Democratic Candidate Ad-
dresses Great Throngs in Two
Speeches in Maryland.
EMPHASIZES PROMISES
OF DENVER PLATFORM
Will Engage in No Controversy
With Hearst Over the Lat
ter's Bold Statement.
CUatBERLAXD, Md., Sept. 12. Far
mers and laborers from three States,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Mary
land, were addressed here by W. J.
Bryan today and tonight. The first
speech was In the afternoon to the far
mers, and tho second principally to la
boring men, largely miners. In both
instances the Democratic candidate re
iterated his views concerning- Mr. Taft
and his attitude toward the Republican
platform. Tho tariff, trusts, publicity
of campaign contributions, guaranty of
bank deposits aud tho labor questions
were discussed at length. Mr. Bryan's
remarks were substantially those de
livered yesterday in his speech hi Ohio
aud at Wheeling, W. Va.
Under Intense Heat. .
The afternoon speech was mado un
der a blazing sun, whose rays beat piti
less' down on the heads of the speaker
and the great crowd which stood in the
city hall plaza to bear him. A woman
directly in front of the platform was
overcome by tho heat. Mr. Bryau, observing-
her illness, suspended his re
marks and waited until sho had been
taken away before resuming.
Arriving here at S o'clock in tho
morning in his special car "Olivette,"
Mr. Bryau was at onco taken in hand
by Mayor Kcan, John Keating, John
Brophy and othor prominent Democrats
of the State. Tho Democratic candi
date, after breakfast, was taken on a
long automobile ride over tho city and
surrounding countrj'. On the return,
Mr. Bryan held u reception on tho
porch of tho hotel. Tho arrangements
for his visit also included an opportu
nity to rest up from his arduous work
of the week. Mr. Bryan rrladly availed
himself of this part of tho programme
and slept a couple of hours.
Addresses Many Laborers.
Tho largest "gathering was tonight,
when the Democratic candidate, in talk
ing to the laboring men, pointed out
what tho Denver convention had done
for them in promising remedial legisla
tion affecting tho laboring man's status.
His remarks were roundly cheered. Mr.
Bryan, accompanied by Democratic Na
tional Committeeman John T. McGraw
of West. Virginia, former Governor Jen
nings of Florida, Secretary Koso and
tho correspondents who havo beeriac
companying him on his several jour
neys, left here at 0:30 o'clock tonight
for Deer Park, where thev will bo the
guests uutil Sunday of Mr. McGraw.
There Mr. Bryan is expected to meet
, Konry Gassuway Davis, former Demo
cratic candidate for vice-president, with
whom it is presumed Mr. Bryan will
confer on political topics.
Ignores Mr. Hoarst.
William .1. Bryau will not permit him
self o be drawn into any personal dis
cussion with William Randolph Hearst
in connection with the hatter's state
ment mado in Atlanta last .night, and
again today that Mr. Br3fan had asked
tho support of Mr. Hearst in the pres
ent campaign, promising in return his
support of Mr. Hearst in 1912. "There
is nothing to say." said Mr. Bryan
to tho Associated Press representative,
"except that tho statement of Mr.
Hearst is absolutely false in every par
ticular, T met him at his house and
also at the house of Dr. John W. Cox,
somo time last fall or winter, but nt
neither place nor anywhero elso was
there any conversation which by any
possibility could bo distorted into such
a proposition."
HUGHES AGAINST FIELD,
NEW YORK SITUATION
SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 32. Hughes
agatust tho Geld, would bo tho way a
race track expert would describe the
situation touignt as the county leaders
aud delegates gathered for tho Repub
lican slato convention which is io bo
called to order hero on Monday after
noon. This convention will noiiiinato a
candidate for governor to succeed
Charles K. Hughes of Xew York City,
candidates to fill the other principal
slate of)! cos and presidential electors.
Unremitting oll'orts by tho anti
Hughes leaders to form some kind of a
combination Io prevent tho re-nomination
of tho governor wero tho features
of the situation here today. Whilo tho
leaders of this opposition declared for
publication that they had good hopes
of effecting such result, they admitted
privately that success was problemati
cal to say tho least and tonight it seems
to be the general impression that
Hughes will bo re-nominated, perhaps
on tho first ballot..
Tho anti-IIughea element admitted
that tho troublo witli their efforts was
not that the nm.iority of I ho delegates
wore anxious to nominap Hughes, but
that there appeared nobody else upon
whom the majority could or would unite.

10 ifK DENIAL
Insists That Democratic Leader
Wanted to Make a -Deal
in "Futures."
ATLANTA, Ga., September 12. Wil
liam R. Hearst, when shown Mr. Bryan's
denial of Mr. Hearst's statement that
Mr. Bryan four months ago proposed to
support. Mr. Hearst four j-cars hence, in
return for Mr. Hearst's support in this
campaign, made tho following state
ment: "I don't sec why Mr. Br3'an is al
ways proposing policies that ho has
to recant, saying things that ho has to
retract, and doing things that he has to
deny.
"'When Mr. Brynn eaino to New York
somo four mouths ago, I did not call
on him as I had nothing to sco him
nbont. Ho did call ou mo as apparently
ho had something to seo mc about.
