WOULD GUST POLICE
HEAD, SAYS HEDGES
Continued from Arst page.

Only five minutes conversation with
the head Of the force would Do neces.
sary.
Mr.. Hedges spoke at three meetings
here tonight, one In Democratic South
Troy. a big one at Harmony Hall. In
the centre Of the city, and one at Ian
sinsburg. He wound UP hard day OF
speaking. which began At Yonkers at
noon, and included open air addresses
as well as hall meetings. His recep-
ton throughout westchester County. In
Duchess and here was encouraging.
His audiences did not seem to resent
in the least the fact that he used wit
in making the point Of his argument.
Republican leaders along the route
declared each district had some third
party sentiment, which in effect was
anti organization Republican senti-
ment. Here, especially. the third term
ers are mostly anti-organization Re-
publicans. with handful Of Democrats.
In Westchester County this feeling Is
strongest in Yonkers and the communi-
ties directly outside New York City. In
the river towns, the local men say, most
of the Roosevelt supporters are likely
to vote the Republican state ticket.
