BACON REPLIES
TO CHARGES
BY PRESIDENT

New York, Oct. 13-Robert Bacon
former ambassador to France who was
a candidate for the Republican nomina
ton for United States senator from
New York at the recent primary cleo
tions, made public tonight copies of an
open letter. he has written to PreSi-
dent Wilson. with a caption saying that
it is reply Ito an attack upon him by
President Wilson in the course of his
speech at Shadow Lawn last Satur-
day
The letter in part says:
1.-THE statement that it was my
intention if elected senator to pro-
mote the interests Of ore side in
the present war in Europe and
thereby violate my oath Of office,
is beneath contempt. My respect
for the office Of President Of the
United States prevents me from
characterizins such statement as
it deserves. leave my judgment
Of it's faIsity to the public. Anyone
who knows Of me at all must know
that for the last ten years my life
has been devoted to the cause cf
better international relations and
the peaceful settlement of inte~ra-
tionaI disputes.

Steamer Bowie
Reports Submarine
off New England

Boston, Oct. 13.-An unidentified
subms rine off the New England coast
was reported by the steamship Bowie
today at time when the steamship
lane to Europe was dotted with NUM-
tion-la ships just released from the
embargo placed on their movements
after the German raid off Nantucket
last Sunday.
The Bowie bound from Manchester,
Eng, for New York, did not report the
submarines nationality, but gave it's
position when sighted at A. NJ. to-
day, as Lat 4017 north; Long. 6913.
This would place her about 200 miles
due east Of New York, not far from
the scene Of the U-boat activities Of

night a plan to send a delegation to
the headquarters of the Standard Oil
Co. in New York tomorrow was voted
down on the ground that the company
officials might interpret such a move
as a sign of weakening on the part of
the strikers. The subject is under con-
sideration and it was said the delega-
ton might be sent next week.
The police tonight were planning an
other raid on strikers homes on sus-
picion that much stolen liquor was
concealed there.
All Standard Oil tugs tonight were
moored to the piers here prepared for
fire duty. The few ships that were at
the docks in Bayonne were towed away
for safety.
Officials Of the Standard Oil Co.
sent word today to their Office en-
ployes not to report at the Bayonne
Office for one week and that their SAL
aries would be sent to their homes
by check. 1t was said the company
could close its plant for a month or
six weeks, as 1t is four months ahead
in orders. Company officials insisted to-
night that strikebreakers would not be
employed.

ton of the three Of which the troop
train is composed had reached North
Adams, Mass, and was expected to
Friday afternoon, but as the sections
were said to be travelling two hours
apart it could not be stated whether
or not the train would be held at
Portland for the night or sent along
to Augusta. In either case. however,
it was known that the members of the
regiment would remain on the train
until Saturday morning
Statement by Supt. Sanborn
Shortly before o'clock Friday aft
ernoon the first definite news regard
ing the final days travel of the regi-
ment was received when a statement
was given out at Portland by Supt.
F. F.. Sanborn of the Portland divis-
ion OF the Maine Central Railroad, say
ing that the train of three sections, the
first Of which was made up of II cars,
the second CT II cars and the third of
II cars, would reach Portland between
II o'clock and midnight Friday. and
that the members Of the regiment
would pass the night in their cars.
The statement further said that
O'Clock this Saturday morning the reg

which would continue perhaps an hour.

On Mayo's Initiative

Secretary Daniels made it plain to-
night that the admiral had acted on
his own initiative in sending out the
scouting craft on this mission although
when the European war began, gen.
eral orders were issued to the fleet
commanders to take all necessary
steps to safeguard American neutral
ity. SO far as the department knows,
there is no present intention on Ad-
miral Mayo's part to extend his search
south of Newport. Navy officials be-
lieve he had no very definite informa-
ton on which to act.
Policy Of Navy
1t has been the policy of the navy
to investigate reports of secret radio
stations along the coast without wait
ing to determine their creditability
Naval officials have been impressed
with the necessity for running down
such rumors to prevent violations of
neutrality.
