terested in racing.
Elder testified that representatives of
the bookmakers were present, the Met
ropolitan Turf association. He also
mentioned other men, whose names, he
said, didn't occur to him at this time.
Elders testimony in part was as fol
lows:
Gardner said he was In Albany with
Charley FL. Hyde, the present city
chamberlain. He went there with
Hyde, he said, because Hyde didn't
know the ways. l asked how much
this fund was. He said it was con-
siderable. l asked him If 1t was $780,
900. He said more. l said more than
100000? Well, he said, $5G0,000 and
you'll be nearer. He said that Pat
McCarren was displeased because
james Z. Gaffney, a Democratic poll
tician, was holding this.
"a subscription was made up. There
was a dispute over the matter. The
sum Of $685. 900 was to be handled by
.Gaffney. This was to take care of
either three or four members of the
legislature-Tammany e OF this
amount only $4,000 went to Grady.
