Richard Croker, formerly boss of
Tammany Hall, is very wise man,
bu. he overlooked one element when,
sailing for Ireland several days ago,
lie said: "The women will win this
election for Curran." 1t will not be
the women alone, for the men and
women of New York are united on
the proposition that Hylan and Hearst
must go.
That estimate of the situation by
Henry III. Curran, coalition candidate
for Mayor. last night at Public School
81 Forty-second street and Third
avenue, brought forth storm of ap-
plause that indicated he was far from

millionaire out Of town deputies"
within an hour after he becomes
Mayor. That, he said, will be the
first step in bouncing out of Office
every Hearst appointee, every incom-
petent Hylan official and bringing an
end Of Hearst's California Mayorship
Of New York through Hylan as dummy
head of the Government.

Curran pledged, will go tumbling Ed

since Hearst's Man Friday Hylan got
into office"
Mr.. Curran told his story OF the sim

to mean and OF his determination to
throttle It. to half dozen audiences all
over Manhattan last night--Turn Hall.

himself admitted that I am going to
win the election. He was right about
that. but he left out one thing. He said
the women would win the election for
me. He left out the men. The men and
women of New York together are going
to win this election. We are all to-
gether on this.
