HYLAN DEFIED LAW
TO BAR DEMAREST
Mandatory on Him to Give Old
Job Back to Fireman Who
Went to War.

The refusal Of Mayor Hylan last Mon
dav TO allow ths reinstatement of
Charles s. Demarest as chief of con-
structlon in the Fire Department after
his war service In France was not only
in contravention OF an opinion Of tn,
citys Corporation Counsel but was in
the face OF mandatory law governing
such a case, it was disclosed yester-
day.
1t was learned also that IL Mr.. Dema-
rest Is unable to obtain reinstatement,
through the Hylan administration he Is
prepared to go to the courts and assert
his rights. He has informed Fire Com
missioner Drennan OF that intention, II
was stated.
Mr.. Demarest has two chances to OBJ
tain reinstatement over the Mayors
protest. Both lie in the possibility Of
the Board Of Estimate .overruling the
Mayor.
When the Fire Department budget re-
quest containing provision for the rein
statement of Demarest comes UP for
final consideration before the board q
vote will be forced. Another vote In the
Board of Estimate will be forced II the
Board of Aldermen approves the reso-
luton before II for consideration next
Tuesday for the authorization of special
revenue bonds to provide money to pay
Mr.. Demarest from last August Is. when
his reinstatement would become effective
under his application, until the end or
this year.
Mayor Hylan yesterday issued the
following explanation:
"The reason I objected to the re-
instatement OF Major Charles S.
Demarest as chief of construction in
~
Fire Department was because he had
retired on pension under the twenty
year retirement law In the Fire De-
partment, and since he retired sala-
| ries have been increased. and II he
| were reinstated he could have retired
| the next day on an increased pension
| on his own application"
It is a fact that, though the position
has not been niled permanently, the post
which Major Demarest formerly held at
$500 year would pay him now $3.50.
Mr.. Demarest was out of the city yester-
day, but his friends denied Indignantly
the imputation that he seeks reinstate-
ment for the purpose OF having his pen
| sion increased 1t was stated IN his be-
half that he has devoted his life to a
study of upkeep Of heavy motor equip
ment and that the motorization of the
his suggestions, for which reasons he is
desirous of continuing his career in that
work.
1t was pointed out also that. because
of his unusual experience with and
knowledge of maintenance and repair
of heavy motor equipment. Major Dem
arest's services virtually were COM
mandeered by the Government for su-
pervision Of tanks and motorized ar
tillery. 1t was stated that he inquired
and was informed that the policy of the
administration was against leave of
absence for entry into the armed service
| during the war, and that for that rea-
! son he applied for retirement, which
the department was compelled to grant
in order that he might serve the coun-
| try.
Demarest entered the service and be-
| came a captain, from which he was pro-
NOTED to major. He not only served In
| France himself. but so did his three
1 sons.

Indian Murphy said he had heard OF
Curran and liked him and enclosed a
perfectly good one dollar bill.
Hes as game as they make them.
said Mr.. Curran referring to President

senting an Americanization motion pic
ture He expressed his belief that the

HOUSE MEETS AND ADJoURNs.
Business Sessions Expected
to Start Monday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--With less than
100 members in" attendance the House
to-day adjourned until Friday with the
understanding that it would meet that
day and Immediately adjourn until Mon
day.
In advocating this programme Rep
resentative Mondell (Wyo.), Republican
leader, announced there was nothing
pressing for consideration at this time
and he was hopeful of having quorum
here Monday for actual work. The re-
apportionment bill and the measure to
extend the emergency tariff beyond Mo-

CURRAN Will HONOR
3 MEN HE DEFEATED
To Ask La Guardia, Haskell
and Bennett to Serve on
Executive Committee.
THEY'RE EAGER TO AID
Campaign Organization to
Be Hurried So as to OBJ
tain Funds.
THEY'RE EAGER TO AID
NOT A CENT CONTRIBUTED
Primary Deficit Is $4,000
Babe Ruth Calls on Head
Of Coalition Ticket.

+. III. La Guardia. President OF the
Board of Aldermen: Judge Reuben L.
Haskell and William M. Bennett, un-
successful contenders for the Repub-
lican nomination for Mayor against
Borough President Henry H. Curran,
will be asked by the latter to become
members OF the executive committee
Of the coalition committee.
The votes in the primary had hardly
been counted when each of the three
losers hastened to assure their sue
cessful rival that they wanted to do
what they could for his election. and
that they wanted to get into the thick
of the fight. He is taking them at
their word and expressing his con-
fidence In them BY asking them to
serve on what will practically amount
to the board Of strategy Of the cam
paign. the body that will settle all
matters of policy. Mr.. Curran expects
that each one of these men, who will
have his own angle on the campaign,
will be of tremendous assistance.
Probably OF more Importance at the
moment than the executive committee is
the finance COMMITTEES. which will col
lect the money for the campaign. 1t
was learned last night that not one cent
had been collected since primary day.
The work of the campaign so far has
been financed by friends. Because Of
the urgency of TINS and other matters
the work of organizing the coalition
campaign committee Is to be hurried as
much as possible. Henry w. Taft will
probably be chairman and a woman
vfce-chairman. In addition to an ex-
ecutive committee and finance COM
mittee Mr.. Taft viii be empowered to
appoint a platform committee and q
budget committee, which will have
charge of spending the money and see
ing that expenses are kept down to the
bone.
Framing cs Platform.
A platform will be framed on which
all the coalition candidates can run. 1t
Is probable that the personal platform.
which President Curran issued during
the primary campaign, will be used as
the backbone OF tho nav document. 1t
will of course be polished up and sup
plemented In a number Of particulars.
Each candidate win be- consulted by the
committee In order that the platform
may as nearly as possible represent the
views of all.
The general coalition committee.
which is now in preparation, will repre-
sent every organization and every share
of opinion that believes the city of New
York needs a change In administration.
1t will have more than 100 members.
and may contain 500. There is great
demand to obtain membership on this
committee. which II being taken as a
most hopeful sign by the coalition
leaders.
The Coalition Committee has fled It's
statement of expenses for the primary
campaign. 1t shows collections OF
roughly $1,000 and expenditures of
$4,000. The .deficit Of $4,000 Is being
carried by the treasurer. This expend-
iture included all that was spent for the
coalition candidates with the exception
OF some spent In Brooklyn for Senator
