Judge GaynOr has claimed virtues for him
self. Chairman Gehring gave out a state
ment in which he predicted mot an over
whelming plurality. but an Overwhelming
majority" He said that house-tO-hOuse
canvass was being made and that he was
''gratifed beyond expression"
Some OF the headquarters staff who were
loudly proclaiming that Mr., Barnard could
not be elected even went so far as to say
that Republican district leaders were in
structing voters TO support the Civic ALI
ance ticket Straw votes taken in a num-
Der OF barber shops Just before and during
church hours in the morning indicated
plurality for Mr.. Hearst and caused great
rejoicing. The following is part of Mr.
Behring's statement:
The prediction of Mr.. Bannard-s election
ana the attempt Of the Barnard news
papers TO convey the impression that Nj.
Barnard has even a remote possibility IL
election are little less than amusing Even
Republican district leaders have admitted
within the last forty-sight hours that Mr.
Hearst Will poll the greatest vote that was
ever cast for anv candidate for Mayor
Spreading this impression by the Repub-
leans and bv the Republican press NAV
possibly slightly affect Mr.. Hearst's vote
and cannot refrain from saving that every
vote detraCted from Mr.. Hearst means only
one-half vote for Mr.. GaynOr

Use GRILLS HALL.
Ne1o York against Tammany
Duty of the Hour.

PREACHING on The Civic Duty of the
Hour at the Free Synagogue yesterday
morning, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise delivered
vehement attack upon Tammany Hall
AT the beginning of his discourse Dr.
wise explained why the address on Social
Service" announced for yesterday had
been postponed until next Sunday, and the
present subject substituted.
The time was fraught with danger to the
Jewish people of New York, he said by
reason of the recent visit to Tammany Hall
OF delegation of thirteen Jewish ministers,
the self-appointed representatives of the
Hebrew community in this city" DIR. Wise
continued:
.,. Ihese men are guilty of infamy for from
Tune to time it is said in ignorance that
the leaders of Tammany Hall are friendly
70 the Jews. 1 deny the fact of such
fTT a,5la It would be dishonoring to the
Jews. NO decent, self-respecting, law
3plullg Jew asks for help or support or
1axor in any form from Tammany.
Inc issue of the present municipal con-
test is not the character of the menageries
IN Union Square, nor the artistic value of
the Sculptured groups which have been
temporarily added to the city's treasures.
Inc issue OF the hour is Tammany against
New DIRK, and the duty of the hour is
New York against Tammany.
citizens ought not TO be muddled by is
sues that are lending a vaudeville aspect
10 the terribly serious business of our
great city. If one of the candidates really
believes in freedom from unnecessary po-
lice interference, let him practise that
theory If elected to office, but let him not
appeal to the voters upon grounds so
liable to serious misconstruction.
Instead of attacking General Bingham,
let honest men attack the organized VICES
and lniquities which he braVely and hon
estly fought, and which he might have sue
ceeded in routing If a man had been in
the Mayors chair, instead Of the little
creature who now occupies it,
II may be true, as is often urged, that
city cannot be run like a church. but It
need not be patterned after the model of
Bowery dive.
There has been a moral gain of late.
The masses of New York citizenship are
beginning to understand that Tammany is
not their friend, but their ZOE, and a pail
of coal or q BoWery picnic cannot any
longer deceive the thinking and alert.
Referring to the statue recently erected
in Long Acre Square, DR.. Wise said;
Who was the real slanderer Of New
York-Croker or Golf. Murphy or Jerome?
The men who have erected the statue
have thereby proclaimed that truth is
defamation, and are wrathful because we.
who are truth speakers, will not dssist
crying, Stop, thief"

PASTOR ARRAIGNs TAMMANY.
Dr. Smith Asks Hearers to Vote for a
Clean Government.

DR.. Thomas w. Spith. pastor of the st.
141st street and st. Nicholas avenue. made
an eloquent appeal yesterday TO the mem
bers of his congregation to use their votes
for the termination Of Tammany misruIe
The theme Of the sermon was 1.-The City
Budget and the Kingdom of God" and
DR.. Smith arraigned' the Tammany ad-
ministration for neglect to provide ade-
quate school facilities, failure to provide
necessary funds for the fight against tu-
berculosis and failure to improve condi-
tons in tenement houses. DR.. Smith said:
Say what we please of the faIIacy of
socialism, we are all socialists when it
comes TO the common essentials of a great
city. Here are tremendous interests which
touch every member of the family, and
which must be administered by able, hon
est and broad-minded men.
DR. Smith then took up the refusal of
the Board of Estimate to grant the ap-
preparations asked for by the Department
of Health. and gave statistical figures to
the mortality of children. He continued:
Why should not these vital and merciful
appropriations for 1910 be made? We are
Yet the present Controller of the city teS-
tilted that the city payroll is $S0,OO0000 a
year, and that from . to 50 per cent of
that expenditure is useless.
DR.. Smith closed with an appeal to his
congregation to vote for a clean, able,
non-partisan city government.
