Odds 3 to / on Hylan,
But Few Bets Are Laid
Wise Bettors Hedge as Re-
ports Show Mitchell Gain
ing on Opponents

Although betting odds on the May
orally candidates were quoted at 3 to i
in favor Of Hylan in the Wall Street
district yesterday afternoon, placing
bets was not as easy as one might have
imagined. The odds remained the
same, but wise bettors became less GER
tain of the outcome late in the day,
end as a consequence refused TO make
bets on any candidate at any odds.
One big bettor, who ordinarily places
$4,000 on the result OF municipal elec-
tions, yesterday said that he had but
$4,000 at stake. At o'clock $4,000
was offered on Hylan on the Broat
Street curb, but there were no takers.
Later the men who had offered the
wager could not be found.
The largest bet placed during the
afternoon was $4,000 TO $1,000 that
Hylan would be elected. Percy Guard,
curb broker, handled the Hylan end,
and James O'Hara acted for the Mitchell
bettor.
c. D. Sheridan, an uptown broker, Of
fered $4,000 even that the Tammsny
candidate would get a plurality Of
10000, but found no takers. Even
money that Hylan would carry all five
boroughs and 81 900 that Hillquit's vote
would not exceed that of Mayor Mitchell,
offered by c. r. Wynne, found no takeis.

East Side Canvass
Favors u. S. Flag
Straw Vote Taken by Children
Shows Only 10 Per Cent for
Socialist Emblem

Four hundred children canvassed tho
voters of the lower East Side yesterday
10 learn whether they were loyal TO
America With the Stars and Stripes
in their right hands and the red flag
of the socialists in their left, the
Youthful patriots, organized into dis
trict brigades by the East Side Amerl-
can Forum, asked the men who wlll
exercise their franchise in the munich
pal election to-day, which flag Will
you serve, the red flag or the Ameri-
CAM"
Harry A. Schlacht, a director of the
association which set out TO see whether
the East Side was still with the United
States in the war, announced last night
that reports of the choice of $4,000
voters had been made 10 him. or these,
Mr.. Schlacht said, 20 per cent clasped
Old Glory, 20 per cent refused to regis,
ter a preference and 10 per cent seized
the socialist emblem. q.
"This canvass undoubtedly proves"
said Mr.. Schlacht, that the vote tor
Morris Hillquit in this election will not
be as large as heralded BY the social
lists. Mayor Mitchell will capture many
votes on the lower East Side south or
Fourteenth Street and east of the Bow
cry"
According TO the officers of the East
Side American Forum, there are only
10000 voters in the district they polled
on the loyalty issue, though the total
regulation is close TO 100000. The
official list of voters in the lst Police
Inspection District, it was said, was d.
vided into 400, and 200 boys and as
many girls between thirteen and six
teen personally visited their respective
quotas Of voters
In discussing the significance of tho
results. Mr.. Schlacht added: "Of course,
this canvass could only approximate
the sentiment of the voters. They viii!
be on trial again tomorrow, when they
vote for Mayor. The Jews OF the East
Side must render their verdict to-mor-
row. Their loyalty is still on trial
And the fight will not end with to-
morrow's election. We purpose TO
counteract the alien propaganda win

Socialist headquarters, : Eas' Fiji
teenth Street, basing its confidence
that Morris Hillquit would receive
100000 votes or more, yesterday re-
iterated its prediction that New York;
City's next Mayor will be Socialist
Our reports from so-ealled doubtful
districts indicate a marked end-of-the-
campaign sweep toward Hillquit," says
a statement issued last night. "The
Hillqui: campaign has developed par
ticular strength in The Bronx, in
Washington Heights and East Harlem,
on the East Side, throughout Queens
and through the more crowded sections
of Brooklyn. During the last week we
have made great gains on the West
Side in Manhattan and have increased
our vote materially in the outlying
sections, such as Richmond and
Queens.
Another district in Manhattan
where We have finished much stronger
than we expected is through the West
Side just below Washington Heights.
Running Even with HyIan
an this section our meetings, par
ticularly the recent ones. have been
tremendous, and straw votes taken in
this section show Hillquit running

