Matthew Hale DenOunces
Attempt to Deliver Party
to Republicans.
DENIES NATIONAL
COM MITTEE'S RIGHT
Acting Chairman Tells Delegates
a Fundamental Principle
Was Violated.

"An attempt by small group OF
men to deliver the Progressive party
organization TO the Republican candi-
date in manner which violates one
Of the fundamental principles Of the
Progressive party is an afront to the
sincerity OF all Progressives.'
This is the way Matthew Hale. OF
Boston, acting chairman Of the Pro-
gressive National Committee, ends his
report 10 the delegates Of the recent
Progressive National Convention on
the action OF the Progressive National
Committee in indorsing Mr.. Hughes.
In the last few days Mr. Hale has
been visitor at both Republican and
Democratic national headquarters. In
his report, made public yesterday, he
quotes freely from kilograms and let
ters sent prior TO the meeting Of the
Progressive National Committee, and
then gives his conclusions, which are,
in part, as follows:
"You. as delegates TO the Progress
sive National Convention, made 1t
clear that you were not in favor Of
surrendering to the Republican party
or abandoning the Progressive party.
when you gave the Progressive
National Committee the right TO fiji
vacancies you did not intend TO give

while che Thompson committee
was closing the period allowed by the
Legislature for taking testimony" the
statement reads, there was coming 10
head a railroad deal which is
greater menace 10 the prosperity Of
New York than the dual subway corr
tracts. The subways will belong tn
the city; the city will recover from
the burdens Of that bad bargain and
may even rccoup ITS losses. But the
New York Central deal, sneaked along
with false representations which have
lulled the city into qu,csccnce, was
almost effected when we just caught il
IN our last week. the arrangements
were practically completed for the
granting Of perpetual rights in the citv
waterfront between Ihirty-fourth
Street and The ship canal.
This deal is linked with the Penn
Sylvania Railroad deal on the South

proceeding under laws passed on the

Two hundred women yesterday made
r dive into live politics. The Republi-
can candidate was on hand TO sponsor
the first meeting of the Women's Ma
tional Committee of the Hughes Al
lance. which opened with a luncheon
AZ the home of Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney at Roslyn, l.. l., and termi-
mated with a reception IN her studio.
Not a word did Mr.. Hughes utter
regarding his stand on suffrage or any
other question. He came as guest
Of honor and underwent tvo-hundred
successive handshakings. After the
luncheon he stood at the head Of the
receiving line and met the women
who had united to support him. On the
line were Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Hughes
and Miss Frances A. Kellor, secretary
Of the association.

Won't Let Old Guard Die
tate How Campaign Is
To Be Run.
1T ASKS EXCLUSION
or T. r. AND MOOSE
Demand Colonel BE
Kept from Stump-Candidate
Firm for Aid to Independents.

rx-Justicr Hughes mas refused to Iet
William Barnes and other members OF
The "oli guard" dictate the plans Tor
his campaiCn. This became known yes
,orday. when the organization OF Ma
,icnal Hughes Alliance went on unin-
,erruptcd. as did the work OF selecting
well known Progressives for places on
the Hughes campaign committee.
The "old guard" has endeavored TO
persuade Mr.. Hughes that his campaign
should be an out-and-out Republican
affair. with no thought of the Progres-
sivos or other independents. The Tor
mer Justice however, has insisted that
the Progressives and Independents be
recognized.
Within the last few days emissaries
Of Barnes and other members OF the
old guard" have called on Chairman
Wilcox and asserted that the enrolled
voters Of the Republican party repre-
sonted sufficient strength TO elect Mr..
Hughes without any outside nelp. Some
of then, even wanted Colonel Roosevelt
kept from the stump.
Intentions Worry Veterans.
These ideas. it is known. are pre-
cisely those held by Barnes More
than once he has told his friends that
he believed if Colonel Roosevelt took
the stump for Nh Hughes he would
hurt the ticket. The opposition Of the
"old guard" to the organization Of a
Hughes Alliance. shows that other vet
eral politicians are somewhat worried
over NJ. HuChes's intentions.
The object of the Hughes Alliance Is
10 join the various independent organ
i7,tions that will be formed 10 help
elect Mr. Hughes under national or
canization. 10 will work in conjunction
with the Republican campaign com
mittee.
The "old guardsmen," however, give
IL as their belief that its organizers
intend 10 have the alliance eventually
supplant the regular Republican organ
ization. In other words, the oldume
bosses think that the former Justice
intends 10 build up an organization OF
his own. and they are worried about It.
Il is understood that Mr.. Hughes
believes that the help OF the Progress
sives and other independents is as es-
sential to lis success as the support OF
the Republican organization, and he is
going TO have it, if possible.
Democrats After Moose Vote.
Coincident with the reports Of "old
guard" dissatisfaction. news reached
hero from some Of the Middle Western
states that the Democrats were work
ing overtime to capture the Progressive
vote. Almost every inducement pos
sible has been offered 20 foremost Pro
gressives 10 line up with Wilson, the
Democrats even promising patronage.
Vance Mccormick, chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee. hopes
90 reclect President Wilson with the
aid Of the Progressives. and he is leav-
ing nothing undone TO do so. 1t IS
eNrccted that the ProcrcsslveS VIII
receive representation on the Wilson
campaign committee. and there is an
organization known As the Woodrow
Wilson Independent League in which
they can enroll. Mr.. Mccormick went
to Washington last night TO discuss
further the personnel Of the commit
tee with the President.

