ADDRESSED BY MAYOR
NKW YOIUC. Oct 10,
Returning from llerlln aboard tho liner
Frederick VIII, Ambassador James W
Gerard today refused to ansWer any ques
tion relating to tho purpose of his visit to
America at this tlmo. saying that even
the simplest question "mlKht Involve" him.
"Is It true that you arc bringing a peaces
message from the Kaiser to President Wil
son T" ho was asked.
"I cannot answer that question," replied
Gerard. "To reply to any question of that
nature might Involve me."
GAVE NO INTEItVinW
The Ambassador's attention was called
to an article wirelessed from tho Frederick
VIU to a New York paper, declaring posi
tively that he brought no peace messjgo.
but came to warn President Wilson that
Germany wns prcpar ng to resumo Indis
criminate submarine warfare. He was asked
If this was a correct statement.
t cannot answer that," ho' replied. 'To
answer even the simplest question might
Involve mo. I have given no Interviow since
I left Berlin. You will note that in this
article I Am not quoted."
"It has been reported that you will not
go baci to aermany," one reporter told
him.
"I am not sure when I will go back, but
I certainly shall go back," was his reply.
The .Ambassador was asked when he ex
Jcts to er President Wilson. Ho replied
that that was "up to the President."
Gerard said that he first learned of the
submarine ;actlvltles on this side of tho
Atlantic Hunday night Tho Frederick
VIII'3 wireless was constantly picking up
messages throughout the night, he said,
Several times the liner passed through
Sorting oil, hut he did not believe the
changed her course.
A delegation of New York city officials
headed by Collector of the Port Dudley
Field Malono went down the bay In a police
patrol boat to meet tho Ambassador.
A-revenue cutter loaded with newspaper
men swung alongside the Frederick VIII as
the patrolboat reached tho other side.
Gerard's friends swarmed aboard the
line? nnd escorted the Ambassador and
Mrs. Gerard to tho saloon at the patrol
boat. There the Ambassador for fifteen
minutes smilingly parried questions frpm
MtMprlewers fired at him In volleys.
"Sit down, Jimmy, and rest yourself,"
jrioaaed Mrs. Uerard whllo he was facing
ibs report e-s.
x "No, these boj-B camo a long way to ses
KM." was tho Ambassador')! smiling retort.
When the patrolboat docked, thirty auto,
i mobiles, drawn up at the landing, by a pre
arranged signal let looso long blasts from
ttwir horns. The din continued as the
party sped up U.oadway to the City Hall,
Wbre Acting Mayor Dowllng formally wel
oroed Ambassador Gerard and extended to
MM the keys bf the city.
18 arrra warm triqutiss
Th Ambassador to Germany was visibly
affected by the tributes paid him. Ho re
Idled but briefly, tears flooding his eyes as
jm finished, He said
'Mr, Straus, Mr, Acting Mayor and gen
tlemen "On behalf of both Mrs. Gerard, who has
so nobly stood by mo during the lost two
ysftrs in Oermany, nnd myself. I want to
tttwk you for this reception. There Is no

"I feel very highly complimented that you

who In the same great post made
splendid reputations Mr. Htruus and Mr.
Morgenthau and pay us the compliment of
coming down to tho boat I am very glad,
Mr, Straus, to hear you speak words of