Mr.. Hillquit will receive the returns
at his home, pa Riverside Drive.
"Our campaign has called forth a
remarkable public uprising for democ-
racy, for human happiness, for just
and lasting peace" said Mr.. Hillquit
last night. "Under the pressure of the
terrible burden of war and high prices,
the people are turning from the old
parties that have failed them.
Hillquit Praises His Party

the people a human administration, an
administration that would look upon
the city as a great family Of five mill

Dignitary, Back from Front,
Appeals for Reelection

Of the Board Of Foreign Missions Of

reelection of Mayor Mitchell. in the
course Of an address az the board

Carnegie Hall Debate
Breaks Up in Riot
Many Hurt in Clash Between
Socialists and Humani-
tartan Cult

On the programmes distributed at
Carnegie Hall last evening it was an
nourced that Misha Applebaum. found
er Of the Humanitarian Cult, and Dud-
lev Field Malone. chief cid of Morris
Hillouit in his Mayoralty campaign,
would debate the campaign issues.
But the Socialists, who occupied half
Of the house. evidently decided that the
debate should be decided upon volume
of lung power. with a scattering appli-
cation Of physical strength. The act
ual result cannot be stated. as the
meeting broke up after one usher ana
one Socialist aad been knocked out ana
several men, unidentified as TO partisan
leanines, had sustained injuries IRON
policemen's clubs.
Mr.. Applebaum began the debate on
the theory that it was to be decided on
logic and eloquence. He had uttered
about ten words, when his Minis was
disabused by q Socialist, who arose IN
the middle of the house, shook his hst
at the head of the Humanitarian Cult
and shouted something about Hillquit
that could not be understood.
But he appeared to have presumed
too far upon the humanity OF the HUI
manitarians. Half dozen men sud
denly arose about him, seized him by
as many parts of his anatomy, and
rushed him TO the street with such
speed that nobody has yet discovered
the full purport of his remark.
From that time on the debate was
carried on By approximately 5000
speakers. who occupied seats through
out the house. Occasionally the two
official debaters were given an oppor-
tunity TO eject feeting remark, but
these periods were so brief that It was
not possible for either to make any
definite point.
Charles L. Ingersoll, who acted as
chairman, and who had intended to an
nounce the victor. abandoned this in
tention early in the evening. 1t was
unofFiciaily announced, however, that
the palm of victory belonged 10 the So
cialists because of their determination
10 make themselves heard under any
and all circumstances, while the HUI
manitarians leaned slightly to the be-
lief that the official speaker should be
given opportunities to make himself
heard.

The recent unprecedented cool
weather, which lasted over two
weeks, has done much hurt to
young crops. The strawberry
crop was greatly damaged, both in
yield and quality. Young corn
looks bad and is growing slowly,
and cotton is coming up so poorly
that many fear they will have to
pIow up their crop and plant over,
or plant the ground in some other
crop. The weather was particu-
larly favorable to the development
of cut worms and other cool

that they have been destructive,

FOOD GAMBLERS

The high price of food stuff, eS-
pecially Of wheat, has led many to
believe that it is the result of food
gamblers as much as from any
other cause. The sharp rise in
wheat last week drew from the
agricultural department strong
language, depouncing food gam
blersp and, economic parasites.
Carl VrOoman, the assistant Secre'
tary. declared the time had come
for the government to take deci-
sive action to check the upward
trend.
"rhe people will brook no de-
lay,'' said Mr.. VroOman, lin
stamping out the activities Of these
economic parasites. these disloyal
food gamblers, who are fattening
and battening in every city in this
land on the necessities of the poor.
Tho issue as to food control is
clear. II is an issue between food
control BY the government on the
one hand and food controlby spec
ulators on the other. Today we
have food control by the specula-
tors
1t is feared by many, especially
government officials, that if the
government should interfere it
would be unable to reduce the
price Of wheat to any great extent,
because Of the great foreign de-
mand and crop shortage, without
actually fixing prices.
The allies demands for the CON-
ing year are far more than Amer
lea can supply even ii the spring
wheat acreage produces q bumper
yield. The department is looking
forward to a big acreage Of spring
wheat and an enormous yield if
the weather is favorable. This
will give some wheat for export.
