Surrogate Cohalan said "The New
York World had ignored his challenge
d show single dollar that had gone
sstrsy in the fourteen years of his
adgeshin. although the vast sum of
yi,O8oGooo00 had passed through his
sourS in ,thGt time.
4Ths reason The World has ignored
..ss challenge" said Cohalan, "is be-
;suss the records show that every
state intrustcd to my care has been
sonestly administered, and after exam
ming that record the Bar Associa-
ion Of the City of New York certi-
fled to the honesty of my administra
ion, my independence and my faith
iulness to the trust reposed in me as
Surrogate.

tehslsn said:
Jaleman, who was put up to divert
Mindependent Y and Republican vote
