city officials and the Police Department for the
way the investigation Of the recent riots and
the part taken in them by the police had been
conducted
Mr.. Moss prefaced his remarks by telling OF the
meeting held in Carnegie Music Hall by colored
citizens after the riots. and the formation
of the Citizens Protective League. which. he said

the request for investigation. and the answer
by the Mayor that he had referred the matter to
the Police Board He described the working of
the investigation by the Police Board. and declared
that the examination of witnesses was such as he
had seldom listened to- He said that the witnesses
questioned If they were defendants and
badgered by their 0uestioners.
Mr. Moss declared that just the opposite was the
case when policemen the witnesses. He said
that if their stories disagreed they were quietly
dismissed from the stand They were not cross
examined. The examination was suddenly closed
and when he gave notice that ne had sixty aftida-
Wits relative to the matter to offer attention

MORE BRYAN VIOLENCE.
MOB IN HAvERSTRAw THREATENS
CLARENCE LEXOw WITH PHYS
ICAL INJURY.
ICAL INJURY.

Another disgraceful attempt to break up a
Republican meeting made in Haverstraw
Thursday night. Several Bryanites tried to pre-
vent ex-senator Clarence Lexow and others
from speaking. The hall contained large audi
ence. and the first speaker was H. A Mcknight.
Almost from the beginning of Mr. Meningitis
speech Bryan men interrupted him with cat
calls and other noises. They then Missed. called
the speaker a liar and proposed three cheers
for Bryan
If you keep that up" remarked the speaker,
'you.will make more votes for Mckinley than
can. The Bryanites then yelled and made
other unpleasant sounds, but Mr. Mcknight sue
ceeded in finishing his speech. When Mr.. LexoW
began speaking the trouble started in earnest
Oaths and other language too filthy for pubica-
ton issued from the mouths of some of the
ruffans.
You're liar!" they shouted preixing the
marks with profane adjectives. Then the mob
broke loose with Kisses and catcalls, and threat
ened to throw rotten eggs and do other mischief
After pause Mr.. Lexow resumed his speech
but he was interrupted at-intervals. and a num-
Der of people who feared the riOtous spirit which
was developing left the hall The small police
force present was powerless to Subdue the riot
Gus element and finally Mr.. Lexow closed his
speech. After the meeting. he and Captain
William Dewey the Republican candidate for
Sheriff. got into their carriage about fifty Bry-
ened violence, but the carriage was gone before
their threats We're carried into effect. Several
Democrats in the audience tore off Bryan but
tons which they had been wearing and said
they would vote for Mckinley. The outrage
has been the talk of the town all day.

WILL NOT GIVE OUT FIGURES.
CROKER SAID TO BE DISCOURAGED BY
POOR REPORTS OF HIS LIETTENANTS
THE MENACE TO THE PARADE.

Richard Croker at Tammany Hall as
usual yesterday and seemed to be in good
spirits. IN every Presidential campaign for
many years the leaders have gathered at Tam
many Hall the Saturday preceding election and
given a report on their districts and these fig
ures were made public. Mr.. Croker had the
Tammany leaders at the Wigwam Thursday
and heard their reports. He announced yester-
day that no figures would be given out this
year. This was taken as an indication of the
weakness of the Tammany forces. 1t is said
that the reports from the leaders Thursday
showed such falling off that Croker decided
to keep them secret. Mr. Croker was asked if
this course not unusual. and admitted that
1t He said that this year the silent vote
was going to Bryan. and that he didn't wish to
put the Republicans on their guard in these
districts. With this somewhat ambiguous state
ment he waved aside a request for figures.
How making figures public would betray any
who intends to vote secretly for Bryan
put Republican workers on their guard does not
appear clear. The whole thing taken by
politicians TO be a weak way of evadinS adj
mission of defeat. Despite his refusal to give
figures Mr. Croker tried to be optimistic.
II said all had to say yesterday, and have
nothing to add take from what have al
ready said" said the prophet of Tammany Hail.
From letters which / have received and have
received a large number am positive that
fully 30 per cent of those who are to march in
the Sound Money parade will vote for Bryan.
One man writes me that he and number of his
fellow employees compelled to march in the
parade, but as they march past the reviewing
stand they are going to raise umbrellas bearing
them Bryan's name in large letters.
This is very bad year to make an esti-
mate" Mr.. Croker added in explaining his re-
fusal TO give out figures. Men who are en-
ployed by the trusts are afraid to say how they
viii vote, and hence it is impossible to give an
estimate New-York County is all right. how
ever and the State will go for Bryan"

Before Senator Hanna arrived speeches by
Judge Yates and others had been accorded a
mixed reception by the large crowd. When
Senator Hanna stepped upon the platform and
was introduced by Sheriff Magerstadt demon
stration ensued which, instead Of subsiding after
few moments, continued with full vigor. The
Senator waited patiently for quiet to be re-
stored but, approaching that apparently a plan
to prevent him from speaking being carried
out by groups of men and boys stationed in
the audience made the attempt any way.
The followers of Mr.. Bryan earnest
for his that they are afraid to hear

carried only short distance beyond the plat
form They do to listen to arguments
that are aimed at their candidate. continued
the Senator. 1T is certainly gratifying my
friends that am of much Importance that
the friends OF Mr.. Bryan are afraid of me-"
Finding it impossible to proceed, because of
the unceasing noise the speaker sat down upon
the table. and, as ne gazed at the audience said,
I'm il, hurry. Then above all the con-
fusion he was heard to shout: Why don't you
go over on the North Side? Bryan is over there.
