New York. Oct. 1s.-"And so this is Tammany Hall. It is the first time have ever been here. but if this is Tammany Hall. where is the tigerg'
 These were the first words spoken tonight by William J. Gaynor. Demo- cratic nominee for Mayor of New York as he gazed out over many faces in the old structure on Fourteenth Street. known as the wigwam. the headquar- ters Of the most remarkable political organization in the world. As he stood there he raised his hand for silence. for the cheering was terrific.
 It was a typical Tammany ovation and typical Tammany ratification meeting.
 The hall was packed with here ana there woman's face in the audience. Although Judge Gaynor had delivered several addresses since his nomination, 1t was not until tonight that the Demo- cratic ticket in Manhattan was official iy ratified"
 f3tto T. Barnard, maintaining hfs whirlwind pace. but adhering cioseiy to business issues and avoiding persouah ties. delivered four speeches in Harlem tonight. but interest was centered in the Tammany gathering.

For the most mart he went over the ground that he has covered heretofore--the trusts Hearst and criticism of Barnard.

 Tn ms SpcecneS hOhlSnkB WVtO practically the same at all four points of address, Mir. Barnard said among other things:
 Refusing to be drawn into any con- troversy with Hearst. who at first ac-, cepted the nomination as a passive candidacy. heading the same ticket as Barnard, but who last night turned against tho Republican candidate and attacked him bitterly, MT. Barnard said
 "I am not spending my time abus- ing other candidates but instead l am touching on different phases of city life.
 After his four speeches of last night, Hearst rested tonight and did not appear in the campaign. Gaynor Is still the favorite in the betting although money for election betting seems scarce.

There was a wager, however of to 5. that Barnard would be last and $2,000 was bet against $I,0O0 on Gaynor against the field
