4 WEASEL NOTE IS SAID TO EXIST Republicans Reported to Be in Possession of Convincing Data New York, Nov. 2. President Wilson's "denial" has merely fanned the flames in the controversy over the softening of the second Lusitania note to Germany. The flareback has had these developments: A copy of the mollifying note or "postscript," as it has some times been called, is said to be in existence. Pressure is being exerted to compel President Wil son to disclose all the facts as his "denial" is pronounced evasive. Republican leaders here are in possession of data, it is believed which will place the President in an embarrassing position if he falls to reveal air. Senator in another speech, declares that Wilson's dental is merely ln form and not in substance because the "soften ing" was embodied in the arbi tration proposal, which the Pres ident admits he considered but rejected. Former Secretary of War Gar rison declines absolutely to go to the assistance of the President. He remains silent. So does Sec retary Lansing. A review ol' the record in the Lusitania case shows that Bryan publicly announced after resign ing that the second note had been "very much softened" as the result of an "important change." llonib Is Held Hack Former Secretary of War Garrison has become the central figure ln the controversy which has arisen over the charge originally brought by Senator Lodge that the President had tem porarily approved of a separate note supplemental to the second Lusitania note designed to appease the feelings of Germany. Refusing to accept the denial issued by the President as meeting the real charge—that such a supplemental note had been indorsed by the Presi dent and was upon the point of trans mission when it -was stopped the Republican campaign managers yes- ! terday called upon the President to make public the whole transaction and intimated very strongly that Mr. Garrison was in possession of facts that would instantly clear up the matter, provided the President should insist upon standing upon his denial. What is more, it was made evident I last night that the Republicans are in possession of information them selves which, it is intimated, will make it impossible for the details re garding: what went on in Washington et the critical time to remain long in obscurity. Note May He Produced Mr. Wilson's denial, instead of dis posing of the matter, has merely made more insistent the demand that those, ln possession of the facts divulge them. That some one is in possession of the actual note alleged to have re ceived Mr. Wilson's approval was rumored in political circles vesterday. This note, it is believed, will be pro duced before the end of the campaign. ADAMSON BILL IS "GOLD BRICK" [Continued JYom First Page] Market Reflects Strong Sentiment For Hughes Growing confidence* in Wall street that Mr. Hughes would be elected next Tuesday resulted in a vigorous advance in prices yester day. United States Steel and all other active shares moved up from two to more than four points. From the Stock Exchange floor it was reported that no Wilson money was in sight, and that ten to six was being offered on Hughes. Traders were quick to take ad vantage of the decided swing in sentiment, and prices were bid up briskly, the close finding stocks at the day's best level. The action of the market was taken to mean that a Republican victory would insure still higher levels, while the re-election of Wilson would have the opposite effect. * • The nominee s special train passed through Buffalo this forenoon enroute to Batavia, a fifteen-hours' ride from Terre Haute, Ind., where lie finished his campaign in the Middle West last night.

It was the nominee's last day but one of campaigning and he was apparently in excellent trim. | To-morrow the program calls for j speeches along the valley of the Hud- > son .ending with his arrival at New i York. Before his departure from Tcrre Haute late last night Mr. Hughes is- [ sued the following statement: "I am informed that the general Chairman has advised the local chair- : men of the Brotherhood of Locomo- 1 tlve Firemen and Enginemen of the Pennsylvania lines, east, that the j Adamson act in establishing a new basis for reckoning wages will elimi nate the payment of all arbitraries which are based upon time when made within the lirst eight-hour period of service. "Tlio uncertainty of the law is recognised In various particulars. It is said, 'just what it will be decided to mean no ono can tell, as it is pos sible to construe it in several different way.' The general chairman also; adds: 'This law does not change the application of the "hours of service law." The company still has the right to work you sixteen hours within any 24 consecutive hours if they so desire.' "I note that the chief of one of the locals of the brotherhoods has ascer tained the effect of the law on those who complete their run in less than eight hours. He says that if a man makes a one-hundred-mile run in five hours Instead of getting his full day's pay he will get only tive-etghths of a day's pay when paid on the eight-hour basis. He also says that formerly the railroad men were entitled to pay for 25 miles whenever caled out, whether they afterwards reported or not, but the Adamson bill enacts a flat basis of eight hours for the purpose of pay ing compensation while on tho other hand It does not establish an eight hour work day. "I think it will be found that the Adamson bill Is a gold brick for labor." Mr. Hughes closed his