NEWTORK CITY
IS GREETED WITH ENTHUSIASM
Great Preparedness Made for Meeting
in Madison Square Garden Tonight
—Rig Political Parade for Tills
Evening.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—President
Wilson arrived here at 9 o'clock this
morning from Buffalo. His arrival
was the signal for tremendous cheer
ing by the thousands who had gather
ed to welcome him to the city. To
night the President is scheduled to
speak in Madison Square Garden,
where, it is expected, the enthusiasm

Three thousand extra seats have

vast building will now seat 14,000
people. A huge political parade will

the Wilson Business Men’s League,
and also at a meeting in Cooper Un

Square meeting.
Held to Grand Jury.
M. Scott was given a hearing in
the commissioners court this morn
ing on the charge of illegally selling
liquor and was bound over to the
grand jury under bonds of $300 which
he furnished. Scott sent a huge
trunk from Seward to Latouche, and
accompanied it on its journey. Ar
riving at Latouche the steamship of
ficials refused to land the trunk be
ing suspicious of its contents, so it
was brought on to Valdez and the
officers notified. When Scott called
for the trunk he was arrested and
the trunk confiscated. It was found
filled to the brim with bottles of
booze.

HAY REPUBLICANS ARE WORRIED
Point to Radical Change In Hughe*
Campaigning Aa Indicating Their
Fear of Loalng New York and Con
necticut.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Democratic
leaders here profess the utmost con
fidence in the result of the election
and predict Wilson is assured of re
election. They point to the sudden
change in the speaking program of
Hughes as Indicating Republican de
feat in New York and Connecticut.
According to the original program the
Republicans had planned a trium
phant closing of the campaign with
a great Republican rally In Madison
Square Garden on Sunday, but this
program had suddenly been changed,
the Democrats claiming because of
disturbing news sent to the candidate
l»y the Republican leaders here, who
see the state slipping from their
grasp as Wilson steadily gains in
strength.
Under the new program Hughes,
who was to have closed his campaign
on Friday will continue his speaking
until Monday night. He will speak
twice in Brooklyn on Friday and
three times Monday in New York
City. Roosevelt has been directed to
remain in Connecticut, where the sit
uation is regarded as critical, and
will speak in Bridgeport on Sunday
evening.
The Democrats express the utmost
confidence in the Connecticut results
and state the Republicans will receive
a disagreeable surprise when the re
turns from that state come In.

OAKLAND, Cal., Nov. 1.—Five
hundred boilermakers at the Union
Iron company’s plant in Alameda
struck this morning, following the re
fusal of ship Utters in the same plant
to affiliate with their union. The

independent organization, with which
the boilermakers are refusing to
work. An agreement may be reached
tonight, company officials say.
