Whitman $4,000, 900
Out of Way, Declares
Smith at Syracuse

ALBANY, Oct. 24.--Alfred E. Smith,
the Democratic candidate for Governor
arrived in Albany this evening from
Syracuse. and in speech at g dinner
party given in his honor, replied to
Governor Whitman's attack on New
York City's budget, by declaring that
the Governor is only s4S,000,000 out Of
the way. I.
"But with a man." he said, "who
would jump the states budget S33 o00,-
600 in four years and who' Senator
Brown said. had signed the appropria-
tion bill without conference with the
leaders of either house, little thing
like an error of S43,000,000 must not be
taken too seriously.
''In the name of reform he threw the
whole government of the state into
chaos. He assisted the Legislature to
string the compensation act at the be
hest of the casualty companies. He
sat by idly when threats were made
against the Tenement House Depart
ment which saved the lives of millions
in the great metropolis. He remained
silent when attempts were made to plav
politics with the Health Department.
He was lacking in leadership when an
attempt was made to wreck the humane
legislation affecting men, women and
children wage earners"

Republican Victory
Again Is Predicted
By Chairman Glynn
Plurality of 100000 and
Election of Four Con-
gressmen Forecast
Lines of Party Solid
Registration Figures Indicate
$4,000 Fighters Will
Cast Ballots

George A. Glynn, chairman Of the
Republican, State Committee, after OBJ
tanning more complete upstate regis
tratlon figures yesterday. and after
conferring with Governor Whitman at
the St. Regis, said last night that the
Republicans are in first rate shape for
the battle of the ballots on November
., and that everything pointed to a
Republican victory.
There is not the slightest reason
for changing my original estimate Of
plurality Of 100000 for the state
ticket" said Chairman Glynn.
Altogether, there are about 100000
New York soldiers, sailors, marines and
Red Cross workers in uniform, and
mostly away from their homes. Of this
total, about one-half are on the other
side, and cannot vote. Of the 100000
in the United States, it is estimated
that about $4,000 will cast their votes.
Asked about the Congressional Dis
tricts in which he expected the gains
Mr.. Glynn said that the Republicans
stood to elect John McCrate, who is
opposing Michael Fogarty in the third
Brooklyn district; John A. Bolles, op-
posing Congressman Jerome F. Dono-
van In the twenty-first; Frank Crow
ther, who is running against Congress-
man George r. Lunn in the Schenec-
ady-Amsterdam district, and Clarence
MacGregor, who is opposing Congress
man Charles 3. Smith in Buffalo.
The Republican managers concede
greater New York to the Democrats by
not more than 10000, and at the same
time confidently predict that the Re-
publicans will come down to The Bronx
with plurality of about $4,000.
The Prohibitionists have an enroll
ment of $4,000. but this does not repre-
sent their full strength. AS Attorney
General Lewis won by $4,000 last
year the Republican leaders believe
that this year, with greater general in
terest in the result, and with the addi-
tion of the Prohibition vote, the Re-
publican plurality should be consid-
erably above last year. While the
Hearst papers are not supporting the
Governor this year, they do not seem
to be supporting Smith either, so the
Smith men say, and the Whitman men
figure that the Prohibition vote will
more than make up for the loss of the
Hearst support, resulting in Repub-
lican margin Of anywhere from 10000

Be Asked toCrush
Tax Lien Sharks
Proposed Law Provides for
Officials Notifying Own
ers Before Sale

