BIG FIGHT FOR N. Y. IS NOW ON
WILSON ATTACKS WALL ST.
IN INITIAL N. Y. SPEECH
International News Service.
NNEW YORK, Nov. 3.—With the
arrival of President Wilson today
the battle for the greatest state in
tho union now begins and the sup
porters of both political parties are
exerting their greatest endeavors in
presenting the merits of the two great
parties to the voting public. Hughes
is at present campaigning the state
but he it not expected to arrive In
New York during the stay of the pres
ident.
One of the most remarkable dem
onstrations ever witnessed in the met
ropolis occurred when the special
train bearing the president reached
the city today.
A crowd of more than twenty thou
sand people gathered near the station
and the executive was given an ova
tion, the like of which has never be
fore been witnessed in connection
with a presidential campaign.
In addition to the tremendous crush
at the station, the streets along which
the car bearing the president made
its way were literally packed with
cheering humanity and the police
found themselves almost helpless in
their efforts to force a way for the
ear through the densely packed
masses of humanity. The president
will deliver his Initial public address
at Madison Square Garden tonight
and it is expected that the capacity
of the great hall will be taxed as sel
dom before in its history.
Wilson Attacks Wall Street.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—Not a little
to the surprise of the public as well
us the politicians, President Wilson,
in his initial address here today, open
ed un attack on Wall street by de
claring that one thing the matter
with the United States is that a
small group of men are In practical
control of the country through their
control of the bulk of the resources
and industries.
This he intimated was one of tho
most serious conditions that tne
country was compelled to labor under.
A small group of men representing
\ ast aggregations of capital could not
only control but also practically shape
the destinies of millions of the masses
and, to a great extent, the very poli
cies of the nation.
Near the conclusion of his remarks
on the subject, Wilson openly hinted
'that this control of the country by a
relatively small number of persons is
breeding a tremendous discontent
which in time will develop conditions
o' grave importance and may even
lead to disastrous consequences. Af
ter dilating further on the Influences
of capitalistic control, the president
startled his hearers by openly hinting
that a mighty industrial revolution
is threatening thu business of the*
country and also the Industrial and
business stability of the world.

MARINA GUNS WILL
NOT EXCUSE TEUTONS
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The nvue
presence of guns aboard the British
steamer Marina at the time of the
submarine attack will not prevent the
United States from calling Germany
to strict account in the event that it
Is definitely determined that the d< !
structton of the steamer was due to a
torpedo.
Secretary Lansing announced today
that the state department has decided
to hold to the original contention of
the government that the mere pres
ence of guns aboard a merchant ves
sel cannot bo considered a Justifia
ble excuse for attack without warn
ing.
Lansing stated that the presence of
a four and seven tenth inch gun
aboard the Marina when the vessel
was sunk will not be accepted as an
excuse for the unwarned torpedoing
unless it is definitely shown that the
guns were used.
