Campaign Growing Intensely In.

New York, Oct. 17-That there can be,
under section 81 of the election law, no
;ndependent nominations for aldermen
in the city except where the new alder
manic districts are coterminous with
the old wards. is one Interpretation put
upon the decision Of Justice Lawrence
in refusing to John II. Baterman, re-
publican and citizens union candidate
FOR alderman for the Forty-fourth as
sembly district, mandamus directing
the election board to put his name In
the citizens union column on the ballot
as we'll as in the republican column.
Another Interpretation Isl that where
the new aldermanic districts are coter-
minous with the old assembly districts,
from which In this county aldermen
were elected when the election law was
enacted, the difficulty does not arise.
There are fifty such aldermanic dis
tricts in New York and Kings counties.
Any way, the decision is to be taken at
once to the appellate division for re-
view.
If the decision and the first interpre-
tation prevail there can be no lnoepen-
dent nominations for aldermen IN Man
hatta, the Bronx or Brooklyn, and only
threeGsuch nominations in Queens and
one in Richmond.
The fire department was called into
reouisition yesterday to aid the follow
erts of Martin Engel in the campaign OF
intimidation they are now conducting
on the east side to get votes for Tam
many. Several days ago the folks who
believe in Seth Low and Assemblyman
Adler began, in east side fashion, to
hang out on the fire escapes in Eldridge,
Ludlow, Orchard and Forsyth streets
Autographs Of the fusion candidates,
with such inscriptions as these: No
more red light rule from Martin Engel;'
vote for Seth Low and honest govern
mert." mo more blackmail from ped
dlers with Seth Low as Mayor"
The inscriptions angered the Enget-
ties. Under orders firemen from an en-
CINE house In Canal street went out to
remove fire-escape Constructions. "A
delegation of the Martin Engel Associa-
tion undertook to point out the obstruc-
tions.
No attention was paid to the Few
Tammany emblems displayed. but ev-
cry republican emblem was torn down
and thrown into the street. The Engel-
ties below eagerly seized them, tore
them into stripe and jumped on them
shouting the old Tammany slogan; To
hi viii, reform In some cases Amer
lean flags, which were a part of the dis
n,ay were trampled on with the litho-
graphs.
The firemen went all over the district.
and not republican emblem on fire
escape escaped. Other articles, such as
boxes and barrels, which really OBJ
structed, were left undisturbed.
Mayor an Wyck today, in the course
of a public hearing. predicted future
successes for himself. One of the dele
pntion who were asking for more
money for Bronx parks began to coddle
to Mayor Van Wyck by saving:
You certainly have had great sue
cess" whereupon his honor, with
schoolgirlish Singer, added: AND my
success will continue.
At another point Of the hearing Van
Wyck said: IF ever we get repub-
lican mayor here and republican leg
Iislature and governor all I've got to
say is, God help the New York tax
payer"
steps have been taken to get Michael
j. Dady to return from Cuba. Mr..
Dady is republican election commits
sioner and his departure from town left

BOARD.
Senator Platt sent the following tele-
gram tonight to Dady. who is in Ha-
vana, Cuba;
sMichael ]. Dady, Hotel Ingleterra.
Havana, Cuba: Your duties at the
bureau of elections require your i'm
mediate presence. Return by the first
steamer. Answer. T. c. PLATT."
| The telegram was sent after a con-
ference with Chairman Robert G. Nor
Iris of the republican county committee
and William n. Ten Eyck, chairman OF
the executive committee.
Up to a late hour Senator Plat had
received no reply from Dady. but 1t Is
not doubted by the republican leaders
/ that the colonel, upon receipt OF the
message, will lose no time In taking
\ passage for New York.
The Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills,
pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
| is to address a big mass meeting of the
fusion forces in Brooklyn next Tuesday
night.
Hugh Mclaughlin, James Shelvin
and the other Brooklyn democrats who
denounced Deveryism in their sup
pressed handbooks are moving heaven
and earth to compel Devery to resign
before election day. 1t is said that the
conference between Shepard, Mr.
Croker and Deputy Commissioner York
was for the purpose of discussing this
i subject and that Mr.. Shepard urged
upon the big boss that Devery should
get out within q few days of the end OF
the campaign and that Mr. York should
take his place. This action. they think
would not only dispose of Deveryism as
an issue, but also bring SUPPORT to the
ticket from Brooklyn.
Devery is holding out, but, in order
10 induce him to resign. q fund of about
$4,000. it is said, will be pledged him
the day he resigns.
Last of the stuarts.
