THIRD OUT or TOWN.


AC4NuuK AlOEuCo " ANHNNNh ~
No matter what may he the outcome
next Tuesday, there was no doubt yester-
day that young Mr.. Jay B'Gee Rinehart
OF Harvard, the Bowery, Cedar and Bleecker
streets and Bryant Park south was the
absolute leader OF the Tammany Repub-
licans OF De Thoid from dawn to dark. Tn
Hon. Jimmie Haveacigar March. the pres
ent leader, was down at Greenwood Lake
on his annual outing, and among his guests
wa Looie Jasmine H%oeninger, who will be
Rinehart's opponent at the primaries next
Tuesday.
The Hon. Big Tim Sullivan left the Bowery
for the Waldorf early in the day to have his
nails manicured. Leader Florence Jene-
We've Sullivan spent most OF the day seeing
New York on a rubbeneck to note
the changes that nave taken place during
his absence in Europe. Consequently when
young Mr.. RinehaTt came out OF his Bowery
lodging house early in the morning he was
master Of the situation.
The Harvard alumni along the Bowery
were quick to take advantage OF the clear
field that had been left to them, and there
was a big sCurrying Of the Rinehart forces
from one star chamber meeting to another.
The most important conference was in the
rear room of Mr.. Simon Goulash Fishers
tailor shop, 1873 East Houston street, where
Mr.. FISHER. Mr.. j. Brice Gordon Rinehart,
Harvard, 90; Mr.. Trailing Arbutus Biggie
Donavan. 'o4: Mr.. Dash Me Shoes McCartv
OF President Roosevelt's class, and Mr.. The
Dog Is Dead Conlan, 70, were closeted from
twenty minutes after 4 in the afternoon
until dusk.
None Of the statesmen would give out a
word OF the happenings Of this meeting.
Down at Tony and Johns adde's and Gents
Restaurant, however, a persistent rumor
foated around that Simon Goulash FISHER
had offered to 8 wing the pushcart vote
over to Mr.. Jay B'Gee Rinehart in return
for the trouser pressing patronage of the
many Harvard alumni that have turned
up on the Bowery since young Mr.. Rinehart
announced his candidacy for the leadership.
Mr.. Fischer first asked that The U
correct its statement Of a few weeks ago
that his middle name. il Succotash.
Il like Succotash, you know; but when II
comes down to it I'm for Goulash. you
know" said Simon when asked what had
been done at the meeting. Now, on the
other hand. you know" he added mys-
teriously, when pressed for more details
Of the conference, this Mr.. Rinehart is a
beginner, you know, and certainly what's
the use2 That's the way it goes in these
things and that proves, you know, GER
tainly. Some favors he had on me and
Ioh auch certainly, and he's a young fellow,
and certainly that's the way it, yOu know,
II. That's the way things stand"
You have positive assurance that these
statements are true?" Mr.. Fischer was
asked.
Nothing to say 4" answered the politician.
as be began to chew the loose end Of a spool
OF thread. When the last of the white
thread had been unravelled and consumed
and Mr.. Fischer had started on a spool Of
black silk it was seen that he had suddenly
determined to stick to his we'll known policy
OF drawing into his shell in the presence Of
leading questions, and the Interviewer
withdrew.
One reason for the big sprint toward
the Rinehart band wagon yesterday was
the resentment felt by the Harvard alumni
Of the Bowery toward the Hon Jimmie Have
aoiRar March, because he had forgotten
40 many of them while dealing odt the tickets
for his free outing to Greenwood l. AXE.
N. j. The outing got away. twentv-seven
carloads strong, early yesterday morning.

Mr.. T. A.. Z. Donavan got together a
crowd of his old Harvard classmates under

organized an impromptu parade. headed
by Mr.. Donavanr carrying a transparency

Owing to the limits Of the transparency
the name could not be all lettered, but The
Bowery knew who was meant.
Less than an hour later Mr.. Mike The Bite
had corralled the diners in Tony and Johns
ladies' and Gents Restaurant and had
formed them into the Harvard Independent
Repeaters' League. Some of the men in
the restaurant at the time ware Yale men
and others were self educated, but in their

with loud yells Of
