The weakening, first noted In Man
haitian Tuesday, in the support given
William r. Hearst in his fight on the
newsboys is now in evidence in Brook
lyn. In that borough yesterday venders
were able to get other evening papers
irrespective of their possession of
Evening Journals" Furthermore, they
cut "The journal" as their trade de-
nianded and there was little protest.
Even John Williamson, the dealer at
Borough Hall, who was selected by
Hearst agents in and out of the city
administration to be the one "horrible
example" of Hearst vengeance, had no
difficulty in getting all of the papers
he wished. His stand is still closed
but he is selling papers from the side
walk and to date neither policeman
nor other officials have interfered with
him since Lemuel Ely Quigg served
notice that the dealers would fight for
their rights
Williamson's motion for an injunc-
tion restraining the police from inter
fering with his stand is on the docket
for argument before Justice Edward
B. Lazansky in the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn to-day Counsel for the city
was not ready for trial when the case
was called last week and obtained an
adjournment until to-day. 1t is ex-
pected that the matter will be disposed
of to-day and Williamson and his as
sociates arc confident that the result
will be satisfactory to them. SO great
is their confidence in the justice of the
cause.
Post" Stands by Hearst
The course of one of the evening
papers, "The Post" is puzzling some
of the venders. The fact that it's
teams are delivering papers to some
stands that are not receiving other pa
pers led to the report yesterday that
it was running independent of Hearst
and his allies. Officially, however, this
is not the case, Robert B. Mclean,
its circu ation manager, declaring yes
terday that "The Post" stands square
ly with Hearst in his fight.
The Post" said Mr.. Mclean,
does not view with favor the action

Motorists Will Be Surface Lines to
Asked to Conserve End Night Trip s
Gasolene Weekdays After September IL

Practically all service on the lines of
the New York Railways Company,
which operates most of the surface
lines in Manhattan, will be cut out be-
tween the hours of midnight and 6
a. M, starting September II, according
10 an announcement made yesterday
by James L. Quackenbush, counsel for
the company, at d hearing before the
Public Service Commission. The pro-
posal was also made to cut down SER
vice on all lines in the late evening
able extent The announcement was
made without any formal application to
the Public Service Commission for per-
mission to reduce the service.
1t was stated at the Offices of the
commission that while the company
would probably technically have a right
to reduce its service preliminary to any
action by the commission, Mr.. Quack-
enbush's statement was taken as an in
dcation that the company desired to
make an application for the reduction
proposed What the attitude of the
commiss ion would be was not indicated
The company submitted statement
10 the commits ission, pointing out that
considerable saving could be made
by cutting off service on all lines from
midnight to 6 a. M, and by eliminating
altogether at all hours of service on the
South Ferry portion of the Sixth Ave
nue. line, and also the shuttle service
run in connection with the Avenue C.
line
The company estimates that $4,000
annual saving in overhead expenses
will be made by cutting out the service
from midnight to 6 a. m, and $4,000
more annually would be saved by cut
ting down the evening service. Cut.
ting out the midnight to 6 a. m. service
would release 100 crews of two men
each for service in other houre

a dispatch last night from Washing
ton says it is the intention of the
fuel administration to ask motorists
to refrain from unnecessary consump-
tlon of gasolene on weekdays as we'll
as Sundays, the purpose being to de-
crease the number of Sundays on
which such fuel saving otherwise
would be nece sSary.

who is said to believe that the de-
privation suffered by habitual daily
users Of motor cars would only be in
proportion to that now borne by motor
lists whose cars are in use only on Sun
days
While no further requests are to be
uses. DR.. Garfield is expected soon to
call upon the public generally not to
employ gasolene driven vehicles on
week days for shopping tours and hauls
to and from Offices. and for other trips
that street cars might be utilized for.
The owners of large cars used by
people of wealth and the leisure classes
will be appealed to directly by the fuel
administration to conserve gasolene in
order that the rldeless Sunday may be
cut to the minimum.
Mr.. Bedford has obtained reports
from the twenty-five states to which
the motorless Sunday request applied
this week. and New York comes twen-
tieth on the list, having reduced its
automobile traffic only "a per cent,
while several states had percentages in
the 90's. The request will be more
thoroughly understood next Sunday
Mr.. Bedford said, and the saving cor
respondingly greater. 1t is estimated ID
that between 100000 and 10000 bar
rels of gasolene were saved.
The percentage of reduction in traffic
was obtained by comparing the traffic
on Saturday between the hours Of 9
and p. NJ. to that Of Sunday during
the same hours. Oil company employees
supplied the figures.
The estimate of the amount of gas
olene saved" said Mr.. Bedford, "is
considerably below the result which is
expected to be attained next Sunday y

election returns, though not complete,
show that Senator R P Wilcox (Re-

Governor E: L. Philip for the guberna-

Returns from ifty counties give each
candidate approximately $4,000 votes.
Governor Philip would not concede
his defeat.
The Republican race was made on

NEW METAL CALLS MINERS
thousands ct Men Have Long Been
Preparing to Rush to Colorado
MoIybdenum Fields.

With the melting of the snow from
the high peak, along the main range
in Summit county, between Climax
and kokomo, Colo, a mining boom,
which promises to rival the excite
ment which prevailed in Leadville
and other Colorado camps in the
early days. will start probably 1000
or 5000 miners into the hills in
search of molybdenite, the metal
used in the hardening of cannon
rlfilng, says an exchange.
Preparations are now being made
for the rush into the hills as quickly
as the 15-feet of snow which now
covers the molybdenum fields is melt
ed. The excitement in the district
followed the news that the American
Metals company, which installed a
plant--at Climax at cost of $780,
900, has recently shipped two cars
Of the ore from the district, which
brought in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
The high peaks in Summit coun-
ty are said to be literally covered
with molybdenite, which is bringing
between $3.50 and So pound, ac-
cordlng to well-informed mining
men. Reports indicate that when
the weather permits there will be be-
tween IS and 100 cabins built on the
mountain peaks, and the men who
are going into the hills are prepaY-
ing to remain there until the first
SHOWS of winter drive them out.
