The Rev. Or. Samuel Smith Drury, head
master Of st. Paul's School Concord, N.
III. svas elected to the Trinity rectorship
last spring. but ne found that his attach
ment to the school was too strong. and
after considering the matter for two

All the twenty vestrymen and two
wardens attended yesterdays meeting In
the parish house Of Trinity at 1877 Fulton
street Bishop Manning. who continues
to hold the rectorship until his successor
ie Installed, presided After some dis
cussion Of various candidates the eiec-
stion Of Mr.. Stetson was made unanimous
and the committee Of notification ap-
pointed.
Naturally there have been a number
Of aspirants for so distinguished post.
Many Of the parishioners wished to have
one Of the Trinity Wears elected. but
they were unable to agree as to which
one Of these it should be.
Bishop Manning said last night: IT

From the seminary he went to Washing
ton to the Church of the Good Shepherd

HYLAN SAYS CURRAk
DODGES ON TRANSIT
Traction Arguments Fizzled,
so He Turns to Schools,
Mayor Says.
MAKES TOUR OF QUEENS
Tells Four Crowds of His Eff
forts to Give Seat to
Every Child.
MAKES TOUR OF QUEENS

Mayor John r.. Hylan made tour
OF Queens Borough last night. making
four speeches In Long Island City.
Newtown, Flushing and Jamaica on
"the subject of education. and why II
is that Candidate Curran exhibits such
painful .nxiety TO avoid the traction
question" The Mayor declared that
Mr.. Curran's comment after ten
days brooding over the Miller Transit
Plan 'fizzled so dismally. and was so
utterly Intellectual as screen TO oD-
scure his real status as the Increased
Fare Candidate, that he shifted his line
cf attack to schools"
Mr.. Hylan's first speech was TN Het-
fingers Hall in Long Island city. and
his others were In the Newtown High
School. the Flushing High School and
the Jamaica Training School In each
place he spoke before q large crowd and
was well received.
II will not permit Mr.. Curran to dodge
the traction ISSUE" Mr. Hylan declared.
but his desire TO enter upon educational
matters will be accommodated. His
shifting OF subjects shows his trans
parent craftinose. but he overreaches
himself This Is so because the CHIEF
financial hackers behind the Miller COM
mission higher fare plan, which candi-
date Curran espouses, are the same in
terests which have been frustrated by
me In their attempt to mould for their
own base purpose the educational system
in the city schools. .
THE chief security holders in traction
and all the other public utility corpora
tions of New York are the Rockefellers.
The chief financial hackers and sup
porters of the Gary school system to nit
the children for the mill and factory are
the Rockefellers, through the Rockefeller
General Education Board and the Public
Education Association.
The Rockefellers and their associates
are the chief financial hackers or the
Curran campaign. and they were his
largest contributors when he ran for
Borough President In 1919.
His two years of inaction in the
Board of Estimate in failing to aid me
with a single practical move or sug-
gestion to advance educational facilities
cannot be obliterated from the record
now by his strident and inaccurate bel
lowing against the school system"
Mr. Hylan, armed with a mass of
figures and statistics, furnished by Su-
perintendent OF Schools Ettinger. went
into great detail regarding the number
of elementary and high schools In use.
the number OF pupils on part time and
the strides he is making in his efforts
to catch up with them and give every
child a seat in classroom.

UNTERMYER FOR 2 p. C.

Believes EUen That Is Exces-

In arguing q case before Judge
Learned Hand In the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday Samuel Inter
myer. counsel for the Lockwood Lcgis-
lative Investigating Committee. declared
per cent on the valuation Of property
Is sufficient return to a landlord. In
many cases. he said, even that return
was excessive. and no contended that
z per cent. should be the maximum for
landlords to receive.
Mr.. Untermyer appeared against the
confirming OF special masters report on
rents OF the apartment house at 1868
Southern Boulevard. The Bronx, which
the special master held were reasonable.
Mr. Untermyer said the owners had

TEST BORINGS SOON
FOR RICHMOND TUBE
Estimate Board Takes Steps
to Push Plan for Tunnel
Under the Narrows.

The Board Of Estimate gave author
ity yesterday to it's special committee
on the Bruollyn-Richuond freight and
passenger tunnel to seek permission
from the Federal Government to make
preliminary borings looking to the con-
struction of the tunnel.
The action was taken upon a report
Of the committee outlining a plan for a
freight and passenger tunnel under the
Narrows with connections to the Staten
Island piers ana to proposed indus
trial railroad along the Brooklyn water
front. costing s5l 100000
The report elaborated the plan to in
clude the construction Of belt line
tIict going from Haworth. N. j.. down
the west side Of the Hudson River
and connecting with trunk lines in New
Jersey. crossing by bridge to Staten
Island, thence through the tunnel to
Brooklyn. where It would connect with
the Long Island Railroad and the con-
Meeting railroad to The Brcnx. with a
branch running southwark from the
Long Island Railroad to Jamaica Bay.
The cost Of the entire project. includ-
ing the tunnel. was estimated at $141,-
0oo, 900.
Such a plan, 1t was said. would give
all rail freight and passenger service
to every borough. would relieve pier
corgestior and would permit the full
development Of Staten Island, Jamaica
pox ,,l
projects. ~
The committees report proposes tha,
the city shall bear the cost of the tun-
mel. while the cost of the belt line rail-
road would be divided between the city
and the trunk lines upon q basis to
be determined.
Mayor Hy!an conferred with repre-
sentatives of the trunk line roads last
August regarding their use Of the tunnel
and the roads asked that the matter be
presented to them again when more
fully developed. In voting authority to
the committee to take the plan to the
Federal Government. Comptroller Charles
l.. Craig stipulated that the board was
not voting an approval of the plan.
The tunnel scheme - being worked
out under an act Of the Legislature last
spring authorizing the city to undertake
work be under way at the end of two
years from the date OF the act. failing
In which, authority expires. Several
contingencies are to be grappled with
before actual work begins. important
among which are provision of the
money for the work and determination
of whether the city can divide the tunnel
contract or would be compelled to let
the contract for the entire project at
once.
The committee which prepared the
reports, consists Of Arthur S. Tlttle.

Dock Commissioner Murray Hubert.
