KING EDWARD FACES CRISIS

New York, Oct. 22.-"Ireland has never
had such a chance for home rule as now, -
declared T. p. O'COnnor, member of par
lament from Liverpool. friend and lieu
tenant of John Redmond, and a fighter
for the Irish cause, tonight. He talked
optimistcally of his cOuntry's future, a
subject which he will preach into the
ears Of Irish-AmeTicans from now until
Nov. 10. That is what brought him to
the United States on the steamship Lusi-
tania. But there is an it," he con-
tinued. ireland must make the most Of
her chance and it is to ask Irish-Ameri-
cans to help her make the most of it,
to contribute to carrying through the
general election now approaching, that
l am here.
I'VE are a poor people and OF the
eighty-One national, or Irish members Of
parliament, the people have to support
perhaps sixty by private subscription.
The whole United Kingdom is in fer
ment. Such revolutionary public utter
anCes in responsible positions and such
an answering temper in the people have
not been known in three generations. The

to repeat his phrase, Shall the peers or
the people ruie?'
Crisis Confronts the King.
king Edward has fOreknowledge of
the crisis that may confront him, and
his recent activity shows his anxiety
The budget now goes before the house of
lords If they eject il the government
will go to the people for a vote of con-
fidence, and in my opinion they will be
returned. The present government would
pass by 300 votes in the house a home
rule bill FOR Ireland, were they not WIN
held by a conviction that the peers would
promptly veto it. Therefore they will not
waste time on a bill sure to be killed,
when there is so much other important
legislation pending.
But if the present government is sus-
tanned at the polls they will demand Of
the peers a right Of suspensOry vote. That
is, a bill passed by the house may still
again passes 1t in the face Of this rejec-
tion, the bill shall forthwith become law.
Why the Peers VIII Weaken.
You ask me why the peers viii grant
this concession. Because. if they refuse
it. the premier, with the country behind
him. would say with all respect to the
king: Sir, you must give us a majority
i'm the house of lords The King may do
this by the creation of new peers. He has
done it for his own ends in the past, and
in this instance he would have to do it,
because the sovereign under the consti-
tuition must follow the advice Of his re-
sponsible ministers
Suppose the lords pass the budget
The government. in my opinion, will still
find a preteXt to go before the people
for support on the deeper issue fOrmu-
lated by Lloyd-GeOrge, whom have al

Three Candidates for Mayor of
New York Continue to Make
Speeches, Mr.. Barnard APP
pearing in Different Places.
HEARST HEARD BY THE
VOTERS OF BROOKLYN
Expects to Establish a News
paper in City of Churches
After the Election Is Over
and the Votes Are Counted.
.GAYN0R SAYS NOTHING NEW

New York, Oct 22.-Au three of New
Yorz's mayoralty candidates, William r.
Hearst, Independent; Otto T. Barnard,
Republican, and William J. Gaynor, Dem
ocrats, were in the field again tonight
hammering away with campaign speeches
with election but nine days away.
Hearst delivered four speeches in
Brooklyn, having crossed the East river
for the first time since the campaign
opened; Barnard addressed seven mass
meetings on the East side, and Gaynor
spoke at Long Island City and at Flush
ing.
An attack on Gaynor constituted fully
q third Of Hearst's Brooklyn speeches.
He dwelt on the fact that GaynOr had
said in his recent address at Tammany
Hall that he had rot been aware of the
location Of the famous Wigwam before
that evening.
Tammany Knows.
when Judge Gayncr says he did not
know where Tammany Hall is said
Hearst, "he is either singularly insinCeTe
or singulaTly ignorant But I can tell
you one thing, Judge GaynOT may not
know where Tammany Hall stands, but
Tammany Hall knows where Judge Cay
nor stands or they would never have nom
mated him."
Hearst disclosed mis- ambition to add to
his string of newspapers by establishing
one in Brooklyn.
Before my nomination" he said, ct
was just preparing to start a newspaper I'm
Brooklyn to grow with this great borough
and fight for your interests. If I am
elected mayor I shall, of course. have to
give up this particular plan, but I shall
do all I can as mayor to serve you. If I
am not elected. I shall then 60 ahead
with my newspaper idea and do all 1 can
as a private citizen to serve YOU"
Banndrd's prediction that Hearst viii
come in third is his first reference to the
editor during the campaign, although
Hearst has attacked Barnard bitterly.
Both are heading the same fusion ticket.
GaynoT's speeches covered ground that
he has gone over heretofore and included
his compliments to Hearst.
Statement by Murphy.
Among the most interesting incidents Of
the day was a declaration by Charles F.
Murphy that il was Hearst who secured
the election of William J. Corners as
chairman Of the Democratic state COM
mittee over z. T. McCabe Of Albany
Hearst got McCabe out Of the race by
offering TO put up 10000 as a campaign
contribution, Murphy said. He told the
story up to a certain point then dis
missed the subject with a chuckle, say
ing:
"Conners will tell you the rest. He
knows more about it thar I do"
David B. Hill, VINO made the famous
slogan, "I am a Democrat" when he was
leader in state politics, was in New York
today with word Of praise fer GaynOr.
Z hope Judge Gaynor viii be elected;
he is an able man." said the former sen
atOr.

Observation-Disclosures

The capture" was made in an alley
near Main street between First South and
Second South streets, and the gamblers
were taken to the police station and
locked up after giving their names as Tom
Fowler, Harry Katz. James knight and
Frank Smith. No dice were found in the
possession Of the young men, and the evil
dence against them will consist of the
sum Of 60 cents, which was found in the
pockets of one of the crowd.
Honest George Sheets, chief of detec-
tives, was detailed on the case to induce
the gamblers" to confess. and word was
sent to the Tribune to prepare for an ex-

confession as soon as it could be wrung
