the last few hours of the Friday drive.
Both promised to buy the maximum of
II, 000 worth of War Savings Stamps be

graphed every one of his district lead

School Children .pIt.
Tn The Bronx public school children
collected pledges averaging over 2,500
for each school. During the last few
1 ours of the drive fifty-two Bronx mov

more. In Queens the postmen left a
pledge card at every house along their
mutes, making It possible for 92 per

SOCIALISTS RAISE
FUND TO AID I. W. W.
Hillquil Espouses Cause of
Men on Trial in Federal
Court in Chicago.
Delegates to the two day convention
of the New York State Socialist party
used most of the opening Brlon yes
terday In praising, defending and sym
pathizing with theL-W. W. and wippod
the demonstration by contributing $205
to aid In the defence of International
Workers of the World who are being
tried for espionage In the United States
Court In Chicago.
"We can depend upon the I. W. W.
and millions of others to support us
at the next election," said Otto Bran
stetter, inembct of the Socialist National
Committee. "They realize the Import
ance of this political party. The whole
future of socialism depends upon our
campaign this year and that campaign
must be made In all Congressional dis
tricts." Mr. Branstctter's Job is to raise a cam
paign fund or $1,000,000 to carry the
gospel of Socialism Into every part of
the country.
Morris Hlllquit. who wns made tem
porary chairman of the convention, told
the assembled "comrades" that when he
was In Chicago he made It hln business
to attend the trial of the International
Workers of the World.
In his address to the delegates he said
that as .far as ne cuulJ see they were of
a good type of Intelligent workmen
charged with n violation of the espion
age act. It struck him, he said, that
they were under court-martial by a tri
umphant and strongly entrenched capi
talist class, and that alt Socialists soon
will recognize that capitalism Itself Is
on trial and not the members of tho
I. W. W.
More than 300 delegates from all parts
of the State attended the opening ses
sions of the convention nnd many of
them made personal contributions to the
fund to aid the accused members of the
I W. W.
Mr. Brnnstetter made the most Im
portant address of the day and fre
quently called the attention of the dele
gatei tn the $1,000,000 campaign fund.
He declared that the Socialists lost their
opportunity to send a United States
Senator to Washington last election and
added that this should not be allowed to
happen again.
He described the vote In Vy'lsconsln as
a protest against war nnf once more
mentioneil that $1,000,000 campaign
fund, explaining that Socialists would
be expected to make many sacrifices In
order to make it possible.
"You know Democrats and Republi
cans at your same work benches are
contributing until it hurts to a cause
from which you are considered exempt,
and now It Is your turn," he said.
The report of the party's State com
mittee showed an Increase In the num
ber of subscribing members of about
2,000 and that the State organisation is
better off financially than It was a year
ago. Tile report explained that the
membership woudl have been larger If
It were not for the fact that it is dan
gerous In these times to avow one's con
nection with the Socialist party.
Ihe State committee said it regarded
tho suffrage victory in New York State
as n Socialist victory.
State Secretary U. Solomon, who read
the report, said that as a result of the
heavy Socialist vote In 1917 the Tost
Office Department has been trying to
suppress Socialist newspapers by depriv
ing them of second class mailing rights.
Mr. Hlllquit prophesied a big Socialist
vote this year, particularly among Ihe
negroes. The State platform will bo
drawn to-day and nominees for the com
ing election will be chosen.

and Other Features Add to
Enjoyment of .Event.
After three years nf endeavor and
disappointment and the surmounting of
many obstacles tho gates of the New
York International Kxposltlon of
Science, Arts and Industries In The
Bronx, were thrown open to the pub
lic yesterday and during the afternoon
n dedicatory celebration' took place In
the centre or the grounds. Many or the
buildings are unfinished and the ex
hibits which were to form the real back
bone of the industrial show Are not
yet In place.
Several thousand persons gathered to
witness the opening exerces, which
started with a parade about the grounds
nf r.aval nnd military organizations led
by the Seventh Regiment Band. Tho
Junior Naval Reserve, headed by Will
iam Kelley, commander of the Confed
erate Veterans' lst, hail the place of
honor In line. Other commands that
drew marked attention were tho Wom
en's Motor Corps of America nnd a de
tachment from the National Women's
Army.
This last named company was com
manded by Col. Ncta J. Boardman, re
cently appointed by Inspect- John F.
Dwyer to serve as Colonel of the Mili
tary Women's rollcc Resencs of New
York.
Following the Invocation by the Rev.
Cieorge M. Klsbree. pastor of the Van

