New-York tribune., 1921-11-04
Police Commissioner and put him in

t.oilce commissioner and put him IN
charge of tho Detective Bureau and
make him Second Deputy Commissioner.
| told the Mayor Mr.. Solovei was not
the kind of man that wanted as one
Of my deputies. He (Honest John
Hylan) asked me why not, and | said
because he had been counsel for the
pickpocket trust and did not want
that sort Of man as Deputy Commits
sioner.
"'Thc Mayor said: "Oh, he has rep
resented few. pickpockets, but have
known him long tiinc."'
Mr.. Jerome repeated Mayor Hylan's
words with all the drollery of which
he was capable, aud his East Side au-
dience burst into laughter.
Then he told of Solovei's appoint
rnent on the Board of Standards and
Appeals, Of his appeal to his associate,
Beatty, TO withdraw his objection to
the building of a garage in IA tenement
quarter because there was "a piece of
change in it" for Solovei.
"The next appearance OF Mr.. Solovei," !"
continued MIR. Jerome, twas when Hy-
Ian put him in the Corporation Coun-
sells Office as an assistant, and he
stayed there until Federal grand jury
indicted him.
"Now. those were the intimate
friends of Hylan. Three of the four
are gone. Hylan is the only one left
not under indictment or convicted of a
crime. Will you elect him to be your
Mayor again?"
At Cooper Union Mr.. Jerome closed
his address with plea to the women
saying:
If this gang of crooks is returned
to office next Tuesday the blame may
De placed on you women of New York.
| have always been able in measure
to feel out how the people think
cannot sense it at this time, but
cannot believe that we will elect this
man and his crook associates. For
Gods sake, realize what we have en-
dured for four years. I have not the
faith in the man vote / once had. They
are somewhat calloused to these
things.
II have a very great faith, though,
IN what the women are going to DO.
God show that that hope is we'll placed!
You women have got to do the trick"
Untermyer Answers Hylan
Mr.. Untermyer said:
There has been nothing in the past
relations between Mayor Hylan and my
self that justifies his undignifed and
olsrespectful references to me as Sam
or 'Untermyer.' If the Mayor persists
in discussing me, who am not q candi-
date, instead Of addressing himself to
the issues and telling us how he pro-
poses to restore the Scent fare, for
which am fighting, l may be tempted,
instead of referring to him as the
Mayor which have always done ou.
of respect to the Office that he holds, 70
address him as the John-Fake- Hylan'
that he is.
when contrast the bumptious
swagger with which he has been trav-
cling the city in his electioneering
campaign, invading the pulpit of a
sacred house of worship, stirring up
sectarian feeling and violating ali the
decencies of citizenship, but consist
emily lodging discussion of and lying
to the voters about the issues of the
campaign, with the modest, gentle
manly, sincere, dignifed, intelligent
and unobstrusive way in which Maj
Curran is going about among the people
appealing to their reason and citizen
ship, / wonder of what our voters can
be thinking, that they hesitate as be-
tween these two violent contrasts in
men as to which of them will the more
ably and faithfully represent their in
terests."
