Hylan Accepts Murphy Muzzle;
Talks Only to Friendly Papers
Tammany Nominee Refuses to Talk With Reporters Other
Than Those From Hearst Papers and "StaatsZeitung,
With the Exception of The Morning Telegraph

Mems League, at Forty-second Street
and Madison Avenue, where Hylan
makes his headquarters, and asked to
see the Judge. After some delay there
came out Of the inner room TO greet
them Alderman Francis p. Bent, of
Brooklyn, who asked them the nature
Of their errand. He was told that the
callers desired an interview with Judge
Hylan. On his insistence that the
judge was too busy to see them, they
asked why il was that the Tammany
candidate had failed to meet the news
papermen at noon es agreed upon, and
also whether he would name some other
time when he would grant them an in
terview.
The alderman said that it was the
first ne had heard Of the judges fail
ure TO keep his appointment. He went
hack TO look at the judges date book
to see whether the appointment had
been entered there, and returned to
announce that it held no record Of it..
To the repeated question whether the
judge would name some other time TO
meet reporters, the alderman replied
that the judge was too busy to consider
the matter.
Murphy Does the Talking
Mrs. Hylan spent large part OF mis-
time yesterday preparing the speech
which ne is TO deliver tonight at Pros
pect Hall, Brooklyn. Prospect Hall
was chosen for the opening speech of
his campaign in the hope that an audi
ence OF home folk would spare him in
the matter of heckling, treat him sym
rathetically and give him the courage
which he badly needs for the further
prosecution of his campaign. II he
comes to grief at Prospect Hall, it was
learned. he will not be permitted to
open his mouth again in public until
after Election Day.
In any case, 1t is expected that Muir
ply. following Cookers methods with
Van Wyck, will henceforth do most Of
the talking, having already replied for
his candidate to the Mayors speech
from the City Hall steps.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Representa-

cleverest hypocrite of modern times"
Mr.. Hubert said, in part:

we're indicted yesterday for making
false statements of the results of the

counts were added to the indictments

the same Justification. but without the
allegation of intent 10 commit a crime.
Four of the indicted men surrendered
themselves and were released in $4,000
bail each late in the day by Judge Null
queen in General Sessions. They
were: Fred Tillmsn, jr.. of APT East
Seventy-ffth Street, and Thomas F..
Hayes, Of 42l East Seventy-ffth Street,
Republicans; Arthur Treulich, of 406
East Seventy fifth Street, and William
Kspper, of 351 East Seventy-second
Street, Democrats.
200 More Indictments Expected
Assistant District Attorneys Olcott
and Wallace, in charge Of the investi-
cation, declared last night that before
the investigation is finished it is prob
able that at least 200 more indictments
will be returned.
There are already indications" said
Mr.. Olcot., that several Of the men
now under indictment will make state
ments which it is hoped will lead to
the Identification of others higher up
who are involved. In this way we hope
10 get at the men, if there were any,
who gave the orders TO falsify the re-
turns"
The election laws provide for the use
of accomplices as competent witnesses,
but the law also provides that IL they
do aid the prosecution of others they
are thereby granted immunity. The
penalty in the case of the felony charge
is maximum of ten years and for the
misdemeanor charge an indeterminate
sentence Of from six months 10 three
years in the penitentiary.
The alleged frauds on which indict-
ments of Tillman, Hayes, Treulich and
Kapper were based were committed In
the 3lst Election District of the 14th
Assembly District. The sworn return
sheet showed a tally of twenty-three
votes for Mitchell and none for Bennett
The official recount showed eleven
votes for each candidate and one blank.
Il was said that the other indictments
were based on frauds in the l4th, 10th
and 18th Assembly districts.
Warrants Issued for Twenty-Five
As soon as the indictments were fled
with Judge Mulqueen bench Warrants
were issued for the twenty-five defend
ants. They were not served at once,
however. Assistant District Attorney
Olcott stated that all of the defendants
were working men, and that through
the newspapers which had printed
list of the districts whose inspectors
were under investigation, they had con
cluded that indictments against them
were foregone conclusion, and had
sent word to the District Attorney that

Labor Pledges Its
Support to Mitchell
In Beating Tammany
Representatives From Twen-
ty-two Organizations Call
on the Mayor

Representatives Of twenty-five labor
organizations waited on Mayor Mitchell
at his headquarters in the Hotel Man
haitian last night and pledged him their
active support in his campaign for re-
election.
In replying to the labor men, Mayor
Mitchell made the most frank state
ment on his stand on labor and his at
titude toward seditious Irish agitation
that he has made thus far in the cam
paign. The labor representatives gave
him a most enthusiastic reception.
Judge Emil +. Fuchs, who presented
the labor men to the Mayor, afterward
rendered him a copy of their spokes-
mans set speech to which each of the
twenty-five trade representatives. had
signed his name.
In his reply Mayor Mitchell said, re-
ferring to the seditious Irish agitstors,
that he felt he knew them and their
motives we'll There is group of
Irishmen in this city-thank God, just
small group-who have profted and
promoted themselves in the political
life of American communities, preach
ing Irish matters and practising Ameri-
can protit."
Mayor Mitchell left the labor men
with no doubts as to his reasons for
his candidacy. 1.-THE thing that con-
trolled me-" he said, was that con-
ceded that it would be terrible re-
proach to the people of the whole coun-
try if the greatest community of the
country should set up a government
here that was controlled by those in
fiuences that are attempting 10 break
down the effectiveness of the national
service in this war and stab the coun-
try secretly in the back. And | mean
by that specifically" he added, "Mr
Hearst and Mr.. Murphy's associates
such as Cohalan and OLesry."

the City OF New York require it. All
things considered. he has been the best
Mayor New York has ever had. Great
constructive work has been done under
his administration, and this work ought
TO be continued. The City Of New York
ought not to be permitted TO fall back
into the hands Of Tammany Hall as q
political spoil
Third shall support Mayor Mitchell
because his election will be a good
thing for the Democratic party in the
state and nation. His election will de-
stroy the control which Tammany now
has of the Democratic party in this
state. To-day Murphy retains his con-
troll Of the state machinery of the Dem
ocratic party through his upstate
agents and puppets.
Let me call your attention to some
of the men who control the Democratic
marty in this state, and whose grip
upon the party must be broken if the
party is ever 10 stand for better things
THE upstate Democratic leaders do
not expect TO win Democratic victories.
They retain their control of the party
only that they may assist Iammany In
carving out its bargain with the Re
publican state machine. That bargain
is that Tammany shall have the City
Of New York SIS IFS field of plumber and
the Republican state machine shall
have upstate as It's field of plumber.

The Tammany ticket is largely

him false. not only TO his own coun-
try. but 70 every ideal Of decency.
This is the combination that con-
fronts Mayor Mitchell and seeks TO
bring about his overthrow.'

Mr.. Quinn was criticizing Hearst, Hy-

man. interrupted the speaker and
wanted TO know what Hylan had ever

Republicans Back Mitchell

The executive committee OF The
Tenth Assembly Republican Club voted
unanimously last night to indorse
Mayor Mitchell for reelection. A reso-
luton WAS passed plsdging him their
support and urging other organizations
70 take similar steps.
Clarence Schmelzel. executive mem
Der Of the County Committee from the
10Th Assembly District, said that TOO
much emphasis could not be placed on
the action taken by the committee.
The district. extending as it does from
Greenwich Village north, east and
west, he said. was the most cosmopoli-
tan in the city and its unanimity in
the support of Mayor Mitchell indicated
clearly the attitude of all classes
throughout the rest Of the city.
