MITCH EL SIDE CONFIDENT
Buckner Says Tide Is Rising
Hourly in Favor of
the Mayor.
New Vork city's most blttfr municipal
eamralEti will oIom this week with ch
Mi firing Its havltt nmmunltlon In a
final drive for victory at the poll No
vamber 8. neraiue of the fact that the
Ikuo of Americanism hae been Injected J
Into the campaign there Is keen Interest ,
even outside the city In the fight. I
As th candidates sweep Into the
srtretch the political Jifdges agree that
the Socialist entry, MorrU IIMquit. will
be a closo runner up for Major Mltchel ,
nd John P. Hylan, tha Tammany candi
date. Whllo only tho wild eyed haiard
the prediction that Mr. Hlllqult may
come under the wire first. It Is a political I
fact that his vote may be an alMecldlng i
(actor In the result. I
According to the opinion pamerea
from the various leaders and from other
sources In clo?e touch with the situation,
the fight han renolvcd Itself Into n nerk
and neck rontrst between Judge Hjlun
and Mayor Mttrhf I. Mr. Hlllqult's vote,
which haa been variously estimated at
from 100.000 to 175,000. may awing the
lection either way. The Mltchel lead
ra insistently claim that the great In
crease In the Socialist vote will come
largely from tho Democratic party.
Bennett's Campaign Cramblea.
The candidacy of William M. Bennett,
the Republican nominee, Is steadily be
coming weaker and there W plentiful evi
dence that the antagonism toward Mr.
Mltchel by certain factions of tha Re
publican party Is dlppearlng as It
becomes more and more evident that a
vote for Mr. Bennett means a vote for
Judge Hylan. It has also been drummed
Into the Intelligence of the Republican
voters that the more votes Mltchel loses
to Bennett the greater will be the ben
ant to the Socialist candidate. This
angle Is advanced on the ground that
should Mr. Mltchel's vote be seriously
cut Into by Mr. Bennett the thousand of
votes taken from the Democratic candi
date and the votes taken from the Re
publican party by Mr. Hlllqult may be
sufficient to elect the Socialist nominee.
Facing this remarkable condition the
managers of the Democratic and Fusion
campaigns will do everything possible
during the remaining week to discredit
tha candidacy of Mr. HlllnutU The
Democrata began their drive at Mr.
Hlllqult two weeks ago nnd have con
tinued It It haa been notlcetblc, how
sver, that the Fuslonlsts have not taken
much notice of the Socialist peril on the
theory that the stronger Mr. Hlllqult
became the weaker grew the Tammany
candidate. But Mr. Hlllqult's strength,
aa shown by straw polls and other In
dications, 1iaa been steadily growing and
the Mltchel leaders believe that the time
haa arrived to attack Hlllqult In the
hope of swinging baclt to the Fusion
causa the votes ho has temporarily won
from that side of the fight.
Intlmntlon of Bombs.
The Mltchel campaign will b the big
feature of the closing week of tho bat
tle. (Jreat mass meetings nnd torch
light parades and tho participation of
Theodore Roosevelt, Pharles E. Hughes
nd other men of national prominence
nrlll make thins hum all week. In ad
dition there are strong Intimations at
Fusion headquarters thut several
"bombs" aie to be dropped Into the
anemy camp during the week that will
demoralise the opposition.
The campaign managers, of course,
continue to predict victory for their
respective tickets. Janx-s II MacBrldv,
the Democratic nianage.r. asnerte.1 last
night that Judge Hylan "will win by
at least 150,000." Hut Mr. MacBrlde
! about the only Democratic chlfftatn
who mentions such flrures, the other
leaders being content with between 30,
000 and 10,000.

"Mr. Hlllqult has been Headlly gain

It la lmposlble to eniniato his total
vote, but It will be large. 1c Is now
at tho top of his vote, however, and a
recession has already begun and will
continue during tho next week. This
recession Is almost entlrelj' due to his
attacks upon the national Administra
tion and Its war policy and to his de.
flant refuHil to buy a Liberty bond nnd
support American boys who are In tho
trenches.
Tharles Kdward Russell, William
English Walling. J. O. Phelps Stokes
and other Socialists have given their
fellow Socialists a shock In pointing nut
that Hlllqult's hanrpering the Govern
ment will prolong the war and will ren
der victory for democracy still more
difficult. For this reason Mr. Hlllqult will
receive fewer votes on November 6 than
ho would receive to-day.
Mltchel Tide Itlari.
"The, tide for Mltchel, which begsfl last
week and Is rising hourly, has been due
to an abhorienee of placing the Mur-
ihy-Hearjft-Hylnti svnrtlcntn In control of
ths city, but Is even mora to be ac
counted for by Hlllqult's frank copper
headlsm and by the submerged copper
headlsm of one wing of Dylan's sup
porters. "The heavy registration 700,000
shows that there will be a very Urge
silent, unorganized vote, and this vole
will largely go to Mltchel.
"Will the loyal purchaser of a single
Liberty bond vole for HlllqultV Will the
loyal purchaser of a Liberty bond vote

