HUGHES DECLINES
TOPRESENT HOOVER
Will Not Preside at New York
Address of G. O. P.
Nominee.

Because he does not wish to usurp
any of Herbert Hoover's spotlight,
Charles Evans Hughes does not want
to introduce Hoover on the occasion of
his New York address a week from
Monday. 1t appears his wishes will be
respected.
Uncertainty over the appearance of
Hughes on the platform of Madison
Square Garden on the night of october
% was dispelled, it is reported, follow
ing a conference which Hoover had
early this afternoon with two New York
Republican leaders, Charles D. Hilles,
national committeeman, and H. Ed
mund Machold, State chairman.
1t is said that Hughes was reluctant
to share in the publicity and acclaim
at the Garden mass meeting on the
ground that the attention of the big
audience should center wholly on the
Republican nominee.
A similar attitude was held by some
other campaign leaders, who feared
that two ''headliners on the same bill
might hurt the show" Hilles and
Machold are understood to have diff
fered strongly from this view and to
have made urgent representations to
Hughes to reconsider.
The Hughes incident is said to have
been discussed at the conference between
Hoover and the New Yorkers this aft
further efforts would be made to secure
the appearance of Hughes at the meet
ing.
Hoover Keeps Hands OF.
Machold said after the conference
that no decision had been reached on
the question of who will preside at the
meeting. but that many details of the
program will be settled shortly"
Machold told Hoover that the up
State situation in New York appears
very favorable. He said he and Hilles
asked Hoover if he had any suggestions
TO make about the conduct of the cam
paign in the Empire State, but that
Hoover told them he was leaving the
entire situation in the hands of the
State organization
Machold predicted that there would
be 100000 votes cast in New York
this year-half a million more than in
1924. There is large increase in the
number of woman voters registered, he
said.
Machold expressed the opinion to
newspaper men that the nomination
by the Democrats of Franklin D. RooSe-
velt for governor did not aid Gov.
Smiths cause Attorney General Ottin-
ger, the Republican nominee, has a
large following among "the classes who
voted for Smith for governor" he
asserted.

YANKEES VICTORY
SETS NEW RECORD
New York Players, With Ruth
as Hero, Greatly Enjoying
''III HEALTH"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EN- ROUTE TO NEW YORK WITH
YANKEE SPECIAL, October 10.-En-
joying poor health to an extent never
approached by any other club, the New
York Yankees, speeding home today,
stood at the head of the base ball class
and more.
They were established as the first
team to win two world series in eight
games, disposing of the Cardinals of
1928 as they humbled the Pirates of
1927 in four straight games. 1t never
has been done before and many world
series are likely to come and go before
it is equaled
The Yanks limped home in the pen
napt race in their league and started
the big series without Pennock, their
Southpaw standby in other series tests,
or Combs brilliant outfielder. Pennock
was neuritiS victim and Combs came
out second best in a collision with a
wall in the Detroit park as the season
closed Tony LazZeri had bad shoul-
der, making his throwing a gamble.
Babe Ruth, the handspring of the out
flt, was afflicted with weak knee and
Lou Gehrig suffered a cut lip on the
last day of the season.
Babe Ruth Hero.
The supreme test again demonstrated
that there are base ball players and
then there Is Babe Ruth. This 225-
FOUNDER dominated the play and. like
the great Snowman he is. brought his
performance to climax as the curtain
went down.
Top-heavy with cripples, New York
was counted out of another world
championship before the series began,
for st. Louis was able to offer bat
tS'y of first-claSs pitchers.
The Yankees could counter with only
four pitchers regarded as suitable start
erS in such an important event and
there were question marks after all
their names Waite Hoyt, it was said,
was overworked George Pipgras was
in the same condition. Tom Zachary
was too old and Henry johnson, too
young. AS it turned out, only three
were needed.
The Cardinals were routed because
their pitchers could not prevent home
run hits. The winners smashed out
nine homers in the four games. Bill
Sherdel was nicked for four, Grover
Alexander allowed three and Jesse
Haines gave two.
Ruth's Biggest Day.
The fourth and last game, finally de-
cided by score of to g. as was the

Fries Comments

jor General Amos A. Fries,
chief of the chemical warfare serv-
ice of the American war depart
ment, said in Washington that none
Of the gas was to have been shipped
to the United States for use of the
American army. The war depart
ment. he said, had long ago found
that it could produce its own gas
more cheaply than it could import
it.
General Fries added. however,
that for some time Germany has
been shipping gases to America in
commercial form. Phosgenc is used
in dye manufacture after it has been
altered to eliminate its poisonous
qualities.
Disclosure that the deadly gas was