"I kept his visit a secret, but Mr.
Chandler in :t suit against mo stated
in his affidavit that ho had seeu Mr.
Bryan at my house and so tho visit
was inadvertently mado public. That
visit was without result as I purposely
avoided polities. Shortly after I re
ceived an invitation from a friend of
mine to dinner. When I wont to tho
dinner I found Mr. Bryan. After din
ner Mr. Bn'nn stepped asido with mo
in the hall and said exactly what I said
ho did. .
"I wish he had not said it. I was
surprised and humiliated by the propo
sition. It showed that Mr. Bryan had
no appreciation or coucoption of tho
i work I had done, for him or of tho rea
son I had worked so hard and made so
many sacrifices in tho cause. It showed
that, ho considered mo merely a trader
working for some personal advantage of
promotion in politics. I left tho houso
humiliated as I say, but more thnn ever
opposed to Mr. Bryau, moro than ever
convinced that I was right in opposing
him." -

Expert Testimony. '
Colonel James Templar, former chief 'j'l
of tho aeronautical division of tho
British army, and who has been send- ''l
ing roports to his government on his ob-
nervations of aerial flight in this conn- ;
try, was ono of the most interested :'IH
spectators at Fort Myer today. Octavo '
Chamite, tho pioneer aeronaut; Major r' jH
Fournior, tho French military attache, '
and numerous others wero present to-
daw ,
Aftor tho - flights Colonel Templar H
said: ' IH
"I hpye '.ialways "believed in tho Jl
Wright brothers, although I have nevor r?H
witnessed auy of their flights before. I t
am sure that Mr. Wright could fly in 1 ilH
the machine ho is now using to New ; jl
York and back to Washington in ono ( iH
night, without making any stops for Il
fuol. Just think what this would mean IJH
in time of war. -(
"These aerial flyers aro an advanco- w H
ment in warfare, and will lead to gen- r
cral pacification, I believe. The Brit-
ish army has been making experiments j ?.fl
with aeroplanes for somo timo, but I ,
am not at liberty to say what has been rl
accomplished. I think within a mouth lil
oomothiug will bo hoard from us. Wo ' 'il
havo an American, F. S. Cody, and
Captain Dunn of our army, who havo I 4H
beca making experiments for some ; f
timo. Tho Wright brothers aro tho pio- ' ll
nccrs, though, and they aro perfect. ' H o
BDISON PREDICTS NEW v lill
TYPE OF AIESHIP SOON
SEATTLE. Wash., Sopt. 12. Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, who is taking 1 v
a vacation on tho Pacific coast, says that
neither tho aeroplane nor the dirigiblo ,
balloon will successfully solve the qucs- I
tion of navigating tho air. ' H
"I am firmly couvinced," said he, j
"that tho timo is near at hand when -H JIH
it will be possiblo to sail through the I ; IH
air us easily and as safely as wc new I IH
go by land or by water, I have littlo i H
faith iu tho aeroplane or tho balloon as (
a means of aerial navigation. Tho aoro- Tl
plane of tho Wright brothers depends
too much on tho personal equation. Place
same other man in that aeroplane and -it
would not work. It. depends upon thn
skillful handling of tho machino by tho , -
iuventor. Tho acroplano and tho dirig- j .'
iblo balloon will bo improved, T havo .
no doubt, but I look to sco tho applica- jl
tion of a principle different from either i
in tho successful airship. Tho airship V
of tho futuro will bo lifted by a mo- Ai jH
onanism something like a spiral. It will
havo tho ability fo rise without first il
giving it forward momentum aud it will i Tl
not imitato closely tho flight of birds. till
"With tho holical lifting appliance, MIH
improved propellors and dovice for main- f 'H
taming bnlanco iu tho air, tho futuro 1 f
airship will fly into tho teeth of tho ' fll
wind, will riso to heights whero favor- ,
able currents may bo found, or skim V rtH
tho surface of the earth. Yes, naviga.-
tion of tho air will surely come. It is jl
simply a question of appb'ing mccbani- il
cal knowledge in a new way." !
SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT OF .
LARGE DIRIGIBLE BALLOON 1
MAGDEBUPG, Sept. 12. A . large . jH
dirigible balloon appeared over this city Ul
from the north at S o'clock this morn- ! fjH
ing and began a scries of maneuvers. : jl
After a whilo tho balloon disappeared , ' 4H
iu tho directiou of Berlin, il
It is probably tho military dirigiblo i 1H
balloon thnt left Berlin at half-past ten lH
last night, under tho command of Major
Gross of tho army ballooning dopart- -M
ment, who was accompanied by two jl
brother officers. The Gross balloon was , iH
scheduled to fly from Berlin to Stottin - IM
and back, but its position over this city 2 'M
indicates that instead it has travclod IfH
to tho southward. i riH
BEJRLTN, Sept. 12. Tho Gross diri-
giblo balloon returned to its darting jj H
place shortly before noon today after j 'H
a successful flight, at moderate b'peed (; H
of thirteen bourn. lH
Tho dislauco covered was announced IH
as about 200 miles over a triangular 'jM
