HINMAN STRONG AS RACE NEARS FINISH Candidates Plan Stirring Close to Primary Cam? paign Fight. CLAIM OF VICTORY IS MADE BY ALL Whitman's Friends Confident as j Hedges's Supporters Seek "Silent" Vote. The last week of the primary ?cam- : paign opens with the three candidates for the Kepublu-an nomination tor Governor prepaied to make a stirring The managers for District Attorney Whitman are supremely confident. Some of them go so far as to ea> he will win by a vote of 3 to 1. Those who have charge of the cam? paign of Harvey D, ?H,'m_n1ni-e .w phatic in expressing the bellet mat, with the organization they have per? fected upstate, and Hedges splitting the vote with Whitman here, the Btng as?atea Senator will win. , Friends of Job E. Hedges acknowl- , edge that they are not going to get j much of the vote that can be con trolled by the ?listrict leaders, but they are counting on his popularity and an- | ticipote a large "silent" \?>te for him. | They complain bitterly of the efforts | of organiiation leaders for the other j candidates, and declare it to be a vio latina of the spirit of the direct pri- ' mary law. Former Senator Hinmnn spent the day at the Murray Hill Hotel, prepar? ing his speeches and seeing many vis? itors. Among those from upstate were farmer Senator George H. Cobb and Francis If. Hugo, of Watcrtown; W. Barlow Dunlap, of Montgomery Coun? ty, and a delegation from Rensselaer. "The reports that we have been re? ceiving." said J. Calvin McKnight, "show that Hinman is gaining all along the line and that in many counties Hedges will have moro votes than Whitman." Mr. Hinman expects to go to Bing hamton on an early train this morning. At Jamestown to-morrow he will meet the leaders of Chautauqua, Cattaiaugu and Allegany counties. Un Tuesday there will be four or five night meet? ings in Buffalo. William R. Daniels has opened Hinman headquarters there and reports that he is making converts daily. There will be a luncheon at the Ellicott Club, at which Mr. Hinman will be introduced to many leading mem? bers of the organization. Wednesday he will meet the leaders of Orleans County at Medina. That night he is to speak in Auburn. The following day he will speak in Sullivan County, at Liberty. Friday and Saturday he will be in this city again. The first evening ? will be devoted to Brooklyn ana Satur? day night to Manhattan, beginning with a big meeting in the 23d Assembly Dis? trict. "The nomination of Whitman is as? sured," said Frederick C. Tanner, his manager, in a formal statement. He added: "The managers of one candidate have founded their hopes upon securing the co-operation of political organizations ' hnd claims have been made by both of the opposing candidates which arc dis? proved by correspondence filed with our committee. Canvasses have been made by us and in every case the poll has shown increased support for Mr. Whitman. In response to tho demand of enrolled Republicans, counties with an aggregate enrolment of more than 360,000, out of 622,000 enrolled Repub? licans in the state, have declared for Mr. Whitman." "All H-dges want? ?i i square deal," said Luther B. Little, ch.-.irnian of his committee, last night. "We want the j primary law observed in letter and in . spirit. He is abiding by it himself, and i in every speech has said he wanted ! every individual to be able to vote free ? from coercion. The conduct < f most of i the leaders is in direct violation of the I attitude of the party outlined at the ; Waldorf conference and the Sarutog- ! convention " Wntn William Barnes was asked what he haii to say in reply to the c'.arges that ro was telling Repub? licana that a vote for Hedges was a vote for Hinman and that they must vot? fer Whitman he said: "As an individual I have ? perfect right when my ?.dvice is asked to pivrf it. I have no patronage to f,ive and ca . offer ro inducements to any one to takc my advice." Mr. Barnes has replied to the Utter of Herman Beyers, makint* similar criti c>ms of his conduct, but would not give it out for publication. It was reported yesterday li cer? tain memlcrs of the Barnes (rrou to induce Mr. Hedges to retire and throw his support to Mr. Whitman, but the proposition was rejected. *Mr. Hedges will make a whirlwind tour in Brooklyn to-morrow night. He will ijkeak ir the clubhouses in the following districts: 2d, 3d, 1st, 10th, 11th, 17th. l.'th, and in St. Paul's Chapel, St. Paul's l'lace, near Church av., Fiatbush.

