I'pon Alleged Attempt to

By a Staff Correspondent of Taa Sen Uto
New Toik Hbuud.
MrLWAUKEB, Sept 4. Gov. Cox car
rld his League of Nations fight Into
tils hostile Republican State to-day,
featuring a series of eight addresses
with the flat charge that Will H.
Hays "perpetrated a deliberate false
hood when he said under oath that
there were no quotas" for the collec
t.on of a Republican campaign fund.
M the same time he added zest to the
Statewide primary campaign, which
virtually came to an end to-night for
the elections on Tuesday, but appar
ently made little headway In further
ing the Democratic cause against the
odds.
The chief speech of the day was at
the Wisconsin State Fair, where, due !
partly to poor arrangements and partly
to the fact that the address was long. ;
Gov. Cox was compelled to cut short '
his talk In tho face of continuous In- !
terrupUons from the crowd. He had !
spoktn, however, for fifty minutes, and !
the disturbance came from sections of
the large grandstands where the voice
ef the nominee could not be beard.
There were more than 23.000 persons
in the stands, and they were Impa

WASHINGTON, Sept 4. They
have a new name for Gov.
Cox in the Far West. A promi
nent politician who blew in from
the Pacific coast to-day said that
since the failure of the Demo
cratic Presidential nominee to
prove his loudly proclaimed
charge that "sinister influences"
were trying to purchase the
Presidency for Senator Harding
the popular nickname for Gov.
Cox in that section is "False

A one comer of the main grand stand. :
capable of holding 10,000 persons, but
his voice failed to carry to more than

persons In the other grand stands. He 1
made the mistake of going into detailed
arguments at length, and so when he j
had progressed for bomethlng like forty
minutes a far-off portion of the crowd I
(tailed to applaud and cheer. Gov.
Cox called to them.
Paid to See the Animals.
Tm sorry," said he, "that you can-
not hear, but you can read the speech
in the Milwaukee newspapers In the
morning."
Then the same thing happened in an
cther grand stand, to be repeated in the I
first. The uproar continued for ten ;
minute. and finally Gov. Cox stopped
peaking. The crowd was mixed, com
posed rMctly of young men, women and!
children who had paid to see the animal
show and automobile racing. There!
was no political significance attached to
the Incident.
Gov. Cox's charge of falsehood against
Chairman Hays followed the presenta
tion of what the Democratic nominee
declared was further evidence of tho
existence of quotas. Mr. Cox said:
"You fay there was no quotas assigned
anywhere, and yet in the official bulletin
of August 16 telegrams are quoted stat
' k that 'Stark county, Ohio, has com
pleted quota,' 'Cincinnati business men
have underwritten quota,' "Steubenvllle,
Ohio, has nearly completed quota,'
Toledo actively soliciting to complete
quota by August IS," 'The State of Maine
has oversubscribed Its quota 95,000,'
''hattanooga oversubscribed Its quota
this week.' 'Large quotas assigned to
Twelfth Indiana Congressional district,'
Northern counties In Colorado have
practically raised their quotas.'
Cites Ipaasn's Statement.
"Vow. coming more concretely to the
Question of responsibility, you deny any
knowledge of quotas, and yet Fred H.
' pham, treasurer of the Republican Na
tional Committee, in the official bulletin
ot August 18 says that:
" 'Amounts sought In each community
were a part of the campaign of general
mbscrlption as originally Initiated by'
w'll H. Hays and carried through by
the treasurer's office.'
"1 charge," Got. Cox continued, "that
''')! I U. Hays perpetrated a deliberate
laLvhoofl when he said under oath that
there w..re no quotas."
To his audience to-night Gov. Cox
amplified his charge against Mr. Hays.
The Governor read in an "official bul
letin" a statement by Treasurer Upham
'hat Mr. Hays "Intimated" the Repub
lloan financial plana. If Mr. Upham
misrepresented Mr. Hays, Gov. Cox said,
'he Republican chairman should dls

Cox that perjury was committed dur

from Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the
National Committee, to-day, who con
tradicted the Democratic nominee
flatly.
"I'd be the biggest kind of a fool in
the world." he said, "to falsify my
testimony. I'd ruin my reputation as
a man and as a business man.
"I know and appreciate absolutely
the nature of an oath, and I'm the

