NE W ATTEMPT TOSHOW HUGHES
 MADE COMP PACT
lspeoial to The Rspuhlioan.l

NEW YORK Oct 23-The specious character of the attempts made by Mir Wilson's campaign managers to indi- cate that Mir Hughes has made a com pact with citizens of foreign extrac- tiQn to present to the public their views Of how foreign relations should be administered is further shown by a letter. made public today by William R. WillcoN. chairman Of the republic can national committee. The letter is addressed to Henry Weismann. presi- dent of the New York state branch of the German American alliance IL was written on stationery of the demo cratic national committee and was signed by an associate of Frederick E. Lynch. chief of it's bureau of political organizations and clubs.
 In this letter MT Weissman was in vited in polite terms to meet Senator Stone. chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee of the United States senate who was in New York on the avowed mission of winning over to Mir. Wilson's support certain citizens of German birth.
 The absurd and disingenous phase of the whole matter" said. Mir Wilcox. @is that while Mir. Wilson's managers have charged specifically on two sepa- rate occasions that Mir. Hughes was compromising with a certain branch of the electorate they themselves were covertly soliciting in a most abject way, the support of members of the German American alliance This is the letter to MT Weissmann:
 New York. Sept ll-16. Democratic National Committee

 My Dear MT. Weissman Senator Stone chairman foreign relations com mittee will be at Waldorf on Thurs day. Don't you and a few of your friends want to have an informal talk with him on Thursday or Friday even ing? Phone me upon receipt of this Murray Hill 9l90, and oblige

 Mir. Weissmam is a lawyer at Al Court street, Brooklyn.
 Mir Wilcox went on: The date. September 1lth, is significant because five days later, on September l6th. oc- cured the famous party at Terrace Garden when Senator Stone sat up so late making abject pleas to leading citizens of German birth or extraction to support the Wilson cause. He di- rected his pleas to them not as Ameri- can citizens but as Germans in the United States. Mir.

 4 committee of prominent republi- cans and progressives met him at the Santa Fe station on his arrival Twenty one bombs were fired a band played and a crowd of citizens. among them several former Rough Riders cheered

A dol lar luncheon" was given in Mir. Roose- velts honor at l2:30 o'clock. The Roosevelt party left here at 2:40 o'clock for Las Vegas.
 In his speech Mir. Roosevelt de- nounced Secretary of War Baker for the latter's reported comparison of Washingtons soldiers with Mexican revolutionists and criticized the presi . dent for putting Baker in the cabinet in the first place, and for keeping him there after the reported comparison.
 This statement of Mir Bakers, acquiesced in by the silence of MT. Wilson, said Mir. Roosevelt. shows that Mir. Wilson, in his heart believes that Washington was no better than Villa or Carranza that the men of the revolution stood on a level with the miscreant crew who during the last three and half years in Mexico, have murdered Americans by the hundreds and Mexicans by the tens of thousands These man have perpetrated every species of outrage upon women and children. and have turne all Mexico into hell of starvation disease and misery; they have done this with the active oT' passive assistance of the American government under he lead of MT. Wilson; and NJ. Wii,on's cab- met officer now defe s them lesHhe foulest islander on the men whf Nadt us nation" A MT. Roosevelt said that the ah &AC professed such doctrines was iS unfit to stay in the cabinet anu thC president who retained him was wholly unfit to remain president o the United States.
