DEMOCRATS Welcome Accorded Dem ocratic Candidate for Governor at Saratoga Surprises Most Sanguine Friends. DEMOCRATIC TICTORY CONFIDENTLY EXPECTED "If Elected I Shall Be a Con stitutional Governor," De clares Mr. Chanler "I Shall Enforce Laws Against All Breakers," Saratoga, N.

Oct. 13. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler in his speech tonight in convention hall refused to be diverted by Governor Hughes from the issues whiirh he has said hitherto affected vitally the general welfare of the people of the State. In his address he adhered closely to the broader questions of the policy which he has chosen to stand upon. Saratoga and Saratoga County with the assistance of hundreds of Warren County voters, gave Mr.

Chanler the most impressive reception that a Democratic candidate for Governor has received in these parts for many years. Republicans and Democrats joined in the demonstration. Half the space on the stage was occupied by Republican merchants, bankers and lawyers of Saratoga and Glens Falls. Saratogians without distinction of party were keen to express resentment against Governor Hughes. There was not a Hughes lithograph to be seen in any of the streets.

Chanler pictures were pasted In every shop window along Broadway. Every other man you met wore a Chan ler button. Governor Hughes carried Saratoga County in 1906 by 2,290. Conservative Democrats declared there is a fair chance that the county will swing this year into the Democratic column. James D.

McNulty, president of the village, presided in convention hall. John S. Whalen, candidate for Secretary of State, and George M. Palmer, candidate; for Attorney General, spoke before Mr. Chanler's automobile dashed him here from Glens Falls.

Mr. Chanler went Into the matter of Republican extravagance in national and State governments. He promised that if elected Governor he would see to it that the peoples affairs were administered capably and honestly on less than the present high rate of expenditure, Mr. Chanler denied the truth of Governor Hughes assertion that all opposed to the utilities commissions were "reactionaries." "If elected I shall be a constitutional Governor," said he in conclusion. "1 shall do jny duty under the constitution of our State.

I shall enforce the laws of the State no matter who breaks them." Tomorrow afternoon starting from Albany, the candidate for Governor will make speeches at Gloversvllle, Johnstown, Fonda and Amsterdam. Tomorrow night he will face audiences in Schenectady and Troy. STATE CONTRACTORS CAN WORK MEN 8 HOURS ONLY Court of Appeals Passes Upon Point Upholding Statute. Albany.i Oct. 13.

The validity of that section of the labor law providing that no workmen upon public work "shall be permitted or required to work more than eight hours In one calendar day," is upheld by the Court of Appeals In a decision handed down today. The court in substance holds that a violation of the law Is justification for the withholding of payments for such work from contracts. The question came up In an action begun by the Williams Engineering and Contracting Company of New York to compel Comptroller Herman A. Metz of New York to pay two instalments; aggregating about on a contract for the completion of sewers in New York. It is understood that nearly $700,000 is involved In this contract.

The comptroller refused payment, that the contractor had violated the labor law. In that It employed i Its men more than eight eight hours a day and did not pay the prevailing1 rate of wages. The Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts, which directed the payment of the money. The Judges sitting In this case were: Chief Judge Cullen and Judges Van, Chase. Willard.

I IN WAY SUCCEED LATE C0MMIS3I0HBR SAftGErtY Explanation at Last Made ol Principal Subject of Discussion Between Longshore men's Chief and President on October New York, Oct. 13. The Demo- national committee, through -John J. Gordon, acting chief of th press bureau, tonight made public the following statement: "It was stated at the national Dem- ocratic committee headquarters that President Roosevelt, by promise of office, had succeeded in having one of the big men of the American Federation of Labor desert President Gompers in his advocacy of the election of Mr.

Bryan for the Presidency. "The labor leader in question It Daniel J.

"The Democratic committee alleges that Keefe and the President wer closeted for several hours In Washington on Saturday, October 3d, and the offer of being named commissioner of immigration, made vacant by the death of Commissioner Sargent was made by Mr. Keefe repudiating Mr.

Gompers and the executive com mlttee. "Keeefe on Saturday last issued statement in which he said, 'lam going to vote for William IL Talt Keefe Was Against Taft.

Roosevelt May Reply.

Secretary Loeb, upon being shown the statement Issued from Democratic headquarters in New York, said nothing in the nature of a reply would be given out at the White House tonight, but that the charge probably would receive attention tomorrow.

(New York Sun Special.) Washington, Oct. 13. The report of Revenue Agent Reuben B.

