comment: Details entered from an article in the New York Times. It notes that the President arrived at Carnegie Hall at 5:23 PM and appeared on stage at 5:37. Doors were opened at 1:00 PM, in anticipation of his scheduled arrival, which did not occur until later due to a delay in the docking of the ship carrying him to Hoboken, NJ. It also notes that President Wilson did not refer to the League of Nations in his speech, instead reserving that topic for his address to the Senate; he instead discussed the peace negotiations conducted at the Paris Peace Conference. The article also describes in detail the security measures implemented to protect the President inside Carnegie Hall and in the surrounding area. "CITY GIVES WARM GREETING."
