CONTROLLER SEEKS
BANKERS ADVICE
Payment on City Bonds and
Notes Held Abroad Must
Be Made ShO~tiv.

Controller Prendergast went to the
financial district yesterday to confer
with bankers regarding payments of
those portions of city notes, revenue
warrants and bond interest which are
due abroad in a short time. The Con-
troller had a long conference with j.
P. Morgan, and subsequently Otto H.
Kahn. Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., called on
Mr. Morgan.
Mr.. Prendergast refused to discuss
the object of his mission TO Wall St,
but, commenting on the effects Of gen
eral financial conditions upon the city's
administration, said:
"The city will not stop any work al
ready under way, and / do not believe
the general financial situation will
make il necessary for any marked re-
trenchment, but no new work viii be
undertaken until the financial atmos-
phere clears somewhat.
There were no developments yester-
day in the arrangements for the estaD-
lishment Of English credits here SIM
Ilar 10 those adopted by the Bank OF
France with J. p. Morgan q Co. IL
was considered probable, however, that
the payment Of city maturities in Lon
don may be taken up in connection
with the establishment of London cred
its in New York, the bankers here TO
arrange for funds TO draw on in London
concurrently with the institution of &C
counts at London's order in this city.
New York City has approximately
SO 100000 Of revenue warrants matur-
ing before October ], which are held
abroad for the most part.

GLYNN'S SHYNESS
IRKS DEMOCRATS
Backwardness in Coming Out
for denomination An
noys Leaders.

Democratic state leaders are much
annoyed because Governor Glynn has
not declared that he would be a candi-
date to succeed himself. 1t has held
up the entire situation in the organiza-
ton and prevented the advancement of
candidacy for other nominations. How
ever, il was said yesterday such an an
nouncement is expected within a few
days, after which work will be started
at once on the petitions.
Some time ago T.. +. Perkins, of
Poughkeepsie, after a conference with
the Governor, declared he was author
lied to say that Governor Glynn would
consent to accept a denomination, If hio
friends desired it. There was no rush
TO force the Governor into the race,
and he has kept silent However, no
ether candidate has come forth and
the general opinion is that Governor
Glynn will have 70 run. At present he
is concealed in the Adirondack forests.
The Senatorship situation in the
Democratic party is still IN the air,
with no active candidate in sight. Ii is
more than probable that the Saratoga
conference on August 20 will have TO
decide on putting somebody IN the
field.
W lllldm OuuTCn ObDOIUf CudltlHdu "
the state committee, returned yester-
day from visiting the organizations in
the northeastern counties. He said he
found them trying TO make the direct
primary law work. They are full OF
harmony, but have no ideas as to candi-
dates.
Mr.. Osborn had conference at the
Biltmore Hotel yesterday afternoon
with William f. McCombs, chairman Of
the national committee, who has been
looking over the Congress situation in
the West. He has returned to help
whip the Democratic platform into
shape and will spend the remainder of
the week talking with the various mem
bers of the subcommittee.
Capitalization or power in the state
government will be one of the features
of our platform" said Mr.. McCombs.
81 believe that all the state officers ex-
cept the Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ornor and possibly the Controller
should be appointed by the Governor
That would centralize power in him
and he would be responsible to the peo-
pie. We also believe that the terms of
ell appointiye officials should be CO.

WOMEN PRAISE
"BECKY'S" STAND
Workers and Club Lead
ers Condemn Miss Davis
for FOrcible Feeding.

