Preside Mt a Low Meeting.
New York. Oct. 9.-The most sensa-
tional event in the municipal campaign
was the action taken last night by the
Henry George campaign committee.
The Citizens Union county ticket in
New York county, the Mclaughlin
Democratic county ticket in Kings
county, the Mullen Democratic county
ticket in Richmond and the Madden
Democratic county ticket In Queens are
all to be endorsed. 1t was said that the
assembly and aldermanic and borough
tickets OF these same organizations had
also been endorsed. but this could not
be verified. The Georgeites started in
to name city ticket of their own,
and by II o'clock Charles Frederick
Adams for president Of the council was
the only man agreed upon. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will withdraw as
candidate for the court Of appeals
against Judge Alton b. Parker, the
Ae5u'ii btHOCidtiC Cdltiudte.
1t is said the conclusions reached are
the work of Tom l.. Johnson and some
of the members of the campaign COM
mittee. What the effect will be Is too
hard to forecast, bLt last night it
looked as il 1t would demoralize MIR.
Georges forces.
The United Democracy, which first
nominated George, declared. through its
leaders. that it was done with the
George movement. Secretary Stovey,
of the Democratic Alliance, was equally
outspolsn. and said his organization
would Knife George II the ticket was
forced on it. The Populists seem to
take the game View.
The campaign committee, in ex-
plantation Of their action in making the
endorsements mentioned, say that they
do not fear the threatsned DETECTION of
the United Democracy. headed by
James OBrien and the Democratic AL
lance. The United Democracy. they
say, has b"en deains with Tammany
for several days. and they are glad 10
get rid of il. They say the Alliance,
while angry Just row, will fall into line.
But whether It does or does not they
profess not to care. saying the George
movement is now SO droaly rooted that
no organization can hurt it.
The Henry George campaign COM
mittee was appointed yesterday With
Willis j. Abbott. newspaper man, as
chairman. The committee agreed to
ACCEPT the volunteered services rs
speakers Of Congressman Jerry Simp-
son "' Kansas and james G.. Mamuire
of California Louis + Post of C,eve-
land and Arthur Stevenson, the rich
single tgxer of Philadelphia. It was
also decided to accept The services Of
ten members of the Philadelphia Sin
gle TAX club.
The Seth Low campaign committee
IS arranging o great ratification meet
ing at Carnegie HALL on the nisht Of
Oct. q. Mayor Strong is expected to
preside and Joseph H. Choate will be
one Of the speakers.
Efforts arc still being made to COM
bine the Low and Tracy forces. There
efforts, however, are being made by
men who held no cite in either the
Citizens Union or tis 8 publican or
ganization, the bitterness between
whose leader. Is intense. The prospect
for compromise dos not seem to be
improving.
Former President Harrison said yes
terday on The situation:
Last year the cry in New York SEEM
to be smash Tamlnary Hail and Bry-
arism This year a great many people
are shouting, Smash Tammany Hall,
Organism and the Republican party
q hop IL
sonal sacrifice in accepting this nomina-
ton. All this talk about his being the |
creature Of hr. Plat or any other man
is foolish. General Tracy is too big
n man in national politics to be referred |
to in this way. He will do what he |
thinks right, and for the best interests |
Of this city. if he is elected mayor, and |
wish him success"
The eN-president said that he would |
be absent froM the Tracy ratification |
meeting because he did not wish to |
make n speech. lie said:
Il am not campaiener / am prac- !
ticing law now, and desire as much as |
possible TO get out of active particpa-
ton in politics. | know that il 1 attend |
he Tracy ratification meeting / would
have to make a speech, and don't
think, under the circumstances, ought
to mix up in local New YORK. politics.
Edward b. Ta!cott yesterday offered
10 bet $1,000 even that NanWyck, Tam
many candidate for mayor will he /
elected, providing Low. Tracy and !
George remain in the field. His offer
was not accepted.
Another Stock Exchange broker made
a bet Of $500 even that Low will receive
more votes than Tracy. He offered TO
get more money the same way. but
could find no takers. 1t was reported
that a number of well known Stock
Exchange brokers arc going to put up
$4,000 to bet at odds of 10 to that
he Tammany ticket will win.