That went to the Congressional Com
mittee. We have no other collection
agencies."
Georgia's Financial Quota.
Mr. Upham then referred to Ota Georgia
financial quota mentioned by EL H.
Moore, the Governor's representative,
who arrived here for the Inquiry, and to
C. W. Mcdure. the man mentioned a
having raised 125,000 In Atlanta before
the convention started.
"Mr. McClure was very active early In
the year," he said. "He even went so
far as to subscribe $1,000 to the cam
paign fund, of which he has paid $200
to date.
"At one time we received a telegram
stating that he had underwritten the en
tire quota of the State $25,000. He re
ported a number of subscriptions which
he had raised toward that quota. Then
he started to make Inquiries aa to the
patronage he was expected to receive
and was told the ways and means com
mittee had nothing to do with that"
Mr. Upham searched through a Ale of
Georgia letters.
"Here," be said, "read this."
MeClare'a Letter Produced.
Under date of August 7 Mr. McClure
wrote :
To be candid with you. It Is go
ing to be a very difficult Job to
do anything more under the con
ditions. If we could have some
understanding with Mr. Harding
or the National Committee in re
gard to patronage, or some of It
at least, in regard to a possible
reorganisation down here, there
might be a chance to do something
further toward raising money. Un
der present conditions there Is
hardly a chance.
"There has been contributed." Mr.
Upham resumed, "both before and after
the convention from that State a total
of $6.377.75. So you can see what the
rledges and the underwriting of the
quota amounted to."
The National Committee members, he
added, were prepared to testify as to
the pre-conventlon financing when the
Investigation at the Federal Building
began.
"I appeared with all the documents
and data," Mr. Upham asserted. "I waa
ready to present anything the Senators
asked for. But you'll remember Senator
Reed himself said : 'We won't concern
ourselves with anything earlier than
June 14, Mr. Treasurer.'"
Mr. Upham also said he had ample
proof to submit to the National Com
mittee that the form 101 quoted by Mr.
Cox never was Issued and never has
been used In the campaign.

m mm
London, Sept 4. The industrial situ
ation In Milan has become graver, and
no steps have bean taken to evacuate
factories occupied by the workers In
Turin, according to home despatches to
the Exchange Telegraph.
The strikers have placed machine guns
on the roofs of several factories la
Milan and have organised a workers'
militia to resist Intervention by Govern
ment troops, the despatches say.
The striking Italian metal workers,
who have taken possession of the work
shops. Have been Informed that the em
ployees will pay them no wages this
week, says a Central News despatch
from Roma The leaders of the strikers
have Issued a manifesto urging the
workers to remain In the shops fo-mor-row
In order to prevent the authorities
from taking possession of them.
Four days ago workers seised fac
tories In a number of Italian cities and
assumed complete control. Red flags
nRVe been conspicuously displayed.
Thus far the Government has taken no
action. Industrial unrest in Italy has
been growing.
The thirty-eight officers and men
who were rescued from the submerged
United States submarine S-5 after
Chief Engineer Grace of the steam
ship Gen. George W. Goethals had
cut holes In her plates with a hand
drill were landed at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard last night shortly before
midnight from the destroyer Blddle,
to which vessel they had been trans
ferred during the afternoon from the
battleship Ohio. Despatches from
Philadelphia said that all of the men
were still suffering from their experi
ence, but that only three were In the
destroyer's sick bay. These are Joseph
O. Savage of Eleco, Pa.; Jacob Akers
of Warnecllff, W. Vs., and Robert Ig
danes, Manila, P. I. All of the men
were sent to naval hospitals for treat
ment The remainder of the submarine's crew
trooped down the gangplank of the Bld
dle In high spirits, showing signs of
their experiences but raising their voices
in a typically naval interpretation of
"How Dry I Ami" The men were un
willing to discuss their own experiences,
but they were more than willing to talk
about the bravery and coo li ess of the
commander of the submarine, Lieuten
ant Commander Charles M. Cooke, Jr.
They declared unanimously that he
was the greatest and bravest man in the
whole of the United State Navy, and
in order that there should be no mistake
about their feelings they signed a round
robtn and forwarded it to President
Wilson by wireless, setting forth this
opinion and asking that they be sent
back to the S-S aa soon as she haa been
salvaged and that they be under the
command of Cooke, and that If Cooke
cannot command the 8-5 again that he
be given another submarine and that
they be allowed to compose his crew.
Commander Also Praised Crew.
The sailors did not know It but at the
same time they were sending their round
robin of praise to the President, Com
mander Cooke was sending the President
a petition praising the bravery of the
men and asking him to take steps to
reward them for their heroism and cool
ness In the face of what seemed to be
almost certain death.
The delay of the Ohio and the Blddle
In reaching port Is accounted for by
the fact that the Ohio has been towing
the submarine, a slow and arduous
task that compelled the battleship to
reduce her speed to three miles, an
hour. Twice during Friday night,
according to official reports, the cables
broke and the submarine sank again.
After much hard work the vessel waa
raised, new chains were attached and
towing was resumed. Despatches from
the Philadelphia Navy Yard late yes
terday afternoon, however, said the
Ohio had wirelessed that towing the
boat had proved to be an Impracticable
task and that the submarine would be
buoyed and the Ohio would proceed
to port without her. Later navy re
pair ships will be sent to salvage the
submarine if possible.
The Navy Department authorities In
Washington received last, night an.of
clai report of the accident from the
commander of the destroyer Beaver,
which Is standing by the Ohio and. will
accompany the battleship Into port.
The Beaver's commander reported to
the Navy Department that the accident
occurred at 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, when the submarine undertook a
quick dive for exercise, in naval parlance
e "crash dive." A large Intake valve
failed to close when the boat went down
and some of the compartments began to
till with water. The crew managed to
expel some of the water, when the stern
of the submarine began to rise until the
boat rested with her nose on the bottom
of the sea and the stern Inclining at an
ingle of about sixty degrees.
Worked la Foal Air.
The fact" that the stern waa out of
the water, which they soon discovered,
gave the men a ray of hope, but their
troubles were made Infinitely worse by
the subsequent discovery that the stor
age batteries had been flooded and chlo
rine gas formed and released. This Is
the gas that was sent over by the
Germans In their original cloud gas
attacks against the Canadians, anl has
a terrible choking and cutting effect
on the throat and lungs. Only a Uttls
of It Is required to cause death.
The Imprisoned men had to work in
darkness In a terribly hot and foul at
mosphere laden with deadly gas fumes
tor almost forty-eight hours. Cam
mander Cooke set a man to work try
ing to drill a small hole In the steel
plates of the vessel's stem, but the con- j
Ultlons were so terrible that one man !
could work but two minutes and prog
ress was slow. There was no fresh air
in the boat and no way of getting any.
The supply ot oxygen soon began to be
depleted, and It was only a few hours
before the men were bleeding from the
nose and mouth and suffering from
dullness and nausea. .
Lord Mayor Still Conscious,
but Unable to Talk to'
Belativea.
' London, Sept . The reasons why
the Government will not release Lord
Mayor MaoSwIney of Cork are given
in an official statement Issued to-day.
Tf.ey are that,fresb attempts would be
made to "continue with added activity
the long series of murders of police
men" and "would open the way for
any person imprisoned for any sim
ilar offense to use the cast of the Lord
Mayor as a precedent with good hopes
of securing release and the opportu
nity to repeat the acts which led to
his Incarceration."
The statement continues: "Unless the
object of the Lord Mayor and his associ
ates Is to secure the secession of Ireland
In which case no compromise between
them and the British Government Is pos
sible the sufferings of the Lord Mayor,
together with the whole campaign con
ducted by him and his associates of vio
lent usurpation of the machinery of the
Government of Ireland are entirely un
necessary." It Is pointed out that "the Govern
ment has not only presented to Parlia
ment a measure conferring on Ireland
a degree of self determination in ad
vance of any scheme proposed or ac
uapted toy the elected re"?saBteUves a