Little sweatshop workers from the
East Side and women who know only
the brighter side Of life together at
tended a mass meeting of women at
Murray Hill Lyceum last night TO pro-
test against the Imprisonment and
forcible feeding of Becky Edelson.
Resolutions condemning Miss Kath-
crime Davis, Commissioner of Correc-
ton, were introduced. Mrs. Rose Pas
tor Stokes, who presided, put an amend
ment to the resolution TO a vote, but
failed TO put the resolution itself,
which was introduced by Miss Alice
Carpenter The amendment put the
responsibility for forcible feeding and
any harm that might come TO Becky
from it upon Miss Davis personally.
James Eads How, sometimes called
liking of the noboes," introduced an
amendment TO the amendment brand
ing Miss Daviss forcible feeding as
criminal and calling upon the state
attorney general TO investigate the
case. II was lost.
The call for the meeting was issued
by a committee of women including
Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Anna Strunsky Wal
ling and two members Of the Women's
University Club, DR.. Gertrude Light and
Miss Alice Clapp.
Miss Clapp, Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Wal
ling, Miss Matilda Rabinowitz, Miss
Lavinia Dock and Miss Elizabeth Gurley
Glynn all denounced the forcible feed
ing.
Mrs. Walling told the audience she
had received word from a reliable
source that in the twenty days Becky
had been on Blackwell's Island she had
not eaten a mouthful and was in pre-
oarious condition.
The theme of nearly all of the speak
ers was that Becky would release her
self from prison through her hunger
strike or die in the attempt. All ex-
pressed admiration for her spirit.
Miss Flynn said Miss Davis posed as
a suffragist and stood for the militant
tactics of the English suffragists.
"But because Becky has not broken
any windows, or burned down am
houses. or destroyed the mails, and has
not violated any law, Miss Davis does
not sympathize with her." she con-
tinued. Enough tears to float a ship
have been shed over the forcible feed
ing of the English sutfragists, who
technically Violated the law, but
Becky, who only protested from a
soap box against the war with Mexico,
is forcibly fed, and Miss Davis and
other suffragists think that to feed her
forcibly is all right"

NOTTINGHAM URGED
FOR GUARDIANSHIP
Republicans Hint He May Pre-
side at Unofficial State
Convention.

William Nottingham, Of Syracuse,
NAV be permanent chairman OF the un-
official Republican state convention.
His name, at least, has been put torth
bv some of the most prominent leaders,
and there has been no opposition 70 the
selection. Senator Elihu Root VIII pc
the Temporary chairman, and will make
the keynote speech.
Mr.. Nottingham is member OF the
law firm Of Nottingham & Nottingham
law firm of Nottingham e. Nottingham.
He has been president of the Onondaga
County Bar Association, vice-presldent
of the State Bar Association and is
Regent of the State University. lie
has always taken q prominent part
in Republican affairs, but has never
held public office. He is a member OF
the subcommittee that is preparing the
party platform.
Although many of the Progressive
leaders are still nursing a grievance
because Colonel Roosevelt has insisted
upon the nomination of Harvey d. Hin
man, a Republican, for Governor, none
of them is planning a revolt.
However" said one of them yester-
day, 1--WE do not believe Hinman can
carry the Republican primaries. If he
does not he will still have 10 run at
the head of our ticket, and many Hin
man Republicans will vote for him on
the Progressive ticket. That will give
us a big vote, which we would not get
if we ran a Progressive for Governor"
Friends of Representative William
NJ. Calder have been trying to get the
Republican leaders in Manhattan to
come out for him. Although Samuel 5.
Koenig, president of the county COM
mittee, does not believe 1t wise for him
to take any public stand on the matter,
there is feeling that New York
County ought to support Calder if for
no other reason than the fact that he
is opposing former Speaker Wads-
worth, the Barnes candidate.
With New York as we'll as Kings
County behind him Representative
Calder would go into the primaries
with a big advantage. He is devoting
himself at present TO the upstate
counties. Rockland and Nassau already
have declared for him.
Reports from Erie County say that
the Greiner organization there is stand
ing firmly behind District Attorney
Whitman. 1t is expected, however, that
a Hinman representative will start a
campaign there within a few days
Friends of Job Z. Hedges say that his
strength has increased considerably
since the Human boom was sprung
Some of the anti-Hinman leaders fear
that their strength may be so evenly
divided that Humans nomination will
be assured.
II has been suggested that there be
. .aoI;4;or f,f forces thouoh that thi
will be done is not thought probable.

0. |. MILLS In RACE
FOR STATE SENATE
Seeks Republican Nomi-
nation from 18th Sen
atorial District.
NO OPPOSITION
IN SIGHT NOW
Herrick Announces He Will Not
Ask Reelection to Office
He Holds.

