In the thront racking, band playing, Mag waving uproar that marked the progress of Oov. Glynn's, cam paign special train from Manhattan In the early morning to Troy to-night tho Governor found tlmn between speeches In ten towns, to-day to read tho iU(Stlon asked by his opponent, Mr, Whitman, Inst night. The question whs: "Gov. Glynn, do ou n prove of Itensel?" The Governor In his speech to a crowd that chocked Harmony Hall hero to-night brushed nslde for tbn time being the speech hn had prepartd and waded Into the question of .Mr, llensel, "In a. speech last night," Gov. Glynn bewnn abruptly, "Mr. Whitman attacked me for pot exeiclslng my powers of lead ership to keep from public office one of the candidates on the Democratic ticket nnd denounced my policy In rgard to the State Highway Department. At the Very outset 1 want to say to Mr. Whit man that Instead of retorting In the same manner that he has mloptcd In Ida onnvajis 1 wish to treat Mr. Whitman with the courtesy nnd respect due to n candi date for the highest ofilee within the lft of the people of New York. Lender. Not n lluss. "My power ns a leader Is the power of a leader and not of a boss. I do not arrogate to myself the power to select candidates for ofllce or to discard the men whom a majority of the voters of my party desire to tepresvnt them. "The. question to bo decided by the voters of this -State this full Is not the propriety of Mr. Hetisel's actions In a particular proceeding In a particular county, but It Is whether or not my ad ministration of the affairs of eleven mill Ion people merits my continuance In of fice. "Mr. Whitman ns a lawyer knows that Mr. llensel Is n constitutional otllcer, that he wnn elected by the people us I was nnd that Mr. llensel Is not ns much an swerable to me for his actions as Mr. Whitman himself Is. Why does Mr. Whit man attempt to blind the public to this fact? If Mr Whitman knows of any thing wrung that Mr llensel has done his course Is obvious, "In Justice to the people of New York 1 nsk Mr. Whitman to discuss the Impor tant and statewide questions which should properly be passed upon by the people Instead of nttemptlng to distract the public, by matters with which under tht State Constitution I have no con cern." Illi'iiur lllglmnya. Oov. Glynn then took up the adminis tration of State highways, saying that Inasmuch ns Mr. Whitman bad "raised the Issue" tho speaker would nvet If gladly with the statement that since Mr. Glynn had become Governor "more miles of good roads have been built than In any other year In the history of the State, nnd the breath of srnndal has not touched a single mile of those roads. "I must confess that 1 have disap pointed the sensation mongers by devot ing more attention to the actual building of good roads than to muckraking and abuse. Investigations I have made of, the pad history In thu Highways Depart ment have been made without the blare of trumpets or the beat of drums. "Kvery Instance of past wrongdoing that has been brought to my attention by my own Investigator or bv nny other nian has been turned over to tho Dis trict Attorneys of the various counties for their nrtlon. In the majority of casts these District Attorneys have been lie publicans. "I do not believe that Justice has tuen slighted by these olllrlnl. It me ask If Mr. Whitman does "I nm and have always been anxious to protect the public against fraud, but 1 believe that this ran be done without destroying Innocent reputations nnd with out attempting to make tho people believe that representative government Is a fail ure In New York." ilinke in Ten TnHin. Fiom Tarrytown at the south In the morning to Troy at nightfall Gov. Glynn spoke to enthusiastic crowds at ten towns, all on the east bank of the Hudson Hlver and stretching through live counties Westchester, I'utnam, Dutchess. Colum bia, where ho wns lorn, nnd flnully Ilensselaer. The west bank of the Hudson, down which tlie Governor's special train courses to-morrow to Manhattan, will have to show Its best If It wants to rival In en thusiasm the outbursts or Its east oanit neighbors of to-day. Cert'llnly It Is ask ing too much up the west bank to-morrow to surpass or even qual the glittering glories of the uniforms of tho brass bands blazing In cloth of gold at every place the special came to u stop and some places wlmte It Just breezed by. To greet the Governor and the other speaker, who accompanied him throughout the run. Thomas H. Iickwood, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, thete were crowds nt railway stations of the larger towns, knots of pmple at the tiny village platforms and from end to end of the run the brass crashed and the trumpets brayed, sometimes, nlns. with more en thusiasm than art; ll.igs Muttered and there were whoops and yells In quantity sulllclent to gladden the heart of any can didate. He outlined for (he crowds at Tarry town Osslnlng, I'eeksklll. Cold Spring.