Theatre. Cheered by crowds of East Siders i Governor und Mrs. Glynn last night 1 made their first rest tour of that sec I tion, attending Kessler's Theatre as j the guest of Judge Aaron J. Levy. The house ?ras crowded up to the roof, and the Governor was persuaded into mak? ing a speech. Tie talked briefly on the Workmen's Compensation act and repeated the remarks he has made in previous speeches as to the economy of his ad? ministration. He took peculiar pride, he said, in being the first Governor to appoint an orthodox Jew to the highest judiciary office, adding that he would appoint another when he found one to measure up to Judge Cordosa. He spent the rest of the evening in East Side restaurants. EDISON'S LATEST READY Wizard to Show Telescribe, Which Records 'Phone Talk. Thomas A. Edison is ready to de? monstrate another practical electrical invention. He calls this new one a "telescribe," and its function is to record on a phonograph both sides of an ordinary telephone conversation. . It was announced yesterday by the Edison company that a demonstration of the device will be held for the news? papers at the Seely Office Appliance Company, 114 Liberty st., on Tuesday at 3 p. m. GLYNN EXPECTS EASY VICTORY Confines Discussion of Politics to Prediction Speaks on Waterways. Governor Glynn, who is at the Van derbilt Hotel, was-exceedingly reticent on political matters yesterday. He did ? soy. however, that, after travelling !undreds of miles through the state, hi1 vas satisfied with the situation and expected to win the nomination of the I Democratic party without any trouble, j As to the possibility that William ; Church Osborn might be induced to re? consider his determination not to serve , another term as state chairman, Mr. \ (iljnn was silent. He did say, how ?ver, that his relations with Mr. Os- ' bom had always been most cordial anil that he was one of those most respon- : pible for the original selection of the j state chairman. The Governor is particularly inter- i ???ted at the moment, he said, in try? ing to induce Congress to give New . York State a larger appropriation for ihe development of waterways in this ' .late. He wants business men to at-j tend the Atlantic Deeper Waterways , Congress, which will meet at the Ma- , jestic Hotel in .this city to-morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. New York State hasn't had a square i'? al from the federal authorities in regard to its waterway develop? ment," said the Governor. "We have spent for that purpose one-fifth as much as the United States has spent on its entire seacoast and river mile ace. This state has spent SrOO.OOO.OOO or more on water development and at the same time is contributing to defray the expenses of what the government is doing. One reason we have not got what we should is that our citi/eiii have been too apathetic. 1 hope there will be,a good representation at the Waterways Congress that will urge the needs of this state." The Governor said the federal au? thorities ought to spend $7,000,000 in deepening the upper reaches of the j Hudson to render the new barge canal j uvailable at all ?casons of the year. The Governor will attend the meet lag of the State Compensation Com- '? mission in the Metropolitan Building i to-morrow. Yesterday he conferred with Lieutenant Governor Wagner and other Tammany leaders. BANKS CAN USE : $100,000,000 FUND Reserve Board Approve* Plan for Paying Euro? pean Obligations. [From The Tribune Hureau ] Washington, Sept. 19. -The bankers' plan for a $100,000,000 gold fund to meet American obligations in Kuropt was approved today by the Federal Reserve Board. National banks in ?entrai reserve and reserve cities will be asked to j contribute to the fund, but country banks are not expected to participate. Although a syndicate of New York bankers already has arranged to take cure of $80,000,000 of that city's Euro? pean obligations, national banks in New York will be counted on for contribu? tions to the additional $100,000,000 fund. I The gold will be deposited in the j branch of the Bank of England in S Ottawa, Canada. The first ?all on | banks probably will be designed to : bring out frjui $20,000,000 to $25,000, 000. Details of the plan, however, i were not worked out to-day at a con? ; ference between bankers and the board. They will be considered next ; week. Additional amendments to the cur l rency law were decided on by the House ; Banking :md Currency Committee to ? day,'following the reappearance before ! the committee of Paul M. Warburg and W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal IU I serve Board. At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Warburg the committee agreed to rc j port an amendment giving the board i authority to pel mit member banks to carry their reserves In the Federal Re ' serve banks, rather than their own vaults. Opposition to this proposal cropped out in committee yesterday, lut Mr. Warburg argued to-day that in the present financial emergency the | board should have the power to use to ? advantage reserves which otherwis?? j would lie idle in the vaults of the ; men-lier banks. The operation of the amendment, however, was limited to three year?;, this beiiif? a compromise between the two factions in the committee. Mr. Warburg said it would facilitate th? beginning of the operation of the Fed? eral Reserve system were the board given authority, which he said would [?? i'losly guarded, to shift these re? serves to twelve centres of the coun? try, rather than have then? distributed ; tnong 10,000 'mnks.

