"A WEEK OF IT WAS ENOUGH
So Said Former Sheriff Foley,
Who Led the Exodus
Gaynor Enthusiast Meets
Tragic Fate.

Three trains, filed with four hundred dis
gusted Tammany rooters, arrived at the
PENNSYLVANIA station a little after o'clock
last night The brass throated announcer
cried out that the "foist" Tammany Spe-
cial from Ba-al-te-e-moah would ar-r-r-rive
on track IA, but the announcer erred. The
train came in on track II.
Now. believe Il or believe It not, but on
the first special there were two men whose
collars were not wilted. One was Eddie
McManus. brother of THE" McManus, the
Tammany leader. He explained that he
managed TO get his laundry done at the
hotel in time to bring it away. The other
man wore no collar at all.
| This second man deserves a paragraph
/ all to himself. Besides being collarless, he
wore no tie, vest, coat or hat As he
lurched forward he shouted so that all
might hear;
Bryan ish dishgraish choo Chemocrat
hicD party. Nushzer Roosevelsh! Hopesh
he shtays long muffin Baltimore sho ez
he'll be boiled TO shdeath! THAT'S wash !
shay
| Hes very enthusiastic over Mayor Gay
nor" FASTENED to explain one of the three
men who were trying TO prevent him from
| being a proof Of the truth of the law Of
| gravitation.
"Yash, Gaynor ish all right" said the
man as he tried to carry himself and his
three friends TO the concrete floor.
! Yes" said the friend who had been in
! terruptcd. he was so enthusiastic over
| Gaynor that he bet his coat. vest, collar
and tie that Gaynor would poll more votes
than Clark The Clark man won and threw
his winnings among pack OF noun da"gs'
who chawed 'em up"
"Yash, chawed shem up!'
And he wouldn't wear any others
! mo. Fash right! Won't wear ozzhers!
How was Baltimore? Rotten!
Fash right! Baltimore fish rotten
| But Eddie McManus was waiting to be In
rerviewed, as per request He said many OF
the hotels in Baltimore did little juggling
with their prices in honor OF the OCCASION
but that he and his brother shared room
at the Bunker Hotel, that cost them only
| S. a day.
| But Baltimore was damned tight, so that
you could hardly move" said Eddie. 1t
was too small for the crowds. Might as
well have held it in New Rochelle"
Eddie" was Of the opinion that Mayor
Gaynor might still have chance.
He certainly has one fine booster In
Sheriff Hamburger" said Eddie THE
Sheriff seems never to sleep. He's always
around the hotels buttonholing this or that
man and telling him the real man for the
lob is the Mayor Is the Sheriff coming?
Not while there's a chance for Gaynor.'
Others who came in on the first special
were Johnny" Curry, Commissioner Of Rec
ords; Alderman John Mccain, of the 18th :;
Peter ]. Doolng. James J. Hoey, Billy
Dalton, Commissioner Of Jurors, and
Johnny" Hines. leader Of the 18th.
All who were asked about Baltimore de-
clared 1t was uncomfortably hot and the
Baltimore policemen were dubbed night
watchmen.
The second and third trains, like the
first. were made up of seven cars each.
These too, were filled with district leaders
and their cohorts, and to mention Baltimore
to them was liking waving a red rag IN
front Of a two-year-old bull.
Major ]. Crowley, looking as cool as
though he had Just dressed after dip in
the surf at Far Rockaway, stepped off the
third special, the very mould of fashion
and form.
But for Bryan" said Major Crowley.
who Is one of the most ardent admirers of
the Mayor, Mayor Gaynor would prob
ably have received the nomination"
The major was still Of the opinion that
His Honor was a dark horse.
A crowd Of Kings County Democrats also
returned from Baltimore last night. They
came in on the Baltimore & Ohio, and, like
their Manhattan brethren, had not kind
word for Baltimore.
The exodus Of Tammany braves from the
lefty Of Monuments was led by big Tom
IFoley, Congressman Riordan and Peter
Hughes. They arrived IN town little be-
fore noon yesterday.
"A week Of II was enough" said former
Sheriff Foley 1--WE all caved in from the
heat 1t was awful
One OF the returning Brooklynites, Emmet
J. Mccormick. owner Of a feet Of towing
boats, was robbed of 5000 by a sneak thief
who also got away with several hundred
dollars belonging to other Brooklyn men.