Ite lens Ills Work, Ilrlelly he look up his successful efforts for direct primaries, Ills land bank bill, his stoppage of direct taxation, his cut ting of the expenses of the State M.GOO, 000. compared to the amount expended In the last year of Guv. Hughes's admtnls trat'im, and spending 110,000,000 less than his predecessor. Up-State of course shows more Interest In Ills land bank bill and w anled to know more about It than Manhattan or llrooklyn audiences. In tho towns of each of the five counties he spoke In Gov. Glynn always gave mortgage Mg ures for that particular county. At Tarrytown, for Instance, he said of the land bnnk act : "We have mortgage" on the farms of tills State of 111,0(10,000. Westchester county Is pretty prosperous nnd your farmers down hero nre pretty prosperous people. The value of tho products of the farms In Westchester country every yenr Is 12.672.000 and yet there are mortgages on farmi In Wos'rhestcr county of 11,818, 960 ajid the new land bank will savo for the farmers who have those mortgnges on their farms a sum If over HOO.OOO every ten years, and when you save Mon.oon for the farmers of this county who have mortgages on tholr farms don't forget that J mi save a good part for the people In the city who have to buy the products that come oft of these mortgaged farms, IN T0U1 OK TUX CITIKS In ten months the Democratic party of this State, under my leadership, has done what the United States Government hal talked nbout doing In the nation." Workmen's Act l'lipnlnr. Hut always the cheers were lustiest when he came to his workmen's compen sation net. Crowds that Jammed railroad plntforms nnd roadbeds and In the Inrger towns filled seats, platforms and standing room areas In theatre, nnd halls clapped and elled loudest at the Governor's mere mention of this bit of legislation. Almost nil of his final speech III Troy to-night and at least half of his speeches along the route were given over to the workings of this measure. And through out the trip Gov Glynn, despite the fact that 'he Inw Is only three months old. gave names j,i.l addresses of men, women and children si their own towns who have been helped b t u measure. Mayor Klske of Mount Vernon hoarded tho train nt the G-nnd Central S-ation In the morning with Gov. Glynn. Mr. le'ck wood and executive auditor S, .1. CJulnn.

Ho said tho fact Ie Incontestable thnt the Governor's economies and cutting out the city's sharo In the direct State tax wilt result In kieplng the city tax rate for this year 9.1 I points lower than It would otherwise hnvo bis-n. "Whatever his mistakes may or may not have been his record of real achieve ment throws the balance heavily In his favor," said Mr. McAneuy. "To the people of the State the sort of management tlw State finances have had during the past year ot moro means n very great deal. The exact amount of the city's share In a saving of 111,000,000 would be 17.11 9.000. Alt of this would have, gone Into tba budget wo nro now asking for 1916, and the exact Increase In the tax rate would have been 9,14 points. To put It briefly, we owe to the Governor's work the saving of nn extra dollar on every thousand of valuation. "I nm satlslled that so far ns may lie within his power tho same sort of work will go on. I nm satisfied too that his purpose to respect the home rule rights of the city, of which ho has given strlk Ing evidence.

Glynn Democratic Stnte Chair man Osborn said "It Ie admirable nnd In ovory way satisfactory. It Is the climax of a series of Incidents which show the attitude of the Washington Administration. It will have a satisfactory effect on the Glynn campaign." Mr Osborn wns nsked what he thought of Mr. Wliltman'e attack on State Kn glneer John A. llensel. lie replied "llurnt powder.

Following Mayor Mltchcl'n lead mem bers of the city administration are saying n good word for Gov Glynn nt every op portunity. In a letter to Francis Lyiidn fimson i. orporation counsel Frank L.

Wallace, president of the Central Trust Company, has eent this note to luS Governor 'Tour record for efficiency nnd econ omy as Comptroller and Utivcrnor of the State Is such that I write to tell you that you will have nil the support In the coming election that I can give." The President's letter to Gov. Glynn ranted Itepubllcan Stnte Chairman Fred Tanner to say last night "As a general thing whenever the na tional Administration takes a hand In State affaire when there Is no national election the result Is the same It Is a fclgn of panic and Is resented by the voters of the Stnte, who object to outside Interference," GLYNN REPLIES TO POLICE Iti-fuscs to MuUe He lew Promise, ns Whitman lllil. Gov. Glynn sent this reply yesterday to William II.

"I shall be glad to see you and the officers: whom you represent nt any time." Charles S, Whitman In reply to the same questions a few days ago said he would not countenance depriving the pollen of their right to a court review. LABOR PARTY FOR GLYNN.

Whitman spoke to moderately enthusiastic audiences In five halls In the upper Wewt'Slde last night. ICarly In the evening he bad spent n few minutes with tho Whltmnn College Men's League, nt 18 Knst I'orty-llrst street. He had de voted the lunch hour yesterday to tho Kepubllcnn Club, at Sixteenth street and 1 Iron il way. His speeches Inst night were nn attack on what he ratted the extravagance of Gov. Glynn's administration. He said In part : "Gov. Glynn's claims to economy nre easily shown to bo unsound, Heal econ omy lu State affairs Is not In denying ap propriations to complete necessary build ings, to make necessary additions to the I great Institutions which the people of the 1 State have authorized and which nre , necessary for their continued health, en lightenment and progress, but economy j ought to consist In abolishing useless ' place-s.

