Murphy Has Never
Been Party Leader,
Declares Osborn

William Church Osborn, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor against "Al" Smith, the Tam
many favorite, said yesterday that
Charles F. Murphy never had contrib
uted an idea or, SO far as he knew,
cratic party. Mr.. Osborn said that
Murphy was not leader.
IL have been asked by a number of
Democrats from upstate and New York
City whether I would support Charles
+. Murphy for state leader. I will
rot" said Mr. Osborn. 81 am a regu-
lar Democrat and believe in home rule.

district to interfere with the affairs

ganization, but he is not, and never
has been, leader. l have watched him
closely for fifteen years, and he never
has contributed an idea, and, so far
as l know. dollar, for the benefit of
the party. When Mr.. Shepard was a
candidate for United States Senator
Mr. Murphy announced at the Grand
Central Station that he had eliminated
him from the situation, and he pre-
cipitated a party fight that wrecked the
Dix administration.
"When the Progressive split made a
Democratic victory certain Mr. Murphy

the impeachment proceedings, and the

His control of the state organization

moves which have disgusted both the
people and the organization through
out the state. In Congress he has had
numerous opportunities to select able
men to represent the City of New
York. He has not done so.
Last year he pulled out the best
man we had, Murray Hubert, to make
him Commi issioner Of Docks. The only
men of ability he has brought forward
are Senator Robert +. Wagner and AL
fred E. Smith, who for years have been
his personal representatives at Albany.

Congress Is Urged
To Free N. Y. Police
From Draft Calls

Appeals were made yesterday direct
to Washington by the New York
Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Hylan
and Police Commissioner Enrght for
the exemption of the New York police
force from military service.
The Chamber of Commerce addressed
letters to Secretary of War Baker,
Provost Marshal General Crowder and
to Chairman Chamberlain of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee.
Because Of the size and Importance
of New York in the manufacturing and
shipping Of army supplies the Chamber
Of Commerce declared it is to the in
terest of the Allies to keep the city
properly policed.
"The value of the existing trained
force of police in their present posi-
tion," the letters said, "s worth vastly
more TO the interests of the govern
ment and the country while at war than
the military value of the entire force
would be if put into the army as a
unit"
Mayor Hylan wrote in part to Sem
ator CALDER:
"Thc possibility of disorder, due to
labor unrest; the fomentng of dis
turbance by enemy alien elements:
possible uprising against authority due
to dissatisfaction with the war or the
government by reason of insufficient,
improper or unacceptable food, or due
to the high cost of food and clothing,
or increased burdens, may. under GER
tain circumstances, burst into an ap-
palling reality.
''Moreover. the City of New Yrok is
made up of many foreign elements.
At least $4,000 enemy aliens, male and
female, and hundreds of thousands of
citizens of the Teutonic race, against
whom demonstrations may be expected
under certain conditions, make up a
considerable part Of our cosmopolitan
population.

ter service to the government, by good
police duty, in this city, than he can
by entering the military service"

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-Lord Reading
the British Ambassador to the United

OF the American Luncheon Club. Three
hundred persons attended, including
the Japanese, Italian and Chilean am
bassadors, the Belgian Minister. Lord
Miner, Lord Robert Cecil, Winston
Spencer Churchill, Vice-Admiral Sims
and several members of the Cabinet.
The continued illness of the American

Lord Reading, after referring to the
success of his mission in America as
due to the generous good will of the
United States, expressed his thanks for
that country's tribute of high admira-
tion for the efforts Great Britain had
made in the war and the valor and
which could only be described as zone
of affection and love"
On his second visit he found Amer

whenever the history of the war
comes to be written as to the part
America has played, very high will
rank the achievements of the Admins
tration and Legislature which passed
the selective draft
Lord Reading declared that America
was nation of idealists, adding: "Too
many in the past have been inclined to
think Americans materialists, whereas
Americans are ready to sacrifice every
thing for an idea, provided the cause is
noble and just"
He did not believe that there was
any room for criticism of America be-
cause she had not entered the war
sooner, for the head Of the nation did
not feel that the time was ripe or was
not ready to take the responsibility un-
til the nation had made up it's mind.
Now that America was in the war, one

to autocracy, the existence Of which,
Americans hold, means war"
If there was a message he would
bring to Britain from America it would
be: America is with you to the end,
The only end possible, that is, until
victory has been attained"
