TAANANY'S BEST
BOSS IN NEW YORK
ON EYE ELECTION
Old Guard Thinks He May
Gust Murphy If Organi-
Zation Loses.
ENEMIES MAY GET
ESTIMATE BOARD
One Tiger Leader Expresses Fear
for Outcome-Absurd.
Says Murphy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Riehard Croker,
successor Of John Kelly as head of Tam
many Hall. and admittedly the best.
or worst, boss. according to the View
point. Tammany ever had. returned to
this country today for a winter stay.
with election four days or. naturally
the tongues OF the old guard wagged
lively. and again the opinion was ex-
pressed that the aged chieftain wearied
for the game again and planned. should
Tammany lose next week, to have Muir
ply eusted and himself reinstated in
the Fourteenth street wigwam. But
none OF these dreams found conhrma-
ton in the ecker attitude.
Looks Much Younger.
Bright and fresh. looking twenty years
younger than when he abandoned this
city for his farm in Ireland, the veteran
politician smiled on the interviewers as
the giant Mauretania came up the bay.
"Out Of politics? Why n0t2' he re-
piled when asked II he still retained the
position he took on his last trip here.
I suppose II Is too much 70 expect the
newspapers TO let up on that question,
but really It Is becoming tresOme-

time. l did my share, and think I earn
ed the right TO enjoy my rest In the
sunset OF my life. I ain back here TO

that I have place AT Palm Beach. I

Deplores Mud Singing.
BY the way. how Is election going.
anyhow" he suddenly asked.
He was told that ali three candidates
were campaigning to the limit and that
there was great deal Of mud singing.
TOO bad. too bad ne said. that IS
the grave fault Of our elections
''Bourlte Cochran went abroad three
days ago. Mr. Croker" said an inter-
viewer, and he declared the campaign
was too indecent, as the result of mud
singing, for him to stay TO vote"
''Bourke said that?' asked Croker
with a smile. That's funny. Sucn
things should not have affected him IN
the least"
Net BY Nephew.
The former boss was met at the
pier by his nephew. Fire Chief Ed
ward F. Croker. and many enthusiast
tic friends. After a general hand
shaking he went TO the Democratic
Club on Fifth avenue. where he viii
stay until the latter part Of next
week. He declared that it wiz ssfeeI
good" 10 be in New York another cleo
tion day and watch the crowds. even
though he would have no personal in
terest Ia the contest.
Croker declared that the outlook
for racing abroad is better than ever,
and that he still has IN his stables at
Vantage some high-elass horses. He
declared that the report he was to
retire from the turf because he had
been heeeed by the bookmakers ard
by his own trainers was absurd
Il viii win another Derby before I
retire" he said, "and / am not so sure
that the winner of next years big
event is not IN my barn now"

FROM FUSIONISTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-With the con-
fidentiaI canvasses Of their district lead
ers in their possession. the campaign
managers today began the preparation
of the official forecasts, which viii
issue tonight and prove" TO the un-
initiated just who viii be elected next
Tuesday
That is. the managers for Barnard
and Hearst will do so, but Charles r
Murphy will refuse-and Murphy has
a good reason While he believes pri-
.vately, and insists publicly. that Gaynor
will be elected, he is not sure about
the remainder OF the ticket.
This is due TO the leaders ia their
reports declaring that the silent vote''
this year will be the largest In the
city's history. Every effort 10 line up
this vote has been useless. and Tam
many Lopes for the best, but is pre-
pairing for the worst.
Expect a Landslide.
I'VE may strike a landslide that viii
swing through our entire ticket" de-
clared one OF the Tiger leaders today:
and we are doing all we can to get
it, but the cry Of a Tammanyized board
of estimate is having its effect. and al
though or candidates for president OF
lne DOaIu OF aldermen ana comptroller
are straight business men of the best
reputation. I personally think they will
be defeated.
"Gaynor, I think. will be elected may
or, and we will carry Manhattan, the
Bronx. and Queens borough. but will
lose Brooklyn and Richmond. This will
give the fusiOnists the board of esti-
mate"
When Leader Murphy. OF Tammanv.
was asked about this statement he
characterized Il as absurd.
THE entire Tammany ticket will be
elected, he said. Every day improves
our chances"
Refuses To Give Figures.
He refused point blank, however to
give out any figures. and became peev-
ish when asked to indicate what he
thought his ticket would get Murphy

He is starting with great deal more quicfness and his speed has developed a wonderful amount over last season.

which will be presented in this city all this week at the Bijou.
 Cohesiveness, continuity and dozen adjuncts essential to the making of any presentation, drama or farce, that have seemed lacking in many previous plays of MT Ade, combine with it's scintillant situations and epigrammatc lines to make the comedy an assurance that the American satirist and student of national peculiarities is but stepping forward to- a dramatic fame and position accorded him by many. His latest work possesses a more tangible story than some of the authors previous efforts. Ethically the betraying of benefactor by the person he shas aided is deserving of little pity or palliation. In ''Just Out of College" the betrayal takes on the assumption of a huge and hearty joke, approved and applauded by the hearers. Given a check for $20,O00~ by Septimus Pickering, his contemplated father-in-law, who half hopes to be rid of him by loaning him the money, Edward Worthington Swing CT, the college youth desirous of accum- ulating fortune, enters into partner ship with a feminine manufacturer of pickles and by dint of nerve, plausible address and the riskng of all his money as a secret partner in the mysterious rival pickle venture, succeeds in selling out to his relative and rival and winning the hand of the daughter.
 Just Out of College is said to be one long laugh from beginning to end George Ade has selected for his types in his comedy college youth without a penny. who aspires to the hand of trust magnate's daughter; his sweet heart one of those dear, unreasonable creatures who thinks her love the most important thing in the world; her best friend who never loses chance to tell something that will just break your heart; a modern up-to-date business woman; a life insurance agent: a collec- . tor of souvenirs and college friend who fixes" everything.

HUNT PAYS THE BILLS.
Interesting Parsonage Who Will Enter
 tain the President In Africa.

David S. Barry, in Providence Journal
 An interesting fact in connection with the Presidents African journey has just come to light in the discovery or the individual who is to foot the bills This person is Leigh Hunt, nominally of Be- attle. who spends much of his time in Washington, and in other capitals of the world.
 He Is something of a captain of in- dustry, but more of a soldier of fortune. He has had a varied and interesting career. and has been connected with many vast commercial industrial and patriotic enterprises He has been much in the east in the past 20 years, having left Se- attIe early in the 90s to exploit important mining concessions obtained rom the Emperor of Korea. They were so profit able that MT. Hunt. in returning to Amer ica, went to Seattle, where, having failed in business, he owed large sums of money, and voluntarily paid ms creators in full with interest.
 He afterward was interested in a movement to import negroes from Amer ica to raise cotton in the Sudan, with the assistance of irrigation, and was there closely allied with Lord Cromer, England's representative in Africa
 This enterprise was less profitable than the mines and since then Mir. Hunt has been engaged in various more or less successful business ventures, Being a warm personal friend of President Roose- welt and his family, he has, it is under stood, arranged pretentious programme of entertainment for them while the Smithsonian institution enterprise is ir progress, and which involves travel by houseboat on the Nile and other features of interest and pleasure.
