ny JohN u. HENh1.
President Roosevelt took a recess
from his third-term campaigning
today, first to confer with State De-
partment advisers on the grave Bal
kan war crisis and second to launch
the Nation on its history making
peace-time CONSUMPTION program.
AS serious as both these matters
are, however, they provide merely
an interlude to a bitter and vigor-
ously-fought final week of the 1910
presidential campaign. Tonight Mr.
Observation-Disclosures affairs per-
m1tting-will leave Washington for
closing swing into New England
with major address scheduled for
tomorrow night in Boston. At least
two States, Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, worth rs electoral votes
will see and hear the Democratic
candidate in this 24-hour journey.
For Is crowded hours yesterday
Mr.. Roosevelt fought hard for the
SO votes of New Jersey and New
York-opening with a riotous rids
through Newark and closing with
another deity delivered and care
fully-drafted speech in Madison
Square Garden last night.
In the interim, the presidential
nominee made six other speeches
and waved from his open automobile
to crowds that numbered we'll into
the hundreds of thousands. In
Newark, where they were riotous to
the point of breaking up the presi-
dental caravan and nearly wrecking
the first newspaper car in line, the
enthusiasts were mostly children
not voters. But older persons were
in the throng as the day wore on
and the thousands who broke police
lines on Seventh avenue. New York,
and who later packed Madison
Square Garden we're the kind who
will be casting ballots next Tuesday.
Perhaps not an Insignificant in
f1uence on many of these, particu-
larry those who will help to swing
New York's At votes, was the ap-
pearance of James A. Farley, former
national chairman and Postmaster
General, and now New York State
Chairman, in the Presidents eve
ming party.
Coming to the Chief Executives
special train soon after completion
of the day-long automobile tour,
Mr. Farley rode to Madison Square
Garden with Mr.. Roosevelt and ap-
peared on the platform beside him.
Shakes Hands With Flynn.
Although he did not speak, the
New York leader smiled and ap-
plauded several times during the
speech and he was greeted with a
great cheer when he shook hands
on the platform with Edward j.
Flynn, his successor in the national
Craftsmanship.
May Cancel Trip.
Although the foreign situation
might still cause a l2st-minute can
collation. Of the entire trip, an itin-
erary for the New England visit
was announced at the White House
this morning.
Due to arrive at New Haven
shortly after $50 am. tomorrow
the President will make a plat
form appearance there and then
ride his special train through Wal
lingford, Meriden, and New Britain
Junction to Hartford. At Hartford
he will leave his train to inspect the
Pratt & Whitney airplane plant
and proceed by automobile to
Mass.
After visiting the Government ar
senal at Springfield he will return
to his train and reach Boston late
in the afternoon. A back platform
appearance is planned at Worcester
before 3 o'clock.
The President will have dinner to-
night at the home of his
son John at Nahant, Mass. The
speech will be delivered at the Aus
tin Garden at 1915 pm.
In his six speeches yesterday,
MI. Roosevelt touched on a variety
of subjects-always flavoring his
announcements with something
calculated to solicit support for the
national Democratic ticket.
In the evening, he concentrated
entirely on the issues of foreign re-
lations and the building of Americas
defenSes.
To make his case, again described
as refutation of the "falsifcations"
of "the opposition" the President
drew heavily upon the record of
statements and votes in Congress of
the very Republican leaders who
have spoken most loudly in criticism
of the foreign policy and defense
program of the administration.
Hits Defense Critics.
ct now brand as false" he told
the Garden audiences, "the state
ment being made by Republican
campaign orators, day after day
and night after night, that the re-
of America was slow, that
it is hamstrung and impeded, that
1t will never be able to meet threats
from abroad. Those are the whis-
perings of appeasers.
Drawing careful distinction be-
tween 1.-The responsible leadership of
the Republican party" and the mil
lions of patriotic Republicans" the
latter being described as sympathetic
and cooperative in the defense pro-
gram, the President took occasion
early in his address to pay tribute to
the services of such members of the
Defense Commission as William S.
Knudesen, Edward Stettinius, Averill
Hartman and Ralph Budd.
"All of these men-all of American
industry and American labor-are
