Exchange Telegraph Company, and saidthat thirty ailied warships. accompaniedby transports, had arrived off Piraeus, theport of Athens. Part of the ships are re-ported lying in Salamis and PhaleronBaN.The other dispatch announced the post-

ponement of the Greek elections. Neithertouched on the question which holds Lon-don, and, indeed, the whole world, in afever of interest-what is the fate ofKing Constantine?The first report of the King's abdica-

WITNESSES DISAPPEARIN WHITE SLAVE CASE

District Attorney Believes They Are inSouth America.

(By the Intersatiostl News Segitee.).New York, Sept. 1.-Two persons, whose

importance as witness-s against police-men implicated in the crusade againstwhite slavery, cannot be overestimatedhave been supplied with funds and havemade their escape to South America. The !witnsses, a man and a woman. were re-ported as retting ready to make theirget away yesterday. Today detectives at-tached to the office of District AttorneySwann got on the trail of the pair, butthey vanished before they could be ar-rested.According to the little information thatcould be obtained of the escape, the

woman is a white slave. and the man isa slaver. The district attorney has no

fears th'at his case again, the policemenis jeopardized by the vanishing of thesetwo witnesses. Today Judge Swann re-ceived word of his assistant. J. E. Smith.who is looking up missing witnesses in

vicinity of Boston, that his quest hasbeen more successful than he dreamed.

Judge Swann received two telegramsfrom Mr. Smith. One read:"Got what I came for."Inasmuch as Mr. Smith and Detective

McGlynn went to Boston to look up wit-nesses against policemen who have beenspirited away, his brief message washighly satisfactory to Judge Swann.Shortly after Mr. Smith again tele-graphed:"Everything 0. K. Get man who is the

est witness of threats to get out."The trail of the missing witnesses led

Mr. Smith and his detectives to RevereBeach today. When word went out thatSmith and his associates were on theirway to Boston, a number of white slaversmade a hasty journey there, They aredoing their utmost to forestall the effortsof Judge Swann, but thus far they seemto have met with little success.

HUGHES PRAISEST. R._IN SPEECH

Lauds Roosevelt for Arous-ing Preparedness

Sentiment.By WILLIAM HOSTER.

<I ternatieoal New* service.)Kansas City. Mo.. Sept. 1.-Charles E.

Hughes wound up a busy day in Kansasat a meeting in Convention Hall tonightwhich completeley filled the great audito-rium.The meeting. estimated at 14,00 in num-

ber. was presided over by Walter S.D)ickey, Repubilcan candidate for UnitedStates Senator from Missouri.Twenty-five veterans who voted for

Abraham Lincoln occupied seats on theplatform.Just prior to the meeting Go%. Hughes'

secretary made public this telegram:"San Francisco, Sept. I.

"I was very glad to receive your tele-gram of co talatinm an I -tA youfor it. ('ned.) HIRAM JOHNSON."Among others present were several

hundred G. A. R. men, and when theofficiating clergyman in deliveringthe invocation prior to the introduc-tion of Hughes prayed for early peace,the great auditorium echoed with achorus of "Amens" from the vterans.Governor Hughes' Convention Hall

speech was without any new featuresaside from his compliments to the war

veterans.The big crowd went wild when

Hughes paid tribute to TheodoreRoosevelt for arousing the nation tothe necessity I r preparedness andcheered the Colonel for two minutes.Kansas is another of those ordinar-

ily Republican State'- which may becounted sarely for Hughe.As in the others, the accustomed

plurality will be reduced-in the viewof able political observers who havecanvassed the State.Governor Capper, for instance, predict-ed that Hughes would probably have,000 or 80.000 plurality. Former Senator

Bristow, one of the followers of theprogressive movement, though he neverleft the Republican lwrty. thinks thatit will he 50.0W.Hughes assailed the "extravagance" of

the Democratic administration in a seriesof rear end speeches as he whirled East-ward through Kansas. "The presentdministration has been more extrava-

gant than any one in history." he de-clared to a crowd of several hundred

atEllsworth."I understand from high authority that

in present appropriations, outside ofthose devoted to preparednese and in-creases in the army and navy, the ad-ministration will exceed by $150,000,000 theappropriations of any former Congressin time of peace, and exceed even theappropriations we had in the civil war."
