is
its slogan. IL will, however, cooperate
with the other organizations for
Hughes. and welcomes them especial
~. because they make an appeal TO in
dependent voters.

DEMOCRATS HOPE
TO GAIN In MAINE
Chances Said To Be Good
for Wilson in Pine Tree
State Fight.

The chances for Wilson in Maine was
a pertinent subject of discussion at
Democratic national headquarters yes
terday. Franklin d. Roosevelt, As
sistant Secretary of the Navy, and Rep
resentative Alfred G.. Allen, of Gin
cinnati, who have recently been in
Maine, visited headquarters and en-
couraged Chairman Vance Mccormick
as to the Democratic chances IN this
Republican stronghold.
81 am Just back from a week in the
eastern end of Maine, close 10 the bor-
der" said Mr. Roosevelt. 81 have been
going up there for many years and
know the settlers. | was greatly sur
prised at the number who felt that Mr..
Hughes's speech of acceptance was
wholly inconclusive. A large number
of the men whom | talked with-fac-
tory hands, mechanics and storekeep-
ers-were regular Republicans who mad
never voted for a Democrat. These
men did not wish to announce publicly
that they would vote for Wilson, but
told me that this was their present IN
tention.
Miss Constance Drexel, Of Philadel-
phia, visited Democratic headquarters
yesterday, and made a statement asking
women not TO take too seriously Mr.
Hughes's advocacy of the Federal suf-
frage amendment. Miss Drexel was re-
Gently converted to woman suffrage by
her observations in Europe, where she
was a Red Cross nurse.
81 am a member Of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage and iirm
believer in the proposed Federal amend
ment to the Conttitution," said Miss
Drexel. 81 listened with rapt attention
TO Mr.. Hughes's statements on the sub
ject both in his acceptance speech and
in his remarks on Tuesday at the Hotel
Aston. When Mr.. Hughes was speaking
as a leader of his party he gave abso-
lutely no support or any hope of sup
port for a Federal amendment, but only
gave his Endorsement before a group Of
women. The records show that Mr..
Hughes did not vote on the suffrage
issue when he had the opportunity in
1915"

Albany, Aug. 4.-Senator William

Bracket attacked Governor Whit

tor Bennett stopped of here on his
wav home after tour of the state
in his canvass for the Republican
nomination for Governor.

"Having gone this far, | have de-
cided TO 20 70 the voters on my
platform that what the state needs
is not more taxes but less spending
There should also be more AIS
elimination in the objects for when

by 1920 the state will have issued
si2O.OOO,OOO of fifty-year bonds 10
build state roads, certain parts OF
which will have to be rebuilt ten times
before these bonds fall due.
"Yet on the other hand the Gov,

Ex-senator Bracket met Mr.. Bennett

irritating about a man who tells you
not TO worry and asks $40 for the ad-
vice.
While "The Boomerang" is not ex-
actly subtle IL most certainly is deft,
which is the better dramatic quality.
IL would be hard to devise n more
effective hit Of stage business than the
incident in the first act where DR. Sum-
ner discovers that his patient is in
love by noting the leap in his pulse
at the mention Of the girls name.
Structurally the first two acts of the
play are better than the last, since
there is a marked falling away from
form at the end. The play lies within
the borders Of light comedy for two
thirds OF the journey. and then lapses
into farce. Its brief excursion into
that field Of drama where people habit
ually open the wrong door doesn't do II
any good, but by that time the play
has piled up so many points that there
is no possibility of giving a decision
against it,
We think "Thc Boomerang" is a good
play, even if it is popular.
Goody Goodyl Another motion pict-
ure play about newspaper life is COM
ing to town. 1t is called Beatrice
Fairfax"
Speaking Of the play, "The Evening
Journal" says:
"ln appearance. in mannerisms, and
in the dash that he puts into all of
his work, Harry Fox Is a splendid ex-
ample Of the star newspaper reporter
who is always on the job, ready and
anxious to take any risk for his paper
and for the good OF humanity"
We had been wondering for some
time lust what actor 1t WIS who re-
minded us of Frank OMalley.
ave know that Beatrice Fairfax
is going TO be ever so true TO news
paper life, for THE Journal continues
"Star reporters are often called upon
TO turn amateur sleuths in their efforts
to get news when IL is news. Often
too. they are forced to resort to dis
guises and to associate with every
class Of inhsbitant Of the underworld
II is in those DISCUSSES that Mr. Fox
will astonish the public. In one cpl
sode he is a Broadway dandy; in an
other a habitue Of an opium joint;
again a member Of notorious gang
OF Black Handlers
There is much truth in that. We our
self know a reporter who looks exactly
like a member of a Black Hand gang
But he has looked like that for so long
that we had ceased to suspect his dis
guise. His name is Parke Healey, OF
something like that.

as Chicago.
FIRST CAMPAIGN
SPEECH IN DETROIT
Women Tell of Plans Already
Under Way to Help the
6. o. P. Fight.

