ROCHESTER, N. r., Oct. 27- Charles E. Hughes tonight replied to statements in President Wilson's Gin cinnati speech concerning prepara- tons to meet commercial competition after the war.
 MT. Hughes told an audience here that the administrators views re- minded him of its views on prepared ness in December 1914. which were afterwards changed; that he con sidered the anti-dumping provision of the revenue bill, intended to meet the situation as "farcial," and worse than useless" to protect American workmen; and that even if the per centage of exports of commodities to supply armies was small, it required but very little to contract or de. stroy the prosperity of the country.
 The nominee addressed an audienc9 that cheered him repeatedly. He told them that, as he had been whole gov ernor Of New York he was now. and should be in the future; that he was willing to stand or fall by what he believe to be right.
