HARD WoRR BOOMING Low.
eiEnatures Cease 90 Ceuae In, aud an Adtouyn
inent In Taken to septeunbev.

Information which THE Sun has been able to
obtain regarding efforts Of the Citizens Union
to boom Seth Low ns n non-partisan Mayoralty
candidate, indicates that the boomers are not
meeting with the success which some Of them
have claimed. The grand total of signatures
to declarations favorable to Mr.. Lows candi-
dacy was about 10000 last week. AZ has
already been stated, many Of those declarations
arc qualified by the provision that MIR. Low must
be the nominee Of the regular Republican organ
ization. Most of those 10000 signatures were
obtained by the hardest kind Of hard work on
the part Of paid canvasscrs, who secured tho
office buildings and big mercantile establish
monts pleading for signatures for Mr.. Low.
This method Of canvassinR has been abandoned
lately, as the ground seemed to have been
worked over very thoroughly, and the canvass
ers, for somo weeks, have been kept busy hunt
ing up wellto-do~ citizens to obtain their sigma
lures for Mr.. Lows candidacy prior to their de-
parture for Europe or their country summer
homes.
Despite this hard work the popular demand
,solicitcd) for Mr.. Lows candidacy for Mayor
has not attained such proportions as to DO at
all assuring to the Cts managers.
Tho organized latbr annex to the Union has
proven very disappointing. George II. Warner
and William ]. o'Brien, two of the labor men
on tho Committee Of Organization, have repu-
dated the movement. and 1t Is meeting with
little or no sympathy from organized labor in
any quarter.
This failure of tho labor annex. which was
counted on to do great things for Mr.. Lows
candidacy. has been very disappointing to the
Cit leaders. An effort will be made to stir the
labor men up in behalf Of the candidate, and
| plans are already being considered looking to q
public demonstration for Mr.. Low on Labor
Day-the first Monday in September. This
means that the Gifts have not yet secured
| enough evidence to satisfy Mr.. Low that
there is o great popular demand that he
should run for Mayor, and 1t also means that
| thoy will not attempt to nominate him In
August, IL he will consent to be nominated
| at all -
