HUGHES LEADERS
 ARE WORRIED BY
 PLANS OF MOOSE
Defections to Democratic Ranks Perturb the G. 0. P.
 Guard.

Bridgehampton, L. T., July 18.-Re- ports of Progressive defecttons in the Middle West and Pacific Coast, where MT. Hughes is to make his first ap- peals of the campaign in August, have caused a change in the plans of the G. o. P. managers for his first drive against the Wilson trenches.
 The Progressives are to have a greater say in the various Republican state councils, and their advice is to be listened to with more attention than has been the case in the past few weeks. Orders to this effect have emanated from the Republican na- tional headquarters where the Hughes managers are plainly worried over threats of the Bull Moose captains to "lie down" unless they arc more cor dially welcomed back to the party pow-wows and inner circles.
 To date in several Middle Western and Pacific Coast states there has been no team work between the old bosslets and the Progressive leaders who have returned to the fold. To es- tablish amicahle relations it has been suggested by Everett Colby, ,ex-Pro- grescive leader of New Jersey and meber of MT. Hughes's campaign com mittee, that campaign committees be formed in every state composed of an equal number of regular Republicans and Progressives He will urge this plan at the meeting of the campaign committee at the Hotel Astor, Thurs day.
 Friend7 who have talked with MT. Hughes at his summer home here
 have gone away with the impression that he does not /purpose to be bur dened with the responsibility of set ting any state rumpus between Re- publicans and Progressives over the question of which is to be dominant. The plan now is to have the details of MT. Hughes's tour to the Coast mapped out by the campaign committee, act l ing in conjunction with the Republi- can national committeeman in the states to be visited, but at the same time paying respectful heed to the suggestions coming from Progressive leaders in the states.
 ! Although MT. Hughes's managers are not 1atisf1ed with the manner in which peace negotiations Between the Repub- licans and Progressives are being con- ducted in the Middle West and Pacific lEoast - candidate feels certain that before the campaign gets into full swing both factions will be found i fighting shoulder to shoulder for his election.

WILSON CONTINUES TO GAIN
 STRENGTH, DRAWING SUPPORT
 FROM BULL MOOSE AND COP.

Wilson this year." said Coroner Healy. 'I read over very carefully the St. Louis speech of Gov. Glynn, and since reading that speech have been lean ing a good deal toward President Will son."
 Samuel Kaplan, Philip Datum. John J. Knox Isidore Merlis, B. I. Kisher and Rex H. Morford are other New Workers who have written announce ing their support of MT. Wilson.
 Have always voted the Republican ticket" MT. Kaplan writes, ''but a man like Wilson deserves the support of every real American"
 Their First Democratic Votes
 A. H. KaehIer of San Francisco writes: President Wilson will be the first Democrat I ever voted for"
 A like announcement is. made by J. M. Brinkley, Jr., and L.. Kaplan of Chicago. Another Chicago member of the league, A. P. Rodeur, says he will stand by the President because I be- lieve in his anti-hyphen and Ameri- ca-first principle" Henry Cushman, a Chicago business man, expresses the belief that. regardless of party con- alterations, President Wilson on his record deserves reelection.
 From Portland, Ore, comes a mes- sage from Joel Lucia in which he says the Presidents achievement in giving to the country the Currency Bill is of itself sufficient reason for supporting him.
 That one thing alone is more than the Republicans have done since Lin coln's time," he adds.
 Waltham, Mass, brings to the front Albert G. Dart, eighty-seven years old, who says he has not voted at any election in the last fifteen years.
 "But if live till the next election. '' he writes, "I shall vote for Wilson if I have to be carried to the polls On a stretcher. No living man can say a word against the Wilson Administra- ton except interruptions politicians, hungry for office."

New York, July 1S-Evidences or a drift of Progressives anad former Re- publicans to the support of President Wilson are shown in the letters which are pouring in to the Woodrow Will son Independent League at it's head quarters Madison Avenue and For tieth street.
 Coroner Timothy Healy, while maintaining his membership in the Progressive organization, is an aVoW- ed supporter of MT. Wilson in this campaign and is taking an active part in the work of the league. Samuel Elder, Chairman of the Progressive City Committee in Medford, Mass. 1; NJ. E. Hunter of Williamstown, Mass, and J. E. Brigance of Indianapolis are announced as among other Progress sives who refuse to follow Col. Roose- welt and George w. Perkins into the Hughes camp.
 The statements made by the men named, the league managers believe, show merely the start of what will be a great drift to the Democratic nom- inee Already men in different parts of the country have written that. while they have heretofore supported Republican candidates for President, they will vote for MT. Wilson this year.
 "The greatest President since Lin- coln'' is the characterization various of the writers apply to MT. Wilson.
 Success in Critical Period"
 MT. Hunter, who voted for Col. Roosevelt in 1912, says:
 From my viewpoint MT. Wilson's administration has been a success in a most critical period of the country's g and worlds history. It has proved that crisis can be averted by diplo- matic acts. Wilson has saved this country so far from much more trou- ble than the public knows. He has been and is being abused for political reasons"
 While I am not Democrat, l have decided to vote for President

