OF the Fusion Regime

John F. Hylan. Tammany candidate
for Mayor, in short speech which he
read TO nine audiences last night

In substance. he declared himself 10

"Rockefellerize" the schools, or who

The Judge made no specific reference
20 the advertisement quoted at the
Fusion meeting in Madison Square Gar
den Thursday night, which urged Ger
mans TO support him for county Judge
IN 1915 because of his sympathy with
the German cause. He referred, how

Loyalty or Sedition
The Issue Tuesday,
Says Mayor Mitchell

In his speeches last night, which had
to be read for him because Of the con-
dition of his throat, Mayor Mitchell en-
phasized the Solemn responsibility
and duty 10 his country Of every man
who goes 10 the polls Tuesday. The
Mayor remained at home all day on adj
vice OF his physician, but appeared at
all the scheduled meetings in the even
ing.
At the Star Casino. lOf East 10th
Street, the Mayor appealed 70 "rea'
Americans" not because his patriotism
was one bit stronger than that Of any
other loyal citizen. but because he had
stood and would stand behind the
Americans who have crossed the sea TO
fight for American ideals.
Loyalty the Issue
"The issue which must be decided BY
this city next Tuesday" the Mayor said
strikes at the very lives. Of our sol
diers abroad II is an issue Of courage
or Of cowardice. IL is an issue OF
readiness or unpreparedness. II is an
issue Of loyalty or dsloyalty"
The Mayor called attention 10 the
cabled reports from France. which APP

American soldiers abroad were taking

Any signs that Mayor Mitchell was gain

messages.
The Mayor said that he did not fiat

Bennett Invades
City Hall Plaza to
Challenge Mayor
C. o. P. Candidate Fails to
Mount Steps, as He An
nounced He Would

William ". Bennett, Republican car
didate for Mayor, delivered a campaign
speech in City Hall Plaza yesterday, as
ne announced he would do. but, instead
Of mounting the steps, he contented
himself with speaking from a stem
ladder platform in front OF the CITY
Hall. where he had a permit TO speak
from the Department of Parks.
Mr.. Bennett drew a large audience
al noontme in the Park Plaza. IL
called loudly upon Mayor Mitchell TO
come out of the Mayors office and de-
bate. The Mayor was at his home doc
toring his throat.
IL have set Of questions in my
pocket that want TO Visk you, ne
shouted, "if you only will come out.
The crowd picked up the challenge
shouting Hello. jack" ana Come on
out. Jack" There were prolonge
"boos." followed By laughter and
cheering.
Mr.. Bennett declared that he had
campai gned constantly for three
months and had spoken more times
than all the candidates combined, and
had not lost his voice.

that distant fields look green" said Mr..
Bennett. INSTEAD Of paying attention
to business, Mayor Mitchell has devoted
his attention to drafting legislation
The Republican candidate declared
that he would establish complaint
bureau" in the Office Of the Corporation
Counsel, if elected, TO receive COM
plants from any citizen with regard TO
public grievances. This bureau, he
said, would make it unnecessary for
any citizen 10 spend his money TO bring
an action to have the courts redress
any illegal act or neglect Of duty on
the part of any official Of the city gov

Mr. Bennett made three speeches in
Manhattan last night. He announced
that he would preach the funeral SER

Asserts Mitchell Made "Cli-
ent" Gift Of $4,000
Last Year
"Lobbied for Subway"
Tammany Candidate Also De-
clares Opponent Undertook
to Sell Bonds of Concern

Charges that the greensboro Cor
poration, - client" of Mayor Mitcheps,
has been granted one-third reduction
in tax assessments during the last year
were contained in a statement issued
by Judge Hyisn late last night.
The Democratic candidate says:
II shall now show YOU how client OF
Mr.. Mitchell has been granted tax as
sessment reduction in the last year OF
81 ,033.000, or approximately one-third
OF the value of all its property.
SAYS Mitchell Lobbied
THAT client is the greensboro Cor
poration, which paid Mr. Mitchell when
President Of the Board OF Aldermen
a $4,000 fee for the 500 job of draw
ing a mortgage. About the time ne
drew that mortgage Mr.. Mitchell lobbied
through the Board of Estimate, of
which he was a member. an extension
of the subway which was of immense
value TO his client. II does not matter
that Mr.. Mitchell voted against his
clients interest in order to keep has
record clear. He obtained sufficient
votes of other members Of the board &c
put the job through.
"Mr. Mitchel's client. which we now
find got that $685. 900 reduction in
assessment, is the same corporation
whose bonds he sought to sell in Eu-
rope while President of the Board of
Aldermen, and for which sale he was
70 get a commission Of 100000.
Though failing to sell the bonds,
his expenses. amounting TO $3.50.
were paid, although according TO the
agreement he was TO have paid his
own expenses. When one OF these
bills of Mr.. Mitchers was presented
the treasurer refused to sign the
check. stating as his reason that II
was improper TO pay such a bill to a
public official who was called upon TO
pass on public matters affecting the
corporations property. The check was
later signed by other officers of the
corporation.
"a Gift Of $4,000"
"The Greensboro Corporation owns
100 pieces of property near Elmnurss
on the line of the new Corona subway.
In 1916, these 100 pieces of real estate
were assessed az sS,239,000. This year
the ware assessed at S2,206,O00.
mir. Mitchell has cut the assessment
of his former client. the greensboro
Corporation. more than one-thirc, OF a
total of s1,033,000. Last year the tax
impost on the company was s64,1e0:
this year it is S44.120. By stroke Cf
the pen Mr.. Mitchel's Tax Board has
made the greensboro Corporation
gift Of s20,660 in taxes for the cur
rent year.
What hope has the small taXpa,e f
in 49, face of such unjust favorltisn
as this?
"lae enormous decrease in the tax
assessments Of the Greensboro Cor
poration is a public scandal, the more

other owners in and around Elmhurst
have had to stand increased assess-
ments and increased taxation"

HiNquit Far in Lead,
Socialists Announce

A statement issued yesterday by the
Socialist City Campaign Committee
reads, in part, as follows:
ave have received reports from all
sections Of the city which show that
Mr.. Hillquit is now far in the lead Of
all other candidates. We are confident
that his election is assured.
Sentiment for .lr. Hillquit and his
associates on the Socialist ticket has
grown steadily, with increasing momen-
tum. since the cam paign opened. Dur
ing the last week the sweep to Hillquit
has been rapid and this drift j. cor
tinuing day by day. Messrs. Hylar,
Mitchell and Bennett have been losing
ground steadily.
Mitchell and Bennett are hopelessly
out OF the race; Bennett because Of lack
of organization and Mitchell because Of a
growing realization among voters Of all
classes that & Mitchell victory would BE-
a triumph for the American militarists,
junkers and the reactionsry forces"

differing from all former years, the

on wires at intervals Of ~ feet across

has been that the constant winds Of

ing material around the wires from
which IL was hung and deprive the

objection will be overcome this year
by the simple CNDedient Of placing a

in the pennant or tackled on and paint

The expense incidental to cost Of
decorating the streets this wear is
TO be carried as part OF the general
Carnival budget. In previous years
the merchants have been assessed a

this has always led to endless dis
putes as it seemed impossible to ar
rive at basis which was equitable to
all concerned. 1t is IT, accordance with
the wishes of the merchants them
