Long Distance Phone Message Sends Rich Father to Hotel
 Where Son is Suicide

Harold Bruff, youngest son of Will liam Jenkins Rruff, wealthy president of the Union Metallic Cartridge Com pany. and brother of Austin J. Bruff of the executive offices of the cop- pany in this city, committed suicide yesterday morning in his room in the Hotel Belmont. New York, by shoot ing himself in the right temple. There was an abundance of evidence, says the New York World, to show that he had carefully planned his act and with iron nerve carried 1t out.
 For several years he had been suf- fering from tnbercrIlar glands, and his family assign dependency over his physical condition and his inability to resume the practice of law as the causes. One of the young mans classmates at Yale and a close per- sonal friend said that a love affair, in combination with his illness, was the real cause.
 T knew Harold intimately both at Yale and in the city,s he told World reporter. For a long time he had

A year ago last June tuberculosis had developed to such an extent that Brun went abroad and spent the next twelve months in an attempt to get well He returned last June appar- ently improved, and spent the summer "out doors'' with his family at their Long Island home. He led Germans, played tennis, rowed, and everyth hing was done to keep him cheerful. A week ago he saw his doctors and they told him he was unfit to return to work. He became steadily more he seemed in better spirits when he told his father he was going to New York for the day.
 l~ Alarmed by Brothers Letter Bruff went to the Belmont, wrote long letter to his brother in this city, and mailed it. Then he walked calmly over to the desk, registered with a firm hand, and went to his room. In his room he wrote notes to the coro- her and the manager Of the hotel, saying he was sorry for the trouble his death would cause @
 Fully dressed, he lay down on the bed. pressed a revolver to his temple and fired. It is not known at what time he committed suicide, but the hotel physician believes between and o'clock yesterday morning.
 Austin Bruff would not give out the contents of his brothers letter. It alarmed him so much, however, that immediately after reading it he tele- honed his father from Bridgeport, and the latter called up the Belmont and asked if an accident had happened to his son.
 An Investigation was made, and the young man was found dead. This tele- phone message was the first intima- ton the hotel people had of the sui eide. The father and brother, who came on from Bridgeport, reached the hotel within a short time Of each other
 Harold Bruff took an academic de- gree at Yale in 1905, and in the fall of the same year he entered the liar ward Law School, from which he was graduated three years later. He then

their ticket and selecting an alder manic candidate.
 President John J. Ford quickly dizs patched the routine business and caIf- ed for report of the committee to recommend a delegate ticket. The re- port headed by the name of Joseph Bonner, as chairman of the delegation was unanimously accepted. Thereupon MT. Bonner thanking the clubs for their consideration asked to be exeug- ed. Adjournment was taken in an ef- fort to have him reconsider, but he could not be persuaded to run. and Thomas Quinn was made the head of the ticket. and William Flaherty, for many uyearssa city sheriff was named to complete the delegation.
 The delegates and candidate spoke briefly promising their best effort4 for the party and the. district Cols
 s'sThe time has come when the po< htical trickster must be relezated to the back seat The time is ripe for the selection of our candidates by df- rect primaries. That shall be the pur- pose of this organization"
 He said he has nothing to withdraw of his former statements. what he said before stands. He called atten-l tion to party pledges, to platforms, and to the election of men upon plat forms for which apparently they have no regard. ..If a man is elected to public of- flee through the influence of prf- yate interest then that private inter- est has right to expect that ts7e office holder will do what he can to repay the interest that placed him in office. But we propose to hold our candidates responsible | to US. When the Second District Democrats elect an alderman upon platform. ti1s Democratic electors of the Second dis trict have the right to expect their alderman to work for their interest, not the interests of pffvate enter~ prises.
 He .contended that the present af- dermen of the Second district have not been representing the interests og the people. of the district. and that the people of the district were entitled to better service than had been given them.

MAHONEY DECLINES TO BE ].
 ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE
Alderman Geriy and Mahoney Reply to Charge Wade by Col
 j. H. McMuTTaY
Wear no Corporations Collar, They Assert and s ..,Al to Have Constituents Judge Them by Their Public Record
 McMmTay Repeats His Charge at Consolidated Meeting

