replied:
Il wont say whether shall or shall not. I
don't think you will hear mo making many
campaign speeches. i won't attack the ticket

Gen A j. Warnor's remarks were equally
ambiguous He said:
In tho campaign Mclean will 60 as far as
his money will carry him Mayor Jones will
90 as far as his principles will carry him. That
is all that can DO predicted now about the cam
paign."
When the news OF his nomination was tele-

Tho dog tried this trick for the fourth timo

took hold OF the dog. The dog likewise took
hold OF his forefnger. The two reached the

the Italian that he now had hydrophobln and

CoLER FOR CITY-BUILT TUNNEL
Tho Comptroller Thinks New York Can Build
and Own an Underground system.

Tho Comptroller Thinks New York Can Build
and Own an Underground System.
Comptroller Coler. who has contended over
since he took Office that the city should build
and own an underground rapid transit road
from the Battery to Harlem, said yesterday
that he would begin to aEtate the subject as
soon as the members OF the Rapid Transit
Commission return from their summer vaca-
tons Mr.. Coler believes that it is perfectly
feasible for tho city to build the tunnel In sec
tons, doing the work under separate contracts
for about SlO00O.o0o each year. so that the
cost OF tho entire tunnel shall not become
a contract indebtedness at ono timo. Mr.
Coler says that the city Ia now So. 900. 900 in
side the debt limit. He is confident that the
constitutional amendment separating the coun-
ty debt OF S30.OO0.000 from the city debt will
bo adopted by the people this fall. The income
from the sinking funds amounts to S13. 900. 900
a year. This. he says, will give a bonding
capacity OF S63.OOOOQO for next year. Mr..
Colrr believes that any necessary additions TO
the water supply system may be built. work
may be begun on the tunnel. the projected
bridges over the East River constructed. and
any other necessary work done without en-
dangernG the debt limit
Aside from its value as means Of com
muncatIon from one part Of the city to an
other Mr.. Coler believes that the city would
derive great revenue from the sale OF con-
duit privileges TO corporations He also be =
lieves that the city might build a telephone
system, using the pipe galleries in the tunnel
to carry the wires. 1t is Mr.. Colers idea that
the tunnel in Manhattan should be connected
with the proposed East River tunnel thus
benefltting BROOKLYN directly as well as ind-
recty. He thinks that the tunnel would be-
come one OF the most valuable assets OF the
