RALLY IN 18TH TONIGHT
Hedges To Be First Speaker at
Abingdon Square.

The rafting campaign which the Re-
publican organization in the 25th Assem-

ically, being surrounded by Tammany
strongholds The old Greenwich Village,

tons, which the district takes in lie In
the midst Of the bailiwicks Of the Suln-
vans, Young Battery Dan" Finn, Good
win, Culkin, Mike" Cruise and the dis
trict Of Charles T. Murphy himself, with
a wall of voterless loft buildings on the
north as the only other boundary. With
three tickets in the field, the workers in
this Republican oasis have forced the
fighting more aggressively than ever, and
it is now conceded that the district will
go strongly for the national and state
tickets and the local candidates.
The Election Eve rally will be held from
the bandstand In Abingdon Square, a
famous forum for political debates. and
among the speakers, besides Mr.. Hedges,
will be Frederick c. Tanner. the young
leader who is directing the campaign; h..
Crosby Handkerchief, candidate for Con-
gress in the 18th District. which, in spite
of the partisan Democratic reapportlon-
ment, is conceded to the Republicans this
year; Edward X. Baird, candidate for
state Senate; Assemblyman Francis X.
Stoddard. jr., whose remarkable record
at Albany last winter makes 1t certain
that he will run far ahead Of his ticket;
Ezra p. Prentice. former Assemblyman
from the 18th; James N. Luttrell, who
keeps the Southern vote in the district IN
line for the Republican party, and Alder
man Henry VI Curran from the 18th

PRAISE FOR KINGMAN
Friend Says He Will Make
Ideal Congressman.

Barton Z. Kingman, Republican candi-
date for Congress in the oath District, Is
one of the most popular men Of his party
In Yonkers. The district which his friends
are anxious to have Mr. Kingman repre-
sent includes, besides Yonkers, Mount
Vernon and New Rochelle, part of The
Bronx.
Mr.. Kingman was born in Brockton,
Mass, sixty years ago. He went to Bos-
ton with his parents and later removed
TO New York, where he engaged IN
the drygoods business for a number OF
years. He removed to Yonkers with his
family about thirty years ago. His home
Beechwood. in North Broadway, is one
of the prettlest homes in that city. He
is married and has four children and
twelve grandchildren, all of whom live in
Yonkers.
He has been a stanch Republican all
his life and firm believer In the Re-
publican policy of protective tariff ana

In describing him one of his neighoors

WRONG TO VOTE AS JEWS
So Says Rabbi Wise, Referring
to Campaign for Governor.

DR.. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi Of the Free
Synagogue, in Carnegie Hall, addressed a
large audience yesterday on the subject
rs There a Jewish Voter" with special
reference to the present campaign for
Governor in this state.
Never before, said DR.. Wise. had there
been an election in which such continual
reference had been made to the Jewish
vote. The expression Jewish vote" he
said, had become positively nauseating to
self-respecting Jews and any attempt to
mass Jewish vote was a serious blunder.
DIT. Wise told his audience that they
had no right to vote for a Jew for public
Office because he was a Jew; neither did
they have q right to vote for candidate
because he had rendered service to Jews.
He said that when he went TO the ballot
box tomorrow he would not be there as
Jew, but as an American citizen, and
that II he should vote as a Jew he would
impeach his American citizenship.
Referring to the good offices Of one OF
the present candidates for Governor In the
abrogation Of the Russian treaty In the
interests OF Jews. DR.. Wise said "the man
who will make capital out Of record of
bare duty is unworthy Of further public
honor. God save US from our friends and
defenders IL they demand and exact pay
ment from US!
This canyassing for Jewish vote is
inviting a new humiliation and degrada-
ton TO Israel" said Dr. Wise, who added
that there was no need for a Jewish
American vote.
He closed by asking his congregation
70 vote tomorrow not for man because
he was a Jew, nor because he had rem
dered service to the Jewish race but TO
vote for the man whose record of service
showed his faithfulness to his country
and his fltneSA for Office.

