DAM O'CONNOR, NAMED
IN BUS STORY, DEAD

Dan" OConnor of Brooklyn. who
was named by Louis Riedl In testimony
before the Transit Commission as the
man who told him he would have TO put
up $4,000 for the big Chief IL he
wanted to extend his bus operations to
Manhattan, is dead.
Joseph Fennelly, Deputy Commits
sioner OF Public Works in Brooklyn,
who was described by Riedl as OCon-
nor's friend, is authority for the state
ment "rhe wnote thing is ridiculous.
preposterous !" exclaimed Mr.. Fennelly
yesterday. John II. McCooey. Demo-
cratic leader of Kings county, described
the story as "flapdoodle fuzzwuzz."
I'm regard to the testimony published
in the public press in the so-called
Transit Commission investigation" said
Mr.. Fennelly, II would say there was
no suggestion from me certainly, nor
from any one that / know OF, that any
consideration was expected from Mr..
Riedl. nor did ! hear any such matter
discussed by any one.
''Mr. O'Connor was an active civic
worker in his section and was county
committeeman in our organization. He
never held a political position TO my
knowledge. and as far as / know never
sought political preferment. He died
some time ago holding the good opinion
of his many friends. / do not think
that these statements that have been
made will in any way affect that good
opinion"

DETECTIVES TRAIL
BUS BRIBE WITNESS
Shearn Says Reidl Has Been
Feared Since He VOlun-
teered to Testify.
HYLAN CHARGES TRICK
Asserts .Discredited' Man Was
Called to Influence
Election.

Mayor Hylan. in his daily statement
yesterday denounclng the Transit Com
mission, charged Chairman George Nc
Aneny and Counsel Clarence ]. Shearn
With descending to a particularly low
form or political trickery in allowing
Louis Reidl to go on the witness stand
In the bus inquiry Tuesday and testify
regarding alleged graft IN the operation
OF the bus lines. The Mayor referred
to Mr.. Reidl who is an exporter, as a
"discredited and irresponsible witness"
and said:
II am not amazed that Shearn and
McAneny should stoop to this, because
they are evidently willing TO try to put
over anything before election time"
An answer TO the Mayors statement
was issued by Mr.. Shearn. He explained
that Mr.. Reidl was a voluntary witness
and declared that whether or not the
"revolting story OF graft and intimida-
ton" related by him under oath is true
can best be determined when all th4 cor
roborating evidence is in. He added:
mo reason is apparent to me why
Mr.. Reldl should come forward. as he
cid, and tell this sordid story. Indeed.
IL can only result so far as he Is con-
cerned. in disagreeable publicity and
persecution. Since he first rang me up
and offered to testify. telling us that
the disclosures of graft that were being
made daily at the Transit Commissions
inquiry made him feel that 1t was his
duty to tell of his own personal expert
ence, he has been constantly shadowed
by detectives. This shows that some
body knew that he was q menace and
might become a witness. The parties
involved even went to the extent Of
sending a man to him last week, who
misrepresented himself as coming from
me, and tried to worm a statement out
of him which would indicate to them
how far he would go IL called as a
Witness"
Mayor Hylan declared that he was
particularly amazed at the testimony
of Reidl because right under their very
nose In the office of the Transit Com
mission" is the record and testimony
of Reidl. who was a witness before the
commission on December Is, 1919. with
reference to his failure TO operate buses
in September. 1919.
"He was examined by the commits
sion's counsel at this time" the Mayor
said. "and not one word did he mention
then that any one suggested or at
tempted to solicit perquisite or briba
from him In return for the permit for
bus operation which he received from
the Board OF Education
The Mayor declared that Reidl who
admitted ther that he had grievanca
against Commissioner Whalen. never
made good on his promise to operate
buses and that the permit was taken
from him.
II have just run through the testi-
mony," Mr.. Shearn said. "and observe
that the hearing had nothing to do with
the motives that led to the sudden re-
scinding Of the franchise"

Jurisdiction OF this commission. But
by resorting to this device of getting
a permit from department that has no

Chief OF this bus business TO charge

his consent through the Intervention of
Tom O'Neil, the district leader. That
is one of the evils OF this situation"

Shearn then demanded: What possible
basis Is there for your giving UP two
thirds OF the proceeds OF this business

into it. have not helped secure its per
init and have no financial interest in.4 t

Because they are friends OF mine"

dent. don't you know that they are
mere blinds and dummies and that this
money goes TO Tom O'Neil?"
II don't know anything about it," re-
Piled the witness, his hands working
nervously at the seat OF the witness
chair.
Now. honestly" said Mr.. Shearn In
more conciliatory tone. Isn't It your
understanding that Tom O'Neil owns
two-thirds of this bus business with you
and that It is In the name OF these two
dummies?"
mo, sir; nothing OF the kind I" cried
the witness in an injured tone.
AS the witness was excused Mr.. Red
ington reminded him that he is Under

ton OF the safe"