I BIG WELCOME FOR HINMAN IN KINGS Crowds Hear His Plans in Fight on Bosses and Their Rule. EMPHATIC DENIAL TO POWER INNUENDO Candidate Says Record Shows That He Foiled Orab Plot Bills in Senate. Brooklyn warmed up enthusiastically last night to Harvey D. Hinman, candi? date for the Republican primary nom? ination for Governor. Mr. Hinman, with Charles E. Hughes, jr., son of the justice, visited four Republican clubs in the borough in an automobile and told thousands of men just why he de? serves their votes and what he will do if he is nominated and elected. He didn't crack any jokes or drag in any of that "As I look down into your intelligent faces." And he didn't fling any mud. He spoke briefly of his record, and asked his hearers to con- | aider it when they tried to decide on their choice. His tirst stop was the 12th District Republican Club at 409 9th st. Tho chairman -rara avis?introduced the Senator without a ton or two of pre? liminary words. In beginning his speech the Senator called attention to an alleged attack maile on him by "The Standard Union," h newspaper printed in Brooklyn. In an editorial Friday the paper intimated, i he said, that a large power company in | the northern part of the state "favors j my nomination because it and like con-1 cerns would profit thereby." "It concludes the editorial," asserted I the candidate, "with 'there are forces j behind the Hinman candidacy that op- ] parently have not come into the open.' "The man who wrote that editorial ' knew -or at least it was his business to know -my record while a member | of the State Senate. The insinuation | that any power company is supporting my candidacy is not only a falsehood, ! but a ridiculous falsehood. The records ? show that 1 opposed and voted against i the power grab bills when they were before the Senate. I was one of the four Senators who voted against the 'Long Sault bill.' Foiled Power Grab mil. "On the last day of the session of j 1D12, when a power grab bill wap re? ported out of committee to be passed In the closing rush of the session, un? der an emergency message from a Democratic Governor, I led the fight against the bill, and the bill was de? feated. "The men and forces who are sup? porting my candidacy are not operat? ing in secret; they are out in the open; their names and their work are known of all men. On the other hand, some of the forces which are opposing my nomination are working, as always, under ground and in the dark. The fact is that at least one concern in this state which is interested in ob? taining power rights and privileges from the state is opposing my can? didacy. "I want the people of this borough to know that the same forces which so bitterly opposed Governor Hughes and the things for which he stood, whose opposition resulted in the defeat of our party, and who are indirectly re? sponsible for the present deplorable ; conditions in the state, are to-day se- j cretly opposing me and are supporting1 one of my opponents. This is, of: course, their privilege. But I insist? that a newspaper editor, who must j know such facts, is treating neither ? the public nor the party fairly by mis- ; representing or misstating the situa-j tiun in an endeavor to mislead the' people." His Senate record of eight years, he ; said, would show clearly that he was ; always independent of control, did his own thinking and took orders from no one. And if nominated and elected ! Governor no man or set of men will j control his acts. Nor will the office be , used to further the personal or po- ! litical ambitions or the fortunes of any man, himself included. War Declared on Bosses. The fight that Governor Hughes had made against the bosses in his own party was now his tight, the Senator continued, and he feels honored by the opposition of William Barnes. Senator Hinman pledged himself to amend the primary law and make it what it was originally intended to be j and to abolish useless commissions. I clean up the useful ones now parts of i political machines, an 1 to throw out | the numerous holders of useless jobs and the jobs with then.. Mr. Hughes spoke at each of the meetings. The other stops were the ; 18th District Republican Club, at 2431 Church av.; the 23ii District Republi? can Club, at 31 Truxton st., in Fast New York, and the 4th, at 58<5 Bedford '' BV- -. 600 SUBWAY MEN GUESTS OF SHONTS ?

SUBWAY KILLS PREACHER Man Who Dropped Belongings on Track May Be Suicide.

Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 19. Theo? dore Roosevelt, speeding across Kansas and expounding the doctrine of the Progressive party, ended his first day's journey here to-night with b speech in Convention Hall. The hall was. cro?vd ed, and Progressive leaders from all Western Kansas came to discuss party plans with their national leader. "I am back in Kansas to speak and fight for Victor Murdock and Henry Allen and the entire Progressive party ticket." the colonel said. "Those Pro? gressively inclined citiiens who have hoped for a measure of advanced con? structive legislation from the Repub? lican party have learned their error. Cannon and Penrose have been nomi? nated and Bristow has been humil? iated." All the way across the stave the colonel was met by cheering crowds. He made half a doien short platform addresses. SAYS WHITMAN'S VOTE WENT TO T.R. Bonheur Asserts Prosecu? tor Pleged Aid for Roosevelt. Lucien Bonheur, a Progressive who worked to got the fusion indorsement for Mayor for District Attorney Whit? man last year, made a statement yes? terday in regard to the reports that Mr. Whitman had voted for Rooseve't in 1912. He said that in May, 1913, h? took Mr. Whitman to call on the Colonel at Oyster Bay, in the hope of getting him to como out for the Dis? trict Attorney. "Mr. Whitman told Colonel Roosevtlt at that interview," declared Mr. Bon? heur, "as he had previously told me, that he had voted for Roosevelt in 1912. He said further that, whether the Colonel supported him for Mayor >.t not, he (Whitman) would continue to support Roosevelt in the future -that he believed as he did." When the statements of Mr. Bonncur were called to the attention of Mr. Whitman last night he seid: "These stories haw already been sufflcia-ntly denied. I am willing to re? peat, however, my Statement that I novel voted for Colonel Roosevelt ,n 1912." Mr. B.-mheur said that at a later con? ference between the Colonel and Mr. Whitman, at which lie ?aras present also, the Colonel said much of the Progres? sive opposition to Whitman was dut to the fact that they believed he was in political alliance with Abraham Gruber. Mr. Whitman denied the charge. "The Colonel said that the Progres- ? sive opposition had not lessened," said Mr. Bonheur, recounting what he said took place, "but indicated that he pet sonally was prepared to support Whit? man." Mr. Whitman last night said that th:s was not ro. "The Colonel told me," he said, "that I was absolutely suited for Mayor, b ?t that as he was not a resident of New York County he could not take anv pfirt in the campaign.*1 Going forth? r in his narrative of the conference, Mr. Bonheur said: "Mr. Whitman said that if elect???! Mayor he would not be a candidate for Governor unless it was ?tffreeablu to Colonel Roosevelt. He did not say agreeable to the Progressive party, but to Colonel Roosevelt an I men holdin?., t'..e same ideals in government thiu th ? Colonel typifies. The theory of the talk was that if the machine control n. Albany by the two party organizations continued to be such that a man who stood for Roosevelt's ideals was needed to clean up the situation, Mr. Whitman would enter the field for Governor on such a platform." POLICE RIDE RACE AT FAIRS FINALE Mounted Sq-ad of Water De? partment Give Exhibition in White Plains. The final day of the Westchester County fair was most successful.

GLYNN Operation of Direct Primary Law Fails to Eliminate Bosses, He Says. Job E. Hedges was enthusiastically received yesterday afternoon when he addressed a large audience in the grandstand at the Westehester County Fair at White Plains. Previous to his mounting the speakers' platform Mr. Hedges sat in a box directly in fi?ont of Franklin D. Roosevelt and listened to his plea for tho Democratic nomina? tion for United States Senator. Mr. Hedges was introduced by E. B. j Long, the head of the Fair Association. Before going to the fair grounds Mr. Hedges wbs entertained at the White Plains Republican headquarters by Mayor John J. Brown, Police Commis? sioner P. B. Parker, James C. Farrell and several other prominent Repub? licans. -Mr. Hedges was applauded when he M ? d : "I submit that my candidacy will . h?ive less of a factional coloring than i that of either of the other two candi- ' dates, that it will excite less antago- ! nism and that it will find a more en- j thusiastic support in the hearts of the enrolled Republicans." Mr. Hedges said he spoko without any malice toward ! the other two candidates, but he de- ] ctared that he presented himself to the j Republicans of the state as the only , candidate for the Republican nomina- | tion for Governor whose party regu? larity is absolutely unassailable. He further said: "Should a Republican Governor be ' eUcted he will be most efficient if he i ha? been steadfast in his party affilia? tion, has been without complications ' with alliances, attempted or real, and without combinations with