Ure TO have him for of the speakers at the

smother the Controllers popularity. He was asked
to speak at the recent Hill meeting but on account
OF previous engagements to speak up the State
with Mr.. Stanchfeld ne unable TO comply.
Not having any such engagements now he was,
nevertheless, asked to speak last night and the
reason given that arrangements for the meet
ing were made while he was up the State. 1t is as
serted by of the Controllers friends that the
Democratic leaders in Kings County afraid to
have him speak now, and wish eliminate him
as far as possible. 1t is said that he could not
speak at the Hill meeting without disappointing
the men up the State who had supported him at
Saratoga. 1t is also alleged that there a pre-
arranged plan TO compel him to break his engage
ments IN the upper counties Of the State, and that
the Kings County leaders wanted to put him in an
embarrassing position.
It was ascertained yesterday afternoon that Con-
troller COer had received neither tickets nor IN
vitation to attend the meeting. Asked whether he
was going TO speak al the Academy last evening
he replied that he not going to speak because
ne had not been invited

said the Controller. "he asked me whether l would
speak with him IN Brooklyn. l replied that l would

TO ORGANIZE AGAINST VICE.

While much good is expected to out of the
crusade against vice which Bishop Potter and his
supporters preparing to begin in the district
east Of the Bowery. several we'll informed men in
the district have said that the vice there cannot
be driven out unless there is organization for
continued work 1t is not alone that the police
shall be compelled to cease protecting vice, these
say. There must be organized effort that
shall not cease.
A plan lot ne" eoCiety LOT suppression OF vice
talked about. To such a society, it is said, the
Legislature could grant certain police powers
similar to those now held by the Gerry society.
Then the society could proceed to close up dens
of vice in the district. drive vicious persons out
of tenement houses and protect the decent and re-
spectacle people Of the district.
Everett P. Wheeler said yesterday that he
thought the granting of special powers to a So
cety for the protection of public morals would be
constitutional A society thus empowered to work
he said, would be a tremendous power for good on
