Tammany politics Tammany leader
applied for the assistance OF the sheriff
OF the county in protecting voters
Leader Hagan made the appeal and
Sheriff Harburger supplied 30 deputies

four TO one.
in the 2Sth district an aldermanic
fight led to disorders which
resulted in one arrest, that Of Charles
B. I-argy the Republican leader, who
was quickly discharged by magistrate.
As the count progressed it developed
that the apathy of the voters extended
to all parties.
Although the board of elections at
late hour had supplied no figures it was
known from reports from the districts
that the organization candidates on all
tickets had been nominated" John Pur-
roy Mitchell being chosen to head the
and Progressive city tickets

brosses street, New York, attempted to
cross her bow. There was barely space
for the passing, and the strong tide car

ALL BIDS REJECTED.
For Material to Be Used in United
States Battleship.

Washington. d. G., Sept. l7.-With
more than half million dollars already
saved to the government through COM
petition on contracts for material for
batfleship No 49, Secretary Daniels an
nounced last night that he had notified
the Midvale, Carnegie and Bethlehem
steel companies that he would not ae-
cept any of their recently submitted
identical bids for heavy armor plate for
this vessel unless they could show him
cost of production figures to justify
their prices.
"I feel sure that Congress viii not
fail to back up the department in what
ever steps seem best to obtain armor
at lust price the secretary said.
The three companies named have the
only plants in this country capable of
turning out the heaviest grade of armor
plate. Mr. Daniels solution of the prob
lem is the establishment of govern
ment armor factory, and he had been
urging this step upon congress since he
became head of the navy department
and found that the practice had been to
receive identical bids from the three
and divide the contracts be-
tween them.

The Greatest Force Is Being

London, Sept. IA great national
strike threatens the United Kingdom, ae-
cording to trades union leaders. Begin
ming with the lockouts of large numbers
Of workmen last week in Dublin, in con
sequence of strike of members OF the
transport workers union, because of the
employment of non-union laborers, rumb-
lings of discomfort are heard through
out the entire labor community of the
British Isles, but thus far eruptions have
occurred only in the larger cities.
A sympathetic strike of Liverpool
lockers and transport workers on the
railroads there and at Birmingham have
already partly crippled the three great
trunk railways of the midland counties
of England, while the Manchester ship
canal Is also contending with the strike
of lock laborers for better wages. At
Liverpool. seven great freight depots are
idle to-day and Others are likely soon to
be closed for want Of traffic.
Peace seems a long way off betweeri

FIRE PATROL GETS IN WORK.
Discovered Blaze Early at the Marr &
Gordon Plant on Granite Street.

Fire broke out in the boiler room OF
the Mari & Gordon plant off Granite
street last night and had it not been
for one of the recently appointed fire
patrolmen, it is likely that serious
blaze would have menaced if not de-
stroyed not only the stoneshed, but
other buildings in that congested sec
tion. Special Officer j. c. DeI3rune hap
pened along his beat just about the tin
the fire had communicated to a pp
sawdust lying near the boiler ..>sN
fled the fire station by tele- 4 id
the auto truck made one 30 iying
trips down North Main tS et and
around the Granite street corner. Two
tanks of chemical solution were gunned
at the fire, which threatened to mount
to the roof even as the firemen made the
first hurried assault on the outbreak.
While a portion of the regulars start
ed to smother the flames spreading
around the boiler, Others fell to the
work of removing the sawdust and a
pile of iron bags which had also become
ignited. There was quite a. warm time
around the boiler room for while, but
the efforts of the firemen began to tell
and within twenty minutes every spark
had expired. The damage is trivial 1t
is thought that the sawdust over the
boiler became heated from the fires
banked below The auto truck left the
station at $40 o'clock.
Firemen say that another five minutes
would have seen one section OF the
stonesheds in flames With such de-
lay, they say, fire of serious proper
tions would have confronted them and
they believe that Patrolman DeBrune's
timely arrival was instrumental in saw
ing a good many dollars worth of prop
erty. As one OF the nine special officers
designated to patrol the manufacturing
district on account of the water short
age, he was assigned to duty in the
Granite street section last night.

BULLETS FLEW ON BROADWAY.
Gangs of Gunmen Renewed Their Feud
on Two Occasions.

New York, Sept. l4.-Gunmen, said by
the police to be members of rival gangs,
whose activity in the primary election
yesterday led to the renewal of an old
feud engaged in revolver duel while
seated in two automobiles standing on
upper Broadway just as nearby
theatre matinee crowd swarmed into the
street.
The attacking party of seven, after
firing on three men in the other car half
a block away, and being shot at in re-
turn, attempted to speed away, but were
overtaken by traffic patrolman in a
taxicab. Three men jumped from the
car and escaped. Four, including the
chauffeur, were arrested and locked up,
charged with attempted felonious as
sault and violating the concealed weap-
ons law. No attempt was made TO cap
ture the members of the beseiged
party. So far as could be learned none
of the gunmen were injured.
According to the police the shooting
is an outcome of the primary fight in
the 18th assembly district between
rivals for the Democratic leadership.
They say the four men under arrest are
members of the "Jaek Sirocco gang" and
that they had opened fire on members of
the Hudson busters" and the Rose
gang"
A search of the captured car revealed
under a rug in the tonneau six packages
of typewritten slips, containing more
than 300 names, supposedly of voters in
the eighth assembly district downtown.
and the police are working on the theory
that the men arrested are "repeaters,r -
who after voting in the lower part of
the city went up to the 18th assembly
district to work" the primary there in
the same way.
It became known last night that the
shooting, which resulted in the arrest
of the four men early in the evening,
was the second of the day. In mid
afternoon the same two automobiles met
on west 69th street and their occupants
started TO "shoot up" each other Three
men are said to have been injured, es-