the control ling element in our common enemy, the Iieinorratic party, as exemplified by Tammany Hall." "His intimates and close friends," Mr. Hedges continued, "must be devoid of connections which will be a neces- ' sary cause of suspicion and solicitude m the performance of his duties." In the evening Mr. Helges spoke a'. two meetings in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. Speaking of the workings of th" direct prinarv law, he laid at the clubhouse in the 2d Assembly District, , of which Joseph Leveneon is leader: "It was supposed to be a law that .should deprive the so-called bosses in the parties of an oveiweening influence through their control ot the party ma- ' chiner** upon the stlectioa of candi? dates. "In the Progressive pnity the entire party machinery, led by Colonei Roose? velt, is working for the support of Mr . Da*-en port, while Mr. Sulser is seeking the nomination against this influence. "In the Democratic paity the entire ; party machinery, controlled by Mr. Murphy, in being exercised In the sup? port of Governor Glynn against the aspirations of Mr. Hennessy "Tho situation In the Republican party is more complicated and more in? teresting. There the candidacy of Mr. Whitman Is being supported by the ?t?te chairman, Mr. Barnes; by the New York County president, Mr. Koenig, and, according to 'The Even? ing Post,* by Mr. Quigg. The candi? dacy of Mr. Hinman is supported by the former party leader. Mr. Odell, and his adherents, while I am tryin-, to secure the nomination by a strict adherence ta the primary lew by uninfluenced appeal to the enrolled voters of the party."_ WHITMAN MAKES ELEVEN SPEECHES District Attorney on Tour Feels Effect of Moose Opposition Here. District Attorney Whitman made eleven speeches last night in Manhat? tan and got four formal indorsements. In three districts where leaders have come out for other candidates he was cordially received, but no vote of ap? proval of his candidacy was given. The lHth, 20th, 24th and 28th, all Democratic districts, are strong for Whitman as Republican candidate for Governor. They went on record last night. I'p in the 3Lst, however, which has always been Republican until Pro? gressive tendencies began to manifest themselves, three meetings produced only large and enthusiastic crowds but r.o tangible indorsement. John J. Lyons, leader, who has allied himself with the Hedges forces, re? mained away from his club, 276 Lenox av., as did Collir. H. Woodward, of the 23d, when the candidate spoke at the leaders' club, 2005 Amsterdam av. Aa in the 31st, Whitman made two other ?"peeches, and the six were with him, Down in Alexander Wolf's 4th District Club, this Hedges leader's followers put their best foot forward and gave the District Attorney a respectful recep? tion. Whitman repeated that his record was his promise and asked all who had voted their confidence in him when he ran for District Attorney to go to the primaries and vote Whitman for the third time. He said if he won he wanted them to vote for him a fourth time, but if one of his opponents was successful he hoped all would turn to and elect the Republican candidate. With him on his whirlwind tour were his campaign manager, Frederick C.

PLANS TO ASSIST CANDIDATES FOILED I i Eulogies for Oerard Oiven to Counteract Indorsement from Murphy. Tammany leaders have been worry? ing much of late as to how they were going to beat that provision of the di rect primary law which prohibits any ; designation on the ballot to show who are the candidates favored by the or? ganization. The candidates are put on the ballot grouped according to ornees and their places In the group are de? cided by lot. The names on the ballot are num ? bered serially.

Tammany heard that in Massachu? setts they beat the ballot there by giv? ing the organization voter a screen, which, laid over the ballot, would ex? pose only the candidates for whom he was expected to vote. The ballot here Il too large to make such a screen : feasible, it is thought. Fearing the result of the attack on : ? Ambassador James W. Gerard's candi- i I dacy because it received its inception from Charles F. Murphy, a series of eulogies from well-known men is to be ? made public. The first came last night < from Samuel Untermyer. He spoke of the high judicial ability of Ambassador Gerard, his wide experience in business and financial affairs, and in regard to his work in Berlin said: "Nothing was too much for him. In? stead of turning over the performance i of his duties to a 'committee' he con? stituted himself a 'committee.' He be- ! lieves in party government, but no one who knows him csn imagine him as i subservient to the orders or demands of ! any person or organization." Franklin D. Roosevelt denied last ; night that he had said Mr. Gerard, hi? j opponent, was an enemy of decent gov- ? j crnment. He spoke yesterday alter* j noon at the White Plains Fair and in I i the evening at New Rochelle. . . ?-?
