Explaining His Position.

BINGHAMToN. N. Y. Co.. 12.-When
Senator Green's case was again called be-
fore Commissioner Charles S. Hall this
morning, Theodore r. Tuthill, one Of Mr..
Green's attorr eys, asked for an adjourn
ment for few days until John B. Stanch-
field can be present. United States A.
torney Curtiss also was not ready to 60 on
with the examination. the Government
not having sent on anyGof the evidence
which Commissioner Hall holds must he
introduced before he will turn Senator
Green over for trial in Washington.
Inasmuch as the Commissioner has
planned to be out OF town for some time.
the examination was adjourned until Nov,
0. Commissioner Hall filed memorandum
explaining his position, in which he said:
Competent evidence Is now required
showing that the alleged crimes of bribery
and conspiracy were committed in the
District Of Columbia and that there is prob
able cause to believe that the defendant
ia guilty Of the crimes. There is no Federal
or New York statute making indictments
evidence OF the facts they allege.
ain the absence OF such statutes an indict-
ment cannot be treated AZ competent
evidence unless the defendant admits the
truth Of the allegations 1t Is practically
hearsay evidence, and is so regarded by
those most familiar with the manner in
which indictments are often obtained and
of about the same value"

FUSION WEN IN DADY'S CLUB.
Speeches Made That Tell OF Success for
the Ticket,

The nominees Of the fusion movement
who live in the First Assembly district Of
Kings county, were entertained by the
First Assembly district Republican Club
at its headquarters, ISL Schermerhorn
street, Brooklyn, last night. President
W. W W'ngate presided and the guests
were introduced by Col Michael J. Dady.
Assistant Corporation Counsel James
Mex zen, Republican nominee for Justice
Of the Supreme Court In the Second judicial
Department, was the first speaker. He said
he believed in the men who worked in the
party organ zation in order to bring about
the best results and he was also a firm
believer in clubs
Frederic W. Hinrichs. the fusion nominee
for Comptroller, received a hearty re-
ception,
All the indications are" he said, sthat
Shall be overwhelmingly elected. Every
where do | find hearty enthusiasm for
those who for the last two years have been
working FOR the peoples interest"
He then told Of tho contrast between
, the contracts entered into by the Tammany
organization and those made by the fusion
Administration.
Why, rowboats which cost the people
under Tammany rule $l43. are now pur-
Chased for s43. There is good ground
Tor the suspicion that the difference was
graft said Mr.. Hinrichs. Look at the
men who have no occupation and yet go
around decked in jewels. You must infer
mat 1t all came from graft from the va

Tolerate it. The signs are that New York

FUSION HITCH IN BROOKLYN
Because the Gifts Have Endorsed Democrats
In Republican Districts.

The Republican managers in Brooklyn
and the leaders OF the Citizens Union in
that borough are in a deadlock over their
failure to unite on candidates for Assem-
blymen and Aldermen in four or five dis
tricts, with the consequent probability of a
defeat at the polls
The Republican managers have taken
the ground that, in view of the fact that the
Citizens Union ia represented on the fusion
ticket by j. Edward Swanstrom for Presi-
dent OF the Borough and Alfred j Boulton
for County Clerk, it was morally bound to
indorse the Republican candidates fer
Assembly and Beard Of Aldermen in the
sure Republican districts. On the contrary,
it has either Endorsed the Democratic can
didates or put up candidates Of its own in
these districts.
Ex-Lieut Gov. Woodruff, Col. Michael j.
Dady and Jacob Bremen, chairman Of the
Republican executive Committee, were in
conference for a couple Of hours yesterday
with a committee OF the Citizens Union,
trying to straighten out tho tangle, but
without success.
A message was sent to r. Fulton Cutting,
chief manager Of the Citizens Union. urg-
ing him to come over to BROOKLYN at once
and see il he could not harynoniZe matters.
He replied that he could not go to Brook
lyn owing to pressing engagements in Man
haitian. but he urged the Brooklyn man
ayers Of the organization to spare no efforts
to effect complete union on all the Assem-
bly, and Aldermanic nominations. While
they should not be expected, he said. to
support Republican candidates whom they
had reason to consider unfit. they should
not at the same time indorse any OF the
Democratic candidates
The difficulty now is that this is just
what has been done in some cases, and as
the certificates are already on file, there
seems to be no way of carrying out Mr..
Cuttings advice.
