his thanks to the two governments and
the newspapers.
Mr. Hawley said that his brother and
Post had had plenty of provisions in the
ear, and therefore had not starved. He
had received many letters from persons
who sent condolences, actinic upon tho
supposition that the aeronauts were
dead.
The new record established by Hawley
and Post, unofficially estimated at I*Bso
miles, exceeds all previous flights. Only
this year Count OdensoX of Russia.
claimed to have flown 1.324 miles in
forty hours, but the figures were not
officially verified. If the estimated dis
tances are made official, the long stand
ing record of Count de la Vaulx, of 1,103
miles, made in IJMX>. in a flight from
France- to Siberia, has been broken by
at least three of the contestants in the
recent race — the America 11. the Pus
eeldorf II and the CJermanla. The offi

definitely to settle the question.
Samuel F. Perkins, aid in the Dussel
dorf. which alighted approximately 110
to 12.". miles from the epot where the
America descended, out of his experi
ences last night threw some light on the
hardships probably encountered by Haw
ley and Post. He said:
• It took us four days to make our way
seventeen miles through the thick, un
derbrush, from where we landed to Kis
kinink. and it would probably have taken
us twelve days more had we not come
upon a r'iidf> who took us ten miles of
the ■Masai in the SMI half day. I be-
Jieve the delay of Hawley and Post was
<s»ie to similar hardships. Apparently,
however, they had a river to make their
r.ay along, which lightened the hard
ships. or it would likely have required
znany more days for them to have got in
1 ■ ■ i- h with the world."

DIX MY CHOICE: GAYNOR
Managers Fail to Explain Delay
in Making Story Public.
MAYOR TO ATTEND A RALLY
Will Write Speech, but Not De
liver It — McClellan Offers
Party His Services.
Just why it was that the Democratic,
campaign manager waited until this time
to make public the story that Mayor Gay
rsor h;xl recommended the nomination of
John A. Dix for Governor afwr he had
decided that he could not take the nom
ination himself was not explained yester
day.
"We haf! reasons of our own." said State
Chairman Huppuch, with a sm le.
At first reaterday Mayor Gayn#r was not
inclined to make a direct affirmation of
the. statement of Edward M. Shepard at
farnegie Hall on Tuesday night that he.
the Mayor, had dictated the nomination of
Mr. Dix. T.ater in the afternoon, however,
he said:
"Yes. Mr. Shepard was right, I recom
mended the nomination of Mr. Dlx. I was
at first In favor of the nomination of Mr.
Prepare himself, but when he was not
to be nominated I favored Mr. Dix."
James Creelman, who took the Gaynor
message to Rochester, reaching there on
Wednesday morning before the convention.
after a talk with the Mayor yesterday
afternoon, said:
'•I was authorized by Mayor Gaynor to
convey to the leader of the convention that
it was his belief that Mr. Dix would be the
strongest man to nominate, aid that it
was his wish that Mr. Dix be nominated."
Did you convey that woid to Mr.
Murphy personally?" Mr Creelman was
asked.
"I would not care to pay ■ whom I
conveyed the message." he replied, "but It
reached the party leader?"
Cree'man Went to Di<.
State chairman Huppuch said that Mr.
f'r^flinjTi on his arrival at Rochester went
to Mr. Dx and Bald:
"I am requested by Mayor Garnor to ex
tend to you his compliments and to say to
you that you are his choice for Governor
of New York State."
It wan generally reported at Rochester
that Mayor Gaynor was anxious to have
Justice Keogh. of Westchester, nominated
for Governor.
Those who were watching the develop
ments before the convention were of the
opinion that Mr. Shepard was not o\it of
the ra^e until Friday morning, the nomina
tions being made that night
When the. Mayor was first asked yester
day recrardinc the Shepard statement, he
*aid: 4 Mr. Shepard Is a man who measures
his words carefully."
The Mayor ask^d what Mr. Phepard had
paid Pomebodv replied that he had said
»hat the Mayor was indirectly responsible
for th* nomination of Mr. Dix.
"That hi not what Mr. Shepard paid." re
plied ihe Mayor. "He paid T caused the
nomination of Mr. Dix."
Chairman Huppuch would not «ay that
the message of the Mayor fras absolutely
responsible for the nomination of Mr. Dix.
"As a matter of fact." said Hip chair
ir.Eii, 'it was thirty-*ix hours after the re
ceipt of the Gaynor message before he con
sented to accept a nomination. Tn the. mean
time twelve tvparate delegation* bad called
upon him. urging that he take the nomina
tion. Mr. Phepard told him there was no
unwritten law in the Democratic organiza
tion that the st-ste chairman was not eligi
ble for any esses within tin* gad of Ms
party."
Mr. Huppuch acknowledged that he be
lieved the publication of th« statement that
Mayor liaynor had recommended the nomi
nation of Mr. Dlx would help the latter s
candidacy.
Gaynor to Attend Rally.
It was decided yesterday that Mayor
Gaynor should attend the rally at Carnegie
Hall on Wednesday night. Instead of
writing a letter, as he had. planned, he will
probably write an address, which will be
read for him, due- to the weak voice of the
Mayor sin' he was shot. It Is planned to
have the Mayor on the platform while the
address is read, however.
This is the meeting of the Independent
Business Men's League, of which Herman.
' Rldder is president, and at which John A.
Dlx will make what will prooably b« his
' only speech here this campaign. Martin
11. Glynn, former State Controller, also
will speak.
Mr Ridker, president of the Business '
j Men's League, said yesterday tha| It j
! had sent out eight thousand postal cards
] on Monday asking business men to enroll
; In the organization.
"They are just beginning to come back."
Bald Mr. Riddcr. "We have received three
i hundred. We are surprised to find thai
■ apparently more Republicans are voting
the Democratic ticket this year than ever
i tiefore. Many of those who have enrolled
tell Hi that they never before voted any
thing but the straight Republican ticket.
The irat reply we got eras from a man en
closing a check for ISaa. with the request
' that we permit him to pay all the expenses
I of our campaign."
Among those who said they were Repub
lican." but were Being to vote for Dix was
Constant A. Andrews, president of the
j Elkhorn Valley <'■•;<! and Land Company.
Among other Republicans mentioned were
Dr. S. G. Cookve. president' of the West Side
Savings Bank; Joseph Bensel, of No. 24
West Ijatk street; George 1,. Norton, editor
of The Marine Journal." and Ashley T.
Cole, said to be n eon of Ashley W. Cole,
who was Governor Morton's private secre
tary.
McClellan Offers to Speak.
Former Mayor MedeJlan visited »t«te
headquarters on Tuesday and offered 10
make a speech for the ticket. Chairman
Huppuih said that he accepted the offer
gladly, hut bad not decided where the
i former Mayor would be asked to speak.
Mr. Bidder has received ■ letter frcm
John Blgelov. the bls^rtan, enrolling in
tli* organization. He refers Mr. Ridder to
' .-? pamphlet which is about to be published
by him on the tariff. and adds
"Considerable experience, and linked
bitterness long drawn out have convinced
me that we shall never get rid of the tariff
( but by the adoption of ■ successful and
j popular substitute for revenue. You <.an

