he has believed was tho great mistake Of the Church in

campaigns in the history OF the city. No less than
five candidates making the contest for the Mayor

to forecast the result. The friends Of each, In all
apparent candor, claim about the same number Oh

favorltes and each party has much confidence in its
summary Of the complicated elements which enter
into the struggle that considerable money has been
wagered each candidate.
The first candidate in the field Elmer Wash
burne, ex-Chief OF Police Of Chicago and ex-Chef OF
the United States Secret Service Bureau. He was
put in nomination prior to the holding of the regular
party conventions, ostensibly by an Independent
Citizens movement; but it is understood his chief
support primarily came from a secret organization
whose object is to minimize the influence of the
foreign elements in the city administration, and which
claims TO have $4,000 voters enrolled In It's ranks.
There are two Democratic candidates-Dcwitt c..
Cregier, the present incumbent, and Carter III. Har-
rison, who has served several terms Mayor. Some
time before the Democratic Nominating Convention
was held here Mr.. Harrison began his for the
nomination. alleging weakness and habit OF catering
TO the bad elements the part of the existing ad-
mnistaton, and promising reforms in those directions.
When the convention met, the Harrison delegates ac
cused their opponents OF fraud withdrew from the
convention and nominated their favorite. while tho
Others nominated Creger. Each claimed TO be the
regular Democratic nominee The State Central Com
mttee took the matter up and decided that Cregler

lad received the Endorsement OF the Personal Rights
League, a body made up largely Of Germans. he

STARVED IN A SHANTY.
A DESTITUTE LoNGsHoREMAS,s DEATH.
MARTIN BRAUN LIVED FOR SIX WEEKS IN q
wRETCHED HUT WITH LITTLE FOOD
HE HAD NOT FRIEND

HE HAD NOT A FRIEND.
John Mllard, a longshoreman living at No.
1,166 East ne-hundred-and- -forty-frst.st notified
Policeman O'Brcn of the mounted squad at 10 80
a. m. last Saturday that man named Martin
Braun was lying in shed attached to his house
in critical condition. Policeman OBricn i'm
mcdiately summoned the ambulance from the
Harlem Hospital. Braun was found In the shed
living across a wretched bed which took up nearly
all the space in the little apartment. His
clothing, which was the usual outfit Of long
shoreman, was ragged and dirty.
Millard said that about two weeks ago Braun
came to him and asked for lodging, and this room,
which was nothing more than a shed built against
the house, was given to him. lie had been al
lowed to stay there, little or no attention being
paid to him until Saturday, when it was noticed
that he did not come out in the morning usual
1t had been very wet and cold Friday night
and the shanty afforded imperfect protection
against the weather. Milard knocked at the
door at 10 o'clock. and. failing TO get an answer.
pushed it open, and found Braun in an almost
unconscious condition from starvation and ex'
posure.
On being taken to the hospital, he was suffi
ciently revived to say that he was born In
Austria was fifty-six years Of age. had been In
the United States three years. and that he dld
not have friend in the world. lie spoke IN
fairly good English Further than this the attend
ants could learn nothing.
Braun died Saturday at p. M. six hours after
reaching the hospital DIR. Dixon said 1t was
difficult to determine the immediate cause Of his
death, as no regular diagnosis of his case could
be made Brights disease was enc of his troubles,
but exposure and want of food were thought 70
have much to do with mis- death.
John Mlard, who first called the attention OF
the authorities to his condition, disclalms any
knowledge of the mans antecedents further than
already given. The hospital authorities notified
Milard OF i5rauns death last Saturday, but as yet
no one has responded TO the notice, and the body
is still lying at the hospital. The Coroner Will
take charge of it to-day.
Braun was little under medium size. rather
slight in build. with gray hair and full beard.
Other neighbors told the ambulance surgeon, Dr.
Dixon ir that Braun had been living in the
shed six weeks, during all of which time he has
been out of work. The neighborhood is mostly
occupied by. 'longshoremen, living in little two
story detached cottages. They form a settle