Walker lost the championship some eight

that Mr.. Walker has done nothing to re-

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Special Dispatch to The star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, March .
The wedding out of the superfiuous
Nationals is being carried on in ear
nest. With negotiations pending Tor
the transfer of Gagnier to lndianapo-
lis, Griffith has started TO make ar
rangements for the placing of others
of the youngsters with minor league
clubs Guy Johnson is the next one to
go. He is very apt TO be with the
Syracuse club of the New York State
League. which is being managed by c.
NcCaffarty. late of the Montreal club,
and a personal friend of Griffith.
Guy johnson is going to make a
pitcher He has plenty of stuff now
and with experience Will undoubtedly
be heard from. He Will get chance
in Syracuse that he would not get with
the Nationals. He is just now round
ing into form and should be ready for
work by the time he gets to the New
York town.
Johnson is one of the shortest men
on the staff, but there is n lot of him
at that. lie has a wicked, fast ball and
with the raw edges taken off of him is
very apt to be a success. He has
STYLE of delivery much like that of
inEton and St. Louis several years ago.
Others of the young brigade Will
gradually be weeded out. Sheer VIII
perhaps be returned to Youngstown,
while Allen will likely be placed with
some high grade minor league club for
development. MuSserS future is still
in doubt. because he is just beginning
to get his arm right SO that he can
show himself in his true form. Guy
Johnson was secured from Nandalia,
Ill, where he made quite a reputation
as a pitcher in some Independent semi
professional league.
Griffith proposes to carry two first base
men this year. which is taken to mean
that Jack Knight will fill the other end
of the bill. The Nationals manager fig
ures that if he finds the other positions in
the infield in good hands he will
play Knight at first base, and then if>any-
thing happens which necesSitates n change
in the nfield he can use Knight elsewhere
and move his other first baseman. which
will probably he Flynn. to the bag. In this
way Griffith figures he will be we'll forti-
fled if anything happens to his inhelders.
1t stands to reason that there is no way
TO keep knight out of the game. He is
too valuable a ball player to be sitting on
the bench. There is. of course, a chance
that he will start the season at third.

KLAUS AND DILLON
TO BATTLE TODAY
Meet in Frisco and Scrap Has
Bearing on Middle
weight Title.

NEW YORK, March 23.-San Francisco
will stage a glove fight of twenty rounds
this afternoon that will have an indirect
bearing on the niddleweight champion
ship of the world, a title that is claimed
by half dozen boxers At James w.
Coffroth s club Frank Klaus of Pittsburgh
and Jack Dillon of indianapolis will put
up their mauls about 2 O'Clock. They
have agreed to make 1jS pounds, the
American middleweight limit. at 10 o clock
this morning, so that both will enter the
ring with plenty of strength and endur-
ance. Coffroth has secured Eddie Nc
Goorty Of Oshkosh to meet the winner.
Klaus is we'll known here and in other
eastern cities. He is twenty-five years
old, is a German-American and is five
feet seven and one-haf inches tall, with
splendid physique, exceptional boxing
skill and punch that can produce SUM-
Der if 1t lands on vital spot. Klaus
has been boxing as a professional for
eight years and has figured in seventy
battles without sustaining a defeat, at
the same time scoring nineteen knock
outs. He began to attract general atten-
ton three years ago when. after stopping
Harry Mansfield Of England in two
rounds. he outpointed Forky Flynn, the
boStOu IlSHC heavyweight, III Twelve
rounds. He beat Harry Lewis on a foul
and more than held his own in no-dec s.
ion affairs with Hugo Kelly, Bill Papke
and Joe Thomas.
In 1910 the Pittsburgh fighter trimmed
Jack (Twin) Sullivan on points in twelve
rounds, made the late Stanley Ketchel
extend himself in six. knocked out Frank
Mantell in nine, outpointed Jimmy Card