100000 Socialist Votes.

A conservative estimate of the vol
ume of Socialist influence places the
figure at a minimum of 10000 in the
city, with something like 10000 in the
industrial sections above The Bronx,
including Buffalo. Rochester. Syra-
cuse, Schenectady, Utica, Troy and
Albany. The Democratic leaders are
depending on two things to win over
as many Socialist votes as are sus-
ceptible to persuasion, material and
otherwise.
In their appeals to Socialist follow
ers in the city Democratic candidates
are urging the acceptance of the plat
form adopted by the Syracuse con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Smith
for Governor. They have pointed out
tho close resemblance between the
doctrines in the Syracuse platform
and those enunciated by the Socialist
platform.
Another influence on which Demo
Gratis are counting to win Socialist
support is the Socialism of former
Mayor Lunn of Schenectady. In their
arguments TO Socialist followers the
Democratic managers place great
stress on the opportunity provided
voters of this class to register their
protests against the policies of tho
Harding Administration. the Republi-
can Congress and the course pursued
by Gov Miller at Albany.
The amount of prosecuting by DEM
ocratic district leaders In the five bor-
oughs among voters of Socialistic
sympathy has angered the supporters
Of Edward i. Cassidy, the Socialist
nominee for Governor. Mr.. Cassidy
denounces in every speech "the fake
progressive platform" put forward by
the Democrats to cntice Socialist
voters. The Republican managers,
who appreciate the strategic opportu-
mites OF the situation. are naturally
encouraging the Socialist leaders to
resist the Tammany raiders as a
means for keeping the radical vote
from Smith. Cassidy, Gerber, Leib-
man and other Socialist leaders have
warned their followers throughout the
city TO refuse to make any deals with
Democratic leaders or nominees.

Feeling Against Smith.


that Tammauy and Democratic leaders
I'm various parts of the city are offer
ing attractive inducements" to So
cialist voters to cast their ballots for
Smith. 1t is significant that the So
cialist leaders express more confidence
in Gov. Miller to protect their rights
than they do in the local Democratic
officials.
The Governor is regarded as mild
reactionary," TO use the term OF one
of the Socialist leaders. The Socialists
express little sympathy for his candi-
dacy and under ordinary circum-
stances would single him out as a tar
get for a characteristically vicious at
tack. The fact is the Governor is dis
missed with a general denunciation
more particularly directed against his
party than himself
Socialist resentment against Smith
is mainly due to his refusal to exhibit
greater sincerity for the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Con-
veption which nominated him and
which was first hailed by the Social
lists as acceptable to the followers of
internationalism and the doctrines of
Debs Mr. Smiths bid for the sup
port of the business element" and
his association with a corporation
seeking a monopoly of the trucking
privileges OF the city is said by So
cialist leaders to have lost him great
deal of support that a frank indorse-
ment of the Democratic platform
might have won for him.
The methods employed by Demo-
cratic leaders in the city districts has
naturally accentuated the opposition
to him in Socialist quarters He is
now regarded as "reactionary' pure
and simple, and If anything. '1ess lib
erar' in his personal views and sense
OF official obligation than Gov. Miller.

Praises GiIbert's Work.

Joshua Lehman, executive secretary
of the local Socialist party. told the
writer yesterday that there would not
be so much resentment among the fol-
lowers of Socialism if the Democratic
leaders confined themselves to honest
missionary work" in the effort to win
the radical support for Mr.. Smith.
But when 1t comes TO fighting the
Tammany plug uglies and gangsters
who are illegally colonizing voters in
districts where the Socialists stand a
good chance to win" he said. I'VE are
helpless. We cannot fight that way,
and our protests and appeals for pro
lection have so far been useless. Mr..
Gilbert, who has been exposing the at
tempts of Tammany TO colonize Tam
many henchmen and secure for legal
Republican voters the protection that
the law guarantees, has rendered great
assistance to us.
HE and other representatives OF
the Republican party, who cannot
hope to win Socialist support for the
candidates OF that party. have at least
tried to get us a square deal. II we
do get IL we Will roll up record
breaking vote as a protest agoinst the
policies of both the Republicans and
Democrats. With equal opportunity
enjoyed by the Democrats and Re
publicans / believe our vote In the

will elect at least four members in
Congress and a larger number of State
legislators at Albany than ever in
our history"

In several districts where the Social
lists are confident of electing their can
didates for Congress, the State Senate

men. the Socialist leaders have pro-
tested to the prosecuting officials
against the colonization and illegal

Democratic managers are encoun-
tering a good deal Of stubborn opposi-
ton to their plans for corralling the
bulk of the radical vote OF New York
city and State. Upon the distribution
of this class of voters may depend the
result OF the struggle between the Re
publican and Democratic parties for
the control of the state.
Evidence that Tammany Hall and
the Democratic organizations in the
other four boroughs attach unusual
Importance to the support of the radi-
cal groups is known to the leaders Of
the Socialist party, the Farmer-Labor
party and eighty-e eight labor unions
which are united under the head of
the American Labor party
In several districts on the East Side
of Manhattan, in The Bronx, in the
eastern section Of Brooklyn and in the
river districts in Queens Democratic
leaders are displaying unprecedented
energy in trying to win away from
the Socialist groups enough votes to
roll up a plurality in the city, which
the supporters of former Governor Al
Smith realize he must have TO over
come the vote which Gov. Miller will
receive in the districts north Of The
Bronx. In some of these districts the
Democratic local leaders are openly
fighting with the Socialists for the
control Of the radical vote.

run away with the election regardless
of legal and ethical restriction. In this
district Meyer London, the only So
cialist in the present Congress, is a
candidate for reelection against Sam
uel Dickstein Democrat, and Louis
Zeltner, Republican. Under normal
conditions and with equal opportunity
London would be almost certain OF re-
election.
Democratic raids on his supporters,
however, plus irregularities. are ad-
mitted by Socialist leaders seriously to
jeopardize his chances. The Socialist
leaders assert that If the rights of their
supporters are properly protected they
will elect their Congressional candi-
