At the meeting of the Irish American
Municipal Union at the Imperial Ho-

greeted him after waiting until mid

He referred to the fighting qualities it
gave him in his efforts to take out of

Of the Court OF General Sessions, last

HENNESSY WILL ACCEPT
NO FAVORS FROM FUSION
No Political EFFICIENCY Can Make
Him Take Any Office, He
Tells IriShmen.
PROMISES TO GUST CHIEF
I'VE Will Move Into Tammany
Hall on January /, and Move
Murphy Out" He Says
in Cooper Union.

Political gossipers lost one OF their most
popular subjects Of discussion last night
when John A. Hennessy told the Irish
American Mitchell League in Cooper Union
that he would not take office under the
fusion administration. He said that no po-
litical exigency could make him reconsid-
er his determination.
More than ever before the speaker laid
emphasis on the necessity for new DEM
ocratic organization in New York City.
He praised President Wilson, and had u
good word for men in the organization
here whom Murphy has fought among
them James ]. Martin and Maurice Feath-
erson.
I'VE will move into Tammany Hall on
the first of January he cried.
From this many drew the inference that
Hennessy would contest the leadership Of
Tamnany with Murphy in case the boss
loses prestige through a crushing defeat
in the present campaign.
Mr. Hennessy ridculed Murphys state
mcnt that he could not swing the Del
monico group to the support of Gaynor' 5
denomination. The speaker said that the
Tammany leader owned every man at the
conference.

BRONX is FOR MATHE.WSON
Deputy Controller Will Win
Borough Presidency, His
Supporters Say.

Douglas MatheWson, who will probably
be elected President Of the Borough or
The Bronx. is deemed to be we'll qualified
for that office by all familiar with his
work. AS Deputy Controller for the last
four years he has frequently sat in the
Beard OF Estimate in the absence OF Con-
troler Prendergast and is familiar with
its workings Those who know him say he
would be a valuable member OF the board
as Borough President Of The Bronx.
The nomination Of Mr.. Mathewson by
the fusion committee was entirely without
solicitation on his part. Later ne was
nominated by the Republicans, the lnde-
pendence League, the anti-Tammany JEFF
fersonian Alliance and the City Economy
League. August Schwarzler, leader Of the
Progressives in The Bronx, prevented the
nomination Of Mr. Mathewson by that or
ganizaton. as Mr. Mathewson says, FOR
reasons best known to himself and by
means somewhat questionable" In spite
of this fact some Of the best known Pro-
gressives have been active in his fight.
Mr.. Mathewson has made the following
declaration Of principles for The Tribune:
IF elected, | propose to Justify the con-
fidcnce which inspires that support l
think my ideas as 10 the proper conduct
Of city affairs are pretty we'll understood.
city business should be conducted on
sound business principles. Every dollar
spent should produce 100 cents of return,
Conversely, when any one has lawfully
earned money from the city he should be
paid promptly and in full. but no more.

sultlng in special gains 10 particularly
favored interests sho I'D not be permitted.
Public streets and other city property
should be preserved for the public, ana
when for the public convenience public
service corporations are permitted rights

given upon payment Of adequate return.

given the same fair treatment that the
best OF private business houses would AZ

what his services are worth.

city must realize that for A few years tho

office OF the Secretary Of State. Embree

son who gave the contribution tell Hem

which contains the record Of the de-
tectaphone conversations Of former
Senator stephen j. Stilwell in Sing
Sing prison, according to Hennessy, did
not result in as much direct evidence Of

Court Here Has Jurisdiction.

1t was explained that the sworn
statements of the state treasurer Of the
Democratic party, Arthur A. Mclean.
of Newburgh, while filed in Albany
County in the Office of the Secretary of
state, will come under the jurisdiction
of the New York County authorities,
because they were made out at Demo
cratic state headquarters, at No.
West 34th street. New York City.
District Attorney Whitman said he
would ask the chief magistrate to hold
the inquiry in open court. a John
Doe" proceeding, il was said, might be
conducted in open court or in cham
bers. But the District Attorney be-
lieved that inasmuch as many of the
charges to be sworn To by Hennessy
already had been made public in plat
form speeches there would be no OBJ
ject in holding the inquiry in secret.

the estate was asked to pay a fee of
$4,000 to obtain medical proof of
death, 100000 if the medical men
did not have to appear in court, and
$150,000 if they were called upon to
testify. The 100000 would cover
the services rendered in effecting a
settlement, it was asserted
The proposition was turned down
by the family, who obtained a proof
of death from other sources.

FOR STOCKTON

Henry Abrams of Tampa, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis, who has
been travelling in Florida continuous
" for twenty-five years, predicts that
John y. c. Stockton will be nominal
ed for the United States Senate over
Senator Fletcher by a large vote.
Il have found people in every sec

before said Abrams and | am con-
fident that he will win. The people
seem TO have reached the conclusion
that Stockton deserves a reward for
past services in a progressive way
and expect to help him realize his
ambition of serving Florida in the
United States Senate.
'Seventyfive or eighty per cent of
the commercial travellers are not only
in favor of Stockton" continued
Abrams. but they are talking daily
in his behalf, and their number is

CONNECTS BRING THE COIN

Col. r. F. Rogers. who has just re-
turned from Tallahassee, informs
the Star that the state convicts have
been leased at the highest price yet
obtained for them.
There are some 1900 convicts.
over 400 OF whom are women or
partly disabled men. The bids ran
all the way from $240 a head, which
would have been considered a big
price a few years ago, to s3375O.
The price fixed by the state was
s2S3.15 for able-bodied negroes and
$3.50 for able-bodied white men.
The convicts were leased directly
10 individuals and individual firms.
The system of leasing all the convicts
. to one big firm, which sub-leases
. them to others, is at an end.
Mr.. r. S. Hall of Ocala was one
of the principal bidders. and made a
contract for the use of 200 men.
There is a lesson in this leasing OF
men at a high price that the people
should heed. A man who has a
gang of convicts has a great expense
and a great responsibility. But he
can make them work.
The large and increasing number
of free men who take no interest in
their jobs. who work with one eye
on the clock, and are always on the
lookout for easier positions, are in
a large measure responsible for the
desire of capital to secure the work
of men who are practically slaves.
Intelligent and industrious free la
Dor is the best, and is the kind that
capital most desires, but labor that
uses its freedom TO be as dull and
idle as possible is a drag on the
world and more so to industrious
working men and women than an!
other class.
