"FINGEY" STILL ON GU4RD
Republicans Shall Not Steal State
If He Kn01cs 1t.

There are loud calls from Buffalo for William T.
Conners 10 come home and parcel out some of the
good things he promised the boys" after Novern-
Der 6, but "Ffngey'' prefers linger the burn
ing deck at the Victoria He there yesterday
He said that the Republicans were trying to steal
the state, but that he would not allow them 10
get away with It. Mr. Conners said: The move
by the Republicans TO have the void and protested
ballots counted is nothing more less than a
scheme to have the ballot boxes opened They de-
trying TO have them opened themselves
Mr.. Corners apparently had forgotten
Hearst obtained an order last by which all
protested and void ballots We're examined by the
court and counted or thrown out their merits
Are you going 10 do anything to prevent this
movement Chairman Conners was asked
That matter is in the hands of our law COM
mittee," he replied,
Asked about the McCarren incident Mr. Conners
said he would not appoint his investigating com
nittee until the latter of the week He said
"The committee will act in fair and impartial
manner. and If McCarren is innocent everything
will he all right; If not. he can't remain on the
committee"
What viii you doNif the courts say YOU can't

ciho instances where McCarren knitted Hearst, 10
be presented TO the investigating committee or
seven which "Fingey" Conners says he Is going TO
appoint. The evidence, the anti-McCarrenites
think. will be enough to expel the Senator from
the state committee.
Sheriff F1aherty and his followers. who form a
Democratic Municipal Ownership party, are not in
favor of Delaney and his organization. The
Sheriff yesterday issued a statement disParaging
Delaney's attempt to GUST McCarren. He said, in
part; .zi zA
l cannot believe that people generally VIII be
attracted 10 organization which - planning
only the downfall of the McCarren Organization.
II wants only dethrone McCarren and then take
the very place that he now occupies. The plat
form Of the Hayes Delaney organization is the
came that of the old party.
l am often accused OF being close TO the Senator
In political matters. Nothing could be further
from the truth. like the Senator personally, and
7 enjoy meeting him socially; but am heart and
soul, opposed to his political methods.
The fact cannot be lodged that people generally
regard the new movement under Messrs. Hayes
and Delaney as directed and controlled by Chair
man William J. Corners of the state committee
and by Charles f Murphy, OF Tammany Hall.

was actual fraud committed in a precinct. If ne

said:
I simply saw that friend OF mine not re-