Charles Kvans Hughes, Republican candi
date for the presidency, left Philadelphia,
today "ery agreeably pleased with his re-'
ceptlon."
lloforo departing for Broad Street Station
to resume his speech-making Itinerary, the
nominee yielded to tha importunities of
State Republican leaders and consented to
mako two morn speeches today In Pennsyl
vania, at Harrlsburg and Chambcrsburg.
Mr. Hughes, fatigued after his tre
mendous reception and stirring speech nt
tho Metropolitan Opera Houso mass-meeting
last night, breakfasted alone in the
Illua Itoom at the Ilollevue-Stratford. Mrs.
jlughos left her husband to take tha 8:20
o'clock t-uln for Washington. Intending to
spend the day In that city and to rejoin
Mr. Hughes this evening in Baltimore,
whuro ho Is to speak In tha Fifth Regiment
Armory, Mrs. Hughes breakfasted on the
train.
A delegation of Harrlsburg leaders.
headed by Spencer C. Gilbert, a merchant
of that city, arrived n Philadelphia shortly
after M.s. Hughes's departure. They went
to the hotel and held an interview with the
candidate.
Other prominent men of his party also
called upon Mr! Hughes nnd at tho close
of the conference it vaa announced that the
day's schedule had been changed so that
after leaving Broad Street Station at 10:25
o'clock Mr. Hughes would be escorted to
Harrlsburg by the delegates from that city
and would mako a speech at tho State
capital. A stop, permitting a brief address,
would also bo made at Chambersburg be
fore tho resumption of the prearranged
schedule at Hagorsjown, Md.
Mr. Hughes's callers at the hotel Included
John Grlbbel, president of tho Union League,
who presided at tho meeting last night;
George 11. Hans nnd Mlcrs Busch, vice
presidents, and John W. Hamcr, secretary
of tha same organization.
To them the candidate expressed himself
as very agreeably pleased with the recep
tion In Philadelphia nnd was cnthuslaBtla
In his praise of the Opera House, which he
pronounced tho most beautiful building In
which ha had spoken In tha course of his
campaign.
Tha Hughes special train left the train
shed at 10 30 o'clock. Two American flags
were placed on the rear end of the National,
tho candidate's car, replacing a pair of
travel-worn emblems, thb fourth set of
flags destroyed during tho 20,000-mlle trip.
Mr. Hughes shook hands with tha Phila
delphia reception committee and spoke to
the trainmen as he passed through tho en
trance gate.
He walked briskly and appeared Invigor
ated after the night's rest. Ho and Mrs.
Hughes occupied the "presidential suite"
on tha second floor o,f the hotel, facing
Broad and Walnut streets. 'There was no
trace of husklness In the candidate's voice
as he greeted those about him. Dr. I D,
Alexander, Jr., a throat specialist, Is ac
companying Mr. Hughes on the tour, but
has not been called upon for any seiloua
trouble. '
Mi Hughes's first request upon uniting
hln.slt at tho brenkfast table was far the
n.jrnlng jii.pers. and ho glin.-id over tntm
hlle awaiting the orange, shredded wheat,
three tggs on toast and coffee that com-pr-lsed
the meal. After boarding the train
Mr tlughcs resumed his reading of the
nevspapeia He declined to discuss any
of the subverts covered In the Important dis
patches or even to comment upon his own
campaign other thnn to express his thor
ough enjoyment of the visit nnd his appre
ciation of the turnout at the opera house
and the orrwds that welcomed him aa he
and his escort passed along Broad street
to the place or meeting.
For ono hour and twenty minutes last
night the former Justice of the Supreme
rvtiirt iwla from the llae-rtrnned stage, and
his auditors hung upon his words as If
each assertion carried with It the effect of
a judicial decision nnd was being written
Into the law of the land. A single Inter
ruption momentarily marred the delivery,
but Mr Hughes utilised the attempt to
heckle him as an additional opportunity
to explain his position on the question of
capital and labor and to reaffirm his deter
mination to decide all questions and to en
force all laws with absolute fairness and
impartiality.

The Third Regiment was Welcomed home
today with a reception which In patriotism
and enthusiasm, rivoled that given yester
day to the boys of the First
More than 500 iersons massed about
the Broad street and Washington avenue
station of the Pennsylvania Railroad gave
the soldier boys a tremendous ovation whin
they detrained, and all the way up Broad
street to Convention Halt thousands cheered
as the lads In khaki pnssed by
The Third is called the "bnhy regiment"
of the Pennsylvania National Guard, be
cause there are more youngsters In It than
In any other of tha Guard.
NOW SEASONr.D TROOPS
When the regiment marched away to the
border many of the members had the np
nrarnnrn of callow, awkward boys. But
there was no evldenco of awkwardness In
this detachment of well-seosoned nnd finely
trained troops that alighted today at the
Broad street and Washington avenue sta
tion They presented a shining example
of what four months of discipline on the
border could do for a lot of striplings.
Shoulders wcro thrown back, heads were
held erect, nnd there was absence of any
dtsagreenblo characteristic of the nwkvard
ago In young men.
From n honllh standpoint the Third Regi
ment carried off all of the honors on the
border. Not n stnglo case of contnglous
disease was reported In the Third during
Its entire stay on the border, and tho regi
ment looked as though It had broken rec
ords In hygiene. Hery "man Jack" of the
regiment had a clear, steady eye. a health
ful bronze and n, firm regular step.
When the soldlor boys alighted from their
trains they were besieged by detachments
and relnys of mothers, v. Ives, sisters and
snrethenrts. Thoy were kissed and hugged
by relays, nnd it was socrnl minutes before
tho pnrado started becauso of the epidemic
of nffectlonato greetings.
PROUD OF RECORD
Brigadier General Price and stuff nnd
Colonel George 11 Kemp came In with the
second section. General Prlco was en
thusiastic concerning tho record of tho
Pennsylvania troops on the border.
"They curried off all honors," he said,
soon after hln arrlal
The soldiers marched from the station
to tho Third Regiment Armory, Broad and
Wharton streets, and after about half nn
hour delay continued tho march up Broad
street to Convention Hall. The parade
was led by Brigadier General Prlco and
staff and by Colonel Georgo U. Kemp.
Tho Third Regiment was scheduled to
nrrlve at Broad street and Washington nve
nuo at 9:30 this morning, but there wns a
delay because tho ofllccrs of the first section
wished to communicate with the olllcers of
the second section. At the request of tha
former olllcers the first section wns halted
at Paoll and remained there until tho sec
und section cnught up with it The troops
arrUcd nt tho Broad street and Washington
avenue station at 12:10 o'clock.
The boys were escorted up Broad street
to Convention Hall by the Grand Army,

