Fusion Meeting for
Not Fighting,
Tells of Sons

Mayor Mitchell reached the climax OF
his campaign last night before crowd
of more than u 900 persons in Madison
Square Garden with final expose OF
what he has charged was Judge John +.
Hylan's association with German prop
aganda in this country.
The evidence produced by the Mayor
last night was in the form Of an adver-
tisement in William Randolph Hearst's
'Deutsehes Journal" printed in 1910,
and commanding Judge Hylsn's can
didacy for county judge in Brooklyn.
A photograph of Judge Hylan was
aanked by the Endorsement Of Henry
Weismann of "The Friends of Peace"
and other Germans, who declared that
Judge Hylan is sympathetieslly in
elined toward all things German"
Mayor Mitchell was unable himself TO
deliver his address, his voice being
weak from campaigning. Martin W.
Littleton. president Of the City Democ-
rscy. read his statement for him, and
the big crowd showed its disapprovsl Of
Hylan, Tammsny and Germany in what
amounted to almost a riot OF -displeas-
ure.
Roosevelt Aroused
Just before Mayor Mitchell began to
direc, his FIRE at Hylan, supporter OF
Norris HiIlquit started other riotous
proceedings by demanding of Theodore
Roosevelt, who with Charles E. Hughes
and others appeared at The Garden TO
urge the Mayors candidacy, why he
didn't so over and fight if the war was
so attractive"
The hall was in an uproar as Colonel
Roosevelt, white with suppressed pas
sion referred TO his frustrated at
tcmpts to lead division to France and,
proudly, TO the presence of. his four
sons in France.
Il care Tor their lives thousand
times more than l care for my own"
he shouted, IF you can understand
that, you-you creature, over there.
And you dare 70 stay here and ask an
American fatner what he has meant BY
sending his sons 10 fght!"
Mayor Mitchel's latest Hylan expose
was almost as dramatic in its effect as
Colonel Roosevelt's singing defence OF
his course in regard TO the war
MY voice is unequal 70 its task
he explained 20 the crowd. 81 have
paper wished TO read 10 you. but Mr..
Littleton will read il instead"
Mr.. Littleton then displayed the ad-
vertisement, indicating the photograph
ef Judge Hylan.
Intended to Win German Vote
"This advertisement was intended to
win for Hylan the German vote. the
Mayor said in his address which MI
Lit,leton gave. at is printed in the
German language, but | have here
literal translation Of 1t, which reads as
follows: -,
~Judge Hylan is honorable, capable
and progressive. He is alphabetically
inclined toward ell things German, and
he realizes the necessity OF govern
ment which respects personal freedom
He was, during the last winter, the
only non-German official in BrooSIyn
who had a good word for the German
esuse, and expressed himself IN iavor
o. q strict American neutrality MI
Hylan II a man from the working class
VINO sdvanced himself to judgeShip
through Jealous application. He knows
the needs Of the little man AID the
%orkers Good citizens make no mis-
take in voting for him.
