BETTING BRISK; CLOSES EVEN.
TAMMANY FORCED ODDS ON
MCCLELLAN FOR A WHILE.
The Big BETS On the Curb. Though. were
Even Money. Although Law Men We're
Around Looking for somethinG Better
--Wigwam Figures Did Not Rite Deep

Tammany, apparently, made heroic sf-
forts in the Wall Street district yester-
day To force the betting odds 40 IA TO make
Mcclellan the favorite, At one time odds
were forced down TO 10 TO aba on Mcclellan
al which rate a few bets were made, but
mt the close of the day even figures ruled,
Tammany cash was showing at that rate,
and there was some disposition on the
part of handlers of Low betting money
to hold of in the hope of getting better
terms. Charles H. Dewitt of the New
York Stock Exchange seemed TO Ike the man
TO whom had been entrusted the handling
Of the big Tammany betting fund.
Mr. Dewitt appeared personally in the
Broad street curb market and offered TO
bet upon Mcclellan in large chunks. He
announced that he had sl0O, 900 to bet even
provided the Low men would take the
money in lots Of 81 600 OF over. He placed
in all something like $4,000 among the
curb brokers 1t was understood that
he placed another $4,000 elsewhere in
the Wall Street district, and it was stated
at the offices OF G. H. Dewitt 4 Co. in the
late afternoon that the Tammany betting
money was still obtainable on even terms
in lots of 81, 600 or over.
L. Crocoo went late in the day to the
Office of Dewitt 4 Co, after he had made
a lot of bets elsewhere and said that he
had 500, 600 or S25, 900 TO bet on Low : at
the market" Asked what he meant by
that, he replied
well, the Tammany men seem to have
lot of money on hand to-day and / think
they should give odds. | should say the
market at this time was o to on Mcclellan,
and have come around to soc what can be
done"
1t could not be learned that any bets were
closed by Mr.. Crocco at the odds he wanted
The Tammany betting pool held out LOT
even money. Mr.. CrOcco showed memo
randa for the following bets that he had
made during the day on Low 5000 even
with Floyd, Crawford Co.; 81 600 to SSW
with Kerr d Co.; 81 600 to $500 with George
J. SPAIN: $500 to $50 with Denis Shea. Mr.
Crocco had also closed one bet of $500 even
with Dewitt Cp.
II was the heaviest betting day IN wall
Street since the campaign began All over
the Street betting interest was very lively.
1t was estimated at the close OF the day
that, in the curb market alone bets repre-
senting $50, 600 had been closed Following
Is partial list of the days bets, the hackers
of Low being given first in each case:

Cuttings Reply TO Protests Against Red
Light Banners.

Phyllis Ieveridge, chairman Of the local
school board Of the Fourth district, wrote
to r. Fulton Cutting complaining of the
banners on the East Side which refer to
the cadet system and the red lights.
Mrs Leveridge expressed the opinion
that these devices might call for unneces-
sary explanations to the children who read
them As a school officer and mother
she protested against their bluntness. Mr..
Cutting wrote in reply:
am not aware OF the nature of the banners
that you describe. | am afraid. however,
IL is now too late to change the lettering. ]
hope We shall never hereafter have any reason
to use the red light As campaign argument.
Mr.. Cutting also received from Mayor
Low the protest Of six citizens against
the banner at Grand and Ludlow streets
He wrote in reply;
regret that the banner has caused offence
to any citizen but the issues which its notices
aCCentuate are too great to br ignored. do
not think the morals of childhood can b" so
menaced by reading the notices as the morals
of adolescence and maturity by their threat

FAVOR DIOCESAN DIVISION.
but Not at Once-Jhe Prevailing Senti-
nsent ~ q Church Ciub Debate.

The Division Of the Diocese" was dis
o'issed last night af the first meeting OF the
Church Club for the season. Opinion was
divided but the prevailing sentiment
seemed to favor division, not Immediately.
but within few years.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas II. Harris, secre-
tary Of the New York diocese. who repre-
scented Westminster county in the debate,
said there ia no American bishop compe-
tent 10 do the work done by Bishop Potter
IN the last ten years and only temporary
relief from the press Of work had come by
the election Of DR. Greer as Bishop-C DAD u-
tor. But il would he a great mistake merely
TO Iop territory of the diocese and set IL
up as separate see.
The only solution, il seems to me,
said DIR. Harris Lies in the creation of a
suf1ragan. True, they are forbidden by
the constitution Of the Church, but the only
argument against the office is only senti-
mental one, and changes in the constitution
do not require a long time, The true solu-
ton OF the problem, 1t seems to me. IL not
division, but two Bishops suifragan, one
for each side of the Hudson River. Neither
should have the right of succession To the
head Of the see, and that should be specified
clearly before election.
But this plan not being feasible the do
cese must be divided. lsuggest the Harlem
and Hudson rivers ~, natural dividing lines,
Leave the boroughs of Manhattan and
Richmond, with the counties on the west
bank OF the Hudson; in the diocese OF the
Hudson or The Bronx or whatever the
name may be, leave Bronx borough and
the East Hudson counties. The Bronx
in time will be great See city"

HANNA SPEAKS IN COLUMBUS.
Great Crowd Listens to the senator scsre
Tom JOhnsOn's Theories

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2s.-Before 5000
people, Senator Mark A. Hanna tonight
made his first political speech In Columbus
during this campaign. Gov, Nash pre-
sided Senator Hanna all through his
address kept close watch upon the issues
advanced by Mayor Tom l., Johnson Of
Cleveland. He said that the people Of the
United States this year were watching
Ohio and considered the results 10 be OBJ
tanned next Tuesday as barometer Of the
national election.
Single tax and home rule issues were
severely scored by Mr.. Hanna, who said
that there were sufficient laws now in force
In Ohio TO overcome every issue that has
been advanced by Mr.. johnson and his
followers. He dwelt at length upon the
history of the Republican party for twelve
years. and said that this was sufficient to
convince any voter that all the claims Of
hard times, now being advanced by the
Democracy Of Ohio. were without founda-
ton.
While this meeting was progressing an
overflow meeting was held in the street in
front Of the Auditorium, where several
thousand more men stood. Local political
leaders talked.
