HENNESSY TO FIGHT ON
"Firebrand" Says He'll Not
Quit Till the Grafters Are
"Where They Belong"
FEARS GLYNN ANOTHER DIX
In Speech He Says an Honest
Governor Would Hunt for
Proofs-Likens Mccall to
Shifty Quarterback.

Election Day, whatever else it brings,
will mark no truce between John A.
Hennessy and Tammany Hall The man
who has been hailed as "the firebrand Of
fusion" announced last night at a meeting
in Carlson Hall, College Point. Long ISL
and. that he would go to Albany to-mor-
row morning on the fastest train he could
get to ascertain whether Governor Glynn
rs another Samuel ]. Tiden or another
John a. Dix
II want to say to the Governor OF New
York" continued Mr.. Hennessy. that |
am going TO be on the job day in and
week In and month in. and TO the end or
the year. If necessary, and we will put
the grafters where they belong"
The speaker seemed TO fear that he was
more likely to find a Dix in Albany than
a Tilden. for he said: "Glynn says, Let
| Hennessy furnish the proof OF course,
an honest Governor would not wait for
Hennessy to furnish the proof. He would
go after IT, like Whitman does"
The speaker added: 81 want to notify
Governor GIynn now that he has in his
office the complete proof from A to u of
, the rottenness in the printing ring In Al
bany. and that that proof was obtained
by the same men-Mr Hennessy, Mr..
Scott and Mr.. O'Connor-who obtained
the proof against the printing ring in
New York City for Mayor Gaynor."
"The Soft Pedal"
The hardest blows OF the teller OF a
thousand and one tales OF graft were re-
served for John y. Carlisle. Has the
soft pedal gone on for John y. Carlisle, OF
Watertown?" he said. in criticising an in
terview I'm which the Highways Commits
sloner was reported to have said that he
had found loss OF money on the state
highways. but no corruption.
In Mccall Mr.. Hennessy professed to
see a promising quarterback gone 10
waste in politics. Notwithstanding his
weight" said Hennessy. "I think he
would be n corking and elusive person on
football team"
The speaker said that he had repeated
! ~ challenged Judge Mccall to appear be-
| fore Magistrate McAdoo I'm the John Doe
| inquiry and deny under oath the charges
which have been brought against him.
Hennessy said that his own stand marked
, contrast TO the attitude OF the Tam
many candidate He stated that he was
/ prepared TO make all his charges against
| Mccall a matter Of court testimony.
As an illustration OF the policy which
he had followed during the campaign, Mr..
! Hennessy said that the son OF Inspector
| Mclaughlin had come to him with the
| story OF the alleged contribution made TO
| Judge Mccall by the inspector. Hennessy
said he had refrained from using the
story because he did not possess absolute
proof. He asserted that the fusion man.
ayers had also given Mccall the benefit of
the doubt I'm the matter and had refused
| 10 send out the story in the last days of
the campaign.
Mccall as "Gaynors Friend"
Although the hall in which Hennessy
spoke was a small one. capable OF hold
ing In comfort not more than 500 people.
the farewell speech OF the Sulzer investi-
gator before the thousand people who
gathered to hear him was one Of the most
effective which he has made during the
campaign.
The applause was frequent enough to
allow him to sample his throat remedy
every thirty seconds or so.
The feature OF the Mccall campaign
which sent the speakers foreiinger wag-
ging at its fastest pace was the use of
the name of Mayor Gaynor.
Mccall has come before his fellow
citizens i'm Brooklyn" rasped Hennessy.
and said My late lamented friend,
Mayor Gaynor.' His late lamented
friendn He never talked with him In two
years before his death; but he sat there
In the secret conference at Delmonicos
to do him politically, and any friend OF
Gaynor's In greater New York who wants
to honor the memory OF him tomorrow
will vote against the Tammany Hall
ticket from top To bottom"
John y. Carlisle occupied more of the
speech than Mccall or even Murphy. Mr..
Hennessy explained that he was anxious
to defend himself from the attacks which
came from Albany, not for the sake OF
his own reputation. but because the at
tempts to discredit him were attempts TO
discredit the whole fight against Tam
many.
Hits Hard at Carlisle.
In answer to Carlisle he said:
John n. Carlisle. Commissioner of
Highways, a gentleman who has a very
