Rhineclif. n. Y, Nov. 11.-Several
thousand persons greeted President
Wilson with red fire and brass band
tonight when his train pulled into Al
bany. II was by far the most enthusi-
astic reception he had been accorded on
his present trip. The tracks for sew
eral miles outside Of Rensselaer,, across
the river from Albany, were illumi.
mated with red fuses, and pictures 81
the President posted on fences were
lit up with torches.
The same kind Of torpedo popping
which marked arrival of the train
in Troy yesterday began north OF Ren5-
selaer and continued across the river
until the train came to stop in the
sheds, where people jammed both sides
Of the track. They stood on baggage
trucks, clung to posts and even to tops
of cars, while the band played Amer
lea"
The President and Mrs. Wilson both
greeted the cheering throng from the
rear platform. The train ran as spe-
cial from Williamstown, but at Albany
the Presidents car, Mayflower, was at
tached TO a regular train. While it was
being switched in the yards the shrek
ing of locomotive whistles was deafen-
irg. From all parts of the city came
the answering blasts Of factory whis-
lies and even the boats on the river
were footing.
A committee headed by former Gov
ernor Martin II. Glynn and including
Patrick +. McCabe, Peter G.. Ten Eyck,
H. Paige Smith, Dave Walsh and other
Democratic leaders in Albany, boarded
the train in the yards and rode across
the river TO Rensselaer,.
From there all the way TO RhinecliY,
where several hundred more cheered
the President as his launch bore him
out 10 the Mayflower, the train was met
by cheering crowds at every station.
I'VE want Woodrow" shouted a
crowd of men and boys at Hudson
"Where Is Woody" The President
finally was compelled to put on his
overcoat and pay another visit to the
platform. Another crowd met the train
with a band and torches, at German
town, but such a brief stop was made
that they obtained only a glimpse OF
the President as the train pulled out
At Troy the party was given another
ovation. The President stepped to the
platform and shook at least 200 hands
before the train pulled out.
"How's the baby?" some one shouted
referring to the Ssyre baby. whose
christening the President attended in
Williamstown. Fine, fine" exclaimed
the President.
