JEROME SOUGHT TO
PERSUADE LOW TO RETIRE,
District Attorney Is Said to he Con-
WINGED That Present Ma yOr of New
York Cannot BE Reelected.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Sept. 12.-What might he
termed the str~ait-jacket stage was ap-
preached in the city political campaign
to-day. A series Of weird stories were
spread abroad. and, If the half of them
could be believed the conclusion would
be irresistible that the entire fusion cam
paign has gone on the rocks and that 1t is
all over with Low and the rest of the
fusion ticket.
1t all seems to have followed a visit
to the city Of District Attorney Jerome
for the purpose of getting Low of the
ticket. But Low will hardly retire. and
Jerome. who made such a spectacular
campaign for fusion two years ago. is
huffed. He believes in his heart that
Low can never be reelected.
John G. Sheehan. the leader Of the
Greater New York Democracy, declares
he will support Low and will continue
his fight against Tammany. And in this
he is opposed by VIM. Hepburn Russell,
chairman of the Executive Committee.
who issued a statement to-day, in which
he gave his reasons for opposing Low,
and declaring that, if any decent Demo-
crat is nominated, 1t means the defeat of
Low. whom he helped elect.
"As Democrats" he said. the Greater
New York Democracy is anxious to bring
to an end the power OF Roosevelt and
Odell. and we see ahead a frst-class way
Of accomplishing the desired result. 1 find
myself reluctantly compelled TO oppose
the nomination of Mayor Low"
Mr.. Russell charges that the national
and State political leaders have meddled
too much in city politics.

WOMEN
DUPED BY HUNDREDS
Give Photographs and Money to
Agents Collecting Beauty"

PAY THE PRICE OF VANITY.
Mayors in Many States Who Sc
lected Beauties Complain to
Government and Fraud Or
der May Be Issued.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. sept. l2-Hundreds of beau
tifuI women living in more than a dozen
Stntes have been duped by their own van
ity and are now appealing TO the Post-Of-
flee Department for revenge ana If that is
denie0 for justice.
The women who have made complaint
are those who We're selected to represent
their States in the several beauty" gal
leries proposed for the 81. Louis EXPOSE
ton.
Under the plans operated by two or
three companies getting up the galleries.
Mayors Of cities were requested to nom
mate from three TO twenty c~andidates,
whose photographs were to be displayed in
the collection. When the names were
forwarded TO the companies, agents were
sent to call upon the nominees and solicit
the portraits. as well as Il fee. TO "defray
the expenses OF framing md otherwise
preparing the pictures for exhibition.
BY promising that the galleries would
occupy conspicuous positions in their re-
spective State buildings. the agents en-
~countered little difficulty in collecting
from s. to 81 each from the nominees.
Most Of the soliciting was done more than
a year ago. since when the women who
give their photographs and their money
have heard nothing from the companies.
Recently two or three State commits
sions have taken action on applications
for space in buildings, and in every in
stance they have declined to enter into
the scheme or TO give space for the gal
leries."
knowledge OF such action was received
by several Of the women, and the new
was not long in becoming circulated gen
orally. In consequence Mayors of about
200 cities in all parts Of the United States
have been held TO account, and in self
defense a number of the Mayors have
written to the Post-Ofice Department 10
see action can be taken against the
companies.
The legal branch OF the Post-Offce De
partment has not determined whether
fraud orders can be issued. but inasmuch
as the mails were used in interesting May
ors of cities 10 make nominations of
types of beauty and for the distribution |
of literature it is believed that this can
be done.
Issuance of fraud orders against the
companies. however. will not satisfy the
women who have been separated from
their photographs and money. The prize

sltion Is to be made of the photographs