Ogden L. Mills, treasurer of the Re-
publican County Committee, has an
nounced that he will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for state
Senator from the 18th Senate District
in the primaries on September %.
This district includes all of the 25th
Assembly District, of which Frederick
c. Tanner is leader; the 9th, of which
Joseph w. Spencer is leader, and the
Goth, of which William Chilvers is
leader. The latter is the district in
which Mr.. Mills lives.
Assemblyman Francis r. Stoddsrd,
of the 25th, had aspirations to be pro-
NOTED to the Senate this year, and it
looked for time as if there would be
contest. He has decided, however,
to run for the Assembly again, and
Mr.. Mills is not likely to have any OPP
position in the primaries.
For four years the district has been
represented by Democrat. The pres
r. Herrick. He succeeded John God
frey SAKE, now the legal adviser of
Governor Glynn. Before 1910 George
B. Agnew, a Republican, represented
the district.
Senator Herrick has announced that
he will not be a candidate for re-slec-
ton. No one has come out for the
Democratic nomination, nor has any
Progressive announced his candidacy
for the place.
After he was graduated from Har-
ward University Mr.. Mills started his
political career as an election district
captain in the Goth District. Since 1910
he has been treasurer of the county
committee. In 1912 he ran for Congress
in the 18th Congress District, Demo-
cratic stronghold. He has been promi-
nent in the anti-Barnes wing of the
party and was instrumental in securing
the election of Thadders c. Sweet as
Speaker in opposition to the Barnes
candidate.
Mr.. Mills explains his candidacy for
the Senate nomination on the ground
of his ambition to render public and
party service in a large sphere"

Mr.. Metz said. All aniline dyes are i'm
ported. These importations have
ceased, and IL is only a question OF
time before factories must close oil
adapt themselves to conditions Of fifty
years ago, when logwood dyes from
South America were used
With others, Mr.. Metz is inclined tc
think that the present situation is only
temporary. The Rhine is still open
and, although her factories are not
running. Germany has plenty OF drugs
and dyes to supply the world for
months. Mr. Metz sees no reason why
importations in Dutch bottoms should
not begin almost Immediately.
In response 20 an urgent cable mes
sage Mr. Metz got the following an
swer from Brussels yesterday: ship

Print Cotton Affected.
News came yesterday of the closing
OF several print cotton mills and the
ourtailinR of the product Of many 9TH
ors. Several mills in the South have
declared n two weeks vacation" for
their hands. Silk mills, woollen mills
and paper and leather manufacturers
also will feel the pinch soon.
Local hat manufacturers declared
yesterday that they were being ap-
preached by buyers who had hitherto
dealt entirely in imported goods IL
was said that when substitute had
been found for the German dyes the
American made hat would come into its
own; that already factories we're being
run at capacity by owners who had a
large supply Of dyes on hand.
Several shoe manufacturers Of
Rochester who arc dependent upon
Russian leather have had 20 close their
shops. Manufacturers Of cottonseed oil
said that even If olive oil reached
prohibitive price they would be able TO
supply the entire demand for salad oil,
and that their product had reached such
q point Of excellence that users consid-
cred it as good as the imported article.
Wheat and flour, always in great de-
mand in war times, are rising steadily.
Dispatches from Chicago yesterday said
oats began to climb on the announce
ment that expectation from Canada
had been forbidden.
A shortage of tin for cans may have
a serious effect upon the canning in
dustry in this country. The price Of in
has jumped 100 per cent since the war
began, and there are rumors Of a cor
ner. High prices for tin mean high
prices for canned goods.
Scotch whiskey, gin, Rhine wines and
imported champagne and beer are all
in price.
Countless little conveniences may be-
come Injuries or impossibilities if the
embargo continues. Even the hook and
eye, despised by husbands. may become
a memory. According to Dow, Jones e.
Co.'S bulletin, the entire supply has
been bought up. Hair nets have doubled

enormous quantity, has been reported
by the and 10 cent stores.
