Harris Delays His
Answer to Charges;
He's OUT Says Smi
'Who's Who" as Head of
State Committee Still
Democratic Puzzle

Democratic politicians waited in vain
again yesterday for the statement, ex
planning away the charge that he tried
to obtain war contracts for friends and
political associates, promised by Edwin
S. Harris, who insists he is still chair
man Of the Democratic State Commit
tee. Others regard Mr.. Harris's letter
of last Sunday as a resignation from
that Office. Mr.. Harris said last night
that he would issue the statement at
noon to-day.
Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, when told in Buffalo
Yesterday that Mr.. Harris had issued
statements insisting that he had not re-
signed as chairman, but had merely
Withdrawn as manager of the campaign,
said:
"All know is that Mr.. Harris gave
out statement at the National Demo-
cratic Club in New York on Sunday say
ing that he would resign the chairman
ship of the Democratic State Committee
rshimself Of the charge made against
him. Now understand that he says he
has not resigned. l cannot under
stand it.
"There is question of veracity in
volved in Mr.. Harris's case. Mr.. Har-
ris denies that he had any interest in
these war contracts, and certainly |
have no knowledge about the matter
and have no time to Investigate it.
at seems to me that if Mr.. Harris
purposes to devote all his time to
establishing his innocence he hardly
will have time to act as chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, which
would take all of one mans time"
Local Democratic leaders are waiting
for Mr.. Smith to return to New York
to-day before taking any issue publicly
on Mr.. Harris's attitude.
But that he will not throw any OBJ
stacles in the way of party leaders who
want to elect his successor as state
chairman was indicated by Mr.. Harris
in the following statement which he
issued yesterday:
AT Syracuse | eliminated myself
from the campaign for the reason that
thought my own affairs were more i'm
portant than anything else; that I was
very glad to do so in order to relieve
the party from any embarrassment.
What is done further by the people in
the campaign and whatever they do will
be absolutely agreeable to me-"
1t was reported that ex-Judge Joseph
A. Kellogg. of Glenns Falls, would be
elected to succeed Mr. Harris as state
chairman.

Dropping of Dental
Clinic by City Rolls
Socialist Aldermen
"Cheapest Kind of Camou-
Aage," Says Algernon Lee
at Board Meeting

Algernon Lee, leader Of the Social
lst minority of the Board of Alder
men, yesterday charged the Tammany
majority with bad faith and resort
ing to the cheapest kind of camou-
hage. Alderman Lee was moved to
the attack by learning that there was
no provision in the budget estimates
for a dental clinic in the Health De-
partment and that the only dental sur
geon in the city's employ was to be
dropped after anuary /.
Following this discovery the Social
lists introduced resolution calling
upon the Commissioner of Health to
appear before the board to be oues-
toned on the subject. Speaking on
the resolution, which was beaten,
Alderman Lee said:
1T is high time for US to find out
whether this board is anything more
than village debating club, and also
whether the majority party, which to-
day controls the city administration,
possesses any element of good faith
Two months ago, after a representa-
tive of Commissioner Copeland stated
that he heartily favored the perman-
ent establishment and extension Of
dental hygiene work, which the Social
ists were urging, the board unanimous
~ called upon the Department Of
Health to include in it's budget esti-
mates for 1919 provision for maintain
ing and extending the work of the
division of oral hygiene.
Nov we have the estimates before
US and find that not only has the
action of the board been fully ignored.
but that the department proposes to
reduce the very inadequate service
that is already, being given. One Of
the IN lew dental hyglenlsts employed by
the department is to be dropped after
anuary /.
