LABOR MEN ON BRYAN.
Leaders Sag His Speech Has Helped
Him 1cith Neither Side.

The publication OF the speech Of acceptance OF
William Jennings Bryan started some of the labor
men anew yesterday TO talk of the question Of
labor taking part in politics, Some Of the labor
men said that the speech was a disappointment
as it did not refer to the ant-iniunction plank in
the Democratic platform. and was more con-
servative document than they had expected Others
said that it was an attempt to conciats the
servative element in the party Prominent labor
men who were knights Of Labor and
now in the American Federation of Labor said
they were sorry that the American Federation of
Labor executive officers had seen fit to enter the
political arena
Among these J. E. Pritchard international
secretary OF the PAYERS and Hammers Union who
said:
1T was when the leaders of the Knights of
independent politics that the disruption of tho
order began. fractional feeling developed. and the
order became practically disrupted eventually. The
attempt introduce politics into any labor union
tends to disrupt rather than TO help it. as any
attempt influence votes in a union always leads
to factonal disputes AS to Bryan's letter of ac-
ceptance 1t is evidently designed TO gain the good
will of the conservatives. but he will get the
same dose as he did twice before, only in a worse
measure
Edward Hourigan, business agent of the New
York district of the International Association OF
Machinists, said that Bryan's speech would dis
please the radicals, while II would not conciliate
the conservatives President Young of local New
York of the Lithographers' Protective and Bene-
fetal Association, said;
mo matter how conservative Bryan may appear
we know that he has changed around like a wealth
ercock Bryan simply wants to be President and
has made that so patent that the question OF his
beliefs does not count for much. His ambition 1
believe, will never be realized"

Arrangements have been completed to refer the
indictments against the Brighton Beach Racing
Association and its officers, Christopher ]. Fitz-
gerald, John G.. Cavanagh and William A Enge-
man. to the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court. in Brooklyn TO determine the sufciency of
evidence. thereby eliminating the extraordinary
session of the Supreme Colrt which had been or
dered to convene on Augl'st 25.
1t also did away with the proceeding before Judge
Dixie. in the County Court. which scheduled
for yesterday and in which John B Stanchheld
was to make motion to inspect the minutes Of
the grand jury to ascertain on what evidence the
indictments were based. The arrangement the
result of a conference yesterday between Judge
Dixie. John B. Stanchfeld and Acting District At
torney Elder.
It appeared that certain questions Of law hearing
on the validity OF the indictments and raised by
Mr.. Stanchfeld would have to be thrashed out
eventually. and it deemed wiser to postpone
the trials until this had been done
The special grand jury called for the month Of

JACKSON ON THE FENCE.
Won't Say Whether He's Still zoith
Hearst or for Bryan.

Attorney General Jackson New Yorks champion
trust buster was some stirred up yesterday
over printed reports that he had thrown over the
Independence League for good and ALL and hence
forth and forever afterward would be a loyal fol-
lower of Murphy, and have at least bowling ac-
quantance with his good friend and sup
porter, but bitter enemy, 'Fingey' Conners,
the gentleman from Buffalo
A Tribune reporter had talk with him yester-
day which somewhat like this:
rs it true that you have foresworn Mr.. Hearst
and his leagueites?'
IT have not said So
'fWill you vote the Independence League or the
Democratic ticket?'
"I am devoting myself as usual to the interests
of the common people and the duties of Office" :"
Forgetting them just for a moment, will you
say whether you will vote for Hisgen or Bryan?"
This is not the time for to talk politics.

people"
Are you a Democrat or an Independence
Leaguer?"
'I refuse to be interviewed 1 for the COM
mon people first and last
well. would you mind saying
'I have said all I am going TO say. I am work
ing in the interests of the common people and
trying to practise law I have not given any in
tervfew on my political stand yet, and L don't in
tend to at this time
MANY people believe that Mr. Jackson has vet
10 make up his mind to Just what course
he will follow 1t is believed. however. that he
would be receptive candidate for place on the
Democratic state ticket. It is considered doubtful
however, whether either Murphy or Conners would
want him AS Attorney General. Mr.. Jackson has
been liberal in distributing his patronage to the
Independence League party, much more liberal 10
that organization than to Tammany Hall.
He has also on several occasions gone directly
contrary to the wishes of "Fingey' Conners, which
has led that leader to attack him with great bit
terness in his papers.
Everything seems to indicate that the Attorney
General is as one man expressed it, sitting tight
and waiting until the state political situation be-
comes more clear before making any decisive step
This wear he has either got TO be with or against
Hearst There can be no halfway measures.

LEVENSON AND THE p. S. c.
4 Possible Explanation Of HIS At
titude Tozcdrd the G0uernOr.

Those who know the eagerness with which Jo-
eeph Levenson, Republican leader in the 2d As
senbly District, tried to get job from the Pub
lie Service Commission a short while ago, are
wondering il his turning down by that body helped
him to discover that naturalized Of his
district are opposed TO Governor Hughes, as Mr.
Ievenson stated TO Tribune reporter at the round
UP Of the Republican leaders on Tuesday The
naturaIized voters said Mr. Levenson. 'blame the
Governor for the veto of the 1ve-cent Coney ISL
and fare bill. They also think his Public Service
Commission is responsible for the transfer situa-
ton"
1t was several months ago that the engineers OF
t.e Public Service Commission decided that the
building at No. pa Canal street. occupied by Mr..
Ilevenson in his bookbinding business, would have
to be condemned for the purposes of the bridge
subway loop. Mr.. Levenson was Informed that no
would have TO move, but knowing that a com
mission would be appointed to appraise the prop
erty for condemnation purposes, he Immediately
asked the Public Service Commission TO make nm
g member of the condemnation commission. He
also paid many visits TO the offices of the commits
sion TO add force of personal eloquence to his
request and TO point out the reasons why he should
be appointed.
Mr. Levenson failed, however, to get the place
Although he had fully three months notice to
move out of the building he went on August l to
the Controllers Office and paid his rent for the
premises receiving receipt therefor In this way
ba was able to evade the notification Of the COM
mission that he would have to vaeate the build
ing on August 10. and TO force that body TO post

Since August ! Mr.. Levenson has MADE pro
tests that the time allowed him TO move was TOO
short.
