HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
IN BREAST OF SULZER
Governor Still Looking for
Solution of Subway Tangle
Before He Acts.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Albany. Jan. Ex-Governor Sulzer is
hoping against hope that the New York
subway difficulty will be settled before
February !, when the term of Chairman
Wilcox expires. He will then be relieved
OF the necessity of either offending his
friend William Randolph Hearst. or Of
blighting his political future by opposing
the wishes OF Charles r. Murphy The
only pleasure he gets out OF the subway
ENHANCEMENT is when reports are brought
10 him that the New York authorities and
the Public Service Commission are MAX
ing progress in their negotiations. He
said to-day he was pleased that they
were making efforts TO reach a quick con-
ciusion.
The Governors attention was called TO
a statement attributed to Mr.. Murphy
that the Tammany leader would use hi,
influence TO defeat the confirmation OF
any nominee for the place of Chairman
Wilcox who favored municipal owner
ship. The Governor would make no COM
ment, and refused TO be drawn into a dis
cussion on the subject saying that he
would not cross bridges until became to
them.
Hugh Gordon Miller. John Lawrence
Maine and w. Irving Scott sent this tele-
gram to the Governor to-day:
Representing large number of tax
payers Of the city Of New York, we earn
estly urge that the very reasonable re-
quest of the Mayor. maJorities OF the
Boards Of Estimate, Aldermen, and others
TO allow Chairman Wilcox to hold over
for a reasonable time to conclude the
subway negotiations be granted"
Asked II George M. Palmer. chairman
OF the Democratic State Committee, was
a candidate for the position OF Public
Service Commissioner to succeed Frank
w. Stevens, chairman of the I'd District.
the Governor replied: He Island so are
1852 others"

PRAISE FOR SUBWAY PLAN
Col. Williams, of the B. r. T.,
Calls It Best in History of City.

The Brooklyn Board of Real Estate
Brokers held its seventh annual dinner at
the Brooklyn Club. Pierrepont and Gin
ton streets. last night. The speakers were
Judge Frederick f. Crane. Frank Bailey.
vice-president OF the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company; George V. S. Williams,
Public Service Commissioner, and Colonel
Williams. president of the Brooklyn Rap
id Transit Company.
Color el Williams said that the proposed
subway contracts represented no busl-
ness advantage for the marlborough.
AT no time in the history of the city,
he declared, has such comprehensive
plans for the betterment of traffic condi-
lions been evolved in New York. II they
are put through. it will be due to the
unity with which Brooklyn people have
supported them.
The criticisms of the contracts are not
properly criticisms; they are deliberate
attack on the whole scheme of private
operation, made by those who would work
a political issue out OF the urgent demand
of the people for transit relief. This at
tack was started months ago. when Mr..
Shearn. representing Mr.. Hearst. gave his
objections to the contracts at a meeting
OF the Public Service Commission with the
Board OF Estimate"
A resolution asking Governor Sulzer to
use his influence 10 insure the ratification
Of the contracts was passed by close
vote.

men Wants All to Help
Crush System"
WITH WHITMAN AT DINNER
Men Prominent in Big Business
Affairs Join in Compli.
mentary Feast at
Hotel Aston.

Some one said at the complimentary
dinner rendered last night to Assistant
District Attorney Frank Moss, at the Ho-
tel Astor. that the only men who might
be regarded as rivals In New York at
present were District Attorney Charles s.
Whitman and Frank Moss, but they were
sitting side by side, apparently making
the most of each others society all
through the dinner.
More than five hundred New Workers,
whose names spell big things In the bust
ness and professional world. united in a
non partisan way to honor Mr.. Whitman
assistant. who conducted the trials Of
Lieutenant Becker and the gunner last
season. Such men as Henry Clews, An
drew Carnegie, r. Fulton Cutting, Il. j.
Greenhut, Seth Low, John G. Milburn,
George w. Perkins. william A. Prender-
CAST, Henry W. Taft Jacob II. Schiff.
Isaac N. Seligman and Rabbi Stephen s.
Wise appeared on the committee list.
John Temple Graves was POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Moss, on rising, said he thanked
God for his friends. AS for them, he
only hoped that they would continue to
love each other. He didn't expect such
magnificent compliment and he doubted
very much whether he really deserved 1t.
The burden OF his rather modest remarks
was the necessity for burying politics and
creeds, for the publication and enrich
ment of New York, which, Mr.. Moss de-
cleared is the heart OF the nation.
From this city go out the impulses that
affect the life of the entire nation" he
said. "a man may do more for his
country to-day by putting his energies
into the work of good citizenship in New
York than on the real field of battle.
1T Is not so much that such and such
a man shall be elected 20 such and such
an office" he continued; rather II IS that
the people shall come together, united by
a common bond-no longer divided by the
oldtime lines-to advance. TO increase the
honor and wealth Of our city. Here is
plain. practical programme-even II i may
call IL a vislon-and the hold which II has
been gaining in my heart and life these
years is growing stronger, and In this
you have the word that it is my privilege
to say to you tonight.
Evil forces are at work all the time in
this city. And they work together. The

ing-neither differences OF race, religion
nor politics Its members work together
They work for mutual protection, and
they draw our young men and young
women down. taking them even out OF

Car Traffic Tied UP.

The collision paralyzed not only the
Third Avenue Elevated Railroad, but
the surface service on Third avenue as
we'll. The current was shut off on the
elevated structure by the accident, and
every train from City Hall to 10th
street and Third avenue was stopped
wherever il was at the moment. The
thousands in those trains had to walk
along the elevated structure to, reach
the stations and get to the streets.
II was not until $50 o'clock that the
streetcar service on Third avenue below
42d street could be resumed. AT the
place Of the accident debris had barred
the tracks and the position Of the de-
molished cars made traffic dangerous
until then.
The service on the elevated was re-
sumed at SOP p. NJ. The burned cars
had to be lifted and replaced on their
trucks, and the work was difficult be-
cause Of the narrow space available
and the position Of the burned cars.
John NJ. Gleason, the policeman killed,
lived with his mother and three broth
ers. william, twenty years old; Joseph.
eighteen. Aloysius, seventeen, and his
little sister, Loretta, at No. 341 East
1880 street Nine years ago his father,
William G.. Gleason, who had served in
the Fire Department for twenty-five
years was killed by Third avenue
car which crushed him against an 81"
pillar at 34th street
One of his brothers has epilepsy and
the earnings of the other two are in
sufficient to sustain the family, which
was wholly dependent upon the police
man.
Gleason applied for a position on the
force on March II. 1911. He was APP
pointed on December II. 1912, and at
tached to the Macdougal street station.
He left home at . o'clock yesterday At

She was hurrying back to The Bronx
to a hall at l74th street and Washing

Taper, was TO be married al 4 o'clock.
When that time came and his sister did