has declared explicitly his willingness
to discuss with any body which can
claim to represent Irish opinion any
proposals they put forward, so long as
those proposals Include separate treat.

secession of Ireland from the United
Kingdom, or risk the security of these
Islands In time of war."
The condition of MacSwiney was
described to-night as critical. He was
In the last stage ot weakness and un
able to talk to relatives, but was con
scious and his will power still waa
strong. His wlfa left him at 7 o'clock
this evening, apparently deeply anxious.
Mrs. MacSwiney and the Lord Mayor's
sister, Mary, to-day called at the Amer
ican, French, Spanish, Italian and Bel
gian embassies to ask them to make ur
gent representations to their govern
ments. None of the ambassadors was

sister, on leaving Brixton Jail at 1:30
o'clock this afternoon, said her brother
was at his very lowest Acting on the
doctor's advice, she did not attempt to

Boston. Sept 4. James T. Morlarty,
President of the City Council, as acting
Mayor of the city to-day sent to Premier
Lloyd George the following cablegram
regarding the hunger strike of Lord
Mayor MacSwiney of Cork:
"Overwhelming sentiment of the cltlsens
of Boston Is that Mayor MacSwlney's
death would be a crime against civilisa
tion and repudiation of every principle
for which great world war was fought"
The Loyal Coalition, actively opposed
to 81nn Fein, announced to-day that It
had sent a cablegram to Lloyd George
asking him to Ignore a message from
Mayor Hylan of New York urging the
release of MacSwiney. The society as
serted that the Mayor did not represent
any considerable body of cltlsens.

