all depending upon the extent to vhlei
the voters become informed OF the ra
currents and cross-currents in this
most extraordinary campaign
The Mayor is anxious 10 learn wiz
it is that The Stats -Zeitung' is sup
porting Judge Hylsn. He repeats in b.
statement the editorial in this Gerni-
paper Of the Hylsn candidacy ss;'
levels his question at the Riders. as
we'll as at the Tammany candidate
at is not enough" he goes on, TO
say that the 'Stsats-Zeitung IS q
Democratic newspaper. The pertinent
and significant fact at this tlms, ana
with our nation at war, is that the
( "Staats-Zeitung" had on its directorate
Adolph Pavenstedt, the adviser o. yci
Bernstorff, the go-between for Ben
storf and Bolo Pacha in the plan y
which Bolo Pacha tried TO debsueh AZ
corrupt the press OF France.
THE Substituting asks its r1
ers TO vote for Hylan. What has l.
Ian done for Psvenstedt or his frls,a
that the 'Staats-zeitung' should Z"
come to his support?
THE public knows that the Atsf
ney General discovered among Paw,
stedt's checks one for $4,000 NAE
out TO the order of the 'Stas.-Zs
tung' and signed by Pavenstedt y
knows that when questioned as .
this check Pavenstedt declared iht
$4,000 of this amount was contribstst
through him TO the 'Staats-LeI,grf
by DR.. Dernburg.
1T may be safely assumed that D'
Dernburg did not give $4,000 to ~
'Staats-Zeitung' without asslrsafs'
that the papers policy would be ST.
isfactory TO Germany.
Questions for Judge Hyan
81 now ask Judge Hylan. the gid:tn
and Pavenstedt what Judge Hylin -

Again and yet again | ask, Wa