' ed for an explanation finally said that since the campaign had taken on a personal aspect, and he had no com plaint to make against the two alder men from the Second he wished to take no part in the primary fight
 President J. P. Sullivan presided at the Young Mems Democratic club meeting. He took occasion to declare that he had been misrepresented as having been opposed to the adlninis- tration. He had criticized the admin istration, he said, but he did not de- clare he was. opposed to the adminis- tration.
 Then Alderman Mahoney spoke briefly He said he didn't get people jobs. through his influence as an al- derman, and then expect the recipi- ents of the places to spend their money in his place. He declared that while McMurray was alderman, for six to speak of for the district. ''No cor poration owns me- he declared, land I dare McMurray Or any other man to say SOL While he and Gerrity were representing the district, he said, the district has got more crosswa1ks, streets and lights than in 10 years be- fore.
 President Sullivan took occasion to observe. that the reason McMurray didn't get Gregory street repaired while he was an alderman was be- cause he-Sullivan-'e lived in that street
 Then Alderman Gerrity was called into the meeting. He said he had heard and read with much interest of his friend McMurray's talk about the sacredness of party pledges. The all derman said that next Saturday would mark the completion of 29 years resi- dence in the Second district. He said he was not ashamed to go to any part of the, district. that he had always voted according to the dictates of his conscience.
 Probably McMurray knows more about the corporation collar than do,'' said Gerrity. Sixteen Democra- tic aldermen voted in favor of the measure for the support of which I am criticized. It was signed by the nominal leader of the party. am clared that he had always worked in the interests of his constituents
 Gerrity said he couldn't believe the other organization was independent as long. as it had anything to do with McMurray. He promised McMurray that so long as he has anything to do with politics in the Second district, just so long will he find Gerrity ar rayed against him.
 Alderman Mahoney then announced that he was not candidate for re. nomination for alderman The tickets as printed above were then reported, and without opposition were accepted.
 Meanwhile an equally stirring meet ing was in progress next door, where the consolidated clubs were preparing

 While enthusiastic and largely at- tended meetings of the two rival or ganizatfons of the Second district were preparing tickets for the primaries and selecting candidates for alder 
 into the Second district primaries con- tests last evening by the caucus of a score of voters who prepared a third ticket
 The meeting of the Second district Democratic club with the Young Mems Independent club was held in Rail- road avenue in a barber shop adjoin- ing the meeting hall of the Young Mems Democratic club, in Railroad avenue. The attendance at each meet ing was about 50.
 Former Alderman McMurray, a lead ing spirit of the consolidated clubs, reiterated his former charges.
 Alderman Mahoney, who has served for four years, in declining to accept a renomina tion, refuted former Alder man McMurray's charges and in turn declared that in the 6 years McMur- ray was an alderman he accomplished practically nothing for his district. Alderman Gerrity made a vigorous speech, declaring his pleasure at be- charges of ex-Alderman McMhrray of no corporation, and that while it is true that he has worked for the New Haven road, he has always voted according to the dictates of his. consci- enee and he feels that when he can work no longer for the New Haven road he can secure employment else where.
 The meeting of the McMurray con- tir1gent was delayed somewhat by the withdrawal of Joseph Bonner who was picked to head the delegate ticket He thanked the meet ing for honoring him, and when press

 Determined Not to Wed
 After his return from a trip abroad for his health in June, he thought he would get well, but when he did not improve he became very Respondent. He believed the tuberculosis germs had so tmpregnated his system that he would never recover. This led to the question of whether. even if he did par tially recover, he, a sick man, had the right to marry
 "I, know this caused him untold mental torture. He w..s told that an operation might possibly cure him, and I tried to cheer him up with this news. But he had decided that he would have no right to marry in any event. Life stretched out before him as dull and hopeless without the girl he loved, despite his own brilliant abil- ity, his large income and his numer- ous friends."9
 A woman who answered the tele- hone in the Bruff home in Bay Shore, L.. l.. last night, said she knew young Bruf was engaged to a Brooklyn girl. She declined to give the latter's name. Austin Bruff said that if his brother was engaged he did not know it.
 .I think I would have if he had been," he said. 'No, don't believe a love affair had anything to do with it. think depression over his Sphy- sical condition was the only cause At Yale Harold Bruff was one of the most popular men in his class Q905.) He was the leader of the banjo and mandolin clubs, and had no trouble in making Scroll and Keys, one of the exclusive societies. He was noted for his good looks. Tall, dark, we'll built, his quick wit and attrac- tive personality won him a host of friends

Women Finally
 Win In California
Late Election Returns . Com pleteIy Turn the Tide in
 Their Favor
Special from United Press )

San Francisco, Oct. 1s-The last doubt that woman's suffrage has csr-. ried in California was apparently re7 moved, today by returns from z,7f7' precincts, showing a plurality of L. SIS for the constitutional amendnenf Suffragettes in this district dec1are that the large pluralities poned by the amendment in the country districts which have reported thus far will be continued in the precincts as yet un- reported giving suffrage a plurality of nearly 5000.
 With the passage of the suffrage amendment assured, 1t is. now certain that every one of the g amendments. to the constitution submitted at Tues, days election was endorsed and will speedily become 6 part of the law of the state.
