Hylan Has a Narrow !
Escape From Death
Rescued by Firemen at Green
Point Fire-Fifty Men In
iured But No Lives Lost.

New York. Sept. fs.-~Mayor Hylan
had n narrow escape from death or
serious injury today while inspecting
the Are in the Some and Fleming oil
plant at Green Point. The mayor was
standing about "A hundred yards away
from one of the big naptha tanks when
the tank exploded with loud roar,
sending blazing oil in all directions. A
dense pail of smoke settled down at
the same time. MIR. Hylan was gropin &
around half blinded and choking when
he was rescued by fremen. He went
10 his home imm ediately afterward. 1t
was announced that he had suffered no
III effects from his experience.
The fire which started yesterday
afternoon was still smoldering this
evening and hremen say it may con-
tinue to do SO for several days The
last great fire in theq same plant. in
1883, burned for nearly week. Chem =
ical extinguishers have had little eff
feet in checking the blaze so far and
water has been of little use except
when the flames attacked wooden
structures in the yard or along the
shores of Newton creek, which at ono
time was almost entirely covered by
blazing oil
Several big plants along the creek
suffered heavily. The damage is esti-
mated at 100000. Fifty men were
injured but no lives were lost. There
were several narrow escapes and spec
tacular rescues.
Chief Martin said 1t was the hard

countered Every fireman in the city
was called out for emergency duty and
every available piece OF apparatus, in
Guiding all the city fire boats was sent
to the blaze.
Forty OF the hundred or more tanks
in the yard were destroyed. Thousands
