RET|RES IN
FAVOR OF
Mr.. JEROME

New York. Oct. 26.-Ivins stock took n
decided rise yesterday. The feeling is
growing tina il the independent Repub-
lican voters will stand by him Hearst will
pull enough votes away from the Tam
many ticket to elect WINS.
The candidate himself has repeatedly
said tina Hearst would make an avenue
which he. WINS, would walk to the city
hall. and the belief is growing that may
be he is not so far from wrong after all.
The original Tammany plan was to let
the Hearst boom grow to such proportions
that II would scare all the conservative
OF both parties into focking to Nc
Clellan. just as the George scare I'm 1886
frightened them into voting for Hewitt.
Now many think his scheme will prove
a boomerang and that the conservatives
will flock to WINS instead OF Mcclellan.
In connection with this an interesting
report was circulated yesterday that
Charles A. Flammer. the Republican can
didate. would make no effort to secure
votes for himself. but would write thou
sands OF letters to Republicans, advising
them to support Jerome.
The greatest weakness OF the WINS cam
paign is the fact that the Republican con-
vention refused TO indorse Jerome at the
command Of a few powerful district
leaders. For that reason thousands OF in
dependent Republicans have declared
their intention OF voting for Mcclellan
and Jerome.
Judge F1ammer cannot now withdraw
from the ticket as the legal time for such
action has passed. but IL is felt that " he
would make II plain that he wanted no
votes himself, but desired the election Of
Jerome. II would have the effect OF bring
ing the independents back TO the Ivins
ticket.
Judge Flammer issued a statement last
advising ali Republicans to vote for
Jerome. He says he desires to retire as
n candidate in response TO what he recog-
nizes as the sense OF the majority of the
best citizens In the community.
IL is said hat Judge Flammer retired
at the request OF Mr.. wins In spite OF
his rejection OF the nomination his name
will remain on the official ballot, as 1t n
too late now to make substitutions except
in case OF death.

REQUESTS
FEDERAL
INQUIRY

Harrisburg. Pa, oct. 26.-Gov. Penny
packer yesterday addressed a letter to
President Roosevelt requesting that the
federal authorities make a full investiga-
ton OF the causes leading to the closing
Of the Enterprise National bank OF Al
legheny. The governor bases his re-
quest on the fact that the state OF Penn
sylvania had over $4,000 on deposit I'm
the bank when 1t failed a week ago. and
that because IL is a national bank the
state banking department has no author
ity to make an investigation. The gov
errors move is regarded as n counter
play against the Independents and Demo-
Gratis, who have been using the Enter
prise affair as "A campaign argument FOR
tho defeat of Plummer, the regular Re-
publican candidate for state treasurer.
They charge that tho bank failed because
OF worthless securities given by politicians
for loans obtained on the strength of the
state deposits, they could turn into the
bank.
