Charges of Election
Frauds Filed Here
Complaints Hit Candidates of
All Parties, Federal
Officials Admit

Complaints Of alleged Congressional
election frauds in New York and the
towns of the Hudson Valley-the first
vet reported-have been received by
the Department of Justice.
Assistant United States ATTORNEY
Francis Caffey last night said the
charges involve attempts to buy votes
and efforts to deter citizens from vot-
ing as they saw fit. While explaining
that politics did not enter into the
matter, he said in answer to questions
that some of the charges had been
made against Republican candidates.
Later he admitted that Democrats had
been charged with using the same
methods.
Assistant Federal Attorney Ben A..
Mathews frankly admitted that he was
entirely without evidence of fraud in
to-day's election. He said that about
fifteen complaints had been received
charging fraud on the part of Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and Socialists.

he lost two lots in Springfield, Queens
County, through failure to pay the
1906 tax of S422. Hirshfieldt has been
active in investigating tax lien buyers
in Queens Couney,
Johnson said he bought the property
in 1883 and that he had paid the taxes
up to date with the exception Of ths
one year. Recently he learned that
Abram Altman, of 1880 President
Street, Brooklyn, had purchased the
lien on the lots. Theodore +
Schwartzman, an attorney, of 18e
Montague Street, Brooklyn, and G
brother-inlaw of Altman, demanded
S54.22 TO return the lots, the witness
said
Schwartzman, summoned before
commissioner Hirshfeidt testified
that he thought Altman had invested
between $4,000 and $4,000 in ia,
liens. Altman, who had been a pharma.
clst, Is now in the army.
Schwartzman said that some of his

never bought any. Asked for the
names of these clients, the witness
pleaded privilege and declined to give
them
Asked why he had demanded s54,2:
for the lots, Schwartzman explained
that his client was entitled to $25 a.
costs and $25 for a search of the rec.
ords in the case and the S422 paic
for the lien. Hirshfieldt asked the
witness why the search was made ane
was told, Because the lien didn't tel
who owned it,"
"Who made the search?" asked
Hirsnfieldt.
"Mr. Hennenlocker," the witness re
piled.
Hirshfieldt brought out that Hen
nenlocker was employed in Schwartz
mans Jamaica Office. At the close O.
the examination, which was adjournet
until Thursday morning, Hirshfeld
said that an attorney is permitted b,

as we'll as Europe knows that every
other country lighting Germany has
a coalition government, adopted since
the war began, as an effective war
measure. and that ours is the only
great country at war which has been
conducted on strictly party lines.
Europe as we'll as America knows
the attitude of Republicans. whose rec
ord is before the world both on war
and peace. As to Gompers's psychoIog-
ical appeal, no voters will be stampeded
by report made to order both as to
time and character. and both Of which
were not only expected but announced
by us some days ago.
"Capitalizing Blood"
AS to Hoover's appeal in an attempt
to capitalize the blood of our sons
lighting and dying in France, the voters
will properly interpret such prostitu-
tion of official station the day before
election. The food administration need
fear only such results of Investigations
as findings in the interest of public
welfare compel it. The character of his
appeal to be continued uninterrupted I'd
and the basis upon which he puts. it
arouse new interest in his department
I'VE call upon the voters tc weigh
the frantic appeal TO continue the pres
ent control in Congress in behalf OF
the present departmental agencies Re
publicans have, in spite of the extreme
tlon not only authorized bv their votes
all necessary authority TO prosecute
this war, but have supplied without
stint both money and men for the fight
