BUSINESS MEN FAIL
TO NDORSE HYLAN
League Which Sponsored
Him Four Years Ago May
Repudiate Mayor.
DISGUSTED BY RECORD
Executive Board at Meeting
Unable to Agree on Sup
porting Him.
LYNN AMONG INSURGENTS
Organization Discusses Possi-
bility Of Investigating
City Investigators
DISGUSTED BY RECORD
LYNN AMONG INSURGENTS

So disgusted is the Business Mems
League, sponsor of Mayor Hylan's can
didacy four years ago, with the Hylan
record of extravaganza and inefficiency
that at a meeting yesterday the
leagues executive board was unable
to agree TO support It's erstwhile pro-
tege for another term. On the con-
trary. It was stated, the chances very
much favor the league repudiating
Hylan altogether In the forthcoming
campaign and throwing its support
behind any candidate who appears
more promising of business sagacity
and ordinary horse sense in the han
ding Of the city's affairs
The leagues reversal Of sentiment fell
like bombshell in Tammany circles. for
Immediately after Charles +. Murphy's
announcement that Tammany would
back Hylan again for Mayor the Busi-
ness Mems League announced a cam
paign for business mans candidate"
for Governor In the next gubernatorial
campaign. That announcement led to
rather free speculation that the league
had TanfInany's candidate in mind for
Preston P. Lynn of the Business Mems
committee refused to discuss the execu-
tive committees attitude toward Hylan.
II was understood, however, that Mr..
Lynn was one Of the leaders in the in
surgent movement against Hylan in the
league.
It was learned also that the Business
Mems League Is not greatly in favor OF
so much investigation of city affairs and
discussed at it's meeting the possibility
of Investigating the Investigators" hav-
ing reference specifically to the Meyer
legislative committee. No action was
taken.
The league readily conceded. however,
that ''the only way to bring this sort OF
thing TO an end Is capable and courage
Gus administra ton of the city's affairs"
That could best be accomplished. the
league members thought. by IAN honest
intelligent non-partisan revision Of the
city's charter"

Although Somewhat Injured by 35 Foot Drop
to Street, in Escaping Death.

effort to escape being hit the little girl

bones fractured or other serious injuries

wouldn't let her go to the picnic. How

BIG HOLIDAY TRAFFIC
SKATERS RECORDS
Railroad and Steamboat Lines
Still Unable to Give Totals
for Four Days.

The railroad and steamboat companies
which carried the holiday crowds into

yesterday still have forces al the task
of figuring out the totals of passengers
carried but the number was so enor-
nous that a day or two more must go
by before an absolute count can be
made. About all that is certain now is
that the crowds were the largest ever
han1led within four days In the history
of ransp ortation.

is a common habit do what we

of all Is that SO many of us are
unconscious of the fact, and
deny that such practice exists,

There are some persons who
are always looking for flaws,
irrespective of the goodnesses

such think they find what they

Dodgers Prove Easy Victims
OF Only Bespectacled Pitcher
Meadows Again Proves
He is Sole Big League
Hurler of the Phillies

The Dodgers entertained the Phillies
for the last time this year at Ebbets
Field yesterday and lost listless con-
test to "Specs" Meadows, the big league
pitcher of the. cellar champions.
Meadows won the decision by score Of
s.. to 2. The attendance was the small
est Of the season, scarcely 1000 be-
ing present.
The victory was the only one for
Philadelphia in the four game series,
and it made the seasons total between
the clubs sixteen victories for the
Dodgers and six for Wilhelm's boys.
Meadows limited the Dodgers to
seven hits and might have scored a
shut-out but for two errors in the sixth
inning. Although the Phillies fielded
poorly, they made up for these defects
by their timely hitting. Every one Of
the Phillies contributed to the twelve
hits, with the exception of Monroe.
Five of the hits were for extra bases
and all helped in the scoring. The
aged Jack Miller contributed a single,
double and a triple.
Strike Out Eleven Men
Ferdie Schupp and Sherry Smith
could not stop the Phillies from hitting
but they piled up eleven strike-outs at
the expense of the tailenders. Schupu
while Smith got the other two. Ferdie
retired the side on strike-outs in the
first inning.
Ray Schmandt provided the only
fielding feature when he grabbed fou

Meadows was the batter and the bases
were filled at the time.
The Phillies took two-run lead by
punching three hits in the fourth