bassador Gerard, who nrrled nt New York
this morning, bears no message from Kaiser
Wllhelm to President Wilson suggesting
American Intercession on behalf of peace.
This can he stated positively.
There Is no doubt, of course, that the
President will want to know all develop
ments before regarding the possibilities of
peace in tho near future and regarding any
Preparations which may be under way In
Oermany to resume U-boat practices ob
jectionable to the Ignited States. No date
has been set for Gerard to see tho Presi
dent here.
Secretary Lansing comes to Shadow
Lawn Into today to confer with tho Pres

German submarine V-iZ along the American
coast Sundny his visit hat aroused great In
terest The Secretary comes in tho woko
of many telegrams received by the Pres
ident today urging sharp action against any
possible blockude of American ports by
German submarines, and this feature of
the U-boat development will probably bo
seriously considered at the conference be
tween I.anslng and the President tonight
Officials here were unable to state whether
there would be a communication sent to
Germany relative, to the Incident.

Raced Liner to Beat Gerard to tho
United States
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. The letter which
Captain Lieutenant Hans Rose, of the U-53,
sent to the German Ambassador from Nan
tucket last Saturday contained brief notes
from the Oerman Foreign Office outlining
Germany's present attitude on the subma
rine Issue. This was learned here today
from a trustworthy source In Immediate
touch with the Central Powers' embassies.
The U-53 was sent speeding across the
Atlantic In a semlrace with the Frederick
VIII for the purpose of Imparting to the
German Ambassador before Mr Gerard's
arrival here Just where the German Gov
ernment stands on the submarine Issue now
In substance the message Intrusted to the
Urboat commander contains exactly what
the Oerman Foreign Office asked Ambas
sador Gerard to report to President "Wilson,
It Is a resume of the declaration given to
Ambassador Gerard shortly before he left
Berlin by the German Chancellor, .the For
eign Minister and the Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs.
Direct cable connection with Cnt von
BernstorR being Impossible, the expedient
of the Urboat was chosen. It was Impera
tive for the Oerman Ambassador to know
accurately the Amerloa.H diplomat' mission
In ordsr to be able to carry Govern

Mayor Smith will read to Councils, In
special session this afternoon, his message
on transit The naturo and the purpose of
tho message, which has caused speculation
since tho Mayor nrst Issued the call for
the special councllmanlo session, will not
be disclosed until Councils convene this nft
crnoon. It Is unusual for tho Mayor himself to
read his messages. It has not been done
since his Inauguration, Tho clerk always
roads them. But tho Mnyor has announced
that ho would answer whatoor questions
may bo put to him when ho finishes rending
and he will hnvo the questions more thor
oughly In his mind by reading the mesiage
himself. He said that this would bo the
procedure unless he was detained at tho
armory where he went to welcome the na
tional guardsmen.
Although the Mayor has repeatedly re
fused to give the slightest intimation as to
what Is the naturo of his message, it is
generally understood that It deals ex
clusively with the operation of tho clty
bullt high-speed system. Tho question of
employing W. Barclay Parsons, of New
York city, or any other expert, will probably
be determined by tha Mayor without any
councltmanlc authorization.
Mayor Smith admitted last night that ha
had received Mr. ParsonB's formal com
munication setting forth the conditions un
der which he would reno tho city. Tho
letter from the engineer wns received on
Saturday, but tho Mayor declined to do
more than admit that tho terms simply
confirmed those which Mr. Parsons had
erbally submitted at the conference last
week In the Mayor's olllce.
Asldo from this, the Mayor refused to
discuss the transit situation In nny of Its
phases, nnd there Is much speculation as
to what will develop at the meeting of
Councils, was Intimated that the special
session of tno legislative bodies would, how
ever, mark the beginning of an nctUe cam
paign to formulate nn acceptable agree
ment or plan under which tho now high
speed lines can be operated.
