Victory Luncheon
Attended by $50
Women From 20 States Are
Hostesses to Legislators
Who Blocked Ratification
of Law in 3 Legislatures

The National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage held its "victory con-
vention" yesterday at the Hotel Nc
Alpin. with members of the legislatures
Of Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
glnla as guests OF honor.
Assemblyman John +. McNab, lead
er of the Democratic opposition to
suffrage in the Delaware Assembly,
warned the anti-suffragsts against a
possible reversal of the victory" in
his state.
"Our victory may be temporary
turc will convene again soon, and there
are some men down there that need
bolstering up. 1t is my honest belief
that we can keep our victory, but there
is always possibility of some weak
kneed brother yielding to the pressure
brought by our opponents. Down there
in the Legislature I made e speech
on the last day, and | told the suffra-
glsts it was no use, there was no
such animal as weak-kneed anti
suffragist, but deep down in my heart
l know better. | know there are a
few and ! fear that the sufTragsts will
get them. | want to urge you women
to-day to send speakers down to Del
oLS az oiItc anu keep tnem at work
until the Legislature convencs again"
Mr.. McNab declared after the meet
ing that the Democratic minority of
twelve would "stand like rock" against
suffrage, and that five or six Of the Re
publlcans were equally stanch, but
that one or two were inclined to give
in to the suffragists. Eighteen are
needed to pass the measure
Miss Mary Kilbreath was reelected
president of the association. Other Of
fcers are: Vice presidents, Mrs. James
NJ. Goldman, of Boston; Mrs. Henry P
Douglas Lama, of Macon, Ga: secre-
tarry; Miss Margaret Grundy, of Phila-
delphia, and treasurer, Mrs. William L.

Near Breaking Point as
Bill Is Sent Back to
Albany With His Veto
They Exchange Words
Lively Tilt in Sinking Fund
Meeting Involves Con-
molly, Who Joins Fracas

The strained relations between Mayor
Hylan and Comptroller Charles l.
Craig nearly reached the breaking point
yesterday when the Mayor vetoed the
bill abolishing the Office of City Cham
berlain. The Mayor sent the ILL back
to Albany without his approval and
without comment, but the matter came
up at the meeting Of the Sinking Fund
Commission and led to charges and
counter charges anc a general contro-
vcrsy.
Prior to the meeting, when the Comp
troller was informed of the Mayors
action, he declared his veto only post
poned necessary reform until the
Legislature meets again, when the mat
ter would be taken up effectively and
without loss Of time.
The City Chamberlain said that he was
pleased with the action of the Mayor, not
so much for himself, but because of
the principle involved. He believed
with the Mayor, he said, that there
should be check on the Finance De-
partment and that the Comptroller
should not be his own auditor.
Personal Reason Alleged
1t was learned the Mayor also had a
more personal reason for vetoing the
measure, in that he believed the per-
sonal feeling between Comptroller
Craig and Chamberlain Berolzheimer
was the principal reason why the
Comptroller had the bill introduced.
The Comptroller and the City Cham
berlain were both present at the meet
ing of the Sinking Fund Commission.
1t was apparent at the start that no
one was in very good humor. Bor-
