Saws Mccall Confirms Sulzer.

Three days ago Mr.. Mccall said that
Governor Sulzer speaks the truth. To-
day. when he can catch his breath be-
tween his sputters he is vehemently call
ing him liar.
But. has not Mr. Mccall himself fur
nished circumstantial and contributing
evidence in support of Suffers state
ments?'
Mr.. Mitchell then quoted extracts from
the newspapers proving. he said. that
he at least had two conferences with
Charles f. Murphy in company with
Governor Suzer. and that he was fully
equipped with information to defend
Murphy from the charge Of having at
tempted to secure from the Governor i'm
proper appointments
Il call upon my opponent" he con-
tinued. Ito explain his relations with
Charles r. Murphy; TO give full ana
complete account OF the interviews re-
ferred 70. and 10 explain the source or
his knowledge Of Murphy's acts and In
tentlons which enabled him TO defend
Murphy from the charge made In the
presence OF Mr.. Plat and Mr.. Hennessy.
1T cannot be unknown TO my op-
ponent that there is in this city
sharply drawn line dividing those per-
sons who are supporters and defenders
OF Mr.. Murphy and those who believe
he is n serious menace TO the welfare OF
the city and the state.
Upon which side Of the line does Mr..
Mccall stand? II he believes that Mr..
Murphy Is uniustly accused. that his IN
10 hgnefigenf and that his luten-
lions and his aims are worthy, / cal
upon him so 10 inform the public.
III he holds the contrary view. ! call
upon him 10 state that he so believes.
There is. l assert no middle ground
Tammany's Civic Economies"
Taking up the attacks which have
been made upon the Fusion Board or
Estimate. Mr.. Mitchell recited the ex-
travagances OF Borough Presidents
Ahearn and Haffen In the last Tammany
administration.
"These serve to illustrate the kind OF
economy and efficient business administra-
ton which Tammany wishes. II wishes
another Metropolitan Equipment Company
TO fatten the pockets OF the Iainmahy
politicians through the Borough Presl-
dents office. and It wishes another chance
TO sell the city another Hunts Point Park
as Haffen did before Governor Hughes
removed him.
Borough President McAneny has thrown
out graft In his department, and is spend
ing less than Ahearn did, while getting
twice as much for the money. Miller IN
The Bronx. is spending 10 per cent less
than Haffen and getting two or three
times as much for the city"
Mr.. Mitchell then went TO st. Josephs

CAD street, where he outlined his intended