It was run off nnd afforded a deal of
amusement, there bMng n novelty race,
Roman riding, mounted basktball and
other equestrian features. A concert by
the Seventh Regiment Band also en
livened the evening.
The exposition grounds comprise
twenty-eight ncres nnd may be reached
from the Kast 177th street subway sta
tion. It borders the Bronx River south
of Kast Trenvint avenue and is on the
old William Waldorf Astor estate.
There will be no less than seventy
buildings on the grounds when the ex
hibition is completed, but now there are
only a dozen buildings and a number of
concessions Including n restaurant, n
roller coaster, a centrifugal swing and
a nonsense house.
The opening was planned for last year
but the war put n dent In the plans, and
the date was set for May, 1918. Kvcn
then It was found nocossary to postpone
it a month.
CARPATHORUSSIANS
PLEAD TO HELP U. S.
Protest Against Being Classed
as Enemy Aliens.
Three hundred or moro Cnrpatho
Russlans packed the Aldermanlc cham
ber In City Hall last night to pledge
their support to the United States In Its
fight ngalnst autocracy. The Carpatho
Russians are natives of that portion of
tho Carpathian Mountain region which
for the last 000 years has been under
Austro-Hungarlan domination. Tech
nically they arc clnssinrd as cnemy
allens, but their meeting was a protest
against this classification.
"We are not Austrlans, we nre good
Americans." said (i. V. Kunashcw-sky, a
banker of this city, who voiced the sen
timents of the men and women In the
hall. "Our denrest wish Is that vn be
jiermllted to help the United States in
this war ngalnst oppression."
Jllr. Kunasheweky announced that a
convention of Slavs Is to be held In
Philadelphia next week to draw up reso
lutions requesting the Oovrnment to per
mit them to organize a Slavonic legion
to tight for the United States against
tho Central Umpires.
Another speaker was Mrs. A. Chapln,
wife of nn ofllccr In the American avia
tion service, who is raising ti fund ninong
tho Carpatlio-Russlans with which to
purchase art airplane for presentation
to tho Government. At thn conclusion
of the meeting a collection was taken
till to swell this fund.
Mrs. Chapln, Mr. Kunashewsky, WN
s?. CherniaK and the Kev. Ingram .
Irvine, the representative of Bishop
Alexander of the North American Kccle
siastlcal Consistory, comprise a, central
oommltteo formed to crystallize wnti

Ihe opponent, of the third term with the
Idea of forcliT the selection of James
M. Beck, Hobk'rt Bncsn or James R,
Sheffield, fornw president of the Re

