Hylan i'm a Trade
At ''Pier Interests
Attacks Gen. Black
Mayor Suggests That Presi-
dents Aid Be Invoked to
Prevent Removal of Ex-
tensions of Chelsea Piers

Mayor Hylan yesterday renewed his
attack on ''the interests" In this in
stance the Mayor looked to Washing
ton for evidence OF their influence. The
Mayor alleged that the Secretary of
War and General Black, U. s. A.. re-
tired, in charge of harbor works, we're
subservient to the NEW York Central
influence in city affairs" and to the
same old crowd" that represents "the
interests"
mo matter whether we have Repub-
lican or Democratic secretaries at
Washington" said the Mayor. "the
same old crowd seems to get to them.
It's near time that the New York Cen
tral influence in city affairs be elimi-
mated. | don't intend to let the Secre-
tary Of War or General Black run the
city government"
The occasion for the Mayors out
burst was q communication from Dock
Commissioner Murray Hubert trans
mitting letter from the Secretary of
War denying the city's request for a
stay In proceedings to remove the ex-
tensions of the Chelsea piers on the
North River, which had been ordered
by the War Department. Commission
er Hubert said that the removal of
the pier extensions would tend to de-
moralize shipping interests in this city
The Commissioner said that he wss
going to Washington, and Mayor Hylan
suggested that the attention of Presi
dent Harding be called TO the order and
see if something could not be done
about it. Commissioner Hubert said
that what he wanted to try to do was
to get Senators Calder and Wadsworth
to introduce. bill in the Senate over
riding the order of the Secretary of
War, at least until the present dock
improvements we're completed.
The extension of the Chelsea pier
was a war measure. but the Mayor
charged that the railroads were back
of the order for their removal.
Commissioner Hubert pointed out

Higher Fare Bogey
Drove Voters to
Hylan, Says Clark
Defeated Candidate Assails
Governor Miller's Tram
sit Program as Shock
to Home Rule Sentiment

The belief that the Transit Com
mission was created to raise subway
fares was the chief factor in the over
whelming defeat of the coalition forces
at last Tuesdays election, John Kirk
land Clark, candidate for District At
torney, told the mem bers of the Re-
publican Comm ttee OF One Hundred
at the Hotel Plaza yesterday afternoon.
"The first duty &C the corpse is to
sit up and get the number of what
struck him." Mr.. Clark observed in the
beginning Of his address.
II believe. and nine voters out of
every ten believed, that there was no
idea behind the creation Of the Transit
Commits ssion but to work out higher
fare. This, more than any other single
thing, caused this defeat" he said.
"The people do not like Governor
Miller. His creation of the Transit
Commission was shock to their feel
ings on the one subject which is dear
great majority Of the people resented
a bill which amounted to saying that
they were unfit to manage their own
affairs, and whether this be true or
not. it does not get votes"
Mr.. Clark uttered his condemnation
of Governor Miller Immediately after
Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney had de-
livered a speech in praise of aim and
had urged the Committee of One Hun
dred to devote it's efforts for the next
year to preparing for the next state
campaign.
Other minor reasons why the coali-
ton campaign failed were pointed out
by Mr. Clark, such as the inroads of
Tammany upon the colored vote, to the
number of from 10000 to 10000, and
the fact that the coalition forces
failed to get out the independent vote
in the registration campaign, there he
ing a falling off of $4,000 from last
year.
Finally" he said. "thc commissions
appointed to investigate the Mayor
found nothing outstanding to appeal
to the popular imagination. Nothing
OF actual dishonesty was pinned on
Hylan himself. There were minor
cases of graft in his administration
and his political code may not be the
code which appeals to you, but in the
main if a man is not personally dis
honest the voters think he is q pretty

Oles subsequently moved to town,
took up residence at hotel, and cir

ANE OF our subscribers was impressed with the
~ fact that The Encyclopaedia Britannica be-
sides being the useful Of books, was also
superb example Of the printers art. He decided
he wanted binding that would be beautiful in itself
without sacrificing the utility of the books.
In order carry this idea he asked us to bind
his set in soft suede 1eather-snlar to that used
in high grade gloves. He was delighted with the
result. The suede binding is flexible but strong,
beautiful but servceable, and luxurious without
being ostentatious. Best of ALL these books lie flat
in their case-no book ought to stand upright.
We thought the idea would interest Others and
in short time we had sold thousands of bound
in this way. When the United States entered the
we had to discontinue this style of binding be-
cause it impossible get the leather. Today
are able to buy enough suede leather to bind up
SO We suggest that The Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA in this binding would make superb Christmas
gift.
You may examine these volumes at your leisure
at our Reading Rocn the East Balcony of the
Grand Central Terminal, where, IL you wish,
you secure set for early delivery. Or, if you
prefer, write New York office, zSS
Fourth Avenue. We advise you, however, that we
shall be able supply only so this style, and
these are likely to be soon exhausted.
The price Of the is the as before the ,rar
aud you extend your payments q year ana
half if you desire.
The picture gives some idea of how the set will
look in your home. 1t cannot give any idea of the
richness and quiet elegance of the binding. These
books will add beauty and distinction to any library
living room. They attractive to the eye and
pleasing to the touch. You enjoy taking up one of
these volumes to read, and yet it is pleasure merely
to observe their exquisite binding against the back
ground of their deep mahogany case, itself decora-
tive article of furniture with shelf for each volume.
This by the goes with each set and is in
cuded in the price
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is unique in that
other work attempts give all general knowledge.
The suede binding is unique in that no other
book Is bound in this way.
The price unique in that it is the pre-war price
The special bookcase to contain the suede bound
volumes has three shelves for the three New
Volumes of The Encyclopaedia Britannica which
will soon be issued and which will contain the only
accurate and impartial history OF the and its
cause.

STANFORD AND CALIFORNIA TO
 BATTLE TOMORROW IN THE NEW
 STADIUM; BIG CROWD EXPECTED

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Nov. 1S-Up from grassy spot on the Stanford campus there has risen, within the last six months, with magic like speed, a huge sta dum, one of the largest in the United States, which will be formally dedi- cated when the two ancient foes. annual football big game here to- morrow.
 Approximately 65 coo people caa he seated in the Stanford Stadiuls ana it is thought that if the weather is good on the day of the Ca.!forniu game every seat will be taken. It the stadium is filled, the crowd will be the largest in Western football history.
 Only the Yale bowl, with it's ca pacity for 77 900 people, can handle a larger crowd, according to records here. The Harvard Stadium seats 45,000. the new University of Michi- gan Stadium 10000, the Palmer Sta dium at Princeton 42,000, and the New York Polo Grounds 30,000 In the West Paddock Field at Pasadena seats 45000, the University of Wash ington Stadium at Seattle 30,000, the Tacoma Stadium 35000, and a sta dium in San Diego 5000 The sta dium being planned by the University of California will be able to accom- modate 60,000.
 Stanford engineers last May an nounced the plans for the stadium and made promise, which was de clared by many to be impossible, that the structure would be ready for the California game this year The cost, it was announced, would be held to $210,000, a comparatively low figure.
 Contracts were let immediately
