Mitchell instead Of William NJ. Ben
nett in the coming. election cannot be
classed now as "irreRulars.' in the
opinion of Emory K. Buckner. the
Mayors campaign manager.
Mr.. Buckner declared yesterday that
the Endorsement Of Mayor Mitchell by
Charles (. Hughes, Colonel Roosevelt.
William II. Taft and Oscar S. Straus,
Hall Monday, should ease the minds
of any Republicans on that point.
In view Of the fact that these men
had told the Republicans to repudiate
Bennett on the ground that this was
municipal election In which party reg
ularity had no place, Mr.. Buckner said
he could not see how any Republican
district leader who was really for
Mitchell could hesitate long in coming
out for the Mayor. That some OF them
will indorse Mitchell Is confidently ex-
pected by the Mitchell managers.
None of the five Republican county
committees in the greater city has
taken any formal action in indorsing
Mr.. Bennett. The committees in New
York County, Queens and Richmond
adjourned without passing any Ben
nett resolutions. There is every indi-
cation that the county and district
leaders are withholding any action un
til the matter has received serious
consideration.
IL is likely that one or two of the
county committees will let the matter
20 by default. without taking any &C
ton The New York County commit
tee is expected 20 indorse Bennett at
its meeting tomorrow night. but Il
Is not unlikely that some of the dis
trict leaders will work for Mitchell.
The same situation will probably hold
good In other boroughs.
That the sentiment among the Re-
publican regulars" Is drifting that
way was seen in the fact that former
Representative Richard Young, OF
Brooklyn, who represents the old line
organization in that borough, presided
last night at the meeting at the Acad
envy Of Music. Further evidence Of
the drift" came yesterday in q letter
of apology 10 the Mayor from a group
of enrolled Republican members of
the Lambs who failed TO go 10 the
primaries.

Murphy Defends
Tammany Hall in
Mitchell Attack
We Are Loyal, Too, He Says
Cites Braves War
Record

Charles F. Murphy in the morning
and Sheriff Al Smith in the evening
replied for Tammany yesterday to the
Mayors speech from the City Hall
steps. John F. Hylan, the Wigwam' 5
candidate for Mayor, remained as usual
in the background and made no COM
ment. He consented, however, to
viva voce interview with newspaper
men at noon to-day.
"Tust put il in the paper that we up
here at Tammany Hall are not afraid
Of the Americanism issue" was one OF
Murpny's retorts. He insisted that
Tammany would support no man who
wasn't loyal and pointed TO the record
for patriotic service of Tammany men
and their sons in this and previous
wars.
Mr. Murphy also paid his respects TO
the "well known out-of-town residents
who stood sponsor for the Mayor and
helped him launch mis- campaign his
reference being 80 Colonel Roosevelt,
ex-President Taft and Alton b. Parker
specifically. The latter he called that
boob from Esopus."
Mr.. Murphy's outgiving was in the
form of an interview granted at Tam
many Hall. AL Smiths was a speech,
his first in the campaign. delivered in
The Bronx at the Mckinley Square
Casino. The Sheriff spoke of the big
crowd who applauded Roosevelt and
Hughes and Mitchell before City Hall
as the usual throng of people using
City Hall Park during their luncheon
hour" Here is his parting shot: "If
Tammany's record is one of broken
promises. read the Fusion platform of
1918"
Mr.. Smith began his address with an
appeal to his hearers to subscribe 20
the limit Of their resources to the new
Liberty Loan.