Th« stats committee last night gave «ut
a letter from George H. Carpenter, ot
Liberty. Sullivan County, who they say is
j "one of the mo.-t prominent Republican
I lawyers In that section nt the plate." Mr.
1 Carpenter is evidently Impregnated wltli
: "that king business," lor he write*: "A

LEAGUERS HIT DEMOCRATS
Prefer Roosevelt "Dictatorship"
to Murphy "Bossism."
The Independence league mass meeting
at the Yorkville Casino last night attracted
a crowd which filled the large ballroom.
The speakers included most of the party
candidates, with the exception of Mr.
Hearst.
Samuel Bell Thomas. Republican and In
dependence League candidate for Congress
in the 16th <"ongrespional District, and Vic
tor Hupo Duras, Republican ami Indepen
dence iyeagxie candidate for Congress in the
J^th District, were among the first speakers.
Dr. William Irving Sirovich, candidate for
State. Treasurer, referred to the statement
of Edward M. Shepard that Mayor Gaynor
had advocated the nomination of John A.
Dlx.
"I was surprised." he said, "to read that
'Pennsylvania Railroad' Shepard had just
found out tfcet instead of Dr." C Francis
Murphy, it was 'Professor Pick Potatoes'
Gaynor who confined the Rochester con
vention and brought forth the 'baby' Dix,
and he d-d pick a small potato."
The speaker was ridiculing the Demo
cratic State ronvention, when a man to
the audience shouted: "Hit the Saratoga
convention, too. Roosevelt needs roasting
a? much as Murphy."
Dr. Sirovich stopped to say that if he had
to make a choice between the bossshtp of
Charles F. Murphy and the dictatorship of
Theodore Roosevelt, he would unhesitating
ly enroll under Roosevelt.
Clarence J. Shearn. John J. Hopper and
Edward Miehling also spoke Mr. Shearn

Olney, who is supporting Dix for Governor.

