Washington, Nov. 1.-While the Sen
ate Banking Committee was earnestly
discussing how to avoid panic to-day
the members were thrown into what
closely esembled one, when stream
of water crashed through one OF the
big windows of the committee room.
Firemen, washing down the outside
of the Senate office building with a big
hose. miscalculated and turned the
stream .on a window. With rattle or
broken glass the stream swept across
the room, just missing the committee
table. A magnificent crystal chande-

opportunity to remove further cause

The fusion fight against Murphyism
came to a practical close last night
when John Purroy Mitchell speaking
I'm three boroughs reached the climax
Of his speechmaking at the Brooklyn
Academy Of Music. To-day and to-
morrow he has still several meetings 10
attend. but the rally at the Academy
was the finishing touch which, he 52'd'
would roll up such conclusive Vo,e
against Mr.. Mccall and his Chief that
contractor government would be ended
for all time"
The high tide Of the campaign was
reached when he spoke to more than
two thousand who were packed into the
large auditorium. They had heard
Borough President McAneny and tha
other members Of the fusion ticket pre-
dede the candidate for Mayor and John
A. Hennessy was to follow them in his
exposure Of Tammany relations with
public officials.
Flight Won" Says Mitchell.
Go on. Don't falter" Mr.. Mitcne<
warned when the applause when
greeted him had died down after M
teen minutes. This fight is won, and
the entire fusion ticket will be found
victorious on Tuesday. But don't lee
your confidence lull you to false sense
of security. Keep up the fight. Tam
MANY Hall is well versed in the prac-
tice Of stealing an election, and it ia
desperate this year as it faces crush
ing defeat.
Remember the enthusiasm you have
shown tonight, and IL you do, tell
YOU that the vulgar dominance Of an
arrogant boss and the spoils system
under which he has thrived will be
ended not only for four years but for
all time"
Mccall" he continued, "ls preach
ing the doctrine Of economy and effi-
cheney. He would lead you to believe
that the Tammany tiger is becoming
the watchdog of the city treasury. lie
would like you to forget Ahearn, Haf-
fen. Croker Van Wyck and all the
others, and wants to make you think
that Murphy, McCooey, of the Del
monico Eight" Representative Fltz-
earald and the rest of the contractor
ring represent the principles which he
breaches.
HE tells you the tax values are TOO
high. | think he is right. But wheh
he tries to impress you falsely WITH the
idea that the taxes are fixed by the

wilfully making misstatement OF Is

reduce tax rates wherever IL is found
that they are too high.
This year we have had true ex-
ample of the real kind Of economy
that practised by the Board OF Esti-
mate. Under the four Borough Presi-

ticket the budget has gained but SZoi'-

Leaders Of the fusion anti-Tammanv
campaign pre- ,icted last night the elec-
ton Of their city ticket by pluralities
ranging f.,l I $1,000 to more than 1O0,-
900.
This takes into consideration the ex-
pected vote for John Purroy Mitchell,
4 the candidate for Mayor. 1t is believed
Controller Prendergast will run some
what behind Mitchell, as will Borough
President Mclneny, nominee tor
President OF the Board of Aldermen.
This feeling is due to the opposition of
William Randolph Hearst and the
domination Of other candidates for
those Offices by the Independence
League.
The fusionists expect to carry every
county for the city ticket and elect
every candidate for Borough President,
except possibly in Queens, where Bor-
oUgh President Connolly, the Demo-
ratio candidate, may be elected.
The fusion county tickets will be
elected, they maintain, in New York
County and Kings County. The Re
publican ticket will win in The Bronx,
the leaders claim. There is no fusion
there except on Borough President. 1t
will be a close fight on the county
ticket in Richmond and the borough
ticket in Queens.
Predictions Of Campaign Leaders.
Candidates on the fusion city ticket
and the managers Of the campaign
made their roundup statements and
PREDICTIONS yesterday.
Mr. Mitchell would venture no predic-
ton, nor would Controller Prendergast.
President McAneny predicted $4,000 for
the entire fusion ticket. Robert Adam
son, manager Of the campaign, declared
the fusion plurality would be not less
than $4,000. while the figures Of Ogden
Mills, manager Of Mr.. Mitchell, were
$4,000. Former Senator Martin Sake
Who worked his figures out carefully on
most conservative basis, predicted
thst $4,000 was the lowest figure for
The fusion plurality.
Samuel 5. Koenig, president of the
Republican County Committee; Francis
". Bird chairman of the Progressive
County Committee, and Congressman
William NJ. Calder, manager for Con-
uoller Prendergast, each predicted
100000
Mr. Koenig said the Democrats would
mol carry more than ten OF the thirty
one Assembly districts in New York
County.
Following are the statements OF cam
uioates for the city ticket:

before to the danger and disgrace OK
