M|TCHEL WILL RUN ONLOYALTY TICKET
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Says He Will Make Fight as an American Support ing Wilson in Win
 ming the War

New I Ork, OcCODef J.. Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, democrat, defeated in the re- publican primaries for re- nomination, announced pub
 licly from the steps of the city hall today that he would
 run as the fusion candidate
 on an issue of straight
 Americanism.
 The large gathering of citizens, who
 came before him to demand that he
 remain in the mayorality race, heard
 words of support expressed in MT.
 Mitcheps behalf by Theodore Roose- welt, Charles Evans Hughes and
 Henry Morgenthau, former ambassa-
 dor to Turkey; Oscar Straus and George B. Mcclure, vice president oi the state federation of labor, and heard read letter of approval from William Howard Taft and telegram
 of approval from Charles Edward Russell.
 HITS AT RIVALS Mayor Mitchell described what he be- lieved his three rival aspirants stood for. He alluded to John r. Hylar democrat, AS the nominee of Murphy termyer and his kind, who, out of as. sociation with Dumba, with Bernstorfi and their like, raise their heads ti spit venom at all those who have taken a strong and active stand witt America and against Germany H< said MT. Hylan was "the hope of Tam
 many Hall''
 MT. Mitchell described as pacifist the avowed opponent of this war fol liberty and justice, the ayowed op. ponent of military service, the avowet opponent of American preparedness the avowed advocate of national pros tration and helplessness."
 
 WHY BENNETT WON Regarding William Bennett, formei state senator, who defeated the mayor in the republican primaries, Mir Mitche said he had been Unexpectedly prof jected into candidacy through tn. laziness and neglect of the great body of his party by the resentment ovel inruffioiap+ pa+ronaoa o,, +l,a rart o small group of machine politicians and by the protest against pro-Amer. ican city government by enemy sym. pathizers."
 CHALLENGE IS GIVEN s.As an American citizen. the mayor said of himself, chatting dis loyalty and treason and dedicated to the support of President Will son and the government of the United States in the successful prosecution of this war to a vic- toriOus issue, my duty admits of no debate. My answer to you ix that | will run. will make the fight against Hearst, Hylan and the HohenzOllerns. against Mur- phy, COhalan, O'Leary and all the Tammany breed,' against the cor ruptionist and the obstructionist. kAISER'S FRIENDS "If the people prefer a governmen inspired by Murphy, Hearst, Cohala1 and the Kaiser they will vote for MT Hylan. If they prefer governmen : dedicated to pacifism and prostratiol they will vote for MT. Hillquit. If the, desire to throw away their votes the! will vote for MT. Bennett" 1 Colonel Roosevelt in calling fol cheers for the mayor said MT. Mitche 1 was the absolute incarnation o 1 Americanism."