alleged condition of treachery which ex

Oklahoma's Constitutional Amendment
Will Disfranchise Many Negroes.
Guthirie. Okla.. Oct. 28— That the "grand
father clause" constitutional amendment is
valid was decided by the State Supreme
Court 10-duy. The court held also that
the special procedure under which th«
amendment was adopted is valid, all votes
not cast against the proposition being
counted for It.
The "grandfather SaMMS" provides that
no man whose grandfather could not vote
can exercise the right of franchise. it will

STIMSON ANSWERS OIK
(nnfinnrd from Hr-t pajrr.
the night meeting. George W. Aldri.lco
and most of his lieut'ii;ints were on the
job. before, during an* ntlaf the meet
ing. It was a well organized affair and
from four thousand to five thousand per
sons attended the meeting. The audi
ence was enthusiastic especially when
Mr. Stimson promised to continue the
Hughes standards of administration and
declared for cleanness in official life.
Om» point which ho made regarding Mr.
Dlxs failure to reply to his questions
about state issues particularly caught
the crowd. He quoted Mr. Dixs sen
tence. "Passinar for the time being the
success nr failure of the Hughes admin
istration from the standpoint of the rent
payer and the, taxpayer," etc.
"He passes it by, as he Fays, for the
time being," said Mr. Stimson, "but he
never got back to it. So that I have not
found any answer to these cardinal
questions in what he said last night."
Job E. Hedges, Attorney General
O'Malley and Speaker Wadsworth got
cordial receptions. Mr. Hedges made
one of his typical humorous speeches and
brought out roars of laughter when he
pilloried Judge Parker. At various
times h*> v.as interrupted by a. couple of
men in the gallery who had imbibed to
the point where they knew they could
make better speeches than anybody else.
Job stood it for a time, but his pa
tience isn't as long as that of his name
sake. So, finally, he said:
"I judge these friends of ours up aloft
are survivals from the recent convention
jn your lovely city.'" Thereupon an
usher fell upon them, and they vanished.
Wadsworth and Merritt with Party.
Tho stimson party left Jamestown
early this morning, passing through Buf
falo and on out along the Falls Road.
Speaker Wadsworth, state committee
man for Niagara and Orleans counties;
John A. Merritt. jr.. his predecessor in
that office, and many other Republicans
of those counties boarded the Stimson
special at Buffalo. At North Tonawanda
the first meeting of the day was hHd. a
rear platform speech in which Mr. Stim
son reiterated his advocacy of the
Hughes policies and standards of admin
istration to the great appreciation of a
big throng.
The Niagara Falls meeting was a good
one, and it was a cordial audience
which filed into the theatre and listened
to Mr. Stimson as he denounced Tam
many, made his tart replies to the Dix
boomerang questions and demanded an
swers to his own queries. Mr. Stimson
was keen to get to his work. He plunged
at once into his subject, with barely a
word of introduction. He told of the
silence of Dix on the issues of the cam
paign, broken at last on matters largely
personal to himself. He continued:
H has addressed to me certain questions
on matters which are not matters of state
issue, but which represent questions en
tirely outside, or this campaign and per
sonal only to myself. Nevertheless, I am
ready to answer them, and, although I
have only received this morning, within an
hour, a copy of his speech, I propose here
to give you an answer to the questions
which he has addressed to me.
Mr. Dix lias asked me why. when I was
prosecuting the- Sugar Trust for the frauds
in the Custom House in New York— the un
derweighing frauds, the frauds connected
with the tampering of their scales— I did
not collect more than $2,134,000. He is not
satisfied with that amount. I collected
every dollar of back duties, so far as the
government experts could calculate them,
after six months' investigation, every dol
lar of back duties which the Sugar Trust
had failed to pay to the United States gov
ernment: and 1 say, in addition to that,
that I collected a judgment of $134,000 as
smart money— that is, punishment for fail
ure to pay those duties and the fraud con
nected therewith; and I would prefer to
answer Mr. Dixs criticism of the amount
that i collected by reading to you lliis
statement from the Attorney General of the
United States, who was my superior officer
at the time, In regard to that prosecution.
Quotes from Attorney General's Report.
The Attorney General, in his report of
last December, made to the President of
the United States, commented thus on the
amount of this recovery- He said:
••I believe it Is the largest individual re
covery ever secured by the government on
a claim of that nature." He said further:
••It Is but simple justice to Mr. Henry L*
Stimson thai I take this opportunity of com
mending his services to the government in
this matter, which have been distinguished
by extraordinary Intelligence, persistence,
learning an 1 address and which have re
sulted In the collection of so large an
amount and in the bringing to justice of so
many of the participants in these frauds."
And 1 ask Mr Dix now on my part,
where did he get any information which
would lead him to believe that 1 had not
collected enough when I collected that
sum. I ask him particularly whether he
pot the Information from bis political ad
visers. Alton B. Parker and John B.
Stanrhn>lo*. both of whom have acted as
attorneys for the Sugar Trust In the cases
(i, t I have prosecuted against it. l should
like an answer to that question with equal
frankness with' mine.
In the next place, he asks me why 1 didn t
prosecute the SiuTar Truat under the Sher
man anti-trust law, and prosecute its di
rectors under that law. Well, now. as a
matter of fact these are the facts of the
situation:
I was appointed federal District Attorney
on February 1, IPO>>, -?nd I took . the oath
of office at 1" o'clock in the morning of
that day. At 11 o'clock In the morning of
that day, after 1 had been in office just
one hour. I was engaged In an examination
of the evidence against Hie Sugar Trust,
under the Interstate commerce law. In re
lation to rebating. and 1 was beginning a
Feries of prosecutions against the Sugar
Trust which lasted nearly ono year from
that date without Interruption, an-1 which
resulted in the collection from the Sugar
Trust of ■ fine of $l<sS,oon, four times as
large :>:: >: - had ever been collected against
any defendant in the United States, for
rebating, up in that time. I think that
pretty fairly accounts for my time for a
year.
"Every Living Participant Punished."
! was pretty busy, and 1 was pretty busy
against the Sugar Trust. Almost imme
diately after the cessation of those prose
cutions, which resulted in a complete vic
tory over the trust and the stamping out <>f
the crime of rebating, it was discovered
that the Sugar Trust was engaged in another
kind of .-rime, cheating the government on
the docks, which was the case I first re
ferred to. That ease was not brought Into
my office until Borne months after the dis
covery of the fraud it was placed first in
the hands of another district attorney, and
ii was not until after the first trial of that
case had resulted in the defeat of the gov
ernment that the cases were transferred to
1.).. to prosecute. They came to me In Au
gust, I9M, anil they have been going on
until June if this year. They resulted not
only In the collection of that $2.134.(X!0 which
i have Just enumerated, but they have re
suited in the criminal conviction of every
living participant In the frauds, so far as
any evidence can possibly be collected to
show Buch participation.
i began with the. man lower down. b<? 7
cause It was the hands of the man lower
down t'nt worked the fraud, and that was
tiie only evidence we first had; but we
worked steadily and persistently, building
upon the structure as we _'ot it. building
upon that foundation until finally we con
victed the pecretan and treasurer of the
eompuny and the general superintendent
of its r<fii'< r > where the fraud' were, anJ
if the president of the company bad not
<]!?•: within two weeks of the discovery
well, tl".«- evidence and the record show
what might have happened to him.
Nov. th«.h»* two transactions are my best
answer a* to why I did not also prosecute
urif'fr th* Sherman law. 1 was pretty
busy, and. in the next place, and us «
flnHl answer lo whet Mr. Dlx said, I have
this to say: He calls my attention to the
fad thai Mr. Rarte the receiver of a cer
tain trust company in Philadelphia, did
himself becln .i private Mult under the

