Toris 2 HaTen. is likely TO be defeated Mr..
Fgsren hir-sef realizes the desperate plight that
he is 81 ard is using every means in his power
- avert his DOWNFALL.
81 far as TIE Bronx was concerned. there was
l,,tle or N politics inc the subject Of the fran
rhlsa until Tammany. with its usual contempt
for the wishes Of the people. made it plain that
until somebody pat up" the Port Chester peti-
,ior would be blocked.
NJ HsTen had been auescent until he be-
cs-ee arprised Of the anger of the borough over
he aelay and then he hurried TO Murphy and
riea6e5 with the Tammany chief TO line up the
rsrnarv Aldermen for the franchise. This
Murphy refused 70 90. Haffen was helpless
JUS, a. the moment when he desired to exhibit
10 TIE people Of The Bronx his alleged mighty
influence with the powers.
Tuesdays proceedings in the Board OF Alder
men showed The Bronx that even with Tam
many Ha1en's wishes were without weight, and
As 2 result the borough is ready 10 support
Joseph 7. Berry and the fusion candidates for
aldermen with the knowledge that there will
ts 70 stand ana deliver" policy if they are
elected. ana that NJ. Berry's first official act
viii be 70 bring about Affirmative action on the
Port Chester project.
THE ENTIRE BRONX AROUSED.
n entire Bronx is so reused over the hold

r has become the issue OF the local campaign
The people are determined 70 teach Tammany
8 lesson. ana hundreds Of men who, under or
binary circumstances would have voted for Nc
cleuan and Hanen. have announced their in
isntion Of supporting the fusion nominees.
The fusion forces in The Bronx have been
quick 10 take advantage Of the situation, and at
every mass meeting last night the fusion orators
called attention 70 the Tammany 'hold-up"
That their audiences were in sympathy with
them was evident from the applause that greet
ri their remarks The Tammany candidates
RON Hanen down. are helpless. Nothing they
said served 70 explain away Tammanys hrazen
behavior on Tuesday. The Bronx has never ap-
proved Hanen's intimacy with Tanlmany-

NEED OF ROAD ILLUSTRATED.
A striking illustration of the present made
o1ate transportation facilities between The
Bronx md the westchester cities and villages
along the route Of the proposed New-Tork and
Port Chester Road was shown last night by
the following incident
Albert z Davis president Of the North Side
E12-6 e Trade was . attend q meeting OF that
body last night. He intended 10 take the 4-l5
train from New Rochelle on the Harlem road.
Ro.h north and south bound tracks Of the road
were blocked by long freight trains. and Davis
waited until 500 for his train TO start. He then
gave L uD !n disgust, and went TO The Bronx by
trolley. arriving after 10 o'clock.
The Harlem road has been In the habit Of run
sud-twe-ty-nini hist. and Third-ave. and New
Rochelle. - is now running only eighteen, so
that IFS freight trains can be accommodated.
