proposed harmony plan Mr. Cassidy, who
has taken charge of Democratic affairs in
that borough since he and former Sheriff
Herbert s. Harvey entered into harmony
compact between themselves, refused. how
ever. TO allow the complete tickets to be
made public. He said that the Independent
Democrats of that borough. who have not
taken kindly to his plan, might place some
of the names he selected on their tickets
in order TO confuse the voters, and thus
defeat his scheme for harmony For that
reason. he added, he was willing to make
public the names OF only the men with
whom he knew the enemy could not tamper.
They are follows:
Joseph Cassidy. ex-State Senator Luke \.
Keenan,. James T. O'Brien. Alderman Au-

Weidner James Callahan. Joseph p
Knah Leonard RuOff, ex-Sheriff Joseph

MT. VERNON WOULD COME IN
Committee Reports in Favor of
Merping with New York.

The South Side Taxpayers Association
of Mount Vernon appointed a committee IN
June to investigate the adViSabillty OF
merging Mount Vernon with greater New
York, and the result of the committee 5
work has been incorporated in long re-
port which has just been made public.
The committee reports In favor of merging
with New York. 1t suggests that Mount
Vernon, New Rochelle and YonkerS be
consolidated into one borough of the great
er city and that the three cities be formed
into county in order to have their own
county government.
The committee suggests that Mount
Vernon be the county seat 1t is opposed
TO merging with Bronx Borough, as it does
not want Mount Vernon to be the tail
end Of The Bronx One of the reasons
given for the committees approval of the
merger plan is that New York gets about
all the water from the vicinity of Mount
Vernon. while that city has TO 30 short
of water The committee also calls at
tention to the fact that this year the tax
rate at Mount Vernon is 81 SO on 800 worth
of property. while in The Bronx it is only
81 n.

CONTROLLER A PROGRESSIVE
Prendergast Announces That He
Is with Roosevelt.

William A. Prendergast, the Controller,
who went abroad seven weeks ago. re-
turned yesterday on the Hamburg Ameri-
can liner Amerika from Hamburg. The
Controllers early return caused by
the illness of his wife, who contracted
blood poisoning abroad. and who had to
be operated on at sea by the ships surgeon
The Controller remained with his wife
until Frederick j. H Kracke. the Naval
officer of this port. and a squad of anti
Woodruff politicians boarded the liner at
Quarantine. Congressman Calder was with
the Kracke delegation, which remained
cloSeted with the Controller for a short
while. When Mr. Prendergast emerged
from the conference he announced that he
was Roosevelt man through and through

of any interest 10 the public, YOU may say
that ! am with Colonel Roosevelt and well
come him back to his state. His reappear-
ance I'm politics is like a good, deep breath
of fresh air"
The Controller said he had felt the pulse
of the foreign bankers concerning muni-
cipal bonds and that the next issue would
be sold In part in the European markets.
Before the Amerika docked Mr. Prender-
CAST sent a letter of congratulation to
Mayor Gaynor on his recovery.

John F E,hrgott formerly member of
the firm Of Ehrgott &. Newman, dealers in

TO this city yesterday in custody of fed
eral officer, having been arrested in Boston
on two old indictments. charging fraud in
the payment of customs duties
A stir caused III the early part of
1902 upon the discovery by Mr. Bidwel,
then Collector of the Port, OF a scheme op-
Grated through the United States bonded

MURPHY'S PRIMARY VIEWS
Candidate Says He Will Support
Man with Most Votes.

Former Governor Franklin Murphy one
of the candidates for United States Sen
ator from New Jersey who. Will go before
the Republicans of the state at Tuesday 8
primaries. in statement issued yesterday
pledged himself to support the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes. Mr..
Murphy's statement follows:
It has come about in the agitation Of
recent years led by such men as La Fol
lette, whom I regard as danger and a
menace to free institutions, that many of
the states have passed laws directing the
LEGISLATURE to be guided by the voice of
the people at the polls in the election Of
United States Senator. This is a violation
of the Constitution. but it is done In a
legal way and it must be accepted in those
states where such laws have been passed
l am submitting my, claims for the Of
flee of United States Senator to the peo-
pie of New Jersey next Tuesday. for an
expression of their opinion. l shall re
gard that expression definite. If either
Governor Stokes or Congressman Fowler
receive a higher vote. then | shall accept
the verdict and do what l can to see the
one receiving the highest vote elected,

SURE GAYNOR WON'T RUN
Physical Condition a Bar, Say
Friends-Boom Gerard.

Although there was no authoritative
nouncement yesterday as to whether or not
Mayor Gaynor would accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, the i'm
preston gained ground that he would prob
ably not be the candidate this year. 1t is
stated that persons who have talked with
him have come away with the distinct
feeling that he would not consent to leave
his duties in the City Hall 1t was also
said that his physical condition would
scarcely warrant his going into the heat of
a state campaign.
Reports from upstate, however. to the
effect that the rank and file of the
party want Gaynor continued to come in.
The leaders are hopeful that they may
get some definite expression from the May
or before long.
There was much talk yesterday of the
apparent availability of Justice James w.
Gerard, of the Supreme Court, based on
the cordial feeling expressed toward him
by William Randolph Hearst in a recent
dispatch from Paris. The possible attitude
of Mr.. Hearst has received much atten-
ton from the leaders in their talk of can
didates and his support is greatly desired
1t is understood that Justice Gerard would
be entirely acceptable to Tammany Hall,
and some favorable comment on the men,
tiOn of his name published within the last
few days has not escaped the attention
of the leaders. On his return from Europe
a couple of weeks ago he announced that
under no conditions would he accept a nom
ination, but the Democrats were not so
confident of winning then.
The threat of the Progressive Democrats
to bolt the ticket unless a progressive
stand is taken by the Rochester convention
in both the platform and the character of
the nominee for Governor caused some
uneasiness in the minds OF the leaders,
especially those who have been promoting
the candidacy of Edward NJ. Shepard