of certain sums of money by the Sugar
Trust t" Mr. Carle, the receiver and he
i..-ks me why ' didn't t ike the same evl
deiii i- which Mr Karl'- had and prosecute
tbetM under the Rr"'rmnn law. My answer
t.i Hint Is: Never during all thnt time, was
Mint testimony «>r »hat evidence brought
to m* by Mr Karle. a federal district
attorney, us you know, begins prosecutions
noon rvld*nee brought to b<m or called to
his attention, mid during that time when
I was Aiigagpil li the-^e transactions, Mr.
Earl* never came near me. I think that Is
a sufficient answer.
Says He Put Quietus on Parker.
Now, to come to his third question. 1 1«
asks me why 1 resigned as District Attor
ney and thereafter took special retainers
to complete some of the sugar work. VVeii.
that question is a little belated. •'"•'8«!
Parker asked that a short whilo ago. and i
made a full statement in the press in an
swer to it: and so far as I have been a bio
to see Judge Parker, has not uttered a cmrp
since on that subject. ■. " . . th
The facts were that when I accepted the
appointment as District Attorney I re
linquished an Income which was W per cent
greater than what I was getting ••*■•
salary of that office, and I gave up entirely
my private practice. I served the govern
ment on 40 per c*nt of my former income
for nearly three years and a half, an a^on
that Income and in that capacity I had com
pleted the cases which 1 have 01 *"1" 1 *°,
you about to-day. I had tried not only the
rebating cases against the Sugar Trust, but
I had tried and finished also the most im
portant one of the Custom House cases
against the Sugar Trust, and at the time
when I resigned and desired to go back into
private practice It would have been per
fectly possible for any successor or mine
to have taken up that work and com
pleted it. . _ -.»_
I did not leave the government, as Mr
Dix asserts, in any difficult position by
my resignation. My resignation wa* hand
ed to Mr. Taft and was accepted by him
with a letter full of the most kindly refer
ence to myself and my services; and l ac
cepted the retainer at his request and at
the request of his Attorney General at a
further sacrifice of my own an I r , l l al ( _ pr £: v
pects. I have already pointed out in the
statement to Judge Parker that during the
time when they claim I was setting these
enormous fees, the total ™ m n sa . ! 1 n >n J h l^^r
1 got from the government and all otner
sources did not amount to as much as I
was getting In private practice before I g
came District Attorney, and 1™° U ™*£*
Mr Dix to ask his advisers. Judge ***"/£
and Mr. Stanchfleld. who represented the
trust, whether. in all fairness and in all
honesty, they think I was overpaid for beat
ing them.
To Repeat Questions, Daily.
Mr. Stimson then reiterated his ques
tions to Mr. Dlx, and said he intended to
repeat them every day until election.
Over at Ix>ckport there was a noon
meeting, at which the theatre was filled.
Mr Stimson there spoke considerably
about the importance of the barge canal
v.*-k to the western part of the state.
He said that work was being carried on
in a splendid shape under State Engineer
Williams, and drew a striking contrast
of conditions in the Engineer's office
under Williams and when Tammany had
control, under Skene.
. A brief stop at Middteport gave Mr.
Stimson time to shake hands with a
group of citizens waiting at the station.
At Medina and Albion there were good
meetings. Medina raised the roof for
Attorney General O'Malley, whose native
town it was. Mr. Stimson was sched
uled to speak at Holley. but a funeral
party was at the station, and all thought
of a speech was abandoned. Instead, the
candidate shook hands with those who
crowded around him until the train
pulled away from the station. Brief
stops for speeches were made at Spen
cerport and Lockport.
George W. Aldridge and a large party
of Monroe County men boarded the
Stimson car Ht the border of Monroe
County, and accompanied Mr. Stimson to
this city. At the Hotel Rochester there
was a dinner for him and an informal
reception preceding the meeting.
Several additional meetings have been
added to to-morrow's schedule. The
Stimson expedition will leave this city
at 5:55 a. m.. going to Phoenix. Oswego,
New Haven. Mexico, PulaFki. L.acona

