LAFOLLET7E'SFIRST'
 SPEECH IN N. l..
Extent Of Tour Of Third Party
 Leader Undecided

Washington. Sept 2.--Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, Is still un- decided as to when he will launch his active campaign on an indepen- dent presidential candidate.
 It was said today he might re- main off the stump until a month before election day, although 1t is more probable that he will arrange his speech making itinerary so that he can be out stumpng for six weeks.
 The present plan is to have Sens- tor LaFonette deliver his first ad- dress in New York city--a sugges- ton that meets with his approval. To what extent he will tour the country remains to be determined.
 Until he begins campaigning, tho senator will remain in Washington, and probably will deliver several speeches by radio. Yesterday IS broadcasting stations were linked by telephone for his 55 minute La bor Day message, the first speech he ever delivered over the radio. He said he was pleased with the result, and intended so make fur ther use of opportunities to broad cast.

HULL SAYS CITY
 RUINED HIS TOWN
(continued from First Page)

seems to me that the real issue Is something like this, Is the town of Burlington 10 be self-governing unit of political independence or is it to be mere political tool of New Britain?
 'I cannot believe that this old New England town in which lived three generations of Hulls before 1 resided here. has descended to any such contemptible political level. Therefore I address this appeal to the intelligent consideration of our voters regardless of politics,

 COSTLY TO MEXICO
Sixty Million Dollars Spent in
 Quslhne ReVolutiOniSts
By The Associated Press.

Mexico City. Sept. 2. - Fifty-six thousand men, including 25,00O trail tors from the army, took part in the recent revolt headed by Adolfo de la Huerta and the cost of the Mexican government of suppressing the movement was approximately co., 00e,000 pesos. President Obregon declared in his final presidential message to congress last evening.
 Outlining accomplishments of his administration for the last four years, the president declared that peace had been consolidated throughout the country, the govern ment had fostered equitable distri- button of the national resources, the position Of the working classes had been visibly bettered through in- creased wages, more efficient union organization and wider education, and the liberty Of the press had been sustained.
 His full desires for the aggran- dizement of the nation had not been realized owing to the reactionary in- fuences eliminating in the De la Huerta rebellion. but the way was clearing and he urged congress to pursue the work of national recon struction.
 In Better Financial Position
 Despite the enormous cost of crushing the rebellion and what he reiterated was the mismanagement of the treasury under the secretary. ship of De la Huerta, Mexico was in a vastly improved financial position, The 1924 budget showed an appar- ent deficit Of 7,5O0,o00 pesos but this included a large amount of eX- traordinary expenses incurred in

KEEP YOUR PANTS ON"
PHILOSOPHER PLEADS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2e.-"Keep
your pants on"
DIR. Charles Gray Shaw, profess
sor of philosophy at New York
University, today issued this warn
ing to the American man.
IF you don't" he added,
democracy will perish"
The American man, according
to Doctor Shaw, should be as
proud Of his pants as he is Of
his flag, He explained:
THE present fad for short
breeches is one of the things which
stand in the way of the great ex-
cursion into equality. Knockers
and democracy do not so together.
1t is only the effete golfist who
likes to appear like Boy Scout.
OF course, women voters might
approve of a candidate in knee
breeches."

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 26.--Her

superdreadnaught Washington lies
under fifty fathoms Of water off
the Virginia Capes today, and

in navy circles here.
Details Kept Secret.
Details Of the sinking will have
to come from the Navy Department
at Washington" was the terse an
nouncement to all inquiries at the
Hampton Roads naval operating
base.
The battIeship Texas steamed up
to the Norfolk navy yard shortly
before noon today
1t is believed that the Washing.
ton went down sooner than was ex-
pected by ordnance experts aboard
the Texas. Photographic planes
that were were preparing to leave
the naval air station to obtain pic
lures Of the dreadnaughts sinking
had their orders countermanded on
short notice, it is said.
1t Is known, too, that, very few
shells were fired into the Wash.
ington on the final day before it
sunk. Persons ashore said they
heard only one or two distinct
boOms Of guhfire, whereas last
week, despite statements to the con.
trary, dozens of explosions from
the drill grounds were heard
Badly Battered.
Whether these were hits" or
misses" fired at the great hull by
the Texas or bombs from planes
that exploded in the air could not
be learned. In view of this, it is
held that the Washington was 10
badly battered from various attacks

she sank at the first fusillade from
