FUSION CANDIDATE
MEETS OPPOSITION
Three Others Would Oppose
Tammany's Choice for New
York's MayoraIty.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. August 29.-Three
hurdles are in the pathway of the re-
publican coalition organization in the
race for the New York city mayoralty
nomination on September 13-Maj. r.
H. La Guardia, president of the board
of aldermen; former State Senator
W. NJ Bennett of Brooklyn and Judge
Reuben L. Haskell of Brooklyn.
The republicans and coalitiOnists,
who recently unanimously agreed
upon Maj. Henry II. Curran. president
of the borough. of Manhattan, as their
candidate. are confident he will sur
mount each barrier and that when
the race is over there will be COM
plete harmony in the quadrennial at
tempt to twist the tail of the Tam
many tiger.
Linked with Curran are State Sena-
tor Charles c. Lockwood of Brooklyn,
candidate for controller. and Vim
cent Gilroy, candidate for the presi-
dency of the board of aldermen. Gill
roy's uncle was Tammany mayor OF
New York.

Mai La Guardia, former repre-
sentative in Congress, who served
with the Italian air forces in the
great war. a regular" republican.
has kicked over the traces and an
nounced his opposition to the state
government interfering with city az
fairs. Former Senator Bennett was
the man who upset can-fusion
plans four years ago, when he won
an unexpected victory over the late
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell in the
primaries. Judge Haskell was elected
to the Kings county bench on a wet
platform in spectacular campaign
two years ago.
Tammany Hall has named Mayor
John F. Hylan as candidate to sue
ceed himself, and no opposition has
appeared.
Tammany Hall Dissatisfied-
Some dissatisfaction appeared in
Tammany Hall when Murphy an
nounced his designations on the
ticket. Efforts have been made to
organize an anti-Tammany ticket to
give a place to minor officials who
were left off Murphy's slate for vari-
Gus reasons.
The investigation of the legislative
committee, headed by Senator Schuy-
ler M. Meyer, into Mayor Hylan's
administration, coming in the heat of
the pre-primary campaign, has
aroused intense interest The mayor.
who appeared as the first witness at
open hearings, gave what the COM
mittee called evasive answers when
questioned on the city's finances. The
committee sought generally to prove
that the city had exceeded the debt
limit prescribed by state law and that
the executives administration was
marked by incompetency. The mayor
made categorical denials of the
charges.
The committee will probably con-
tinue it's open inquiry for several
weeks.

DEMAND SUFFRAGE IN JAVA
Upper Class Native Women Reported to Be Making Rapid Strides
 Toward Emancipation.

Amsterdam. Woman's suffrage movements have reached the Dutch East Indies, the colonies whose his tory and ancient savagery were chief ly known to credulous Americans through the agency of circus side shows. wherein the "Wild Man of Borneo" and 'sThe Terrible Dyaks, Fe- rocious Head Hunting Cannibals," drew many dimes while the crowds waited for the "big tent" to open.
 Head hunting and kindred savage pastimes still continue, to some ex- tent, within the jungles of these Dutch islands, but, according to the Dutch press, most of the natives are rapidly adopting modern theories.
 In Java, the upper class native women, under leadership of Baden Adjeng kartini, woman Of high birth, are reported to be making rapid strides toward emancipation, al though the Mohammedan custom Of polygamy still prevails. Ill all the Martini schools" the girls of the up per classes are being taught Occi- dential theories of equality with the men. Dutch correspondents say the progress Of the movement Is ueces- sarily slow, but appears to be certain of ultimate success.

BLOOD PROOF OF PARENTAGE
Test Ordered by San Francisco Judge for First Time in History of
 American Courts.

San Francisco.-For the first time In American courts parentage has been determined by a blood test.
 On the strength of formal re- port made by Dr. Albert Abrams, who, by blood tests, found that Vir- ginia Nittori was the daughter of Paul Vittori, Judge Thomas F. Ora ham ordered Vittori to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court for failure to pay alimony for the support of the child. Mrs. Vittori Is suing for a divorce. Vittori declared that the child was not his, and the court ordered a blood test by Doctor Abrams.
 Doctor Abrams in his report said {:
 "The examination proved conclu- sively that the blood of the daugh- ter corresponded racially to that of the father and mother, viz, Italian on the fathers side and Spanish and French on the mothers side, in pro portion approximately to three of the former to one of the latter, French. Furthermore, the vibratory rate of the child corresponded to that of the fatlfer."
 The vibratory test Is one of the most delicate known to medical sci ence.