Wartime restrictions were reestab

Line around Pier 00, foot of West
Nineteenth street, for the railing ot
the Baltic. As a result there waa no
repetition ot disturbances that marked
the departure of the vessel on her last j
eastward trip, when Archbishop Man
nlx was a passenger bound for Ire
land. The expected demonstration by
Sinn Fein sympathizers did not ma
terialise. Fifteen reserves from the West
Twentieth street police station kept
everybody on the far side of Eleventh
avenue and allowed only persons show
ing steamship tickets to cross the
street At the main entrance to the
pier the voyagers were confronted by
officials of the line, who scrutinised
every Ucket No other persona were
admitted except reporters and a few
personal friends of Sir Thomas Upton,
vrho said he was returning home to
make ready for another yacht cup

when sailing time came. The ship, never,
theless, started downstream, halted off
the Statue of Liberty and a tugboat put
out from the Battery with seventy-five
Bremen, stokers and the like to take the
place of the "vacationists." The vessel
then proceeded.
Paste Posters on the Baltic.
The pause In the upper bay gave the
Irish women pteketers, who have been
trying to keep the strike spark burning
all week, a chance to make a demonstra
tion, which the police arrangements up
town prevented. Four young women,
who gave their names as the Misses M
Catherine Murphy. Mary Steele, Helen
Men-lam and Catherine Garland, who
said they belonged to the Mannlx-Mao
Swlney marine protest committee, put
frrth In a launch and went alongside the
Baltic. While British sympathisers In
the crew threatened to throw bottles and
other objects and while the passengers
looked on in amusement or Indignation
the girls pasted to the vessel's side two
posters with six Inch letters worded aa
follows:
"The steamship Baltic may be
scrapped any time. Her day's work Is
done. She Is an outcast She Is dirty.
Up Mannlx. up MacSwiney 1 Down
tyranny!"
One poster the women placed at the
bow and the other amidships. Then
they returned to the Battery in triumph.
So anxious were the company officials
to get the Baltic off on time In defiance
to the strikers that the gangplank was
taken in a few minutes before noon, the
scheduled sailing time, and as a result
there were left on board several loccal
officials, reporters and friends of Sir
Thomas Llpton. And on the pier as
the vessel swung downstream there
rushed thirty of the eabln passengers,
who had raced from Grand Central
Terminal In tax tea be. They had been
on a train from Western points and had
been delayed. Company officials mar
shalled them on the pierhead and put
them aboard the tug Downer, which
hurried after the Baltic.
Violence again marked tb strike of
the moving van men in attacks made
yesterday afternoon upon nonunion
drivers and helpers In three different
parts of the city. Bands of strikers
numbering fully 200 blocked the path
of. trucks, pulled the drivers from
their seats and In some instances at
tempted to beat them up. Tho at
tacks were made with complete dis
regard for the orders Issued by union
executives and iu spite of the an
nouncement of these officials. In com

is as good as won bo far as Inde
pendent employers are concerned.
With respect to the three employ
ers' associations, the unions stated,
the situation remains at deadlock, not
Is there any indication of willingness
to compromise on either aide.
The fights started by the van men
were tbe first that had occurred in
twenty-four hours. Fifty pickets lined
the street at Seventh avenue and Fifty
eighth street and Inqutred of truck
drivers where they were going. A truck
owned by A. Schults of East Rutherford,
N. J., laden with household goods, was
halted and then driven off down a side
street by one of the strikers, while
others attacked tbs driver and his
helpers, who had been pulled down
There was more. rough work at Seventh

Amsterdam avenue and 14Id street At
143d street two New Jersey truck drivers
were allowed to drive on when they said
they were employed by a union trucking
company in Newark, but they were
warned not to bring trucks over to New
York while the strike lasted.
Five hundred non-union men Joined
the strike yesterday and affiliated them
selves with the union or van drivers,
bringing the total number of strikers up
to 2,200. William F. Kehoe, business
agent for the union, said that a com

B. R. T. Train 25 Minutes
'THE tantalizing aroma of fry
ing bacon and eggs was
wafted into the cars of a Brigh
ton Beach elevated train just be
fore it reached the Prospect Park
station yesterday morning. A
husky cop guarding one of the
train platforms stuck his nose in
the air and sniffed appreciatively.
When the train reached the
station the policeman informed
the strikebreaker riding with
him that he had had nothing to
eat, but that he was going to
remedy the oversight at once.
The strikebreaker insisted that
he would not continue at work
without the policeman and the
officer than made an impassioned
address to the passengers.
"I'm darned near starved to
death," he said. "You'll have to
wait until I come back."
The cop disappeared and the
train crew held up the train for
twenty-five minutes. When he
had not returned by that timo
they shifted the passengers into
the first two cars of the train,
switched one car on a side track
and the train went on its way
