NEW YORK. November 6-Awakening
from the saturnalia of political hystera in
which It has been indulging for the past
two weeks conservative New York seems
today to show indications of pausing and
asking If 1t has not created a political
frankenstein In this municipal ownership
movement which with horrid mien will dog
its future? Coupled with that question is the
further one, can 1t be that 1t has come to
this realization too late?
These conservatives realize that they are
in a measure responsible for permitting the
growth of the movement which now seems
to them menace. They pooh-poohed the
Hearst campaign, aided it by assisting
In exploiting the conditions which he was
fighting and through opposition to which he
was building his strength. They over
looked the existence of vast elements OF
discomfort permeating several stratas of
the social fabric which Mr.. Hearst has been
able to summon, as sprites from the vasty
deep, TO his aid. In his case they have
come
Today the people are buZzing with inter-
est over the revelations of last nights rally
for Hearst at Madison Square Garden. Not
in many years has New York witnessed
such a Wild scene. The estimates of the
crowd vary from 10000 to 10000 people,
against whom 500 policemen fought with
baton and fist to control. and who surged

in frenzied masses. degree of enthu-
siasm was manifested in the crowd which
was very ominous to the opposing leaders
when the character of the audience was
taken into account, for this was not some
incoherent gathering on the east side. but
made up of people of all classes.
Doubtless there were some among them
who have been brought to Hearst's banner
through the odious deal between Hearst
and Odell for trading votes. Responsibility
will rest in high quarters in state repub-
lcan politics for a great deal of the out
come of tomorrow's election.
Republicans Indignant.
Republicans are indignant that their
party has been trafficed with by their state
leader and attempt made to deliver
their votes. Many republicans think that
some help might have come from republi-
cans high IN national politics in this hour
of need. The fact is not overlooked that
q member of the Presidents cabinet and
himself a distinguished New York republI-
can, who some day may ask support of the
state for the presidential candidacy, took
hand in the local game but not for his
party.
Secretary Root wrote a letter to Judge
Flammer congratulating him upon getting
out to make way for Jerome and advising
Jerome's support by republicans but Sec
retary Root did not have time to say a
single good word for the republican city
ticket and his party's candidate for mayor.
Neither did Mr.. Choate in his great speech,
but II, for anything, threw some rocks into
his own political back yard. These things
are being talked about by republicans, and
not in a kindly spirit, either.
So the frankenstein has been created
through connivance, Indifference, failure to
understand by conservatives, and through
the assembling of all the horrid elements in
the conglomerate social order of this great
city. New York will do some deep think
ing between the reading of this mornings
Dt.DerS and the casting OF tOmOfrOW'S vote.
Trying to Head Off Hearst.
Every means that conservatism can bring
TO bear will be employed today and tomor-
row to head off the Hearst movement.
Money is pouring freely into Tammany's
campaign fund and the wonderful political
machinery of that organization is being
worked at high pressure
Tammany is appealing to republicans on
the score that 1t is now too late for them
to take the risk of losing their vote and
that 1t is imperative they should scotch
Hearstism by voting for Mcclellan.
Tammany has been completely outclassed
In political maneuvering up to this date
but Tammanys opportunity comes tomor-
row when IL stacks up Its clever organiza-
tion against chaotic political conditions
Hearst has had skillful men about him, and
they have harped with the touch Of the
master on every chord Of demagoguery

campaigning, ne comes out NOday with

Finally: ''Jews-they have worked in

Hearst says of this: And we ask the

Tammany's Busy Day.
Today was a busy day with Tammany,
and leaders and ieutenants great and small
were working like beavers. 1t was dough
day" that is, the funds set apart from the
several districts were distributed and the
organization set out to play its last card.
The result tomorrow depends upon two
things: First. how successfully Tammany
