MAINTAIN AMERICAN
 RIGHTS, HUGHES' PLEA
Addresses Five Gatherings in New York Today
 Campaign Closing.

New York, Nov 4.-Charles E. Hughes in the first of a series of five noon day campaign speeches here to- day declared that "rights cease to be rights if they are not enforced" and that ''there will be no lasting peace if the nations honor is not main tained."
 "There has been of late, it seems to me, a growing tide of sentiment in this country" he said. "The Ameri- can people know very well what poli- cies are essential to their welfare. They are not likely to be deceived by any delpsive statements with respect to either peace or prosperity. There will be no lasting peace if the nations honor is not maintained. There is no lasting security unless American rights are fearlessly main tained throughout the world. Our peace depends on the confidence and esteem which we secure and hold by justice, by firmness, by courtesy and by the manifestation of that cour- ageous and indomitab ble spirit which gave us our country and preserved the Integrity of our country.
 That is not the path to war, that is the way to maintain self respect. Rights cease to be rights if they are not enforced"
 Charles E. Hughes finished his pres idential campaign here in whirlwind fashion. Instead of resting during the day as he had intended to do. the nominee faced a program which called for five speeches during the afternoon in addition to the rally tonight at Madison Square Garden.
 RepuDncan campaign managers have made elaborate preparations for the Madison Square meeting and the parade preceding it. They plan to have thousands in line, red fire, uni formed paraders, torchlights and what they have characterized as mon ster wheel of f1ame' with lines of marchers as it's spokes. These spokes will come together In Fifth avenue and well be reviewed by MT. Hughes former President Taft and other prom inent republicans.

WILSON LANDSLIDE SAYS ]. M. PARKER Suhragist Districts Also for
 President REPORTS FROM STATES
Mrs. Bass Says Women's Votes Will Garry Suffrage States by "OVer- wheclIning ajorities"-Canvass of West Virginia Favorable.

Long Branch, N. J., Nov. 4.-Presi- dent Wilson at an "Old Home Day. celebration here today planned to close his campaign for reelection with an address to his fellow citizens of New Jersey.
 Special trains were engaged to bring to Shadow Lawn residents of Jersey City, Newark, Trenton and other sections of New Jersey, and the Wilson managers said many more democrats would come by other con- veyances. The president began his speech at 2:30 o'clock.
 To his friends here early today the president expressed confidence over the outcome of the election Tuesday.
 The attack made on the president last night by Colonel Roosevelt went without official notice here today, all though it was said MT. Wilson might allude to it indirectly this afternoon. Thus far he has mentioned neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Mr. Hughes by name in any of his speeches.
 "A Landslide'-Parl>er.
 President Wilson was assured today oy John M. Parker, progressive can didate for vice president, that pro- gressives throughout the middle and " estern states were coming to the presidents support and that ''the elements of a landslide are appearing
 c. w. Watson, democratic national committeeman from West Virginia, telegra phed the president, saying a careful canvass of his state showed it would go democratic. Senator Walsh of Montana, in charge of western dem mocratic headquarters at Chicago, sent a message that North and South Dakota and Illinois were sure for the president. Messages predicting vic tory were also received at the execu- tive offices here from Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Have No Influence.

Vienna, via London, Nov. 4, 3:55 a. m.-The Austro-Hungarian press which a week ago paid no attention to the American presidential cam paign, has discussed the subject dur ing the last few days as thoroughly as the fragmentary reports reaching Vienna will permit.
 Generally the papers express the opinion that the result of the presi- dential election will have no influence upon the war.
 "The presidential election in itself is a matter for which the political life of Europe has no parallel. Questions in many cases more important than problems associated with the election of an executive chief in the United States are often decided in Europe by vote in parliament. The presi- 6ential election is an internal affair in which questions of home politics give the decision. Moderation of this fact is needed to guard against the view that the result of the American election would bring about a great change in the course of Am erican pol icies or would materially influence the public attitude in the United States toward the European war.
 Wilson Will Hold On.
 MT. Wilson, should he remain at the wheel, will not let go the po- litica1 plumb line he has so far held. MT Hughes, should he take Wilson s place, would not guide the policies of the country into new channels. Amer ican policies towards the central states during the coming months gen : orally will remain what they have been, because motives underlying de- Cisions of the American state depart 1nent remain the same. A study of the country leads to the conclusion | that MT. Wilson's attitude differs in TO particular respect from that of in- fuential circles of American people and that the course he has followed | was g, consequence of that country $ | interior nO1icv.''
