Whitman Willing
Welcome Smith
To GOvernOrship
Governor Announces He
Will Renew Contest i'm
Court After Election Ger
tificate Is Issued to Smith
By BRIGGS

Governor Whitman last night at the
st. Regis said he had nothing but best
wishes for Governor-elect Smith, and
that he will do all in his power to
make his induction into office agree
able. He said that as soon as the GER
tticate of election is issued to Mr..
Smith the recount of the ballots
sought so energetically in the courts
will go on, according to the plans of
the Republican State Committee.
Governor Whitman's statement fol-
lows:
At the request of the state COM
mittee and entirely in accordance with
law, motion was made for the in
spection of ballots, which is an abso-
lutte right of any candidate. This in
specton, under decision of the Court of
Appeals, can be had Immediately after
the granting of the certificate of cleo
tion by the board of canvassers. The
state committee informs me that there
is every reason to believe that, while
such inspection or recount may not
substantially alter the result so far as
the election is concerned, it will show
grave errors, if not serious frauds,
which the public and the party are en-
titled to know, and the committee
therefore desires that the inspection
shall be had as provided by law. Of
course. no one can confidently predict
what such inspection may reveal.
There has never been any idea or
on my part to call special
session of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of amending the law affecting a
matter where | myself might be con-
cerned, although | think it is clearly
evident that some radical changes in
the election law should be made in the
public interest.
"Mr. Smith will receive the certifi
cate of election to which he is clearly
entitled on the return of the election
inspectors, and he may be sure that
| sha>l do all ir my power to make
his induction into office agreeable.
nave nothing put the best wishes for
the Governor of New York"
1t is understood that Governor Whit
man will send congratulatory letter
to his successor as soon as the soldier
and sailor vote is Canvassed.
Meanwhile Governor and Mrs. Whit
man are moving personal belongings
from the executive mansion in ALBANY
to the eleventh floor of the St. Regis.
where the Governor has occupied a
suite for several years.

HyIan Actuated
By Politics, Says
Public Seruice Board

The Public Service Commission fol
the First District, after conference
lasting two hours, last night, through
Charles Bulkley Hubbell, its chairman
gave out the following statements:
Mayor Hylan has used his judicial
function as committing magistrate
to further political purpose and
crafty personal grudge The i'll
quiry before him was to determine
whether crime had been committed
and whether there are reasonable
grounds for believing that named
persons had committed it, to the end
that warrants issued for the persons
so named or that such persons be
held for the grand jury.
That judicial function the magis-
trate performed in a few more than
hundred words. But before he laws
aside his self -ammumed judicial role,
Mayor Hylan speaks through Magis-
trate Hylan, in a 1,300word TRADE
wishes to destroy.
Cites Hylan's Verdict
The facts and circumstances as to
the Malbone Street tunnel tragedy
were gone into at length before
Magistrate Hylan. 1t was his duty
to hold for the grand jury or di-
rect the arrest of every person whom
there is reasonable ground to be-
lieve' has committed a crime. If
there was other or further evidence
known to Magistrate Hyan or
Mayor Hylan, he should have seen
to it that such evidence was fullv
brought out He did issue warrants
for the arrest of five persons and
direct that sixth be held for the
action of the grand jury. He frankly
admits that there was no evidence
showing reasonable ground for be-
lieving that any member of this
commission or their predecessors
have committed crime. Neverthe-
less, he proceeds at great length to
accuse the present commissioners or
their predecessors and CRAFTY in
temperately his personal animus.
II there are any facts which were
not brought out before Magistrate
Hylan. the members of this commits
sion hope that they will be gone into
fully before the grand jury. The
fullest inquiry by that proper tribu
nal will be welcomed cordially. The
commission realizes the motives and
the stat" of mind which impelled the
present Mayor TO devote 100 words to
those whose arrest he directed and
many hundred words to bringing q
charge of crime against those whom
he did not hold and could not certify
that there was evidence warrantinr
belief that any criminal dereliction
had taken place.
Will Give Explanation
"The facts as to the change in the
grade of the curve at Malbone Street
will be developed in due season be
fore the proper tribunal. For the
present it may be sufficient TO say
that the original plans were filed and
approved and the amending plans
were filed and became effective be-
fore any member of the present COM
mission was in Office.
"Mayor Hylan did not have the
courage to say that the only evi-
dence before him showed that the
change was made by the engineering
experts in the interests of greater
safety and that a greater elevation
on this curve would have made dis
aster more likely and more serious"

