REPUBLICANS FEAR
WILSON AUTOCRACY
New York State League of
Clubs Protests Against Dem
Ocratic Congress.

The League OF Republican Clubs of the
State of New York issued a statement at
the Republican Club last night inviting
the "considerate judgment Of all pa
triotlc Americans OF whatever party, who
cherish the principles OF representative
government founded by our fathers" on
the action of President Wilson in calling
for the election OF n Democratic Con-
gress.
After having declared politics adj
1ourned" the statement charges the Pres
ident has used the power and influence
OF his great office to put partisanship
above patriotism in an unfair demand to
exclude Republicans from all share in
the Government, with avowed purpose
OF bringing all the powers of government
into subsection to his will. so as to
make him practically autocrat OF the
United States at the very time the chief
aim of the war Is to destroy the autoc-
racy Of Europe.
"Under the pretext EFFICIENCY Of war,
with this amazing and menacng pur-
pose" continues the statement, 'he pro-
claims the Republican party 'anti-Ad-
ministration,' though admitting that II
is pro-war' II Is obvious that the
exigency Of war-wh.ch could he the
only pretext for SO arrogant claim
Is not the real basis of his action as
no charge could be made OF lack OF sup
port for the prosecution of the war and
as It Is expressly admitted that the
Republicans have been pro-war."
The Republicans of the country right
fully feel "ungratefully and treacher-
ously treated" the statement says" after
having given a million of their sons and
NJ thair dollars and DlaCinR all
their resources unboundedly at the SER
vice Of the country"
1t Is pointed out that Mr.. Wilson was
elected against the vote OF practically
half Of the country upon the platform
largely, that ''he kept us out of war.
And he chose his coadjutors upon this
basis, with a group OF Southern section
alists and pacIhsts Of his party In com
mand Of Congress" the statement goes
on. "It is not Wilson'S war. 1t Is the
nation's war. And 1t must be the eter'
nal verdict OF history that If there had
been a leader when war became tbs
stern duty of this nation with inspiration
and preparedness the lives OF millions
and measureless woe and waste might
have been spared"
Objection Is made TO permitting peace
adjustments to be left wholly to one
man" They will. II is declared. call for
the Intelligence OF the entire country"
The presidents "vacillation and lack
OF preparedness before the United States
entered the war is criticised and his
fourteen articles are characterized a.
being vague and obscure" There
turks the well grounded suspicion the
statement says, that he is against the
party OF unconditional surrender because
he harbors some purpose short or that

ceeds Transport Facilities.

WASHINGroS, Oct. 29.-Produc:ion OF
American aircraft now has reached Il
state where it Is being limited practi-
cally only by facilities for transporting
the airplanes to France. Tho production
OF Liberty motors during October
reached a stage OF 1000 a week. a goal
which had not been hoped for at soonest
until December
The latest official compilations show
that since June l approximately $500
fightiug airplanes OF all descriptions
have been shipped TO the American
forces In France. None OF the belliG-
eronts AZ any one time since the begin
ming OF the war has had more than $500
alrplanes actually in service. These
$500 planes included nearly $50 heavy
bombers. The remainder were planes OF
all classes including observation ma
chimes and day bombers.
Reports from all the production CEN
tres show the output is growing rapidly.
The American forces have been moving
so fast in the last few weeks that il
has been found necessary to give up
some OF the transportation space which
was intended for airplanes to other ma
terial but within tho next few weeks the
full movement Of aircraft Is expected TO
be in swing again.
To-night's reports showed there were
more American a!rplanes awaiting ship
ment al points OF embarkation than
could be loaded.
In speaking of fighting airplanes the
single seated plane in which are fought
the spectacular duels of the air is not
included These types are changing so
rapidly that officials say II never will
be practical to build them elsewhere
than almost upon the battlefield. All
the American built planes. however. are

POLITICIANS ARE UNEASY
Special pespatch 10 The srN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Hughes
aircraft report was delivered to Attorney
General Gregory last Saturday. The
White House has promised TO make pub
lie this report ten minutes after 1t
reaches the President. But tonight the
report was still IN Mr.. Gregory's possess
sion. with no definite information forth
coming as TO when Mr.. Gregory intends
10 release It.
The reason why the Attorney-General
Is holding UP this report Is because he
Is writing an opinion of his own on the
facts adduced by Mr.. Hughes. In other
words Mr.. Gregory intends, so It was
learned to-day, that the Hughes report.
which contains the distinguished jurist's
conclusions and recommendations based
IN the facts. shall be accompanied by
his own view OF the facts. which may or
may not coincide with those OF Mr..
Hughes
The news that Mr.. Gregory was 20

illusions. which would be made public
simultaneously with the Hughes findings.
excited widespread interest to-day in
view of the political situation. 1t I'M
medately led to rumors that the Attor-
ney- General would dissent from some of
Mr.. Hughes's findings. some Of which
were reported to be sensational.

tending the Hughes hearings. making the
investigation a joint affair. He tray
eued to Dayton, Buffalo and Chicago to
attend hearings, and sat In on the taking
OF nearly all the testimony.
The Hughes report has been guarded
as closely as a Supreme Court decision.
, the Attorney General keeping II in his
own custody since its delivery by Mr..
Hughes Saturday night.
All that Mr.. Gregory would say to-
day was that the report would be sub
mitted to the President just as soon
as he could review It. The task, he
said, was not a light one. as the Hughes
| report covers thousands of typewriter
pages.
According to Mr.. Gregory the Presi-
dent has not yet seen the report. 1t
was not brought to the Cabinet meeting
to-day. though that had been the re-
ported intention. Tho Attorney-Gen-
eral. il Is believed, presented for the
benefit of the President and his Cabi-
net n statement as to the general ma
ture Of the findings.
The Hughes report was n subject OF
engrossing speculation to-day i'll both
political camps With nothing very
definite forthcoming as to its nature
the politicians were kept in a state OF
suspense, not knowing what Importance
to attach to it as political factor.
In view Of the interesting situation
| that has arisen no doubt Is entertained
| that 1t will be given out before election
day. II would not surprise any one II
| il came tomorrow afternoon.
Copies OF the report have already
been printed ready for distribution To
the newspapers. All that is holding 1t
| up Is the Gregory report.

ITALIANS ADVANCE
BEYOND THE PIAVE

six days and has been marked by the
desperate resistance OF the Austrians
They have directed their artillery fire
against pontoon bridges thrown across
the Piave. and their bombing airpianes
also have caused trouble for the Allies.
Austrian prisoners declare that they
know nothing Of the political situation at
home and the efforts of their Government
to arrange an armistics. The Austrian
army postof,lce is said to have stopped
the delivery OF mall some time ago.
Troops Throng Roads.
All the roads leading 20 the mountains
or the Piave are crowded with heavy
masses of troops, guns and other war
material The present battle OF the
Piave began officially on October 10, but
heavy fighting did not develop until Oc-
tober "a. the anniversary Of Caporetto
and the beginning of the retreat to the
Piave.
Thanks to the fair weather OF the last
two days the Piave River has been left
several miles behind in the region south
east Of Montello. Movements across the
river in force are increasing steadily and
in the best order. despite the constant
shelling from the Austrian artillery
