The charter conventions proposal is to elect not

Motor hats that mark the transition from summer to fall are launched be- fore that time is near; for the motor hat must suit itself to all seasons. The new ones are of fabrics-silk, wool, felt and a newcomer that looks like thin, black patent leather, but is something else. It Is used in con- bination with the other fabrics in the body of motor hats, in trimmings and in entire hats. It is as pliable as rib bon, appears to be waterproof, and adds much character and brilliance to hats for motor or outing wear. Nearly all the new models have nar- row dropping brims and crowns lit tie less soft than those on summer hats. This results in hats of more dignity than is possible in very soft crowns. But there is nothing rigid or hard about the new arrivals. Three of them are pictured in the group above, any of them may be worn with or without veil.
 The hat in the center has grace full and fairly wide brim faced with white crepe. The hat is of dark gray taffeta and is worn with coarse m shed silk veil in purple. The crown is puff laid in plaits and supported by crinoline. The brim edge is soft , ened by narrow plating of the silk. 1 The hat at the left is of silk 1er-

N. Y. MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN.

New York, Sept 22.-Since the pri- mary was held in Which JohnY Pur- roy Mitchell was renominated to sue ceed himself as mayor, political lead CTS are lining up for the election in November.
 The campaign is going to be a straightout fight between the Fusion ticket, headed by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, and the Tammany ticket, headed by Judge John F. Hylan as the candidate for mayor.
 The term illusion" doesn't amount to much, it is admitted, because the Mitchell ticket is overwhelming Re publican, and the Hylan ticket is straight Democratic.
 Judge Hylan, the Tammany- picked candidate for the mayoralty is 49. He was born on a farm and worked as a section hand on railroad upstate. Then he came down to the city, got job on the old Brooklyn ''L" road as a fireman, and worked his way to that of engineer. While thus employ ed he studied law at New York uni | versity. President Wilson, then professor of constitutional law in that institution, was one of his instructors. He ran his engine on the "L" road at night and studied by day. When he got his degree he went into practice in Brooklyn, and was eventually elect ed county judge, polling tremendous vote.
 John P. Mitchell, the illusion" candi- date for reelection to the mayoralty will have on his side all the anti Tammany elements of the electorate with the exception of the Socialists, who intend to run and support Morris Hilluit. Mir. Mitchel's chief asset as a candidate will be the record of his administration since he became mayor in January, 1914.
 MT. Mitchell is of a well-known IT. ish family, his father having played an important role in the early efforts of Ireland to obtain home rule. Ht grew up in New York, went to Ford ham college, then studied law a lColumbia university, and not long af lter his admission to the bar had s year of exeprience in the office of tn citys legal department.
 In 1907 MT. Mitchell was named a commissioner of accounts by hi predecessor in the office of mayor, ant after holding this place for two years became president of the board of a dermen, and there remained fou years.
 Then followed brief term in tn federal service as collector of tn port of New York. He was electe
 mayor in 1913.

sey over a flexible frame and is trimmed with a felt and chenille orna- ment. A thin chiffon veil falls from the brim, covers the face and encir- cles the throat. At the right hat of gold-colored felt has it's top crown of the black leatherlike material and a binding of it. A button to match fas- tens down black silk cord ending in a black silk tassel. This is vivid and very becoming hat. All three of these are so designed that wind or weather will do them small harm, and they are more than presentable for street wear.
 The story of motor veils is brief, they are of thin chiffon, or silk mesh, and not very long. Green and purple are among the best liked of the bright CT colors but often they match the quiet colors of the hats which they finish.

GUILTY IS VERDICT
AGAINST MEX SLAYER
Murderer of Neil Cross is
Found Guilty by Jury in
Criminal Court.
MAY GET LIFE SENTENCE

Guilty" was the verdict returned
by Jury before Judge Sears, in GRIM
inal court, in case of Macario Peres
Romers, a Mexican, rs years old,
charged with the murder OF Cornelius
F. Gross, a. special officer for the
Northwestern railroad. The statutes
provide life Imprisonment. The state
had asked forsthe death penalty.
Romers was one Of three Mexicans
surprised by Officer Cross on the
night of January Fl while they were
in the act OF robbing a freight car in
the Omaha railroad yards. The Off
Ger, though fatally wounded by bull
let fired by one of the robbers, re-
turned the fire, emptying his revolver
in the direction of the fleeing Mex
leans. Romers was captured later,
three bullets being found in him. He
is still weak as aresult of his wounds.
Pal Gets Twenty Years. -.
Julian Lopez, alias Julian Gonzalas,
one of the alleged robbers, pleaded
guilty to a charge of second degree
murder several weeks ago and was
sentenced TO twenty years in the peni-
tertiary.
Miguel Aguirre, the third member
of the trio, who was introduced by the
state as a witness, will be tried later.
.Aguirre's attorney objected to his
testimony being taken, arguing that
it would be violation of his constitu-
tional rights. Judge Sears sustained
the objection. He will be tried later
on a charge of murder.
Mrs. Allan Cross, mother of the
murdered officer, and James Cross,
brother, were court room spectators
during Romers' trial.
Romers will be sentenced next week.