scorns and repudiates sub-surface Teu

landslide. With the election only one
week away he may win with n landslide,
or may win In a hot finish, alt depending
upon the extent to which the voter be
come Informed of the real currents and
cross-currents In this most extraordinary
campaign."
The Hlllqult managers give no figures,
but confidently assert that Mr. Hlllqult
will be elected. It may be said also that
tha Hlllqult campaign Is llng con
duct on a most efficient basis and that
his Ptrength haa been orranlied through

foclallMs Attark lllllqnlt.
Mr. Hlllqult was bitterly attacked yes
terday by a number of prominent 'So
cialists, who characterized his attitude
on the war as pro-Qerman. One of the
men who thus described the Socialist
nominee ws William O. Thompson, for
many years arbitrator for the garment
worker In their Industrial disputes.
"It U the duty of eery man who
loves hs country to support Ma or
Mltchel on election ,day," cald Mr.
Thompson last night. ".Mr. Hlllqult Is
a pra-Oerman and always has beei, and
he knows It. He is antl-Amerlcan, and
his refusal to buy u Liberty bond, al
though he Is a wealthy man. Is but n
evidence of the feeling In his heart,
which Is against America, the land of
hU adoption, which haj given him shel
ter and a fortune.
"flut this Is not his only sin. Not
satisfied with his own apostasy, he seeks
to lead others Into the German camp to
become traitors to America. This he is
endeavoring to bring about by a sly and
subtle play cn Vac' as though ho were

DISLOYAL SUPPORT

Man by 'Stants-ZcKung.'
HILLQUIT ATTACKS
CAPITALIST CLASS
Tells Crowds His Election
Would He Mandate for
Peace Parley.
Flatly smcrtlng that the Tammany
candidate for Mayor Is supported by the
disloyal element. Major Mltchel said
last nlsht that If the government of
New Vork city is to be kept safe for
the nation John F. Hylan must be de-
! feated.
i The Mayor continued his attack on
William R. Hearst and again Inquired'
tho reasons behind Mr. Hearst's support
of Judgo Ilylan. Mr. Mltchel also
pointed out that the Staala-Zeitung Is
editorially supporting Judge Hylan.
"What has Hylan done ftr the SfonM
Zcitung, for Hearst or for Pavenstedt
that the Utants-Zrltung should now ask
Its leaders to vote for Judge Hylan?"
Inquired the Mayor.
"I hao asked, with meaning and with
rtei'P significance, whit Judge Hylan has
ever done to secure the support of Will
iam Randolph Hearst." says a stntement
Issued by Mr, Mltchel. "I have asked
Mr. Hearst this question sad I hava
asked Judge Hylan. Thus far both havo
j declined to make any answer.
Ask" About "Jtns-7.eltans."
'"With the samo meaning and the
rame significance, I now ask Judge
Hylan and the Bidders what Judge
Hylan has ever done to secure the sup
port of the Stan Sf-Ze Hung.
"In an editorial on October 23, under
the caption, 'Vote for Hylan.' tilt Staata
Zeitung declared: 'Hi who wants a
change In the city administration ought
to vote for Judge Hylan so thit he wilt
tecelve an overwhelming number of
votes.'
"It Is not enough to say that the
btaat$-Zritunp Is a Democratic news
paper. Tho pertinent and significant
fact at this time, and with our nation at
war, in that the Stnata-Zritung had on
Its directorate Adolph I'avenstedt, the

