Hedges Assails Braves
AS Mutual Prohteers

Job +. Hedges said in a campaign
speech last night that he opposed the
election of Judge Hylsn because Tam
many was behind him, and added that
he would be against Hylan even II
Tammany were not supporting him. Mr..
Hedges was speaking before three hun
dred persons at Blaney's Hall, lslst
Street and St. Nicholas Avenue.
"Tammany,' declared Mr. Hedges,
"has a past, no present. and hopes for
future in Hylan. Tammany is not a
political organization, but group Of
men banded together for mutual finan-
cial profit.
But | am against Hylan apart from
the fact that he is Tammany's candi-
date. | stand against him because he
said, This campaign IS contest be-
tween the rich and the poor starting
out with class distinction.
This is untrue. Under Mayor
Mitchell the poor man gets more for his
money in New York than in any other
place in the world. fe gets better
schools, better public institutions and
better fire and police protection"
Mr.. Hedges then hurled broadside
at the Tammany candidate for Mayor in
answer 10 the latter's criticism OF the
Gary school system, introduced during
Mayor Mitchel's administration. "Hy-
lam he said. "is misleading the public
as TO the purpose Of the Gary system
By making ignorant people conclude
that the schools were going TO be con-
trolled by the head of the Steel Trust"

Sulzer Calls on Hylan
To Repudiate Murphy

plain Bill" Sulzer. former Governor,
issued a statement last night denounc-
ing Murphy and the Tammany city
ticket, and threatening to take the
stump for the Fusion cause unless
Judge Hylsn, the Tammany candidate
for Mayor. answered ten embarrassing
questions" which Mr.. Sulzer formu-
lated. The former Governor declared
that there was only one issue. Mitchell
or Murphy" and "the boss must 60"
"Mr. Hylan may be a man of good in
tentions," said Sulzer, "but the streets
OF hell are paved with good intentions.
If Mr.. Hylan wants the votes of self
respecting Democrats, let him be hon.
esf and repudiate Boss Murphy and
Boss McCoocy."
Calling upon the Tammany candidate
"to be honest" and answer questions
as to his appointments. ii elected. and
TO whom he will give the patronage
Murphy or McCooey-Mr. Sulzer
reaches questions and 10. which are:
Ninth-Mr Hylan, be honest; while
you have much to say about the in
terests and now they finance political
candidates, tell US who is financing your
campaign? Is it Boss Murphy or a
great railroad corporation, with head
quarters in Philadelphia and New
York? What have you promised this
railroad?
Tenth-Mr. Hylsn, be honest; stop
talking piiile politics; stop lodging
newspaper reporters; stop going around
in gum shoes, and tell Us If you stand
squarely and unequivocally with Presi-
dent Wilson regarding all his policies
and acts ~ connection with the war be-
tween the United States and Germany.
Don't say you are a patriot. Every one
says that. Answer yes or no."