CHURCH PUNS TO WAIT
(nntlnur.l from flr-l ,»*««•
lv they had to come down to the propo
sition of giving up the idea of a new
building for another year, at. least, and
in the mean time they -would see how
much more business encroached on Fifth
avenue. Those who were opposed to
the present site got the resolution word
ed to read that "corporate action should
be taken to give up tho plan of building
a new church on the present site."
Harry Hubbard proposed the resolu
tion and A. S. Walker seconded it. Be
sides saying that building should be
abandoned for the present it said that
the subscribers* pledges should be re
turned to them and the money already
paid in should be returned to those who
had subscribed it. while they should be
asked to make new contributions pro
rata to make up the §20.000 already paid
out and plans for a new church should
be laid over to January 1. 1912.
Rockefeller's Share $16,000.
The proposition to subscribe pro rata
to make up the $20,000 spent means that
John D. Rockefeller will have to pay out
about $16,500 for plans that have been
abandoned. The plans were drawn by
William Welles Bosworth and were ac
cepted last fall.
Dr. Charles F. Aked, pastor of the

'Tgly rumors. Involving two coroners and
one other, have been current in the < 'rimi

TEACHER FAILS TO GET AUTO
McGowan Declares Additional
Trincipal Would Cost Less.
The request for an automobile for Her
bert 11. Todd. principal of tho Parental
School, at Flushing. Long Island, that h#
might travel from the Parental School to
its annex, the Brooklyn Truant School, a
distance of four miles, brought forth dis
cussion at the meeting of the Board of
Education yesterday, during which it was
said that automobiles were needed in school
work in Staten Island more than in any
other part of the city.
It was pointed out that the district super
intendent of Staten Island had the power
to hire automobiles and was allowed ex
penses for that use by the Board of Edu
cation. Patrick F. McGowan declared It
would cost less to appoint an additional
principal for the annex of the Parental
School than to buy an automobile for it.

the principals in charge of the public
schools for the month of September show
an increase of 13,704 pupils over th« corre
sponding month of last year and an in
crease of 6.576 half time students. The
only one of the five boroughs not to have a
greater number of half time students was
