TAMMANY SEEKS
AID IN VETO FIGHT
Aldermen Bidding for Five
Votes Needed to Upset
Mayors Action

The Tammany aldermen are putting
on their war paint. They want the
scalp Of Mayor Mitchell because he
scoldcd them when he vetoed the cuts
aggrcgating $4,000. made by The
Board Of Aldermen in the budget for
1917 II is n matter Of pride with the
aldermanic braves. They expected the
Mayor TO reverse their action, but they
didn't like 70 be charged with "blunder.
ing" "meddling" and petty politics.
They intend 10 muster enough votes. u
possible. TO override the Mayors veto.
The belligerent intentions OF the
Tammany majority, however, viii prom
ably result in nothing more than rev
war whoOps. II takes sixty votes IN the
board to override the Mayors veto on
anv financial matters, and the Tam
many regulars have but ffty-fve. They
are looking around for five impression
able Republican or fusion aldermen. II
was said yesterday that they had sent
scouts out TO lead some of the Brook
lyn aldermen into camp If it could be
done.
The minority in the board, led by
Alderman Henry II. Curran. believe in
preparedness and are already planning
TO meet any attempt by Tsmmany TO
discipline the Mayor Alderman Cur
ran feels sure that he can forestall any
attempt TO set aside the Mayors veto
as "A whole. but il is considered likely
that Tammany will direct its attack on
certain specific items with which some
of the minority aldermen might be
more inclined TO sympathize.
Alderman Curran is prepared for a
counter move in that event Should the
Democratic members move 70 consider
any particular item in the Mayors veto
Alderman Curran will insist upon the
rule that each and every item shall be
considered separately. He said yester-
day that this course would mean an all
night session of the board, and that
whatever items the Tammany members
might successfully attack, with the pos
sible assistance Of needed five votes,
would be Insignificant in number and
amount.

Meeting Here Plans for a
National Conference
in February
TO BAR ROOSEVELT
AND ALSO PERKINS
Middle-Of- the Road Men
from SO States Invite Aid
OF Liberals

The middle-of-thc-roa Progressive,
intend to stick TO the middle of the
road. About forty Of them. mostly
from the East, but representing IN per-
son or by letter thirty-six states, met
al the Manhattan Hotel yesterday and
arranged for a national conference at
St. Louis late in February to reorgan-
ize the third party that legally died
at the last election in the form OF a
liberal party" in which the leaders
hope the progressive elements Of all
parties will join.
Few Of yesterdays conferrees are
known TO national or even state politics.
The meeting was called by Matthew
Hale. Of Boston, yicc-chairman OF the
former Progressive National Commit
tee. who heads a committee OF hiteen
appointed last September to ANAL,
gamate progressives OF all political
faiths.
Precautionary measures were decided
on 10 prevent Colonel Roosevelt, George
w. Perkins or any Of the other former
Progressive leaders who lied them IN
1912 and led them astray in 1916 as
Hale put from again taking control
Of their political destinies.
Fear Plot for Control
There appeared TO be considerable
fear that such a nlot would be formed;
that an attempt would be made 20 pack
fngTpnN
obstruct the third party organization.
And the applause was general "heh
some one proposed:
"The first man who opposes the per
petration of the Progressive party Will
automatically eliminate himself from
the St. Louis convention
The ST. Louis meeting is 10 be held
on or about Washngton's Birthday at
the discretion of committee TO be ap-
pointed by Mr.. Hale. The latter said
he would communicate with Judge
Nortoni. Of Missouri. who will PROB
ably preside 1t the conference, and
other Progressives Of the West and
Middle West. II is hoped that BAN
bridge Colby, Victor Murdoch. of Kan
sas; John VI. Parker, OF Louisiana, and
many other Progressive leaders OF the
past may be persuaded to join the
liberal party" movement before tnaI
time. None of these men attended
yesterdays conference.
The meeting authorized the opening
of Headquarters i'm this city TO organ
ize the St. Louis conference. J. A. IL.
Hopkins. of New Jersey pledged 500 a
month: O'Connell and Hale pledged go
each. and many others pledged smaller
amounts, totalling about $500 month
10 support the headquarters until alter
the ST. Louis meeting.
A committee also was authorized TO
confer with the liberal elements OF the
Democratic and Republican parties
with the Socialist. Labor. Prohibition
and Woman's party on the formation
Of a national liberal party and to re-
port 70 the St. Louis gathering

on deck at this moment. I'VE will, too" they
cried. They were the two whom Ham had taught
10 wrestle, and were very fond Of him.
Ham carefully lowered the boat and the mon
keys took their seats. "Shove OIL" commanded
Cockswain Ham, and with strong pull and
loud "Ye-ho!" the little boat shot away Ham
held firmly to the tiller and kept the bow pointed
toward the big rollers, while the monkeys ham
died the oars.
"Pun for the shore, sailor, pull for the
shorep" sang Marjorie, encourasingly The
bears had slid down the iceberg close 20 the
waters edge, and stood breathessly awaiting the
coming of the lifeboat.
Careful. now" cried Ham. pull your

Jump" cried Ham. Quick" One Of the bears
made spring and landed in the boat safely
His mate, however, slipped as he was about o
spring. and big roller at that moment whirled
the boat away from the ice. With a loud splash
the bear landed in the angry sea.
Throw out life preserver!" yelled Captain
Noah.
Throw him a lifeline!" cried Shem.
Throw him the anchor" said Japheth who,
must say. was most unsympathetic under the cir,
cumstances. But Cockswain Ham was equal to
the occasion. Leaving the tiller for a moment, he
leaned over the side Of the boat and seized hold OF
the bear. who arose TO the surface at that mo-
ment.

had now regained his equilibrium, and was sit
ting upright in the bottom Of the boat. 1t was
trying ordeal for all concerned. The waves
washed over the little boat continually md being
hampered by the weight Of the bear in the water.
as well as the one in the boat, the monkeys found
it difficult to make much Roadway.
They'll be swamped" screamed Marjorie as
big wave dashed over the lifeboat
Bail. bail. you lubber!" yelled Ham to the
hear in the boat "Let that lazy fellow hang on
BY himself Well all be in Davy Jones's locker
IL YOU don't" At last they came alongside the
Ark. Captain Noah in the meantime had let down
the rome ladder and the bears after three or four
Intellectual efforts managed TO grasp the ropes
and scramble up on deck. After which, the gal
lant crew and Cockswain Ham came aboard and
the boat was hoisted up.
The bear who had been in the water was near
