The Tribune said when Chairman
Mccall left his $3.50 place on the
Supreme Court bench for the Public
Service Commission, which pays only
$1,000, that he did so only after he
had been assured that he would be the
Tammany candidate for Mayor this
fall. At that time, and many times
since, he has denied that he would take
such a nomination. He went so far or
June I as to say with emphasis
II would not accept such a nomina-
ton. Nothing short OF gun at my
head would make me change my mind
Many people were wondering yester-
day what sort OF a gun Murphy
placed at his head.
All Mr.. Mccall would say yesterday
on that point was:
II would have preferred very much
that they found some one else 10 take
il. But when it came to me in the way
that il did could not refuse
Chairman Mccall said he did not
know whether he would resign as
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission. The law does not require him
to do so.
There Is one thing sure" he said, L
shall not resign until l have definite
assurances OF the tyre OF man who
would he put in to succeed me-"
Chairman Mccall was in rare good
humor yesterday and last night. and
not at all put out that he was pressed

Some Stockholders Angry That

$67,552,400.
BULKELEY MAKES ATTACK
Debentures Authorized to Meet
Obligations Maturing This
Year and Amounting
to More than
S40,O00,000.

New Haven, Conn. Aug. 22.--Thc
stockholders Of the New York. New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
authorized to-day the issuance OF S6I,
JJ2, 100 in per cent convertible deb
eIture bonds 10 cancel Obligations that
will mature in the course OF year.
The authorization was a formality
only. and after some argument and in
dignation expressed by some stockhold-
ers was carried by a large majority.
Proxies in sufficient numbers for an
affirmative vote had been in hand for
six days. and the executive committee
had already arranged all details. even
to making the issue over TO a synd.
cate organized by j. F. Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan, who was present. ex-
planned that owing to the state Of the
market it was doubtful if the issue
could be noated 10y subscription.
Somebody is going to make com
mission Of S1.7JO.Oo0 on these de-
bentures," protested former Governor
Morgan q. Buckley. 1T is a wild and
eXtravagant proposition. We hav.
reached a point where we ought to

money"
T. Dewitt Cuylcr, Of New York. re-
piled that the step was necessary t.
prevent a receivership. The payment
of so .OOocco must bc provided for in
December. and tho stockholders could
not take up the issue, he asserted.
High Praise for MeIlen.
The Ex-Governor retorted that tie
public would jump al chance TO buy
the bonds. He lauded Charles s. Mel
len. who hc said. could not be matched
in his work of building up the road.
There was applause at his assertion.
and more applause when he added:
THE financial policy Of this road tor
ten years has been rotten. II Will not
improve unless there IS somebody to
say something about il. don't want
20 see a couple Of million dollars
thrown away recklessly."
4. NJ Hillor. a stockholder, who took
part in the discussion. said he had
heard that the road lost Sl2"croO in
the Oakleigh Thornc investment.
THAT will appear at the annual
meeting" said G. T. Brooker, a di-
rector who was presiding.
other attacks on TIE roads policies
were made by Patrick Murray. Ben
jamin Silverthau. of New Haven. and
y. G.. Davis. a former Commissioner Of
the District OF Columbia Their main
point was the depression Of the roads
Sc urities rather than. any feature Of
the proposed bond issue.
A majority OF the board was present
and Howard Elliott. recently elected
president, sat with the directors. After
the call for the meeting was read by
Mr.. Clarke. the secretary. Mr.. Hitler
asked explanation Of the issue which
was made by MIR. Brooker.

SuIzer Situation a Factor.

The Republican and fusion leader'
argued from a different HYPOTHESIS.
They called attention 10 the tremen-
dous feeling Of resentment against
Tammany on the part Of thousands oi
Democrats who believed that Tam.
many had prosecuted and crucif1ed
Sulzer. Mayor Gaynor. they said, viii
take the position that he, too, was per-
secuted because he refused 10 do the
Tammany bidding The psychology OF
il all. the fusion leaders said, was thai
the resentment against Tammany. oe~
cause of it's treatment Of Sulzer, would
cause those who felt that way to work
and vote for Gaynor.
1t is undoubtedly true that the Mayor
has much material that he can use
against Tammany in municipal cam
paign. lie knows just how to use IT.
and it will have great effect to carry
the Republican fusion argument fur
ther.
Chairman Edward f. Mccall Of th'
Public Service Commission sent word
10 Charles F. Murphy last night that
he had decided TO yield TO the pressure
upon him TO accept the Tammany des-
ignation for Mayor. Then he called
ND John f. Calvin, who is TO be chair
man of the Democratic designating
committee. and said over the tele-
phone:
"All right, John. I will take it,
Herman A. Metz. of Kings, now
McCooey representative in Congress,

but he is a queer man"
Another time Thaw was attracted Ia
the window Of his cell by a sound from
the lane that runs in front Of Sher-
brooke common jail. AS he stood at
the bars looking out. a photographer
snapped him. Thaw shook his fist a,
the picture taker and shouted curses
al him and then hid himself in the
back part OF his cell.
Just what II was that threw ThaW
into the tantrums could not he learned
but II was supposed 10 have been the
fact that he attempted TO give his
lawyers directions as TO how his fight
should be conducted and that they
failed 10 agree to all that he suggested
When ne was not consulting with them
in his cell he sent a great number OF
notes TO them, telling them what 10
do. Most Of these notes were torn up.
This case Is going 10 be different
from the other Thaw case" said a
member OF his counsel. This time
the conduct Of affairs will be entirely
in the hands OF the lawyers without
interference from him.
Although Thaw was giving his
friends a bad day. he did two things
that showed his thoughts were not
entirely for himself. In the morning
he sent a telegram to Mr.. Nanamee,
an attorney in Newburgh, y. Y, ask
ing him TO look out for the interests OF
Howard Barnum. the gatekeeper AT
Matteawan past whom he ran when he
made his escape.
Barnum the day Of the escape was
arrested and locked up at Poughkeep-
sic on a charge Of conspiring to liber-
ate Thaw. Vanamee, who was one oi
Thaw's counsel during his imprison-
ment at Matteawan. was said by SUI
perintendent Kieb Of the prison TO be
the last person from the outside world
IN talk with Thaw, free from the sur
velllance OF prison guard. prior to
the escape.
