automobiles In a side trip he made
ninety miles through Orange County by
automobile, travelling most OF the way
at from fifty to sixty miles an hour. One
car In the long procession hit a man, but
he was not seriously hurt
The gist of all Mr.. Hedgess speeches
was that neither Mr.. Sulzer nor any other
member of the active working force Of
Tammany Hall can raise moral levels in
New York State one inch. and that Sui
ger or himself. ne said, would be the next
Governor. There was no other possibility.
The most the Progressives could do
would be TO split the Republican vote and
elect the Tammany ticket. The candidate
| cited the Rosenthal murder I'm New York
as a sample Of the results OF Tammany
| rule. and reiterated his pledge 10 re-
move the Police Commissioner Of New
York as his first act as Governor II the
laws were not better enforced in January
than they are now. He added:

| editor OF a paper. saying TO me: Do you
know that II the police force thought YOU
were going 10 remove somebody whom
| they liked they would not vote for you|

photographed with Murphy at the syria
cuse fair. He liked the brotherly propo-
slton, but not on intimate terms
The days campaigning began with a
meeting at the railroad station al Hayer-

Cornwall station, where the candidate
and his party were met by Senator John
r.. Rose, Ex-Governor Odell and "A party
OF Orange County Republicans with auto

Elks' Club. After that he made noon
speech to an audience OF one thousand

the opera house. Mr.. Hedges told them
he wanted TO be Governor 10 turn out or

by Tammany. and to do this, he said the