In fact, these gentlemen wondered
why the tiger had not received greater

his distant relatives were of rather
loose mode of living. Some one, Bill
was sure. had gone and repeated stories
about the chaste tiger that were true

the head keeper emeritus. "There's no

Dr. Hornaday was another friend of
the tiger who stood up for him. He ad-
mltted that at times the animal in
dulged in man-eating, but said that this
was rather a fault of manner than of
heart.

right thing by the tiger He also alb

68,0OO,OOO Gallons
Of Whiskey To Be
Available i'm T.. s.
Revenue Collector Edwards
Says Adulteration Will
Increase Supply During
First Half of Next Year

Unless whiskey drinkers can consume
slightly more than 6SO00,OO0 gallons of
raw liquor between January and July
/, there is no danger of the United
States going "dry" because of present
war legislation.
Big Bill" Edwards, collector of in
ternal revenue, yesterday announced
that there were more than $4,000 900
gallons of the liquid in government
bonded warehouses and elsewhere in
storage. 1t is estimated that 100000
600 gallons of that store of strong
drink will have been drawn ont hv
January 1, 1919, leaving something
more than 68,000,ooo for the consump
ton until July /, when present anti.
dlstillery legislation will expire.
Mr. Edwards holds out further an
enlargement to those interested in
keeping the country wet in state.

BILL l am not saying anything against
our best dealers, but everybody knows
that to be the case"
Because of this fact, It is estimates
that many millions of gallons more viii

ter,atlon, thus Increasing the 68, 900 600
gallons to be sold next year, should no
more be distilled by II 100000 gallons,
But still another consideration that
may have been overlooked bv the
liquor interests was suggested at the
0flces OF the Anti-Saloon League. The
legislation that prohibits the distillinp
OF more whiskey until after demobili-
zatlon has been completed, provides
that the President shall designate the
date when demobilizaton ends
The troops won't be completely de-
modified until the last soldier has
been sent home" said representative
OF the Anti-Saloon League. NOBODY
knows when that will be. It wouId
be surprising if there were sufficient
liquor in the country to supply all of
the saloons and restaurants until de-

Scalpers Dominate
New York Theatres,
Says W. A. Brady
Theatrical Manager Asks
Adoption of Ordinance
to Lessen Spectators
in Tickets for Shows

Alderman John McCourt, who comes
from the upper West Side, which en-
braces the region infested by theatre
ticket spectators, made the only OBJ
lection heard at the hearing before the
Aldermanic committee on the proposed
ordinance aimed at abolishing the the
atre ticket speculator nuisance.
Alderman McCourt objected to the
ordinance on general principles, and
when asked to be specific by District
Attorney Swami, whose aid, John P.
Kilroe, drafted the ordinance Mr. Nc
Court said that he wanted an ordinance
which would prohibit any advance over
box Office prices.
"This proposed ordinance permits
only a 50-cent increase" said Mr..
Swami, "and your proposition would
be unconstitutional"
81 don't care" said Mr.. McCourt.
Theatre managers who appeared in
support of the proposed ordinance said
that either the theatre or the ticket
spectators would have to 60
Brady Fears Speculator
"The theatrical managers of New
York. said William A. Brady voicinp
the sentiments of the theatrical men,
no longer fear the dramatic critic: it
is the ticket speculator who makes or
breaks our plays. The managers are
with you heartily in the fight to elimi
nate the speculator evil, which prom
ises to be the ruination of the theatres
IN America"
Later Alderman McCourt inquired
OF Mr.. kilroe regarding the truth of
the charge he made that there was y
"slush" or bribe fund raised by some
of the theatre ticket SPECTATORS. Mr.
kilroe said that he stood bv everv
word he said regarding slush funds
Mr. McCourt was satisfied, however
when he heard Mr.. Kilroe say that
nothing he had said was reflection on
any alderman.
Mr.. Brady, who was accompanied to
the hearing by Charles w. Dillingham;.
who also spoke on behalf of the pro
posed ordinance, said that the specu-
iators existed largely because the pub
llc insisted on using the speculators.
''The only solution is the regulation
OF theatrical managers so that thew
shall be compelled to abide by certain
defined laws which would result in
eliminating the ticket speculator," he
said.
Those who profess to be in a position
to know say that the Board of Alder
men will pass the ordinance at it's
next meeting. Besides limiting the
advance on a ticket to fifty cents over
box office prices, the ordinance pro-
poses to tax all spectators $3.50 year.

Men familiar with the beautiful home

terday in expressing their qualification
that Chief Justice McAdoo on Tuesday

stanch and puritanical ideals of this
