The speech which Judge Hylan, Tam
many candidate for Mayor, read at four
Brooklyn meetings last night drew
moral from the indictments Of Reyn-
olds. Bailey, Greve and OMalley, that
moral being "Vote for Hylan.' All
four of these indicted men the candi..
date described as intimate friends Oh
Mayor Mitchell and Controller Prem
derga5t.
INV friends" said he, "these mis-
deeds cannot be hidden behind the
American flag. / tell you that the
grand jury has only scratched the sur
face"

lie then devoted himself TO the in
crease in the tentative budget ana
asked his hearers TO remember that
REYNOLDS and his associates made a
profit of nearly million dollars out
of the marginal railroad deal; that
"Reynolds and his associates were
able. through the sale of Dreamland
TO the city. to turn a defunct amuse-
ment resort into Sl,600,OOO asset. :.
He spoke of the absolute waste OF
s12 900, 900" in the purchase OF "a use,
less courthouse site in Manhattan ana
of "the waste of Sl,000,000 through the
untimely destruction of the municipal
luilding in the Borough of Brooklyn.
"'They tell YOU that the Mayor is
fighting Mayor and they ask you TO
keen him on the job. Fighting Tor
whom and on the job for whom! For

York Central Railroad Company; hght-
inc 10 obscure from the peoples vision
the iniauities of the garbage contract,
given 70 William NJ. Greve, Reynolds's
business associate, a contract which
Greve says is worth sl0,O00,G00 TO them.
Fighting to obscure from the peoples
vision the Dreamland scandal and the
Rockaway scandal. Fighting for the

given up hope of grabbing Riverside
Park and waterfronts along the Hudson
valued at over $250,000, 900. Fighting
TO prevent exposure of further scan

nothing. Fighting always against the
people's interest and on behalf of the
Millionaire band which cries out that
we must take Mitchell again or be
branded as a traitor city.

1t was noticeable at all four of the
judges meetings that, while the rest
of his hating periods evoked applause,
and sometimes cheers, the last sentence
quoted about his abolition of invisible
government and boss rule at City Hall
rarely got him hand. This was true
even at Arcadia Hall, 9ls Halsey Street,
Williamsburg, in the midst of his home
section, where an enthusiastic crowd of
2,500-the largest he has faced during
the mpaign.-welcomed him with
cheers.
At each meeting the judge departed
from his written speech long Enough 10
declare that Mayor Mitchell 81 ( his ad-
mlnistration were to blame for the re-
cent public school rioting, because they
had ignored the protests of parents
when the latter had presented their
grievances in an orderly manner. He
characterized the riots as deplorable.
