Mitchell Dehes Doctor
And Carries Fight to
Hylan's Strongholds

In defiance of his physicians order
Mayor Mitchell last night undertook
the most arduous speaking tour Of the
campaign. He made four addresses in
Coney Island and various parts OF
Brooklyn, and finally, his voice worn
perilously near TO speechlessness, he
carried the fight into the heart of the
Tammany and Hylan strongholds Of
brooklyn at his two last meetings.
Of all the rallies at which the Mayor
has spoken the half dozen gatherings
last night gave him the warmest greet
ings, in appreciation of his grit IN
keeping strictly to his schedule in spite
o. his throat ailment. They approved
of his fiery, though husky, attacks
agains. Hylan, Hearst and Murphy.
Within a stones throw of the site
Of Dreamland Park, at Stauch's Coney
Island, the Mayor localized his issue
bv defending his share in the purchase
OF the park He asserted that, IN d.
rect contradiction of Judge Hylan's
charges that the purchase price was
cxorbitant, he had appealed the award
granted by the appralsing comml slson,
and had had 100000 cut from this
award.
THAT is the favor that my admins
tration did TO the owners of the prop
erty," said the Mayor, land that is the
extent of the truth of the malicious
SANDERS and lies that have been ut
tered by Judge Hylan and his friends
in this campaign concerning my con-
nection with the Dreamland purchase.
Large turnouts of Home Defence
Leaguers were present at all OF the
meetings last night and joined in the
cheering. Before entering the third
meeting place. the Exempt Firemen' S
Hail at Bay Ridge Avenue and Third
Avenue, Mayor Mitchell consulted with
his advisers, including Commissioner of
Licenses Bell, and decided TO continue
the tour. He had stayed with his ply
stefan to the very last minute before
starting out, and delay OF half hour
in the schedule was caused by this
eleventh hour treatment. .
THE Tiger is on the Bridge to-day,
/ the Mayor declared at his second meet
: ing. Public School 1853. Bay Ridge. He
pronoses to enter Brooklyn for all he
represents for raids on the public

public service"
Detailing Judge Hylan's connection
with the Black Diamond Automobile
exposure and his associations with
/ Turner and Whitney, two OF the mer
he cited as character witnesses, Mayor
I Mitchell said:
"Judge HyIan, not having suggested
tho tyne of man he proposes 10 appoint

record and his past associations.
wonder if the people are prepared tt
mt this man in Office ard to hope that
he will not appoint a Wni.ney as Polio,
. Commissioner, the man who is go
between of disreuptable escorts and
corrupt police officer.
81 do not think you would like the'
Mr.. Turner, we will say, for City
/ Chamberlain, to have on deposit with
him and the care of the vast funds Of
the city. Judge Hylan must appoint q