William r. Wilcox, chairman Of the
Republican National Committee, was
much occupied yesterday with putting
the finishing touches on the plans for
the Western trip of five weeks on
which Charles +. Hughes starts to-day.
Many last details had to be attended
10. There are twenty-six scheduled
speeches to be made by the candidate.
Mr.. Wilcox expects to hear Mr..
Hughes's first speech on the trip in
Detroit on Monday:
Mr.. Hughes will come in from
Bridgehampton early to-day and will
remain until his train leaves at 10 p. m.
He is expected to spend some time
during the day at nationa, head
quarters. Chairman Wilcox has
planned TO go as far as Chicago with
the Hughes party. The chairman said
he would not announce the personnel
of the Office force at Chicago head
quarters until ne mad been to that city
and conferred with the Middle West
Republicans.
Everybody Likes the Speech.
Mr.. Wilcox added that his visit to
Washington Thursday and his talk
with many Republican Senators and
Representatives had convinced him Of
the fact that every noted Republican
in the Capitol City was more than
pleased with Mr.. Hughes's speech Of
acceptance. He declined to discuss the
announced intention of Raymond
Robins, who was chairman Of the
national Progressive party at Chicago,
70 join the Republican ranks and sup
port Mr.. Hughes. He said he would
leave it TO Mr.. Robins TO explain his
own action, which he is expected to do
in statement to-day.
Mrs. John R. Speel, of Washington,
president of the Women's National Re
publican Club, called on Chairman
Wilcox yesterday and told him Of the
women's plans for the campaign.
Organization in the West.
She described the club organizations
in Minnesota, Illinois, Utah, Pennsyl-
vania and the District of Columbia,
and declared that the women of those
states would see TO it that Mn Hughes's
suffrage sentiments were rewarded.
The club now numbers 1900 women,
she said, with applications coming in
so fast that there was no telling how
strong it would be a month from now.
Headquarters announced that Mr..
Hughes had been Endorsed Thursday
by the Nassau County Progressive
Committee. At the same time William
VI. Calder, of Brooklyn, was Endorsed
for the Republican candidate for the
United States Senate and Frederick
Hicks, the Nassau Congressman, for re-
election. Nassau County includes
Oyster Bay and is Theodore Roose-
velt's county.

Mrs. Lyons's jewels. Lyons gave chase,
and before the man had been captured,
eight blocks away, two motor cycle po-
licemen and fifty citizens had Joined
the pursuit.
"Why did you want to rob my
housew Lyons asked Frank after the
latter had been locked UP in the Fifth
Avenue police station.

Are you still hungry"
Gust as much so as ever, sir"
Then take this 81 bill and send out

Charles T. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes
spent most of their last day here pack
ing trunks for their coast-to-coast trip.
They will leave here tomorrow for
New York and at 9:35 tomorrow night
the special train, which will take them

Sunday morning in Niagara Falls
While in New York tomorrow Mr.

Mrs. Hughes is taking only one trunk
for the Western trip, but the candidate
has packed three. His secretary, Laur-
ence II. Green, is taking like number
Mrs. Hughes is taking only few
travelling suits and only three hats.
The principal reason for the light
luggage is that Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes
intend not to accept any social invita-

pressed as to a Straight.
out Fight.

The executive committee Of the Pro-
gressive County Committee met yes
terday at the county headquarters, SOB
Fifth Avenue, TO discuss the slate for
state ticket. The committee Endorsed
Judge Samuel Seabury for Governor,
Lucius Tuckerman, of Ulster County,
for State Controller. and cambridge
Colby as their candidate for United
States Senator. That was as far as
they went with any surety yesterday.
The name of Harry NJ. Tod, news
paper man, Of this city, received favor
able mention as the Bull Moose candi-
date for Secretary OF State.
John j. O'Connell, chairman Of the
Progressive County Committee, said
that the work of filling out the state
ticket would be completed in a day or
two and petitions gotten out for the
nomination Of the candidates at the
primaries. There was some opposition
in the committee to putting straight
ticket in the field this fall, but 1t was
overcome.
Ticket a Tentative One.
1t is no secret, however. among the
Progressives that the ticket will be
more or less tentative and the names
of candidates for the various state Of
fees, except those of Seabury and
Tuckerman, would probably be with
drawn in favor of the Democratic
nominees, provided the latter are salts
factory to the Bull Moose.
The Progressves do not intend to
make any concessions to the Democrats
or the Senatorial nominee. They will
not withdraw Mr.. Colbys name under
any circumstances, it was said. The
executive committee also Endorsed
Justice Vernon VI. Davis, whose term
or the Supreme Court bench expires
this year, for reelection.
The Progressive leaders are conf
dent that if the state Democratic or
gsnization indorses Justice Seabury ne
will beat Governor Whitman.
Murphy Opposed to Seabury.
They pointed out that while Charles
F. Murphy apparently was against the
Endorsement Seabury the Tammany
leader did not control the whole state
and the nomination might eventually
be brought about. The Moose leaders
were pleased when they learned that
Senator Robert +. Wagner had de-
clared he would not take the Demo
cratic nomination.
Some OF me politicians declared that
Murphy did not want to elect Demo-
cratic Governor this fall, as he was
fearful of trouble at Albany which
would prejudice the chances for the
election of Democratic Mayor in New
York City next year. The suggestion
was made that if the Democrats prac-
tically assured the reelection Of Gov
ernor Whitman by Offering weak
candidate, they could expect to have
an easier time of it in the city election.
This suggestion was based on the
probability of the Republicans NOM
mating straight municipal ticket in
1917 without fusion.
