BRONX COPS TURN VAMPS.
Reserves Form Bucket Brigades to Put
Out YOungsters' B0nfires.

Small boys who got an idea that the
primaries last night were q real election
caused lots OF excitement in the lower end
OF The Bronx and turned the reserves OF
two police stations into q volunteer ME
brigade.
The trouble started when mob OF
youngsters made pile OF cordwood fifteen
feet high in the middle OF the block on l38th
street, between Lincoln and Alexander
avenues. A citizen galloped around to
the Alexander avenue station and tod
Inspector Titus that small boy was being
broiled on top of the pile. The reserves
started on the run. They learned that a
boy had been delegated to arrange the
wood on top of the + lie while others sprinkled
oil underneath Then some one had lighted
q match and the pile had blazed up, The
boy on top had slid of with his red hair
pretty well singed, and had scampered
home before the cops arrived.
The reserves ripped the bonfire apart
and then borrowed pals and dishpans from
the excited housewives. hydrant was
tapped, and, by means Of bucket brlgnde'
The flames were extinguished. Then the
patrol wagon drove of with load OF partly
charred logs.
About this time the reflection of the flames
plowed over the housetops from the direc-
ton of l35th street The basis OF this pyre
was huge chicken coop that had been
taken from a nearby lumber yard. lhe re,
serves hustled around and were jeered
by mob Of nearly 1000 gamins.. Another
bucket brigade was formed there: In
spector Titus appealed to the Morrisania
station for more deserves to assist in dis
persing the boys, and while they were
hurrying to the scene of action they came came
across a crowd OF youngsters, with arms
full Of wood, emerging from the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railroad yards
The boys dropped their loads and ran
Several cops were left TO guard the wood
while the others ran TO the assistance OF
the Alexander avenue station reserves.
Meanwhile a chain of small fires had
sprung up along Lincoln avenue, and the
cops attacked the f,azes. Al late houi
last night the police had not succeeded IT
arresting any of the guilty ones, but the

main I'm the Cool White Mountains.

Gov. Odell came to town yesterday by
appointment Some folks said that the
Governor came Unexpectedly. and that he
got out of sickbed to do so. Gov.
Odell, it was ascertained, has been troubled
only by a slight attack Of indigestion. and
he has been subject for year or two to
indispositions of this kind.
Gov. Odell had talk with Mayor Low
and with other Republicans, some Of whom
have recently talked with the Mayor with
the understanding that the Governor would
come later on and meet the Mayor and chat
over the situation; and it was also stated
that the Governor had chat with Comp
troller Grout. Gov. Odell dropped in a
moment at Republican State Headquarters
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but he had
nothing whatever to say rs to his visit TO
Mayor Low and other Republicans. He
has been greatly interested, like other Re
publicans, in the denomination of Mayor
Low, and has frequently said that the Mayor
was the logical candidate in the present
situation Tho Governor, however, has
said at the same time that the Mayor and
his friends would have to put up big battle
hut that they would win Just the same.
Gov. OdelI told the Mayors friends and
other Republicans that the situation in
New York county was very much better
this wear for the fusion forces than ever
before, inasmuch as the Mayor, on his rec
ommendation. had appointed Gen, Greene
Police Commissioner and George W Morgan
Superintendent of Elections. With the
police force in the hands of the fusion forces
and the enforcement of tn" election law
in the hands of the Republicans, Gov, OdeIl
believes, it was said, that Mayor Low :
chances are very much better than good

cans last night that President Roosevelt
on his visit to-day to inspect the 1mmigra-
ton Headquarters on Ellis Island will take

Of Mr. Murphy said at the Hoffman House:
Yes. it will be Mcclellan. Mr.. Murphy
has looked all over the ground, and he has
consulted with all sorts Of Democrats, and
he Is convinced that Mr.. Mcclellan is the
r,ght man to nominate, and you may rest
assured that he would not have permitted
Mr. McClellans name to become 40 promi-
nent in connection with the Mayoralty
nomination of the Democrats had he not
decided after consultation with influential
Democrats that Mr.. Mcclellan would be
acceptable and that not withstanding all the

A Tammany leader at Delmonioos. one
who has not always been in accord with Mr..
Murphy, said last night:
III is Mcclellan, sure. Any talk Of q
combination by which Mr.. Murphy is to
lose control OF the Democratic City Con-
vention, so far as the Mayoralty nomina-
ton is concerned, must be considered hot
air. As you know, have not always
agreed with Mr. Murphy, but am convinced
that he has determined to nominate Mr..
Mcclellan
1t was ascert aimed that Mr.. Murphy has
asked number Of influential Democrats to
point out single flaw in Mr.. McClellan's
record, whet her here in New York or at
Washingt on as Democrat, as a Congress-
man and as citizen. and challenged all
comers to present the slightest criticism
against Mcclellan cit her in his private or

his loyalty to the Democratic party.
Mr.. Murphy, 1t was ascertained. also
has been informed that in naming his

he gives the opposition the opportunity it
desires to characterize Mr.. Mcclellan as
"Mr Murphys man." but Mr.. Murphy, it
