Judge John F. Hylan. Tammany can
didate for Mayor, has definitely &C
cepted the muzzle which Murphy has
thrust upon him. Not only did he fail
to keep his appointment at noon yester-
day with the newspaper men. but later
In the day he let it be known that he
would talk hereafter only to repre-
sentatives OF the Hearst papers. "The
Morning Telegraph" and the "Staats-
Zeitung." He feels that the other
newspapers of the city are hostile to
him. and he does not see why he
should subject himself to their "embar-
RAISING questions"
The fact that Hylan, or some one
with ample authority for him, had
agreed that he would meet the repre-
sentatives Of the evening newspapers
at IL o'clock yesterday was printed in
most of the morning papers. IL was
considered an event, IN view OF the
judges notorious timidity in cross-ex-
animation. He was to face directly
the battery Of interrogators. it was
announced, and answer their questions
orally without consultation with his
managers or the kind Offices Of inter-
mediaries.
Newspaper Men All There
The newspaper men appeared on the
dot, but Judge Hylan had left his
headquarters. He had not understood
about the appointment. it was said for
him and had gone home. In the after
noon, however, he returned, but all at
explanation that he was too busy to
see newspaper men or to make an APP
pointment to see them. In the interim
he had consulted Murphy. it was acer-
tanned, and had apparently received his
orders.
A reporter for The Tribune and one
for the "Staats-Zeitung" went up to-

Miss Wilhelmina Meyer, who for
twelve years had believed herself the
wife Of yirginius St. Julian Mayo
wealthy radiator manufacturer OF New
Haven, and then discovered that at the
time Of their supposed marriage he had
another wife, obtained q verdict for
500 900 in the Supreme Court yester-
day for the deception practised'on her
and the damages she suffered. She
sued for s250,OO0.
1t was not until the suicide OF Miss
Lillian Cook, an employe in Mr.. Mayo's
factory, which brought his love affair
before the public. that Miss Meyer
learned her true status. At that time
the matrimonial adventures Of the New
Haven manufacturer received wide pub

legal wife, Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo,
of Scranton, Penn, learned of his
double life. She obtained a divorce
from Mr.. Mayo, that he might legally
marry Miss Meyer, but he failedto take
advantage Of the opportunity.
The trial, with its unusually large
verdict. took only few hours, for be-

City Hall Steps
Barred to Hillquit
Mayor Refuses to Permit So
cialist Meeting at His OFF,

Mayor Mitchell yesterday sent this
letter to Morris Hillquit, Socialist can
didate for Mayor. refusing Mr.. Hill
quits request for permission to Use the
steps Of the City Hall for a campaign
mass meeting:
81 have your letter. The City Hall
is and has been my official residence
for the last four years. Several days
ago | was advised that a group of cit
liens would cali upon me there and
present certain demands that become
a candidate for reelection to the office
Of Mayor. Because OF the limited space
inside City Hall it was necessary that
| meet these citizens on the steps of
the building, where I made answer to
their demands.
IF you desire 20 receive number
OF citizens who may call upon YOU at
your official or business residence, and
il is necessary for the police to make
special traffic arrangements, | shall be
very happy to-ssk the Commissioner
y accommodate you in every way in
his power.
you are in error in assuming that
| have set a precedent in permitting
City Hall steps and park TO be used
for political purposes 1t would be most
inadvisable TO create any su:h prece-
dent.
For the Mayor to receive any and
all who ccme to see him at his Office
is one thing. For political organiza-
tions to make of the steps of City Hall
a hastings is quite another.
Therefore. in spite of my nign per-
sonal regard for you. am compelled
20 decline your request for permission
to hold a public meeting in the City
Hall Park on Saturday. October 6, at
II o'clock noon
The Socialist candidate will open his

Legislators Confer
On Cohalan's Case
Action Improbable Now Un-
less u. S. Has More Informa-
ton on German Intrigues

ALBANY, Oct. 3.-Legislative lead
ers conferred informally today re-
garding the recently published state
ment of Secretary Of State. Lansing,
which apparently involved Supreme
Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan with
German intrigues to embarrass Great
Britain by activities in Ireland. The
conferrees let it be understood thai.
unless more information on the sub
ject were forthcoming, the Legislature
would take no action.
After the Senate had adopted q reso-
luton yesterday requesting the Secre-
tary of State to send Governor Whit
man any additional information con
corning the Cohalan case, word was
received that all the Federal docu-
ments had been dispatched to Albany.
No papers had been received up 10 this
afternoon, IL was announced.
If the Federal information contains
no new facts, it is unlikely that the
Governor will call the Legislature
back into extraordinary session.

groundwork was laid tonight, follow.

the going all through the day.
IL remains now for a name 70 be
chosen for the new party, and for
platform 70 be adopted that will be
suggested tentatively to the units that
are supposed to be carried bodily into
the new organization.
The Progressive party and the Pro-
hibition party to-day went as far as
their respective national committees
could 90, in arrangement OF the pre-
liminaries. Unless something happens
tomorrow that disorganizes the ar.
rangements. n joint agreement will Be

the Single flax forces, the so-called
"ex Socialists" and an indie pendent ele-
ment that speaks. for the present. for
disorganized political interests that are
ready for a new political deal. as the
speeches to-day evidenced.
The Prohibitionists are ready 10 quit
as a party. So are the Progressives.
The new party is in process OF manu-
facture by the men and women who
are the official spokesman for these
two parties. The extent Of the partiel-
patton Of other elements depends large
" upon the tone of the platform that is
in the making. The general conferences
was called TO order by Matthew Hale,
as chairman OF the Progressive Ma
tonal Committee.
DR.. Landrath. Of Nashville, became
the permanent chairman Of the confer
ence. DR.. Landrath was the Prohibi'
ton candidate for Vice-President in
1916. unless am mistaken" DR..
Landrath said, "in the temper OF this
meeting, no enemy Of the American
republic will get any comfort from
what we do day"
John Spargo, former Socialist, who
became chairman O. the committee on
platform when il was named, went far
in expressing me sentiment that the
first principle of the conference must
be patriotism and support Of the gov
eminent TO the greatest limit duriH