Criminal prosecution may follow the
revelations made during the Nassau
County tax sale investigation, which
was completed yesterday at hearing
before Magistrate Appleton. Samuel
S. Breslin, attorney for the Mayors
Committee on Taxation, which started
the inquiry. with District Attorney
Swann's aid announced last night that
he would turn over at once all his rec
ords to District Attorney Weeks, of
Nassau County, who has already eX-
pressed readiness to prosecute the
matter.
The committee. of which Nathan
Hirsch is chairman, will continue to
settle the cases of hundreds of lot
owners, who will receive back their
property at cost, instead Of the eXtor-
tionate rates heretofore demanded by
the purchasers of tax liens. The COM
mittee will make representations to
the next state Legislature to pass laws
which will remedy the obvious evils for
all time.
Frank <. Hurley, manager Of the
Jamaica branch of the Title Guarantee
and Trust Company, was recalled to
the stand at the resumption of the
hearing yesterday. He testified that,
although he had expressed dsapproval
Of the conduct of his son, Eugene, in
going into the business of buying up
tax titles at Mineola, he had loaned d
him large sums of money, had helped
get g postoffice box for handling the
transactions and had signed the name
of Charles Fl. Fabens, his sons part
| ner, to Registered letters he received
When Attorney Breslin asked Hurley
why he received checks from Victims
and aided in other ways the scheme
he thought dubious Hurley answered
CAS- you might say, the buying of tax
titles was the principal occupation
around Mineoa. Everybody there did
| it, and when my son came from Har-
ward with his chum, Fabens, they die
not see why they should not engage in
it, too. might have talked more to
Eugene, but he would not have
stopped"
Breslin read into the court record
the charges demanded by Fabens in
certain of the cases. One demand for
! SIS was to cover a tax of 60 cents
Fabens and young Hurley wanted S35
for q ascent tax and 500 for the title
to property bought in for $4.26 After
Breslin had shown that $75 had been
actually received for a S1.72 tax Hurley y
launched into a partial defence of the
traffic.
"The profits are not so enormous as
the newspapers make them appear" he
said.

Never Made Dollar Any
Other Way, Charge at
New Rochelle

NEW ROCHELLE, Oct. Ex-Governor
Whitman declared tonight in a speech
in Liberty Hall here that Al Smith
never had had business in his life,
except politics, though nominally in
the real estate business, and that he
never had made dollar in his life
except in politics.
Reviewing again the case of Matthew
Horgan, which he brought up in his
campaign four years ago, the Governor
reiterated his charge that Tammany
had rewarded Horgan's treachery to
Sulzer, and added: where do we find
Mat Horgan to-day? He holds the
highest position in the gift of the
President of the Board Of Aldermen
of New York City. He is assistant to
the president of that board with a
salary of $4,000 a year.

THE next SESSION
MOm6ntOus Congress Due to
Open in Ten Days.
Question of Presidents Power
Is Paramount.
CONGRESS- is after IT
Tax Levy Bill VIII Cause a Big
Scrap.
And Public Utility Ownership
Will Be Talked.

Washington. Nov. 22.-One momen-
tous session of congress having just
passed into history, the next one. likely
to be even more important, holds the
attention of official Washington today.
Within ten days the third and final
session of the Sixty-fifth congress will
assemble.
The paramount issue Of that session
is:
Shall congress recapture from the
executive branch Of the government
powers conferred under stress of war,
and assert itself as the constituted au-
struction policies. or shall President
Wilson keep these powers and exercise
as an executive function the neces-
sary reconstruction measures?
There are numerous off-shoots from
this main issue. One is the Republic
act a tax law fixing the levies for
1920. This threatens to tie UP in
definitely a report by the senate
finance committee on the tax bill and
to postpone final enactment of the
measure until next spring.
Public Ownership.
Another is the public ownership
issue, which is SO entangled with the
general cause of dispute as to bring
uneasiness to both administration and
Republican forces. Public ownership
has a bipartisan following in both
houses. But public ownership of
utilities taken over by the government

Democratic plan to create a socialistic
state. The test on this question is ex-

Upon such a bill a three cornered
fight would be made. One group COM
posed both of Democrats and Repub-
licans would oppose it out OF hostility
to public ownership of anything. An
other would fight it because of par
tisan political opposition to any recon-
ent administration. The third group
would assail it because Of personal
animosity to Postmaster General
Burleson, who now controls the wire
system, and who has advocated pub
lie ownership.
Cut Wilson's Powers.
IL Republicans will demand abroga-
ton Of all presidential war powers
and handling of reconstruction prob
lens largely by congress. They fore
see, they said today. that an effort
will be made. to hurry thru the next
session, which ends March 3. 1919, all

with view to preventing an extra
session March 4. That session, If call
ed, will be controlled by Republicans.
They assert that they will make an
extra session imperative by delaying
action on vital measures if such strong
methods become necessary. Without
hesitation, Republican leaders today
said they will do anything in their
power at the coming session to make
their ideas and not those of President
Wilson prevail.
Democrats, holding control, declare
this is impossible and that the session
will practically clean up the recon-