" " " 1 1 " ' -- ........ w
Ztitunp to urge Ita readers to support
Judge Hylan unless It believed that his
election would bo friendly to "German
Interests snd German ideas and all that.'
"I now ask the Bidders and Judgo
Hylan to make public what Judge Hylan
has ever done to prove his willingness
to cooperate with them In the German
cause?
"When the editorial which urged tho j
readers of the Staati-Zcitung to support
Judge Hylan was written, what assur
ances did the Ridders give Mr. I'aven
stedt, or what assurance did Mr. Paven-1
stedt give the Ridders thnt Judge Ilylan
was the sort of man that tho Stoats
ZeUung should support?
"In 1914 Dr. Dernberg contributed
$15,000 to the ?fnaf,-ZHtiM(7. In 101?
Mr. Murphy's representatives on the
Board of Election contributed a like
amount to the paper in which Dr. Dern
berg was thus Interested.
"Mr. Hearst's parers shared In the .
allotment of the Murphy election adver
tising. The Amcri-an nnd tho Journal
received the same amount that was,
given to the .Sfant-Ze(tui;.
"This Is not the only point of slml
Urltj", however, between tho Rldder j
papers and Mr. Hearst's papers. Mr. I
I'avenstedt, through whom tho Dern- j
burg money was transmitted to the i
Ptnatt-y.rttun?!. was Bolo Pasha's ns-,
slstant In the L'nlted States. Mr. Hearst I
was entertained by Bolo Pasha.
"The Rldder paper nnd the Hearst
papers have still a third point of agree
ment and that Is that John F. Hylan
should be elected Major of New York
city.
"Again, and j-et again, I nsk what has
Judge Hylan cer done t.i earn the sup
port of the apcr which Mr. Pavenstedt
declared had always followed 'a very
good courso for tho German Interests
here"?
"What has Judge Hylan done to tarn
the substantial gratitude of Mr. Ilearft?

ment attacking the Maj'or's administra

duction of assessments on tho property
of n number of wealthy New York men

The reductions, according to the state
ment, which was prepared and given out
at Democratic headquarters, have been
made during the Mayor's administration,
moat of them In the past two years, and :
the beneficiaries arc frlenite of the
Mayor. Judgo Hylan docs not state,
and It was admitted that no attempt was I
mado to find out, whether the reductions
were made, voluntarily by the Tax Hoard i
or were the result of court proceedings
Instituted by those assessed.
The total reductions shown amount to
i:!,310,SOO, which raved the fifteen men
and corporations named the total sum
of JCOO.000 In taxes. Among tho reduc
tions mentioned are the following:
New York Central Railroad. $4,05?,

It was stated by an official of the

of theso reductions were made as a
result of a court order secured by the
owner. A detailed reply to Mr. Hylan'a
statement will be forthcoming to-day.
One of the fuulon leaders last night
pointed out that this charge of Judge
Hvlan merely emphasises the Judge's
qualifications to spak on governmental
matters.
"Judge Hylan. among other things,"
said he. "has been reycaled as the part
owner of a correspondence school for
oratory. Ue took a course In this school
and has exhibit d Its value by falling
to make one speech during the campaign.
One of his other great accomplishments

The Knights of Columbus need for immediate use in establishing and maintaining
war recreation centres at home and overseas THREE MILLION DOLLARS, of which sum
One Million Dollars has already been contributed principally by their members.
Both the Y. M. C. A. and the K. of C. furnish recreation centres for all, regardless of
creed. The religious needs of non-Catholics in the'eamps are supplied by the Y. M. C. A.;
those of Catholics, comprising about forty per cent of the men in the service, by the K. of C.
The buildings will be open to all at all times: no private meetings; no society affairs
behind closed doors.
They are for all the soldiers all the time.
The Knights of Columbus must render this help overseas as well as at home, and in addi
tion Pope Benedict has asked them to help support the American Red Cross in special
work.
The only expense in connection with this fund is the publication of this advertisement
and an office" in Washington. No paid agents; no commissions. The general administration
will be under the officers and clerical staff of the Knights of Columbus and not charged against
this fund. Their bonded officers now responsiblefor Eight Millions Insurance Funds will
handle all money.
Books will be open for inspection at all times and a complete public account rendered
of all receipts and expenditures.

G. V. Electric Trucks
Are Right at Home About the Big Markets
"Where traffic is thickest, G. V.'s are quickest."
The G. V. Electric is always easily handled, no matter how great the con
gestion, and makes better time than either horse trucks or gas trucks in the
market districts.
The George F. Fish Company have three G. V. Electrics, 9, 7 and 3 years
in use, respectively. They transfer and deliver celery, and the oldest truck,
a big 3 j-tonner, often works 18 hours per day.
Acker, Merrall & Condit have, among other G. V.'s, a 3 H-ton truck
which hauls from the markets to hotels and express depots. R. C. Williams
Co. have 12 Electrics; Park & Tilford several, and among other G. V. users
whose trucks frequent the big markets are A. SU, poultry and game; Roeth
lisberger 8c Co., cheese; W. H. Mapes 8b Co., John Blumers & Bros., and
G. V.'s belonging to all the big local provisioners.
The G. V. Electric is free from gas fumes and horse odors, something meat,
fruit, and produce men should keep in mind. As to its efficiency and
economy, ask G. V. users or note the progressive firms who are constantly
adding to their G. V. fleets.
At leant send for catalog and data on G. V. Electrics used in your line of
business.