campaign in the Middle West yesterday at an old fashioned political rally, the propor tions of which were accepted by hint as a prophecy of victory in Indiana and in the nation. For more than an hour he reviewed a parade and then spoke at the Wigwam, making his last personal appeal to this part of the country. The parade, in which it was esti mated 10,000 marched, wound its way through the streets, which were ablaze with redflre. There were one hun dred or more lluminated floats. Marching clubs came from miles around. There were fully 60,000 in the crowd which lined Main street and Mr. Htighes received much applause all along the line. Old-time residents classed the demonstration as among the biggest staged In this section of Indiana. In the Wigwam, said to seat nine thousand persons and which was packed to the doors, Mr. Hughes was tumultuously received. At the end of the demonstration he made this declaration: "I am leaving Indiana after what i is perhaps the most wonderful recep ! tion ever given to a candidate for tne 1 presidency. This splendid tribute was not to me personally, but as the rep resentative of the Brent reunited Re publican party moving forward to vic tory and service for the nation. The men of Indiana have organized a people's victory and I want to thank the leaders of the reunited party for their effective work." In his speech Mr. Hughes reviewed the stand he had taken on 'American rights, the tariff, the Adamson bill, efficient government and other cam paign issues. Opposed to AH Pork-Barrel Business Of his stand on the great Issues, Mr. Hughes made this statement: '"I am opposed to all pork-barrel business. I am opposed to all log rolling appropriations. I am inter ested In this campaign simply be cause I believe there is a great chance to serve the United States in pro viding a businesslike administration; and If they want that kind of thing, I am their servant for that purpose. There Is no reason why the business of the United States should not be as well administered as any great private business; and I propose, if elected, to call about me the ablest men that I can find to establish the business of this country on a basis which will make our civil service a place of honor and dignity and of benefit to all our people." Speaking of the necessity of a pro tective tariff to safeguard the indus tries of this country after the war when he said, foreign competition would be renewed by an efficient and trained Europe, Mr. Hughes said: "You have got to have business policies that protect the industries of the United States. How are we going to attain to these conditions? By sanely building up American enter prises, protecting American Industry In every way and making It possible for business to succeed. I propose that we have the principles of our institutions maintained, and then we can go forward and meet the competi tion of the twentieth century, being assured that those living in this favored land will have a fair and square opportunity." Perkins Reiterates Charge Democrats Evade Issues New York, Nov. 2. —Georffe W. Per kins has taken Issue with Democratic National Chairman Vance C. McCor mlck over the assertions of the Demo cratic managers that the much vaunted prosperity of the country Is not due solely to the European war. Mr. Perkins repeats his charge that the Democrats are conducting their campaign, particularly with regard to the tariff Issue, by deception and mis representation. Mast Defend U. S. Against Commercial Disaster, He Says Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.—America's most important and necessary program of preparedness Just now Is by msana of the November election," declared Representative William J. Browning, of New Jersey, in a statement given out here to-day. "We must defend our manufacturers, farmers and working men, against com mercial disaster, and the only way to accomplish this Is by electing Charles E. Hughes President of the United States, and the placing of Congress un der Republican denomination in both Senate and House of Representatives, thus - to insure protection to American industries. "Republicans do not agree with Pres ident Wilson that the industries of our country are now big enough to fight their battles without protection from the government, and it is to this fun damental difference between tho poli cies of the two parties to which the earnest thought of American voters should be directed, for the voters are to decide whether or not tho American worker is to compete with the foreign worker." ; Extravagant Claims of Democrats Losing Oat Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.—"One of tho favorite democratic Items of cam paigning is the 'band wagon' slogan. No statement Is too extravagant. Only two months ago the Democrats assured the country that Maine would go for Democracy. The country has not for gotten the result of the Maine elec tion," declared Representative Simeon I I D. Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the pub licity committee of tho national Re publican congressional committee. In a statement given out to-day. "In 1912, Democracjwcame into power on a minority vote of 1,300,000. Since then the result of every special election held has been the repudiation of the Democrats. Special congressional elec tions in New Jersey, Maine, New York and West Virginia resulted in over whelming Republican victories. These special elections Indicated the current of the American electorate. Another Item that will not be overlooked Is the lesson of the various primary contests in the States. In primaries held In In diana, Illinois, New Jersey, Idaho, Wisconsin, California and Ohio, the Republican vote In each election was vastly larger Vhan tho Democratic vote. "There Is no possibility of getting away from the meaning of the result In these elections. No amount of hot air contention, or fake straw votes will repudiate these figures. Hughes Money Swamps Bettors in Washington Washington, D. C-. Nov. 2. —Hughes money has nwampod the betting "mar ket" in Washington. IJftle Wilson money is In sight and Wilson backers j are asking odds even greater than tbose reported from New York. A wager of S6OO to SSOO, with Hughes tho favorite, was made In a downtown meeting place of aorU-< iinen. An offer of SI,OOO on Hughes, at odds of 10 to 9, was not covered. Two newspapermen, each explaining that he is merely an agent, insist that they have an aggregate of $26,000 to place on Hughes at odds of 10 to 9, and cannot find "coverers." Republicans and Bull '• Moose Firmly United Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.—"Republi cans and Progressives are united for the election of Charles K. Hughes," de clared Representative h. C. Dyer, of Missouri, former commander-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans, in a statement given out here to-day. "Many Independent voters and many Democrats will vote for Mr. Hughes. The people want a return to the pro tective tariff policy of the Republican party. The Democratic party has tried to confuse the Issues in this campaign, the greatest of which is the protective tariff. "They have tried to frighten the voters. In one section they have nought votes by criticising citizens of German descent. In another section they used the commonest subterfuges to get that vote. This Is only one of their schemes, Inventions and subter fuges to retain the spoils of office. That Is all the Democratic party has been and Is Interested In." National Treasury WiU Be Empty by Election Day at Present Rate of Expenditure Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.—A prac tically bankrupt Treasury and more direct taxes and mere bond issues to meet the running expenses of the gov ernment Is the present condition and future prospects of tho country, accord ing to a statement by the national Re publican congressional committee Issued In Washington. Since Congress adjourned, the state ment shows, expenditures have ex ceeded receipts by more than a $1,000,- 000 a day. At this rate the actual net balance in the general fund of less than $6,000,000 will shortly be wiped out, and on election day the Treasury will be empty and the country will be facing a daily deficit of over a million dollars. Over *300,000,000 At this rate, the statement continues, the deficit at the close of the present fiscal year will reach the enormous sum of over $300,000,000. This will not be met by the new revenue law, the high est estimate of revenue under which was $205,000,400, and in the opinion of experts the amount to be raised by the additional taxes Imposed by that law will fall way short of these figures. So that the administration besides carry ing out its avowed purposo to Issue $125,000,000 of Panama Canal bonds to supplement the additional taxes, will have to resort either to moro taxes or more bonds. And it is doubtful If even one more issue of Panama bonds can bo floated without depreciating their ▼alua Former Harrisburger Headliner at Majestic ' • W L jsu Jttmfo JMmI JOHN HAMILTON One of tlie vaudevillians who opened a three-day engagement at the Majestlo Theater to-day Is John Hamilton, a native of Shippensburg and a former resident of Harrlsburg. Mr. Hamilton is featured in the com edy sketch "Finders-Keepers." Mr. Hamilton claims the distinction of being the only native of Cumber land county to go on the stage, al though Robert Hood Bowers, who composes the music for most of the Lasky acts, is a native of Chambers burg. Mr. Bowers composed the music to the new Annette Kellerman njcture "A Daughter of the Gods," and Is now leading the orchestra In the Lyric Theater, New York, where the picture is being shown. But that Isn't exactly being on the stage, and Mr. Hamilton still stands as Cumber land county's only representative among the thesplans. If he Isn't he'd like to hear from the others. Mr. Hamilton spent his boyhood In Shippensburg and went to the State Normal school there. Six years ago ho went on the stage, and since that time has appeared in the support of such stars as Richard Carle and Hat tie Williams; Marie Cahill, Lou-Telle gen (formerly Sarali Bernhardt's leading man); Lew Fields, and sev eral others. Mr. Hamilton also ap peared in .several of Jesse Lasky's vaudeville productions, and lias done soma motion picture work for the UMtxo Film Company of New York. COST OF DYES BEFOIiE THE WAR Tlie dyes used on this side of the water cost the consumer between thir ty and forty millions of dollars in nor mal times. This sum does not meas ure the total value of the industry, be cause in addition to the dyes produced there are many drugs and chemicals obtained as by-products of the manu facturer which swell the total to prob ably fifty millions annually. The fact that dye plants may also be used with but little change for the manufacturer of explosives is in line with the generally felt need for pre paredness, and finally there Is the im portant features of the establishment of our manufacturing self dependence.—P.
