Sufragists Win
Pledge of Aid by
Chinese Alliance
Women's Speeches at Mott
Street Headquarters Gain
Endorsement for Vote

Even when scooping in the pot at
fan-tan or hearing that "it Is boy" a
Chinaman wears an habitual express
sion of detached contemplation and has
the air of one who permits life to bore
him. So it may be imagined that there
was nothing in the intricacies of
woman's right to the ballot, as ex-
planned to one hundred Celestials yes
terday in Chinatown, that tended to
ruffle the national calm.
AS silent and motionless as the jade
and brorze idols of their country's
temples, the Cinnamon sat at their first
suffrage meeting in the room that
serves as headquarters of the Chinese
American Alliance, 6 Mott Street. For
two hours they listened to impassioned
speeches by sufragists, whose elo-
quence failed to bring a CLEAN to those
retrospective eyes.
Yet at the end of the meeting the
alliance pledged its twelve hundred
members TO the cause OF woman's po-
liticaI enfranchisement. Despite ap-
pearances, they must have been listen
ing. Or, perhaps, they made up their
minds before leaving home-even
Americans have been known to do that.
President Lee Du, restaurateur Of
note among his countrymen, called the
meeting to order at o'clock, after the
Oriental idea of promptitude, it having
been scheduled for g. Lee Du sat
gravely on a dais facing his even
graver audience. Plainly it was an oc-
casion. Behind the presidential chair
stretched yards Of red and gold en-
broidery. On the table the flags Of the
two republics were hung. Near by on
the wall was picture of President
Wilson.
Four women lawyers, officers of the
Woman's Lawyers Association, and a
district leader addressed the audience.
After each paragraph the speaker
paused and her remarks were trans
lated, not always without difficulty, By
Jack Chung, graduate of Yale and
the Brooklyn Law School.
Amy Wren, who said almost all
her clients were Chinese, was the first
speaker. Followed Sarah Stephenson,
May Patterson, Helen Mccormick,
Louise Gross, suffrage worker in the
district, and Chin Gu, who holds an
advisory position in the alliance. Miss
Wren and Miss Mccormick are TO con-
duct the Chinese voters to the polls
Tuesday in automobiles.

Beware of Frauds,
Hylan Tells Greeks
Democratic Nominee APP
peals to 500 Citizens of
Hellenic Extraction

Judge John F. Hylan. Democratic
candidate for Mayor, yesterday after
noon was cheered by 500 men of Greek
extraction gathered in the Amsterdam
Opera House, $40 West Forty-fourth
Street. when he said: "My friends, we
must be on the alert from now until
the votes are counted. We must be-
ware of fraud which is their (the Flu
sionists) last desperate hope"
Judge Hylan was introduced as
Mayor Hylan, and Charles D. Craig
was presented as Controller Craig.
Judge Hylan planned to make the
speech the final one Of his campaign.
However, he may decide. to give one
more reading in The Bronx tonight.
Yesterday he read excerpts from other
speeches which he has given through
out the campaign. He repeated his at
tacks on Imported fake experts which
deprive New Workers OF jobs in the
present administrator" on the Gary
school system, on Mayor Mitchels in
dicted friends and on the Mayors
patriotism issue.
In explanation of reading his address
from manuscript he said: 81 Am going
20 ask your indulgence while ] read
my address. My reason for reading
my address is this. ! do not want TO
be misquotcd by the Rockefeller,
Standard Oil, Socony. Mitchell sub
sidized press of the city"
His last criticism Of the Gary sys-
TEN was this: "If the Gary system had
been in vogue when | was a boy, |
would not have had the opportunity 70
be a candidate for Mayor to-day. The
Gary system has tendency 20 fl
pupils TO become only mechanics"
District Attorney Swami. in a two
minute address after Judge Hylan
said: THE campaign is over. There is
nothing to do but cast the votes and
count them"

istic leanings, that the issue Of patri-
otism has nothing to do with this cam
paign.
Had Mayor Mitchell proved himself
an inefficient Mayor, which he has not
done; if he had a lot of dishonesty,
a lot of political scandal to cover up.
which is most decidedly not the case.
then | could understand his wrapping
himself in the folds of the American
flag, as he has done. and relying on
an appeal TO patriotism to win him the
election. Mr.. Mitchell is not weak
man. believe that Mayor Mitchell
can be regarded as one Of the best
municipal officers that our city has
ever known, and he should have built
his campaign upon this and not on an
appeal to patriotism
Reformer Indorses Mitchell
A veteran reformer, a student Of the
inner workings Of the city when Van
Wyck was Mayor and Bill" Devery
Chief Of Police, the Rev. John P.
Peters, in st. Michaei's Church, Am
sterdam Avenue and Ninety-ninth
Street, warned of the dangers which
might result to this city il Mayor
Mitchell fails of reelection.
ITO remove Mayor Mitchell" said
Pastor Peters, would be a shock TO
President Wilson. It is of the utmost
importance that at this time no set
back is given to the nations war plans
or that German influence be encour-
aged.
ave see now how difficult it is TO
wipe out German activity right here
in this city. Do we want more bombs
and fires? Shall SHIPS be blown up and
our boys with them? Encourage Ger
man spies by the defeat of Mitchell.
and We will have more Of these things
We cannot tell In what form, but we
can trust the enemy to find the evil
form.
81 know something about Judge
Hylan as a judge. The liquor cases
that came before him he did not handle
as a Judge ought to. If you are in
favor of the whiskey element, then
maybe Hylan is your man. II you are
opposed to such element and all that
usually goes with it, then he is not.
The associates of Judge Hylan are and
long have been low"
After the morning service at the Col
legiate Baptist Church, 327 West Thlr-
ty-third Street, speakers addressed the
congregation in behalf Of Mr.. Bennett
and Judge Hylan.