BOARD OF CHARITIES
 NAMES DIR. TAYLOR FOR
 POSITION OF DIR. PAINE

Though no formal letter of resigna- tion from Dr. T. w. Paine was read at the meeting of the board of charities yesterday afternoon, his resignation was accepted as one of the regular surgeons on tn estaff of the emergency hospital. He went to Bordeaux, France, a week ago to join one of the military units in France.
 According to R. I. Neithercut Dr. Paine had been contemplating the suaded to remain on the emergency hospital staff and did stay a week longer than he intended. Without resigning, he went to France and the only communication received by the board was to the effect that he was leaving for Bordeaux and that the money due him should be sent to a person in Stratford. The steamer Rochambeau opwhich Dx. Paine sail- ed, arrived in Bordeaux yesterday.
 AS the letter was not a formal let ter of resignation, it was not filed by the clerk and at the meeting yester- day Mrs. M. H. Ford asked thAt pr. Paine's resignation be read. There was no other communication from him and Mrs. Ford said that the letter containing instructions about sending his money should be considered a resignation though it had been de- jstroyed. . pr. c. c. Taylor, who at the last meeting of the board was appointed substitute surgeon to succeed Dr. Paine, when he was elevated to a reg ular position, was again selected to elevation in the wake of Dr. Paine and was appointed regular surgeon. He and Dr. J. F. Canavan are now the regular day surgeons and Dr. E. B. Weldon the regular night surgeon.
 Dr. l.. E. Poole was nominated by Commissioner Neithercut for the va cant position as substitute surgeon and was elected. A letter from pr. J, T. H. Powers applying flor any of the vacancies on the staff was received and placed on file.

COMMISSIONERS
 MAY LEASE OLD :. LAKEv|EW HOME
Member of Charities Board Suggests, Alternative to
 Tearing It Down.

Lakeview home, condemned as a fire trap by experts who have inspect ed it, has been vacated as the alms- house for the more pretentious quar- ters at Hillside home and though it is too dangerous and insanitary for occupancy by the city paupers, if plans being contemplated by some members of the board of charities are carried out, the building without re- pairs or alterations by the city, may be rented for occupancy by families who are at present unable to get other quarters because of the high rents. If this plan is not consid- cred feasible after consultation with persons familiar with the housing sit- uation the building will be torn down, the materials sold and the land used as part of the city garden plot.
 At the meeting of the charities board yesterday afternoon, President William F. Behrens, Jr.. brought up the situation of the disposition of the old poorhouse by stating to his con- freres that as it was practically vacat- ed, he believed the board should open bids for the disposition of the ma terials and have the building razed so that the land could be used as part of the garden plot for the new almshouse. Commissioner Henry Harris voiced the sentiment that in view of the great demand for rents, and the high prices being obtained by landlords. the building should not be torn down at present but instead should be leased for a year or two in order to- allow the board to make some profit on the home.
 President Behrens and Mrs. M H. Ford opposed the plan expressing the opinion that it would be somewhat expensive to remodel the building, fumigate it and get it in fit condi- tion for rental. Dr. J. J. Macdonald. superintendent of the almshouse, said that it would be very arduous task to properly fumigate the building be- cause of the numerous air-shafts and the openings in the structure.
 Commissioner Harris said that no expense whatsoever. would be attach ed to the undertaking as the board would not have to spend a cent on the building. but could lease it for $Izoo or $1,500 a year and whoever leased it could make the alterations and nec- essary remodeling. He believed that the lessee could obtain 5000 to $6,- O00- in rents and this would amply repay for any expenditure.
 R. I. Neithercut, the other mem- Der of the board confessed that he had not thought of the matter but be- posing of the old almshouse but be- lieved that the building might be used in the manner suggested by Com missioner Harris. He suggested that the matter be laid on the table until the next meeting in order that the housing committee of the Chamber o1 Commerce might be consulted and the views of the members on the matter obtained.
 President Behrens had no objection to this course although he said that the original intention of the board when it was first decided to build Hillside home, was to tear down Lake. view home and sell the material

DODGE CARS SERVE PUBLIC
y WORKS AT LEAST EXPENSE
Records Show Dodge Brothers Ma
chimes DO Miles at Two Cents

D.
Detroit Free Press: The report Of
the department of public works on the
individual maintenance cost of 81 au-
tomobiles operated by the department
shows the Dodge Brothers motor car
operated by Mr.. John Dunn was the
most economically driven car in the
department. The statistics include
every expense incurred by the cars
from July /, 1915, to December /
1915, gasoline, oil, repair cost, tire
expense, ETC., and show that Mr.
Dunn's car was operated at the low
cost of exactly two cents per mile.
The five Dodge Brothers cars used
in the department also are given sew
eral records which place them at the
top of the low maintenance records
Notion of the 81 used in the depart
ment was run for the six months at a
lower cost per mile than any one of
the five Dodge Brothers cars. They
also showed the highest mileage, the
lowest expense on tires and the
greatest mileage per gallon of gaso-
line Of any touring car in the depart
ment.
Three of the Dodge cars were oper-
ated for the SIX months without any
expense on tires. On the other two
cars of this make the only tire expense
was for the replacement of spare tires
which were stolen from the machine.
The report shows many interesting
comparisons Of the maintenance cost
of automobiles which range in cost
from two cents mile for the Dodge
Brothers car to q cents a mile for
one of the heavy duty trucks.
"Such figures are interesting to
motor car owners and to prospective
buyers of motor cars" said Thomas ].
Doyle, local distributor for Dodge
Brothers cars.
"In these days of the high cost of
gasoline everyone is looking for a
car that can be operated economically
but it is seldom that you can find any
owner who can tell you the exact cost
per mile for the operation of his car.
Such Dodge Brothers owners who have
recorded the expenses for their cars
have found them exceedingly low and
that they were getting unusually high
mileage on a gallon of gasoline"

that the convention is over, the skies
