NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Even though
the elections are over and everyone is
positive that his guess was right, no
one seemed to hit upon the prophesy
that Governor Glynn will come in for
the share of publicity that Messrs. Sui
ger and Hennessey monopolized during
letup in the troubles of Tammany Hall
Governor Glynn is preparing. it is
understood, a series of searching in
vestigations into various state depart
ments that will strain his relations
with Tammany Hall, if it does not
| break them. He wants all of the graft
| charges being made against the state
| looked into and looked into thoroughly
quiz will not hurt any of his friends.
| but friend or foe, he intends to give
New York a clean administration
For Next Years Budget.
Reviews made of the 1914 budgets
for the various city departments and
bureaus show increases in many OF
them Comptroller William A. Prem
dergast estimates that it will cost
81, 7,010 to run the finance depart
ment next year, $50, 140 less than was
appropriated this year. George Nc
Aneny asks the board of estimate for

Auto Mail Wagon Strike.
1t is likely that the strike of the
mail chauffeurs may help to bring out
some much-to-be desired facts about
the auto mail-wagon service in this
city. 1t has been claimed that the huge |
mail trucks hurl themselves through !
the city streets regardless of life and |
safety. Mayor Kline has recommended |
to the board of aldermen that the city
ordinances be amended to take the J
mail wagons out of the fire and police |
apparatus class and put them under
reasonable restriction. The chauffeurs
claim that they are forced to speed the
wagons because, even with the utmost
haste, they can finish their days work
in less than twelve or fifteen hours.
No matter how hard that part of the
population to whom Christmas means
care and labor tries to put off the in
evitable preparations for the greatest
of holidays, the arrival of toy-laden
ships from Germany calls it sharply
to attention.
While the American mind has been
with the Fourth of July, base
ball and other things associated with
patient fingers in that far
away land have been busy fabricating
he charming nothings which will de-
light American children under the
glamour of the Christmas tree. And
low the fruit of their toll and ingenu-
ty is beginning to pass through the
custom houses in huge cargoes, which
will soon be distributed among the toy
ores and thence pass into the possess
on of eager little one in thousands of
lome
The arrival Of the ship the other day
With 1900 tons of this joy-bringirg
reight warns us that it will soon be
ime to hang up the Xmas stocking and
hat is it already time for the wise
nan to be looking after the things to
% into the stockings.
