CAUSING GOVERNOR
 WORRY

NEW YORK, Sept. 27. - Governor Whitman came here from Albany yes terday and held a conference with the city members of the legislature rela. tive to the strike of the street car employees, and the sympathetic strikes accompanying The represen. tatives requested the governor to call a special session of the legislature to deal with the situation, which is rapid ly growing more critical. Transports tion is almost wholly tied up on the surface lines. but some of the elevated trains are running on an irregular schedule. Little violence is reported. except in isolated cases. and then mostly caused by boys and hoodlums. The men are doing their best to pre- serve order. The companies report that the elevated trains are being bombarded with missiles thrown from the roofs of the adjoining buildings. but the police have been unable to make any arrests so far

TOLEDO, Sept 27. - Hughes, the Republican candidate for president, received an uncomfortable reception at one of the automobile factories in this city today while speaking to the assembled workmen on the issues of the campaign. His criticisms of Pre- sident Wilson were hissed, and throughout his talk he was constant ly interrupted with questions, and heckled by his listeners. At times the Wilson cheers drowned the re- marks Of the speaker who took the demonstration in an unruffled manner. Part Of the questions shouted at MT. Hughes were regarding the strike of the Danbury hatters, and his decision in the supreme court against the un- ion workers in that case. Hughes did not answer these questions, and when asked by the newspaper men after the meeting why he did not do SO he declared that he did not hear any questions about the Danbury matters case. Toward the end of the speech the Wilson cheers became so loud and prolonged that the closing re- marks Of the candidate were lost in storm Of applause for Wilson and uncomplimentary references to Hughes.

the work must be done can be accom- plished and in order, but if they will not learn from the bitter experience of our kin across the sea, the refor- nation will be worked out amid the ruin of war"
 So far as the bankers are concerned the most important subject of the day Is the operation of the federal re- serve act, said President Lynch. Criti. Ctsm of the reserve banks had come from different sources; from the banks of the financial centers, which objected to the absorption by the re serve banks of the supply of bank acceptances; from the small banks in the more remote districts, with com. plaint that the requirements for the eligible paper are too strict, and from the member banks generally protest Ing against an enforced investment which carried no immediate prospects Of dividends and on reserve deposits on which no interest is paid To all these Objectors he pointed out that conditions for two years past have been abnormal and furnished no evi- dence of what the reserve system could do, but that much had already been accomplished Bank acCeptances for the first time have been made possible as credit instruments in con of merchandise. the dollar credit is making its way in South America and in the Orient, and national banks are opening branches in foreign countries.
 The federal reserve act" he said, has made the financial organization Of this country possible, and the pre- Iiminary steps to that end have al ready been taken. This. to my mind, is the great reason why the bankers should work with the act and not against it; should try to make 1t sue ceed instead of pointing out defects which might cause 1t to fail, for in doing so, they will have not only have strengthened the banking system but will have also have strengthened the nation"
 With respect to the federal farm loan act, MT Lynch declared that while the end sought was sociological, an endeavor to stem the drift Of pop, ulation to the cities. lower the rates of interest and greater facilities for getting into debt would of themselves serve to accomplish this result. The men who have the most intimate ex- perience with farm conditions gen. orally believe that borrowing Is al ready too easw for the farmer" he said.
 Touching on the European war. the great flotations of foreign loans here and the enormous inflow of gold, MT. Lynch said:
 We may expect that as soon as the war is over and the normal imports of merchandise are resumed the eI, cess of gold will leave us, and this will be by no means an evil The surplusage Of gold and the loaning power set free by the federal reserve act together are likely to cause a credit expansion which will need care ful supervision by our bankers, to the end that the corresponding contrac ton does not find us unprepared. The control Of both the export and import Of gold should be guided by the fed eral reserve board. which was intend ed to perform this function, and which has the power necessary to stslibiEs exchange through this means"
