LONGS FOR A DEBATE
Justice Would Give Much to
Hear Craig's Honest Opin-

LONGS FOR A DEBATE

Attorney Of Kings county and now a
Supreme Court Justice, laid aside his
judicial robes last night and made a
attack on the whole Hylan
administration at rally at the Man
ual Training High School, Fifth street
and Seventh avenue, in the Park Slope
section of Brooklyn. Justice Cropsey
paid particular attention to the Mayor
He had the audience In
howls Of merrinent when he told what
the Ave letters of the Mayors name
stand for, and declared the several
thousand dollars Mayor Hylan paid to
discontinue his libel suits against a
New York newspaper were thousands
of reasons why the people Of the city
should not reflect him.
Justice Cropscy said he would give
a good deal to hear an honest, down.
right opinion by Comptroller Craig Of
Mayor Hylan.
There are five letters In the Mayors
name" remarked Justice Cropsey. III.
Y. l., A and n. Brooklyn people would
make these letters stand for Brooklyn
things. Probably one Of his chief sup
ports. Comptroller Craig, could also
make them stand for something will
tell you what think they stand for.
THE FIRST letter is II. 1t stands for
Hearst. What would Hyian do without
Hearst? He would do nothing. Hearst
is the headworks OF the Mayors oface
and all the rest, and everybody knows
that. There isn't thing written that
comes out OF the Mayors Office that
isn't written by an employee OF Hearst
so the chief and main letter OF the
Mayors name evidently stands for
Hearst.
Dwells ON the Name.
"The second letter is Y. / think the
second letter stands for yellow
Gaughter.) The dictionary says yellow
is color OF the spectrum that stands
between green and orange.
THE third letter is l.. 1t stands for
liability. and IL Mayor Hylan isn't
liability I mistake everything. What
mayor ought to be is an asset but
think our present Mayor is a dead
weight liability.
The next letter Is a. a stands for
accident. Some people are elevated By
accident: they just happen. and think
that applies to the present Mayor.
"As to tho letter n. wonder il N
doesn't stand for nothing, or perhaps
negative. Negative. as you know.
means a minus quantity.
80 that is what the Mayor stands
by Hearst. he winds up with
nothing. and In between is q liability
a yellow liability and accident"
Justice Cropsey said he had noticed
Mayor Hylan had been challenged by
Mr.. Curran to debate.
IT would like to hear that debate" he
said. I'm a debate the Mayor would
have to try to think--he couldn't just
read and get away with IT.
Justice Cropsey then gave a resume
Of the Goslin and Black Diamond auto
mobile affairs and told OF the libel suits
which the Mayor brought, before cleo
ton, and paid several thousand dollars
to drop. after election. He declared
that every word in the newspaper
articles to which the Mayor had taken
exception was true. and the charges fully
sustained. and that this was the real
reason the Mayor withdrew his suits.
Every dollar the Mayor spent to
withdraw those suits.'' he said. "consti-
tutes reason why he should not be
voted for. That makes thousands of
reasons why he should not receive
single vote
"You can get no better picture OF this
man than through the statement OF the
facts about this natter declared the
Justice. "The things the newspaper said
about Mr.. Hylan were too numerous TO
quote now, but they were far from COM
They showed him 10 be
man not safe in his former relations In
life and not likely TO be q safe Mayor"

William Travers Jerome In speech
following Justice Cropsey referred TO
the partial attack made upon Mayor
Hylan by Samuel UnterInyer Friday
night and quoted from statements
credited TO Mr.. Untermyer.
mfr. Cntermyer hooked Mr.. Hylans
business career up with a convict and
said Mr.. Jerome.
He can't keep away from them. He
has n favorable attachment for them.
He had 1t in the old days. lie can't
shake IL off.