These Investigations huve cost tho State comethlng like IHOO.OOO. It cannot be said to have been the fault of the Invtstlgators that this money was wasted, for these Investigations did show a gigantic conspiracy of bribery mid graft throughout the departments of the Statu government. We have thu authority of thu Democratic Investigators for this. The fault wus on the part or those whose duty It was under the law to see to It that the laws were enforced, and that was riot done. dinners KrrpliiK ot Dishonest. "No' attempt was made to replace the officials shown by thu Democratic Inves tigators to be dishonest and corrupt with honest successors. No effort was made to chnnge the plan of department admin istration which permitted the whole State government to bo honeycombed with fa orltlsm nnd giaft and which permitted s indbiiugltig of contractors who, In many Instances, wished to serve the State us honestly nnd etllclriitly ns they would any other employer. "And with all the Investigations and all the revelations the remarksble thing that stands out Is that although the ltepubllcaim had held the State fur six teen years no fraud committed durlig that period has been shown, but only the Incompetence and the crime of the Demo, emtio administration. "What good were the Investigations which uncovered tho trails of graft when Gov. Glynn, directed by the Constitution so to do, failed to follow them and per sistently refusul to allow otheis to fol low them?" At his noonday meeting Mr. Whltimn said : ' "Gov. Glynn promises to abolish useless boards and bureaus with which the State abounds. He has been at the head of the State for a year and not one of these boards or bureaus has been nbollshed. Now, I nm not going to call anybody a crook or a liar, but is It rea sonable to expect that If no changes have been, made In this respect thus far theie will be any made In the future by Gov.

Boisterous en thuslnsm marked the passage In the House to-day of a resolution repealing the resolution adopted some weeks ngo "dock ing" the pay of members who absented j themselves from Washington without au thority. It was a great day In the House, nnd to-night scores of members packed their luggage and started for homo to make an accounting to their constituencies, Leader Underwood was applauded when he rose In the House to-day. livery mem ber had been apprised of what was going to happen arid nearly nil were present to take part. Mr, I'nderwood began by say ing that the "docking" resolution wus passed to maintain a quorum in Wash ington, but now that the House had vir tually concluded Its labors for the session there was no reason why members should not go homo without fear of pecuniary penalization. Mr. Underwood said that next week the House would need a quorum to put through the war revenue bill as It came from the Senate, but he thought that the necessary number of membt rs could be brought back from nearby States. Representatives from I'aclflc roast and far Western States applauded this senti ment Mr. Underwood made it plain that he did not expect that consideration would be given to any Important legislation ex cept the war revenue bill In tho remaining days of the session. This brought Hepresentntlvr Henry of Texas to his feet Mr, Henry wants legis lation for the relief nf the cotton States. He nsked Leader I'nderwood when he' thought Congress would be ready to ad-!

This seemed to satisfy Mr, Henry, who evidently believed he nnd his sympathizers would thus have sufllelent time In which to force consider ation of the cotton relief bill Tho measure repealing the "docking" resolution was then passed with a whoop. Members are now at liberty to go home without apprehension thnt the sergeant-nt-arms will mnke deductions from their pay cheeks. HENNESSY BACKERS GET ON GLYNN BAND WAGON McpI nt PemorrnUp Cluli nnd Decide They Cnn Vote for ! Governor. John A. Ilennessy and some twenty comrades In his recent campaign came to an agreement nt the National Democratic Club Inst night, the effect of -which is that any anti-Murphy Democrat who wants to vote for Gov. Glynn may do so without prejudice, but that the light against Murphy Is to be resumed with vigor after election day The dinner which they attended at the club was given by Gustavus A. Kogers nnd Others In honor of Stuart G. Gib loney. who represented Secretary of tho Treason McAdoo In Inspiring and mnn aging the Ilcnnehriy primary contest. .Mr. Itegers, nsked If nnybody had suggested that Gov Glynn be Indorsed, said. 'That subject did not come up.' Mr lingers outlined the purposes of the gathering In this wnv "One of the objects Is to give notice that the light ngalnd Murphy and hts leadership has not terminated, and how ever we vote as regular Democrats, It Is and will be upon the clear understand ing that It Is nut to be construed as an acceptance of Murphy's leadership In cither the State or the county. Our de votion Is and will be to tho leadership of Woodrow Wilson and tho high Ideals for which he stnnds.
