Shriners throughout the city today say
there Is every Indication that Charles E.
Hughes, the Republican candidate, will be
the next President of the United States.
Their conclusion Is based upon tho ova
tion tendered "Mr. Hughes" last night when
he addressed more than 4000 members of
their organization at the Metropolitan
Opera House.
The audience burst Into an uproar when
Receler of Taxes iW. Wetland Kcndrlck
walked out quietly and'announced that "the
Republican prcsldental candidate" would
say a few words.
And then "Mr. Hughes" appeared. He
looked dignified and conservative. He
bowed majestically right and left to Mayor
Smith, Senator Vare, Treasurer McCoach
ind other officials In the boxes.
The "candidate's" lips were moving and
his eyebrows were elevating, while his arms
flashed through the air and his fists
thumped the table in the' center of the stage
viciously.
But what he, was saying no one could
tell, for cheers, cheers and more cheers
rent the air. Enthusiasm was so great that
no one could check it. Applause and the
stamping of feet mingled with shouts of
"we want Hughes," "on to Washington,"
"you're elected now,"
The bedlam didn't appear to bother
"Mr. 'Hughes" In the least. He had a
speech Jo make and he Intended to finish
It Between the bunches of bedlam this
much was heard; " and the high cost
of living the Panama Canal brother
ly love a square deal shoulder to
shoulder next November obliterate
Mexico present administration vic
tory sure "
But when the "candidate" had finished
there waS a buzs through the opera house.
Many were perplexed. Others felt com pi I,
cated.
This afternoon Mr. Kendrlck admitted
that the speaker was oo much like Mr.
Hughes that he couln't help bringing him
on from Chicago to address the meeting.
Of course he's a brother Shrlner and his
name U Dr. W, E. Buhler,

New Orders for Troops to B
Mustered Out in Body at
Gretna Make Huge Cele
bration Possible
COMMITTEE IS NAMED
Mnyor Smith said enthusiastically
today when he heard that the returning
troops would be mustered out In a body
at Mount Gretna:
"If It can be arranged. I am in favor
of a home-coming celebration for the
entire National Guard which will make
the whole, nation tingle with reawakened
patriotism.
"Here we have" a large body of finely
trained troops, and it would be a crcat
thine to have them mnrth through the
streets of Philadelphia. I will bring
this matter before, a meetinc of the
committee this afternoon."
Announcement today from the War De
partment at Washington that the return
ing troops from the border would proceed
directly to Mount Oretna, Instead of coming
to Philadelphia, and be mustered out In a
body, gae members of the special counfTl
manlo committee the hope that a home
coming reception of Htate-wlde significance
could be held In Philadelphia. Such a oels
bratlon would mean that the entire Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania would com
to Philadelphia and participate In a grand
jubilee.
Adjutant General C. C. McCain of tho
War Department made the announcement
that the troops would proceed to Mount
Oretna and be mustered out there.
"Orders have been Issued," ho said, "for
the First, Third and Tenth Pennsylvania
Regiments to go to tho State mobilisation
camp, and these orders stand unless Sec
retary of War Daker Issues orders to tho
contrary. The troops will be mustered ot
at Mount Oretna In a body.'1
The First Regiment was scheduled to w-
rive In this city Monday, and the special
Joint Councllrnanlo Committee on Military
Affairs had planned, to gle them a ropelag
reception, which Included a parade up Broad
stret with exercises in Convention Hail."
This reception will now tyive tp be post
poned and it is probable that the &tm
mlttee will get to work on plan far a,
celebration which will bet broadened to la