Sains, who was sent to Western New York at the instance of President Roosevelt to in vestigate the alleged pernicious activities of Archie D. Sanders and John A. Merritt, furnishes grounds which, in the investigator's opinion, Justifies the dismissal of these federal office-holders. The report, which is a bulky document couched in strong and explicit language, has been in the hands of the Treasury Department, but it was not until today that the exact nature of Agent Sams' finding became known. It was found by President Roosevelt's investigator, who was sent to Niagara and Genesee counties after Congressman Peter Porter had visited the White House seeking vengeance for himself and his famous cow, that Collector of Internal Revenue Sanders and Collector of Customs Merritt had been taking an active part in politics.

It Is set forth in the Sams report that the two collectors were especially active In the campaign which led to the defeat of Porter for renomination for Congress, but that after the peremptory warning from Oyster Bay late last summer they were not as conspic uously active as they were prior to that time. The agent undertakes to establish, however, that the office holders cpntlnued their "perniciously active" efforts to defeat Porter through other persons in the Wai.wrMr fac tion. Details Not Known. A great many allegations concern ing the political conduct of Messrs. Sanders and Merritt were received at the White House, most of them coming from Porter and his friends, but the findings of Agent Sams in regard to these charges in detail are not known.

The Sams report is still somewhere In the Treasury Depart ment where it has now been for the last ten days. It was learned today that It has not been sent to the Pres ident, and there is some reason for believing that Secretary Cortelyou has not yet read it. The number of "perniciously active' has been multiplied w(tlilii the last fortnight, and although conspicuous 'examples' have been made of several Federal officeholders, there is no idea that all the alleged defenders will be disciplined In the short time before election. The President himself asked several officeholders of the same rela tive rank as Collector Sanders and Col lector Merrlt, to gather political information for turn and to perform other campaign service. The postmaster at Clarksburg, has successfully resisted efforts to get him out of office by proving that his political activities were performed under orders from an important administration officer in Washington.

13. it is estimated that farmers in Pulaski Starke and Laporte counties have lost 1,500 horses recently from a disease of unknown origin. The horses when attacked by the malady droop as if consumptive and finally die. in a few instances they recover but when they do they are mere wrecks and have to be killed. Austria May Be Recalcitrant, but It is Believed That the Powers Will Find a Way to Brin Her to Their Way of Thinking.

London, Oct. 13. New and important effects of the Balkan crisis may be expected soon. The next announcement probably will be the conclusion of a much closer Anglo-Russian agreement. This is, a development which both Germany and Austria will seriously regret.

Rumors of it have sufficed to greatly modify the German attitude during the past two days. A triple entente among Russia, France and Great Britain will more than offset the Dreibund of Germany, Austria and Italy, especially as the latter is scarcely more than an official friend of its Austro-German partners. It is said that Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey has twice changed his mind during the past week in regard to calling another European conference. All depends upon the prearranged terms of what the conference will discuss. It seemed impossible last week that these could be agreed upon.

Germany has entirely altered her attitude and she is now ready to accept the views of Russia, Great Britain and France. Austria may continue recalcitrant, but it is expected that Germany will apply such measures of moral coercion that she must yield. Such Is the latest aspect of the situation, but the crisis will assume new and various phases for. many day io come. Sofia.

The Austrian ambassador has made another protest to the Porte against the boycott and newspaper attack on Austria. He hinted that it would be wise not to over irritate his government.

STATE BREWERS ARE NOT FIGHTING GOV. HUGHES Official of Association Makes Definite Denial of Current Rumor. New York. Oct. 13.

William Forster, general solicitor for the New York State Lager Beer Brewers' Association and also for the Lager Beer Brewers' Board of Trade for New York City and vicinity, has issued a denial of the report that the brewing interests of the State have aligned themselves against the re-election of Governor Hughes. "Speaking for the two brewers' organizations I represent," said Mr. Forster, "I desire to stamp as false the reports. Neither the State Brewers' Association nor the local Board of Trade, nor any brewers' organization In the State, officially or otherwise, has taken any stand against Governor Hughes. Our organizations, like our business interests, are neutral and non-partisan, and the organizations will take absolutely no part in the State campaign, directly or indirectly.

"I also desire to stamp as false the reports that our organizations are affiliated with the Personal Liberty League. The brewing interests have nothing to gain from active participation in any political warfare. Their duty lies in field of peaceful and morq endeavor to cleanse the traffic of all that Is unlawful and immoral." ADVANTAGE OF CONGENIALITY With the right sort of a maid in the house, everybody is happier, even the children feel the difference. It's hard to believe it, but there really does exist somewhere just the kind of a maid you want. A bright, cheery presence that straightens out the housekeeping tangles as if by magic that always has meals on time and knows just how you like your steak cooked and your dessert served that lets the children putter and fuss In the kitchen if they like aryl always looks tidy enough to answer the bell.

TAKES FAMILY JEWELS CF LARGE VALUE New York, Oct. 13. Posing as a real estate agent, a man whose identity fs not known to the police this afternoon gained entrance to the home of Sum-merfield McLean, a publisher at No.
