NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The Citizens
Union today issued a statement which
contained the remarkable charge, that
the Republican organization has sent
out orders to it's members to shout for
Tracy and vote for Van Wyck." This
report was confirmed by prominent
member of Tammany, who stated that
Van Wyck expects to get about $4,000
Republican votes; that Plat and Tam
many will stop at nothing Is also shown
by the fact, established by reports
from many districts, Of the repeated
but Intellectual efforts made by both
machines to buy off Citizens Union
workers and local candidates, by
the false statements which have been
given to the press Of OBJECTIONS among
district chairmen."
Gen. Arson G. McCook made the fol-
lowing statement today: Ever since
the great Republican meeting last
week at Carnegie hall the growth of
the sentiment in favor of Mr.. Low has
been steadily increasing. My original
estimate, made ten days ago, that he
would get at least so per cent Of the
Republican vote Of New York county
and at least 60 per cent of the same
vote of Kings county, has been chang
ed by the improved conditions. I be-
lieve that it is a conservative estimate
to say that in this county 65 per cent
of the Republican vote will be cast for
Mr.. Low and rs per cent of the Re
publican vote in the county of Kings"
Seth Low invaded the BoWery to-
night, speaking to several hundred la
hnf,i11 IL oh IN
the Thalia theater. He was very warm
ly aplauded. His speech was brief-a
plea for local elf-government and the
reinforcement of Plat and Croker.
Rev. Edward McGlynn, whose advo-
cacy of Henry Georges theories
brought him in conflict with Archbish-
op Corrigan in 1886, is a frequent Wis
itor at the George headquarters. While
there today. Dr. McGlynn said that
there was no clash between the Cath
Ollie church and Henry Georges theO-
ries.
AS was to be expected, the bicycle
has appeared as a factor in the cam
paign. Theodore B. Willis, at present
commissioner of works of the city Of
Brooklyn, is candidate for the office
of registrar of the borough of Brook
Ign. In his interest there is published
a statement of the street improvements
made in the years of Mr. Willis incum-
bency Of the cOmmissionership and the
amount of money-a very large sum
expended therefor. The statement con-
cludes with an eXhortation to bicy-
clists to vote for who has done so much
for their convenience and pleasure.
Following a long caucus of Republi-
can district leaders today, President
Quigg, Of the Republican, gave out a
statement, in part as follows:
Repeated canvases show that Tracy's
strength is growing, and that Lows support
which has never been large, becomes smaller
every day. There are only two assembly dis
tricts in New York city in which Mr.. Low
will have any substantial Republican support.
These are the Twenty and Twenty
ninth. In those districts, they being the dis
tricts out of which practically the whole of
the Low vote will be drawn, the net effect of
Mr.. Lows candidacy will be to increase the
majorities Of the Republican party over Van
Wyck Lows vote will be smaller than Van
Wyck's in each district. We shall carry New
York for Tracy by just about the plurality
over Van Wyck which was obtained by Gov.
Black last year over Porter.
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles today an
nounced that he would vote for Gen.
Tracy and the whole Republican
ticket.
J. Kennedy Tod, treasurer of the Cit
liens union, has issued a statement
to the public saying that further con-
fund are not needed. The statement
says: The peoples response to the
appeal of the Citizens union for con-
tributions to Its campaign fund has
been so numerous and generous that
the treasury now contains all the
money which can be legitimately ex-
pended between now and lection day.
No candidate on the Citizens union
ticket has contributed directly or in
tn ha
have contributions of corporations
been solicited or accepted"
Cooper Union was never before the
scene of such a strange political meet
ing as that which took place there this
afternoon. The majority of those at
the meeting were women. and women
from Murray hill and Riverside drive
and West End avenue at that. The
women were adherents of the Women S
municipal league which advocates the
election of Seth Low, and the meeting
they got up was designed to show what
they could do in a political way, even
if they did not have votes. Each Wo-
man was supplied with bannerette on
which was the word Low" the flags
were waved when the women wished
to applaud. The men who came in for
Kisses were principally Croker and
Plat. There were a few Kisses and
good deal of applause for George, but
more for Low. Among those who or
gained the meeting were Mrs. Felix
Adler, Mrs. Morris K. Jessup, Mrs J.
Kennedy Tod, Mrs w H. Schiefflin
and Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,.
When the women and their male
friends filled the hall the doors were
closed and an overflow meeting took
place outside. Unlike the meetings of
men, the proceedings were begun
promptly on time. Col. George E. War
ing, the street cleaning commissioner,
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Mayor Strong as chairman. May
or Strong said he was a dyed-in- the
wool Republican and had always voted
the Republican ticket, but it was be-
cause he loved the Republican party
that he proposed to vote against the
Republican ticket, clean out the Au-
gean stables and place that party on a
firm foundation.
The mayor then introduced James C.
Carter. The women waved their ban
nerettes and applauded the mayor lib
orally during his speech. They also
cheered Mr.. Carter as he proceeded to
state to them what they should do to
elect their candidate.
