Joseph Shallek, campaign manager
tor James j. Hines, Democratic candi-
date for President of the Borough of
Manhattan, announced last night that
earlier in the day Supreme Court JUS
tlce Francis Martin had issued an or
der to show cause why a summary
order should not issue permitting Hines
to inspect official records for the DUR
pose of ascertaining his position and
number on the primary ballot as a
candidate for the borough presidency
The order was directed to the Board
OF Elections and John f. Voorhis. it's
chairman.
The order of Justice Martin was OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Shallek said, on two an
daVlts. che made by Mr.. Hines and
the other by himself, alleging that the
Board OF Elections had refused to per-
nit the FORMER an inspection Of the
records. The order is returnable at
1880 O'Clock this morning. The affi-
davlts presented to Judge Martin state
tnat Mr.. Hines has contracted for GER
tam advertising and printing matter
Which cannot be sent to press because
the number and position of Hines on
the primary ballot are unknown to him
and therefore cannot be included in his
advertising.
Political Funeral" Vetoed
The anti-Murphy candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President
of the Borough of Manhattan put his
loot down on the proposed political
funeral" and burial of Charles F..
Murphy to-day. In this Hines was
ably seconded by Mrs. Ernestine Stew
art, chairman of the women's division
OF the Hines antiMurphy campaign,
and also by Joseph Shallek, his cam
palgn manager.
Shallek, in formal statement
characterized the proposed parade as
unauthorized" 1t was said to have
been the dream of an over-imaginative
press agent, and after it made it's
second appearance in the newspaper
Hines and his managers got together
and thought it time to put stop to
its further circulation.
A considerable number of Illness
supporters, however, favored carrying
out the press agents idea.
Fighting for Principle
THE newspaper accounts of funeral
parade were not authorized bv Mr.
Hines or his campaign committee. ,
said Shallek. eve are in a serious
fight. We are fighting for principle
and an ideal-the regeneration Of the
Democratic party in the City of New
YORK, the elimination of Murphy and
Murpnylsm from our body polite, the
infusion Of new blood in a party which
under the present leadership Of Boss
Murphy lost out for the first time in
twenty years to straight Republican
ticket two years ago. We are irvine
to save the party, and that only can BIZ
done by eliminating Murphy and Muir.
phylsnl, which can be ACCOMPLISHED by
the nomination of James j. Hines fo1
Borough President of Manhattan in the
democratic primaries on September 13
The fact that the political funeral
procession was officially called of
was Joy to Tammany Hall, for it wa,
proposed that the hearse with tn,
coffin labeled &C. F. M" and the m ourn
ers in automobiles should slow up a,
they passed Tammany Hall and pla,
Hail to the Chief" in funeral marcl
time. Boss Murphy was said to b,
greatly concerned over the propose,
funeral" and some of his friends
were for calling on Police Commits
sioner Enright to stop it.
This phase of the situation--the en-
trance of the police on the scene some
where along the route of the proposes
parade-is said to have weighed con
siderably with Hines and his associ
ates who were opposed to the "Mur
ply funeral" idea.
Outing for Women Workers
Hundreds of automobiles of friend
OF Hines which were to have taker
part in the parade will be used insteat
to give the women workers an outing
These workers, under Mrs. Stewart
have been making house to hous,
canvass of the entire borough, and j,
virtually every home visited were as
sured of support for Hines.
What especially has made the enroll
ment of these women voters an cas-,
matter is their knowledge that Bos
Murphy fought steadily against grant
ing the women suffrage. and that som
of his district leaders, gave out inter
views when the fight for suffrage wa
almost won, attacking women for want
Ing the vote. This, coupled with th
knowledge that Murphy has been lend
ing support to the efforts of William
Randolph Hearst to drive ex-Governo
Alfred L. Smith out of political powe
and Murphy's general highhandedness
has been responsible for winning thou
sands of active recruits to the Hine
anti Murphy camp
