Uear,t First Talked OF.

Up to the tixaG- of the breaking of OF
Diplomatic relations William X. Hearst
was the most frequently discussed man
In Tammany Hall for the nomination.
The leaders were not particularly anx-
ious to accept him. They did not dis
count the fact that the people had re-
i,,.,cd him when he ran for Mayor and
Governor some years ago. But in look
ing over the field the leaders were un-
l.,s to single out from among the
voabilitles' any man who appeared
TO ~ big enough to put up good hght
against Mayor Mitchell.
With Ambassador Gerard on MS way
home however. the entire programme
has been changed. and the leaders have
ALREADY made up their mind, so 1t was
s,is last night, to force the returning
diplomat to make the race. There are
several very good reasons why he would
make the best candidate Tammany could
possibly put up. and they were outlined
last night by very enthusiastic Tam
lsey.;e.
ambassador Gerard" he said. has
ntGe splendid record during his years
o. service in public office. As a Justice
'he Supreme Court of New York he
vI- universally liked and respected,
a"d as Ambassador to Germany he has
Won tie admiration and thanks OF the
American people for the brilliant
manner In which he slas conducted the
s'lirs of his Office during the time he
has been in Germany.

by the German threat. together with the
cabled announcement to the White Star

GERARD HOPE
OF TAMMANY
Ambassador as Candidate
for Mayor a Winner, DEM
OcratS Believe.
RECORD WOULD AID HIM
Fusionists Say Mitchell Could
Be Elected. but He May Not
Be Candidate.
RECORD WOULD AID HIM

Tammany launched real live boom
for Ambassador James w. Gerard as its
candidate for Mayor yesterday. The
boom found enthusiastic favor from
Democrats all over the city.
The fact that he is returning to this
country and will be available as a can
didate has, according TO a prominent
Tammany man, furnished the Four
tenth street organization with a way
out Of a situation that was considered
almost hopeless until the breaking Off
Of diplomatic relations with Germany.
The advisability of selecting Ambas-
sador Gerard as Tammany's choice for
Mayor was discussed by the leaders
during the Ambassadors recent visit to
this country. lie was told by Tammany
that he could have the nomination II he
desired it. Mr.. Gerard talked 1t over
with his friends and 1t is understood II
was finally agreed that should he desert
his post In Berlin at such critical time
il might react against him.
But now that he is returning home.
And brings with him the good will OF
the German Government, the Tamnany
leaders are doing n war dance in the
Wigwam and the Tammany braves are
putting on the warpaint and preparing
to give the fusion forces hard fight

half hours calisthenics, and 1t gives
you a good appetite. After we are
through with this. we clean our teeth
and wash for breakfast. The soldiers
have to keep clean at all times, or
the officers see that we do. We have
inspection every week, so that they
can see our rifles and clothes are
properly kept.
The drill comes next, which is
very nice to watch, and Is not hard
to learn. You can see the companies
marching in straight lines as they
drill. We also have signalling. which
Is Interesting to everybody. The
most interesting of all Is the trench

said, 'they cut you an stick you

shots to take at intervals OF 10 days

to look a germ in the face and laugh
at 1t.
The boys have lots of time to spare
between drills; and after supper, they
can attend the Y. M. G. A., which is
doing whole lot of good for the
bows in the army. They are going to
start a beginners class in french
