a statement yesterday, saying:
1t has just been brought to my at

Father Of Injunction Taft must
have known that he spoke untruth-

that the American Federation of1abOr

Danbury hat manufacturer"
The statement reviews the Danbury
hatters' case, denies Mr.. Taft's charge
that the hatters acted upon Gompers'
advice. and concludes:

Senes Two Towns.

'By the International News Service.
London, Nov. l.-sweeping down the
mountains from TransylvsnIa Gen. Won
Falkenhayn's Austro-German army has
struck new severe blow against Ru-
manian arms. Battling twelve miles
within the Rumanian borders he has oc-
cupied two towns and. breaking into a
Rumanisn position, has captured ten
cannon and seventeen machine guns.
The advance is taking its course south
ward Of Rothenthurm pass and the towns
Of Rakovitsa and Titesht have been
occupied by the Teutons, according to
an official admission from Petrograd.
Won Falkenhayn here is fighting for a
foothold from which he can debouch
large forces to cut the last remaining
railway links to Bucharest and, advanc-
ing across Wallachla. link up his armies
with those of Won Mackensen on the
other side of the Danube in Dorudja.
The official report from Bucharest to-
day tells Of a further success in the jul
Valley to the westward OF Won Falken-
hayn's main advance. Here the Ru-
manians have taken 600 prisoners.
hHNia' dIhlsslon OF Ihe Austro-Ger-

patches which, for a time, created great
rejoicing here. These reports had de-
clared the Rumanians, striking the in
Naders heavily, had pressed them across

COMMISSION CONSIDERS
REPEAL Of REGULATION
Public Fails to Cooperate with Rail-
way Companies.

Officials in close touch with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission admitted last
night that it is probable that the recent
dullng of the commission compelling
street railways to guarantee seats. or
seven square feet of standing room dur
ing nOnrush hours, will be withdrawn.
The reason for this is the failure of
the public to cooperate with the railways
in the execution OF the order.
Road inspectors found 1t practically i'm
possibly to comply with the order, since
there was no provision for the exclusion
OF passengers who refused to remain out
side the cars.
Today officers of the commission will
make an investigation of the practical
working of the regulations. No inspec-
tion was made yesterday because 1t was
thought advisable to allow the traction
lines twenty-four hours to make their
arrangements.

$4,000 WILSON CASH
BEGGING IN new YORK
Furry Caused by Rumors of Big Odds
on Hughes.
LRx the international News Service

IB~ the International News ServIce.D }
New York Nov. IA brief furry was
caused in the betting market today by
the published report that a group OF
Hughes hackers were offering 10 to 6 on
their candidate y
1t was all a myth, however. When a
Democratic politician with $4,000 to place
on Wilson got into communication with
the Originators of the alleged offer, the
10 to 5 melted to 10 to Z. then to 10 to S.
then to 10 to 9. Even at the last-named
figure the inquirer did not succeed in
placing any money.
While the odds on the general result
continued to favor Hughes at 10 to 9, and
10 TO s. there was a marked rise in the
sporting judgment OF Wilson'S chance in
Ohio. Tex Rickard said early in the day
that he had $4,000 to place at 10 to 9 on
the President carrying that State, but
no takers appeared. A later offer of a
wager of $1,000 against 5000 on the same
proposition found no takers.