WOMEN TO FIGHT
HIGHER PRICE ICE
Housewives League viii
Investigate and Re
port to Swami.

The Housewives League has ap-
pointed Mrs Egbert V. s. Chamber
lain, Mrs. Julian Heath, Mrs. George
A. Coe. Mrs. Lewis A. Williams and
Mrs. William Lennon, Of Englewood.
as a special committee to investigate
the threatened increase in the price
Of ice. In response to letters sent
by the committee to the Knickerbocker
fee Company and to Nicholas Selyaggl,
representative Of the retail dealers, the
committee learned that the Knlcker-
booker company did not intend to in
crease their price and that there was
absolutely no necessity for an increase.
At a meeting held at the headquar-
ters Of the league yesterday afternoon
a BROOKLYN woman declared that she
was paying 30 cents q hundred for ice
without being sure that she was re-
ceiving full weight Many were pay
ing as high as 80 cents, they said, al
though there Is plentiful supply Of
ice throughout the city.
New York uses two qualities OF ice,
according 70 the reply sent by Mr.. Sell
vaggl 10 the committee. One is Hudson
river ice and the other is ice manufCc-
tured in the city. Al the present time
river ice is sold by cutters at S3 a
ton. or 10 cents per 100 pounds 20
drivers al the docks.
The driver resells 20 the small deal
ers at l9 cents per 100 pounds, and the
retailer. in turn, sells 10 the consumer
at p cents per 100 pounds. These prices
are the highest that have been obtained
i'm the last five years, and AT present
the icehouses along the river are full
to their capacity, and the plants are in
q position 10 turn out as much ice as Is
demanded.
Manufactured ice Is sold in 300 pound
cakes al 50 cents q cake. The driver
receives 65 cents from the small deal
ers. who. at the outside, can sell them
for no more than 90 cents The cost Of
manufacturing cake of ice Is said TO
be only g cents. and river ice costs only
from g so 20 Sl.65 a ton to cut.
I'm January river ice sold for SL5O
a ton and manufactured ice sold at 30
cents for a 300-nound cake. BY June
] the price had doubled for the river
ice and had jumped TO 50 cents for 300
pounds Of manufactured ice.
The Housewives League Committee
will report all the results Of its inves-
LEGATIONS to District Attorney Swami.

WOODBURY. TO APPEAL
REINFORCEMENT ACT
Plans Prompt Action to Settle
Question Before Election.

Attorney General Woodbury. an
nounced in Albany Yesterday an appeal
will be taken as soon as possible from
the unanimous decision yesterday of
the New York Appellate Division hold
ing unconstitutional the provision for
ffty-one Senators. The Court of Ap-
peals will reconvene July II to hand
down decisions. Mr.. Woodbury. said
efforts will be made to expedite the
appeal. so that arrangements for cleo
tion may be made with certainty.
1t WAS said at the Attorney Generals
Office that if the law is finally held
unconstitutional it is not likely there
will be an extra session of the Legs
lature to draft a new reaDportionment
law. Under those conditions the elec-
ton next fall probably would be held
in accordance with the law as II stood
prior 10 the apportionment Of this year.
This would allow ffty-one Senators, but
only one 10 Westchester County.
The opinion explains that the consti-
tuition calls for fifty Senator'S upon
chcn TedppOIllonUtIls the QlSlIlCi> 10
be formed upon a basis Of population
by dividing the entire population, eX-
elusive OF aliens. by ffty. II. however,
in counties having AZ tho time Of the
reapportionment three or more Sena-
tors there are sufficient inhabitants 20
enttle that county % another Senator
one shall be added. In 1907 this WAS
done for Kings.
This. according 20 the opinion, does
not make the additional Senator neces-
sarily permanent, as his position de-
pends upon changes of population. The
reapportionmont act made ffty-one
Senators permanent.
A twelve-foot shark was seen yester-
day afternoon within ten feet OF the

Club when ono OF them saw the sharks
fin cutting the surf.
The three policemen rushed down 20

plainly be seen. Colohan drew mis-

Three shots, he believes, took effect.
The shark dived. reappeared about
twenty-five feet from shore. then dis
appeared and was not seen again.