by thote who srt'd they knew what they
were talking abtt.it.
Lewis Says' He Will StteU.
Attnrney-Onner Lewis acknowledged
thai he had heaift this story, but said
most emphatically 'that he had entered
the rnce to stay itind that he would
stick to the end. ,
Friends of Gov. Whitman only
laughed when It was, suggested that he
might withdraw. Thv said It was too
absurd to dignify wltlS a dental.
"In the unlikely cv.,U that the Gov
ernor should withdraw; would you con
sent to get out of tli race In favor
of a compromise, candidate?" the Attorney-General
was nsl4d.
"By no means," ha ssr,l emphatically.
"That would bo a confession of defeat
on tho part of the Gornor and nil
the more reason why I (should stay In
the race."
It was reported that another con
ference was held In the 74iwyers Club
on Friday In the Interests of the fore
going plan. Among those present was
Job 1J, Hedges, who ran ftr Governor
in 1912
of constituting an official voting body
within the "town meeting" they will offer
n resolution for the calling of an un
ofllclal convention on July lti as orig
inally suggested. This call would pro
vide for the election of delegates In the
name mntiner as tho call for the conven
tion In the spring of 1916 that Is, they
would be chosen by the Assembly dis
trict committees except where n, direct
primary method or elctlon should be
demanded by petition of at least J per
cent, of the enro'.lcd Republicans of a
district.
There appears to be no question that
such n resolution can he passed, but It
Is nlo little less certain that Its Intro
duction would he the signal for the op
ponents of tho Governor to cut loose and
sny what they really think about his
desire to have a third term. Ex-Senator
Harvey D. Hlntnan of lllnghamton,
whose bitterness against the Governor
dates back to the time when he fought
with him for the Gubernatorial nomina
tion In 1914, was prepared yesterday to
say n few things about the way In which
tho State's Chief Kxecutlvn has man
aged to acquire rontrol of the organiza
tion. The occasion did not nrlse. hut
Mr. Hlnman, who has the proxy of
Walker F. Sherwood or Broome county,
Is remaining over until to-morrow nnd
he expects to tie right up In the rront
row at the Republican Club.
It Is rafn to say that Senator Sage
has some remarks he would like to make
and that .Senator Robinson has not gone
to the trouble to get a proxy or the pur
posn of simply watching the proceedings.
William Barnes of Albany will be back
In the rlty to-morrow, and his advice
can probably be obtained, if It Is sought
by the mitl-Whltman force-).
Incidentally it Is worth noting that
Senator Robinson's proxy comes from
Representative Reuben I.. Haskell or the
It Is understood that tho a nll-Wh'.t
man men have suggested tit Senators , Twenty-third district, Kings, who up to
Wadsworth nr.d Calder that tra-y would yesterday had not declared himself In
opposition to Gov, unman.
Not In many years has there been such
a Inrgely attended meeting of the State
committee. Only eleven of tho 150 As
sembly districts were unrepresented
cither by Its committeeman or a iiroxy.
Thero were few proxies.' of which a
majority were presented by men who
actually lived In the districts repre
sented. John A. Stewart, who has been
cooieratlng with Senators Wadsworth and
Colder In the call for the "town meet
ing." held the proxy from Livingston
county, thn home of Senator Wadsworth.
William A. Orr. the Governor' secre
tary, held seeral proxies.
It was remarked that only oncn be
fore in twenty years had all four vet
erans of , the committee been absent from
a meeting of the State committee. Will
iam Barnes was kept away by the death
be satisfied If the voting delqrat'es In
the "tpwn meetlnir" should be selected
on a representative basis by a Joint
committee appointed by them nnd the
State committee. Such delegatm, they
declare, would bo free from the control
of the Assembly district organizations,
a majority of which arc friendly to
the Governor.
Proposed Plan la Denounce!.
The Whitman men say that an. ut
tempt to select delegates by suji a
method would probably end In Jess,
rather than more, harmony They de
clare It Is absurd tn promulgate a (Uni
form for tho Republican party of the
State except through delegates selected
by the duly constituted party reprcMen
tatives in the various districts.
If, as seems probable, the Whltmtin
lenders refuse to agree to this method
of his brother, William I.. Ward of
Westchester was called nwny on busi
ness, and It was explained that George
W, Aldrldge of Monroe and Francis
Hendricks of Onondaga were kept at
home by 111 health.
The one meeting, that all had missed
before was n special one called to ratify
the proposed new StatcConstltutlon, when
only a handful of committeemen re
sponded in lersnn. Ortine county, the
home of ex-Governor Odell, did not an
swer the roll call. Neither did Rockland
nor Putnam.
Kings Cnnnty lllleinrss Shown.
The bitterness In the organization In
Kings county wan revealed when Robert
Welwood, who said he represented the
First Assembly district, asked that his
name be called. It seems that Jacob A.
l.lvlntrston, chairman of the executive
committee In Kings, had not Included
him In the lint.
"Does Mr. Welwood live In the First
district:" asked Mr. Livingston.
The answer was that he did.
"Don't you live in the Kleventh dis
trict?" persisted the Lewis leader.
"No." replied (Mr. Welwood faintly.
Ills vote may bo challenged on Mon
day. Chairman Glynn opened the me?tlng
by stating the women had enrolled so
heavily In th? Republican party that
when the figures were all In It would
he shown that the part enrollment
would exceed that of the Democrats by
100,000 or more.
"Some of the members of this com
mittee." K-ild the chairman, "suggested
that wo take the initiative and that Sec
retary Gleasnn oml myself ronsult with
tlm two Senators In regard to the meet
ing at Saratoga, tn see If Mini merger
or reconciliation of dates could not he
reached In the best Interest of the party,
for the humiliation of no one and to
Insure good results on election day. We
left them with tho understanding that
wo would recommend a further confer
ence to-morrow, when both Senators w 111
bo here."
Saur Sren Desire for Harmony.
Senator Sase In seconding the rcsolu
tlon for a conference committee nnd a
rccesa said :
"I was In the northwestern part of
the Sta'e. where we were considering
the subject of the fcehlf minded, when
1 was called back. When I lead Thurs. '
day niorniiiK'M papers came to the
conclusion 1 had chained my place but
not my occupation. There seems to be
a desire on all sides for party harmony.
"I think this meeting to-ilay will be
of great benefit to tho party, and of
ttlll greater benefit wilt be the mretlnf
nt Saratoga later. 1 believe things nro
shaylng up ro wo can proceed together
against the common enemy."
A recess was then taken lo to-morrow
morning. Some of the committeemen
said they could not stay over, but they.,
were careful to leave their proxies.
The following new members of the
committee were elected to flit vacancies
caused by deaths or restnations:
Orvlllo Drum to succeed Sanford W.

his activity In calling the attention of
prominent Republicans throughout tho

"I have sufficient evidence," he Is
writing, "to satisfy myself nnd my asso
