DEFEAT MAYOR ON EXTENSION
 BY 12 TO {

Reasons why Mayor Wilson's pet Broad street extension project was not brought before the Board of AL dermen last night, were made clear this morning, when it was learned that 19 Republican aldermen held a caucus just before the Council con- vened, and knocked the scheme higher than the proverbial cooked hat.
 According to reports this morning, it seems that Mayor Wilson, just be- fore he left for Canada with the An cient and Honorable Artillery, of Boston called in a number of coun- cilmen who were friendly to him, and asked them as a personal favor to put the bill through last night.
 A caucus was called accordingly, and everything was fixed up so that the final punch might be put through. Trouble was encountered by the mayors friends, however, and a mo- ton to carry the bill was defeated by a vote of 12 to 2. The bills oppo- nents attempted to carry their vic- tory further by introducing a motion to carry the project to the Council and end it there once and for all. This move, however, was defeated. Taking it all in all, it was a close shave for the well known Broad street plan.

 session as this paper went to press

 They say that in order to get to the center of the city they must go on a sightseeing trip through the suburbs on the jitneys as no trolley cars run out there.
 Parishoners of St. Patrick's church l who live in that section also com plain that on the present routing they are not able to get any convey. ance to church as the cars. do not run and by the ordinance the jitneys are not allowed to go anywhere near the church.
 The jitney men Say that waen the orinance was passed they were told to try the new routes and if after a trial they were found unsatisfactory to come to the members of the Ord:- nance committee and the routes would be changed but last night it devel- oped that there had been no meeting of the Ordinance committe and soma of the members of the committe told the jitney men that they did not know that there was any petition for a change of routes before the com mittee although two were referred at the last meeting of the Alderme- two weeks ago.

RICHTER
 ELECTS HIMSELF
Darien Has An Election Tangle Over Clergyman Who Has Gained
 Notoriety.

South Norwalk, Conn, Oc.. b.
 Rev. G. Emil Richter, pastor of Stam-
 ford church and d resident of Darien,
 who has received much publicity re-
 gently over his fruitless appeal to the
 officials of the town of Darien for
 permission to carry a revolver after
 attacks had been made him for
 his anti gambling cruSades in his home
 town, apparently put one over'' on
 both the Democratic and Republican
 yesterday when he was elected a
 grand juror, having received ten votes.
 The Republicans nominated William
 H. Wimott and George Krause for
 the office of grand juror, while the Democratic party nominated Able Dance, and simply endorsed Wilmott. This made but three candidates while the state law provides for four. When the ballots were counted last night it was found that ten ballots had been cast which contained the name of G. Emil Richter written in the blank space in the Democratic column un-
 der the heading of grand jurors.'' Ballot number 52 was missing and could not be located. The election of ficiaEs declare that some one put over
 an old-time political trick and escaped without depositing their ballot in the ballot box. They also declare that 1 the handwriting of MT. Richters name on each of the ten ballots is similar , Hence they have refused to acknowI- edge MT. Richter'S election, dec1ar ring that the vote is illegal until ballot number 52 can be found. MT. Richter declared this mornins | that he would take the case to the | courts to establish his election. He knows the names of the people who voted for him, he said, and added that l there was nothing fraudulent in his election

Neither MT. Siemon nor Supt. Smead could be found today for a statement of the situation and the telephone operator who has been running things since the lockout started said that she didn't know whether the plant was running or not.
 Fifteen expert toolmakers comprise the entire force of expert labor in the S1emon plant. To The Times to- day they expressed themselves as ab- So1utely satisfied with the treatment they had been. receiving at the hands of the S:emon company. .We are locked out and don't know why, ex- cept that Sam Lavit has the Italian workers organized 100 per cent strong in the plant and we are laying around today idle because they are following his lead. We can't even go in to get our tools"
 While the toolmakers stood on the SoTIleI i I1eet -ol H1OlOE cycle Sl0e cars came along each bearing a brace of Italian workers from the plant. A man in a side car shouted at the toolmakers; Why should we work. We got box of money save up.''
 -'Sure," said the. spokesman for the toolmakers. That mans entire family works in the press room and the family draws more than $125 a week. Why should they worry. And Sienon has manufactured stuff enough on hand to run him six months. He should worry, but where do we get off at."
 That's the situation at the SiemoIl plant today.

INDIANS IN GR REA T
 SHAPE
Speaker Will Probably s t a r t Coveleskie Against Brooklyn in the Opening Game of Worlds Series First Songs Since Ray Chap man Was Killed.

New York, Oct. 5:-The Cleveland Indians, winners of the American League championship and hence the team that meets Brooklyn today in the first game of the 1920 worlds se- rieS, came to New York singing. They were the first songs heard from the Cleveland Indians since the night be- fore Ray Chapman was killed in New York by pitched ball.
 Speaker says they will start against Brooklyn with the cocky confidence that marked the Indians playing be- fore "Chappie" passed out of the line up.
 Speaker would not say positively what pitcher he will select to open the series, but he indicated Stanley Coveleskie would get the assignment with second choice naturally resting on Jim Bagby.
 If Manager Robinson of the Dodgers starts a left-hander against the In dians, which seemed likely, Joe Wood, the former famous pitcher of the Bos- ton Red SoX, who shot the Giants, chance in 1912, will patrol right field in place of Elmer Smith. In left field Joe Evans will hold forth instead of Charlie Jamieson, and George Burns will take up duty at first base instead places Johnston he will bat fourth in- stead of in Johnston's place in sixth place. Wood will be dropped down. Smith ordinarily hits in the cleanup position.
 q expect to use Steve O'Neill in every game. Other catchers are with us, Of course, but Steve will be in there all the time.''
 Harry Lunte, utility infielder, made the trip to New York, but Joe Sewell, young shortstop, probably will play at shortstop.
 The Cleveland club arrived here shortly after ] Q o'clock this morning and went to the hotel that will be their headquarters while in the East. Some of the players soon afterwards went to EbbetS Field
