Publisher Makes Bitter At

Statement

the Board Of Elections yesterday his
formal declination to enter the Demo
cratic primaries as candidate for
Mayor. Furthermore, in a statement ac-
oompanying his declination. he prac-
tically pledged himself not TO become
an independent candidate for election
County Judge John F. Hylan, Of Brook
lyn. remains. therefore, the sole candi-
date of the regular Democrats for
Mayor, and the political sincerity Of
Charles F. Murphy stands vindicated.
Mr.. Hearst's declination and that OF
Frank Moss. who was designated to run
on TIE Bennett ticket in the Republican
primaries for District Attorney, were
the two outstanding political develop
ments yesterday. To say that they
cleared the political atmosphere is a
mild statement of the facts. II is fully
expected now that as result OF them
the final lineup in the municipal cam
paign will be Mitchell VS.. Hylan, with
only the Socialist ticket to create a
diversion of any Importance. The loss
Of Moss is such blow to the Bennett
slate, it is supposed, that it will dis
courage any attempt to nominate the
former State Senator and his running
mates by petition in case they meet de-
feat in the Republican primaries, a
most probable contingency.
Fusionists in Harmony
Further harmony in the Fusion ranks
was forecast by the withdrawal at
the last minute last night of several
Republican aldermanic candidates.
The City Democracy, which supplies
the Fusion end of Republican-Fusion.
had objected strenouously to the solid
delegation of Republicans designated
for aldermen. and 20 placate the or
ganization an accommodation was ef-
fected in the matter between Sam
Koenig, the Republican County Chair
man, and Charles Steckler. represent

dition. the Democrats will receive two
Of the designations for emblymen,
all of which were originally Repubh-
can.
Hearst's withdrawal was fled with
the Board Of Elections at 1880 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. eleven and half
hours before the last minute allowed
for such a proceeding. News OF X was
received with a commendable show OF
imperturbabiljty at the Wlgwsn, where
for days the leaders Of Tammany, big
and small, had been stewing with ap-
prehension lest Hearst double-cross
them and run against Hylan. Murphy
was in conference with his district
leaders at the time. Presently. wnen
he left the conference. he was asked
what he thought of the news. he
said:
mir. Hearst's declination is very
gratifying news. II means harmonl-
Gus effort for the support Of the Dem
ocratic ticket and assures the election
of judge Hylan."
No comment was forthcoming from
Judge Hylan or from the headquarters
of Inc Democratic Fusion Committee
of no which nominated him. on the
theory. possibly, that the whole Hearst
scare should be treated as tigment OF
journalistic imagination. Inere was
evident here, however, as there mas
been in Fourteenth Street. an air OF
profound relief.

Many Ways of Sending

Unguarded
London Says U-Boats
Act on Information

U-boab are working over . wide area,

formation remain good. - hrthur s.
Draper. London correspondent Of The
Tribune, in a cable dispatch describing
the rork OF United States destroyers.
These secret sources remain good be-
cause, among other reasons:
No ultimate steps have been
taken with the 100000 enemy
aliens resident in New York.
The Presidents proclamation forbid
ding them TO reside in or visit certain
sections is dead letter. Another proc
lamstion barring them from all river
and Sound boats was never taken seri-
ously. The United States marshal an
nounced after it was issued that the
order was expected to be "selfenforc-
ing"
- No comprehensive list Of enemy
! aliens has been made by the
Federal auth critics, and the
making OF one is not even contem-
plated.
= No effort has been made by the
government. 70 rid the insur-
ance district of German FIRE in
surance companies, nor of their agents,
nor Of scores of enemy sliens therein
employed. In the insurance district the
spy has an easy field, filled with ac-
curate information as to the movements
Of ships-this despite the fact that
German companies may no longer write
n,arine insurance.
4 No censorship has been placed
~ on the. mails TO neutral coun-
tries, although some neutral
countries are known to De tenanted by
German spies. Much mail goes direct
TO those countries. and thereby escapes
the British censors.
- No censorship has been laid
upon kilograms 20 points near
the Mexican border, nor Florida.
f Only nominal restrictions have
n been placed on travel TO Mexico
or Central American points, in
cluding Cuba.

II means to every enlisted man, and the

clares John y. WHY'S. chairman OF the

AS matter OF face, the reason we
took W. War Camp Community Service
was that II appeared 20 me a most vital

tircly overlooked. as far as concerted
