I
Mayor Hylan, originally a silont i
support-r of tho mysterious Municipal j
Guard bill, is likely to voto the !
mear.urc*, according to information re?
ceived by The Tribune yosterday.
Powerful opposition, led by tho four
pol^e organisations, I us developed
?ii;*(i:i i*. the nipa-.ur? In tho last twenty
fonr hours, und no effort? havo been
made to conceal from the Muyor that If
ho should Blga the measure, Governor
Smith will be given excellent reasons
for vetoing the measure.
As published exclusively in The
r* of tho
Governor have told !? ?m that if tho
Mayor n\ prove? the hill, there is noth?
ing loft f"r him to do but voto it.
The ! ? ', which was jammed through
th*s Assoml ly by Speaker Thaddeus C. ;
ij-woot, ? roduced by Senutor
'. Walker, ?esterday Senator
Walker said:

Special Deputy Police Commissioner
appointed by ' ommissioner Enright.
When Senator Walker was told that
tho belief of politicians was that tho
guard was to form the nucleus of a per?
forai political ??rgani-ation, ho said:
"I don't know who was behind the
bill or anything else about it except
? it was handed to me by Colonel
Leslie, and from my knowledge of him
J can say that ho has no political am?
bitions, certainly nono to warrant the
creation of a political body of 25,000.
1 understand that he and Inspector
Jour. 1. Dwyer drafted it."
Sought to Continue Reserves
When Colonel Leslie, a lawyer with j
extensivo business interests, was asked
to throw light on tho bill ho declared
that the measure was drafted by him
alone. He admitted that he had con
*<???! Inspector Dwyer about it. In?
spector Dwyer is his immediate ni
' or in the Police Reserves, of which
Redman Wanamaker, special deputy
Police Commissioner, is in charge.
"My sole reason In drafting the bill,"
said Colonel Leslie, "was to enable
police reserves to bo continued
a-f the efficient organization it luis
proved to be. The polico reserves,
their services furnished freo to tho
municipality, here performed noble
work as an adjunct to tho Police De?
partment. Tho law of 1917, which
brought the police reserves into exist?
ence, provided for their continuance
merely dur ng the war emergency.
Colon--l Leslie insisted that there
-vas i o ii ? :.-. ?.. bo far as In.- knew, to
increase the Btrength of the proposed
Municipal Guard beyond the pr<
strength of the Police Reserves?ap?
pro ',,000. In this he is in

General Alexander Praises Men of 77th
For Conduct in ntnd Behind the Line
? Major General Robert Alexander,
commander o*" the 77th Division, last
night at the Biltmore, when- the ad
: vanee party of tho unit has headqunr
i ters, tul?! newspapermen just what he
? thought of the doughboys with whom
} ho hud waded through the Argonno
I forest.
General Alexunder is a sturdy, kind
I ly tlgure. Ilia tanned faro breaks
, quickly into tho warmest smile; his
! whole bearing shows a deairo to do
j away with military formality and "rod
| tapo" and cet down to human equa?
tions. It is easy to see why to his men
ho is both a "bearcat" and a "private's ?
general."
Praise? His Soldiers
The commanding officer of tho Lib- |
erty Division-New York's Own?had I
taken tho reporters into his confi- '
denco on the plans of the para?.e, and j
had established a general feeling of ?
equality, when ho was asked to say I
what ho thought o? tho men in thai
ranks of tho organization he com- j
manded. The grizzled campaigner of j
six wars, who had himsolf risen from
tho ranks, paused in embarrassment, j
There was a suspicious moisture In 1 i'1
eye ".huh he quickly tried to account
for by waving ?way soino imagins.?*y

"If I started to talk about this dlvl- |
sion, with all tho affection I hovo fur
it, I'd never stop," ho said slowly.
"Mind, I'm not saying they won the war
all by themsolveu, but they never wer.)
called on to do anything ?hat they did
not do, This division is mighty close
to my feelings."

Tentative Date Believed to
Have Been Chosen,but the
Weather Will Be Deciding
Factor; Planes Tuning Tip
Destroyers* Begin Patrol
First: oi' 36 Ordered to Sea
Sail, and Beach Crews
Start for Newfoundland
It was officially announced yesterday
that the date for the navy's attempt to
fly across the Atlantic with the three
*.*? ' " ?:??.- ' ,? -* j.?. - been decided upon.
It will not bo officially unnouncod until
twenty-four hours before the scheduled
hour of departure. From the best avail?
able information the date is understood
to be May 2, but the weather will bo the
determining factor.
The announcement says the route has
not yet been decided, but It was learned
on high authority yesterday that the
Navy Department hud never seriously
considered any other route than from
Newfoundland by way of the Azores.
Thirty-six destroyers under command
of Hear Admiral Charles P, Plunkett, 11
was learned, were under orders yostcr
day to proceed to their destinations
along the proposed route at midnight.
The utmost secrecy concerning the
movement and destination of those
craft was maintained, and nil rcquosts
for Information met with absolute ro
l'usai.
The supply ship Baltimore left for
Newfoundland yestordny with supplies
and pari, of the beach crew to handle
the flying bunts on thoir arrival at.
Broyla Harbor, The supply ship Aroo
BtOOk was also : ehedil led to Hllll, 'but
a leaky tank dolnycd her departure
.she will sail at in o'clock this morn?
ing, Three destroyers the Gamble,
Pooto and llnrnoy sailed yesterday.
Battlcshipi-i t? Patrol Course
It wai ulso learned thai tho battle
?-?..hips Utah, Texas, Arkansas, Wyom?
ing and Florida will patrol tho courso
of the flying beats. The time ?if thoir
departure, however, is being withheld.
Commander John II. Towers took
over active command of the "N. C. sea?
plane Division 1" yesterday. From ob?
servation at the naval air station at
Rockaway there is no doubt about th<*
preparations for thi? flight across the
Atlantic being in their final stage.
Owing to tne storm of Thursday nnd
yesterday then* was no flying with the
NC-3. This was chiefly due to the fact
that the runway liad become silted with
sand. As a result the opportunity was
Beized to put the Btarboard engine in
good shnpo. It was found tho trouble
lay in the carburetor and a new one
was installed. The ship will fly to-day.
The NC-4 is in tho final stago of
completion and should bo ready for her
lirst flight by Monday. Tho wings of
the NC 2 aro already on tho NC 1, and
that ship should also be ready for
flight early next week. There is a
possibility that all throe ships may fly
together for tho first timo Monday.
The NC-2, her experimental work com?
pleted, lies wingless and forgotten in
the corner of tho NC hangar.
To Keep Hontes Seeret
Commander Towers said yesterday
the routes of tho three flyin*g boats
would not be announced until they
had reached their destinations.
Enough is known of tho navy's plans,
however, ti> predict that the lirvu leg
of the flight will be fi m Rockaway to
Broylo Harbor, N". F.
The NC-3 was equipped with Olm
Btead propellers yesterday. These will
bo tested out in flight, to-day. Four
petty officers and twelve sailors of tho
beach crew packed up their kit and
loft for the New York Navy Yard yes
terday, where they will embark for
Newfoundland. This makes a total of
forty-eight officers and men who have
already left the station for this pur
pose, Twelve more will leave to-day.

the fact that a largo percrr.tr.go of the

fended by lieutenants indicated any
serious infringement of the rights of
