RED HOT IN NEW YORK.
Municipal Ownership Appeas to Gail
STRENGTH,

New York. Oct. 30.-On the eve OF
the beginning of the last week Of the
municipal election, the managers OF
all the Mayoralty nominees completed
preparations for the most energetic
canvass New York City has known in
many years. Tammany, now thorough
" aroused and desperate, having
turned the batteries of 10000 eight
sheet posters depicting William X.
Hearst as the murderer Of Mckinney
and the arch-cOlor sergeant OF anarchy,
is preparing to meet the issue OF mll-
nicipal ownership, which has been lg-
nOred by its orators. The Republicans
have at last awakened to the fact that
if they do not make different cam
paign, even Mr. Jerome will enable
them to poll as many votes as Gen
Tracey did in 1897, when he was 'he
third in the race and had 1Ol,OOo III
all five boroughs. The Republican
County Committee has obtained money
and 1000 Republican speakers Will
advocate the cause for WINS nlghtly'
The municipal ownership league Will
make the city fairly hum from no"
until election day. Mr.. Hearsts man
ayers believe the tide is strongly with
them. Owing to the feeling against
political machines, against state, mu'
nicipal and insurance graft and
against gross abuse of franchise, they
are obtaining what they never expect
ed get.
