Samuel Umerrnyer yesterday refused
the invitation of Senator Abraham Kap-
Ian to. debate abe transit issue.
Senator Kaplan's interview is on its
face so hopelessly uninformed and shows
so plainly that he has never even read
the commissions plan or my plan, or
that. if he has read either or both. he
does not know what they mean, that
cannot hope 10 be able to enliGhten SEN
ator Kaplan in a single days debate.
and accordingly decline the invitation
said Mr.. Unterinyer.

delivered by me at the City Cluo. ana

assure five cent fare, pretendS that l
am not opposed to an increased fare IS
more a fit subject for a primary educa-
ton than for the kind OF debate upon
which he would like TO have me enter.
Time Is too precious and life is too short
for that sort OF thing.
"For Mr.. Kaplans enlightenment, I
may say That the correspondence be-

consistently opposed to any attempt 10

Mayor then. when there was still time
for him TO act, to see to II that the city's

have informed himself of what he was
talking about before he began to talk.
AS for the attack made Saturday
night by Henry Klein. Deputy Commits
sioner of Accounts. Mr.. Untermyer said ::
"<iein's yarns about me or my son

The Transit Commission had no COM
ment upon Mr.. lUntermyer's rejoinder
defending the constitutionality of his
plan to guarantee a five cent fare by city
loans to cover Operating deficits. but "
Is understood a statement will be issued
this week supporting the commissions
position and replying also to other critics
of the plan.
Public hearings before the commission
were announced to begin early this week,
and II is understood the matter OF a

FREEDOM FOR ROBBERS

Attorneys Office by John kirkland
Clark, the coalition candidate for that
Office, in a statement issued at his

During the years that Tammany

Clark. there has been constant in

pace with the constantly increasing
laxity in the proper prosecution of
offences. The result is that this city
to-day not only is the haven for crimi-
nals from all over the country, but
tracted to this city of relaxed prose-
cution.

The breakdown of the calendar costs
the county about $500 day. Mr.. Clark
