SULZER AROUSED
BY MOOSE APPEAL
Thinks Neutrality Violated by
Letter Sent to the
PrOQreSSiVeS.

William Sulzer, the contender for
the Progressive nomination for Gov
crnor against Frederick VI. Davenport,
was wellnigh apoplectic yesterday when
he learned Colonel Roosevelt had vio-
lated the neutrality that Sulzer said
the Colonel had promised to observe.
The Progressives do not fear Sulzer
in the primaries-they say they do not
but they thought il wise to send out
letter to every enrolled Progressive
advising him to vote for Mr.. Daven-
port. In addition to that of the Colo
mel, the letter bears the signatures OF
William H. Hotchkiss and Oscar s.
Straus. 1t reads:
THE Progressives OF New York
State owe a duty of leadership to the
whole nation. Their nominee for Gov
ernor should be man whose whole
public life has been such, whose char
actcr and abilit" and standing are
such, that after primary day all right
minded men throughout the state may
heartily rally TO his support Fred
erick " Davenport is such a man and
should certainly be nominated. We
urge you to go to the primaries in
your respective localities on Ionday.
September 2S, between the hours of 3
and p. M, and vote for Frederick NJ.

has been a lifesaver for them. Inc
Democratic party ought to pay all tne
warning nations their full expenses IN
this conflict. Ii has given them JUST
the excuse that they needed.
"But the Republican party Is COM
ING back. and you will find that the
next President and the next House VIII
be Republican. The party has got TO
come back for the good OF the couh-
try" -. 49,,
Mr. Wadsworth pleaded for his can,
diJacy on the ground that practical
r,en was necessary in the Senate, and
that he understood the needs Of the
wCrEIngnlen. ,r

BANKERS TO URGE
GOLD POOL PLAN
Will Ask Federal Reserve
Board to RequiSition
Idle SURPRISES.

James B. Forgan, the Chicago banker,
was in the financial district yesterday,
comforting with officers of the more inn
portant Clearing House banks. and it
became known late in the afternoon
that a committee of bankers would go
10 Washington to-day and urge the
Federal Reserve Board to revive the
plan for establishing a gold pool OF
Sl50,000,000.
Mr. Forgan is head Of the committee
which suggested the plan at confer
encc of the board of bankers from all
over the country, in Washington on
September A. The other members are
Sol Wexler, l.. L. Rue, Benjamin Strong,
jr., president of the Bankers Trust
Company, of this city, and Thomas B..
Beal. Albert II. Wiggin, chairman of
the Clearing House Committee, went
to Washington last night.
The suggestion made on September
4 was that the Federal Reserve Board,
as an unofficial committee, arrange with
banks having large SURPRISES above
their legal requirements to give the
benefit of part of them to other banks
less fortunately situated, Immediate
relief was sought in particular for the
New York City banks, which have had
e bear almost all the burden OF Eu-
ropes sudden call on America to settle
her debts abroad in gold. 1t was esti-
mated that about S150,000,000 would
be needed in fund to take care of
pressing foreign indebtedness, and the
proposal was made that an informal
levy be made upon banks in other sec
tons of the country TO supply the
necessary gold or gold certificates.
New York bankers said yesterday
that the relief of the foreign exchange
market meant the relief Of the entire
financial situation. Rates have latterly
declined sharply, sterling getting down
to 4.94I2 for demand and only a cent
higher for cables yesterday, drop OF
. cents in day. but they are still abb
normally high. and the bankers believe
the Federal Reserve Board by estab-
fishing a gold pool would benefit the
whole country prompt" and without
injury TO any part of ". The figures
nut out by some of the Western banks,
in answer TO the Controllers call for
condition, show reserves heaping up in
the West, where there is no use for
them, at the same time that reserves in
this city are far below the legal re-
Cuirements,
