 These suggestions contained in letter to the board ot eblcation explaining the l advantages of limestone over terra cotta, Mayor Hylan said were based solely up- on information contained in q memoran- dunn drafted for him by Hettrick. who he said. he did not know. This letter, Mr. Cntermyer branded as pure fabrication and pack of lies'
 While the mayor was on the stand, he was continually in a clash with Samuel untermyer of the committees counsel. It was battle of wits which brought dem- onstrations from the large crowd of spec | tators who damned the hearing chamber and filled the lobby of city hall. Several | times Senator Lockwood. chairman of ;he | committee, threatened to clear the room if the noisy demonstrations continued. ! Mr. UntermyeT declared that labor ! leader. followers had cutie a clique present to applaud favorable remarks made by the witness.
