Mr.. Hylan. His service to the public In
his present engagement has been con-
sistently fine, and no cheap abuse from
the Mayor Is likely to dim y.
"The time for this bus investigation
was not selected by the Transit Com
mission. Judge Mullans injunction, fol-
lowing two years Of consistent court de-
cisions of the same description. would
have halted all the Mayors bus opera
ton IL the Commission had not stepped
in and secured from Judge Mullan a
stay of proceedings under which the
buses are still running. That stay, how
ever. Is temporary in character.
Part of the argument presented to
the court was that if 1t were granted
the Commission would proceed at once
to ascertain the facts on which It's GER
tificates of convenience and necessity
might be granted to the bus owners. In
case the Board Of Estimate does It's part

The commission naturally does not
propose to grant its certificates withou,

situation. That information 1t is pro-
ceedng to get Some of the develop
ments of yesterday were as surprising
to it as they could have been to the
Mayor. but because the Mayor is dis
comfited by the disclosures made the
commission cannot halt its inquiry. He
must be warned and the people assured
that as a a,matter of f,public duty nothing
will deter the investigation in tho

The commission has not commented
on the testimony presented. nor at
tempted TO characterize the conduct OF
those who have been affected by the
disclosures made. They will have ample
opportunity to tell their own stories.
Meanwhile the people Of the city
and the bus riders may be assured that
the commission proposes not only to
retain and to legalize every serviceabl
bus line, but that before 1t finishes
its work the Mayors bus system will
be superseded by a real one. operated

and claim Increases under special leg
islation applying to veterans These
claims have been tentatively allowed,
but will be tested. and II the court de-

Another item which the Mayor wants

He will ask the Justices to reconsider
their recommendations. in which case
the city might save several hundred

The 1873 budget was turned over to
examiners and accountants yesterday

the elimination or every unnecessary
item. Public hearings will be held

In view of the fact that there are no
salary increases except those made

Insurance Men Hear Princeton
President and Commissioner
at Dinner.

The Genoa conference failed be-
cause the United States was not a
participant and the forthcoming Hague
conference is bound to fail unless the
United States enters it, is the belief OF
DIR. John Grier Hibben, president OF
Princeton. The time has come for Amer
lea to take some part in European af-
fairs and the logical outcome of the
Washington armament conference Is the
appearance of the United States at some
conference in Europe, he said last night
TO more than 500 members of the Insur-
ance Society of New York in the Ho-
tel Astor at their twenty-first annual
meeting.
DIR. Hibben said the confused and cha
otic- forces at work throughout the
world to-day are working toward a
definite end--toward a something that is
inevitable unless there can be introduced
some new force--a something that will
make for better condition OF healthful-
ness and confidence throughout the
world. He went on:
II know OF only one force ir sigh
that can be able to bring that about
and that is the power of the United
States Government amidst the chaos o.:
Europe at this time. This power mus.
be exercised in only one way-no- a.
during the war. by expire sing our gen.
erosty, not by lending money-but by
the figure Of a great personality who
will be able to lay down his fist or soms

DR.. Hibben said he defied any man to

ical rela tions. He said they are SO
closely interlocked that they virtually
are one and that there cannot be one
without the other He continued

CITIZENS UNION SAYS
1T DEFENDS RICHMOND
Tells Hylan 1t Is Not Blocking
Improvements.

"The Citizens Union Is doing nothing
OF the sort" was its reply yesterday
to Mayor Hylan's statement that in en-
joining the city from constructing a COM
bined freight and transit passenger tube
between Brooklyn and Staten Island It
was blocking his attempt to improve the
transit facilities of Staten Island. The
union declared it's action was more In
the interest of Staten Island than OF
any other part OF the city.
The Citizens Union pointed out that
the plan of the city would build tube
with extensions ending nowhere. The
Board OF Estimate had no power In
itself to arrange for connections with
any other lines II built there was no
assurance that any passenger or freight
line would undertake to use It, The
Transit Commission had plan for a
passenger tunnel and the Port Authority
was taking care Of the need for freight
tunnel Each had ample power to pro-
vide tenant.
Justice Fawcett in Supreme Court In
Brooklyn yesterday reserved decision on
the application Of Leonard VI. Wall
stein counsel for William J. Scheffelin,
chairman OF the Citizens Union. for the
continuance of the temporary Injunction
preventing the Board Of Estimate from
taking any further steps in connection
with the tunnel.

HEARST SAYS HYLAN
CAN BE GOVERNOR
Publisher, Starting for Eu-
rope, Refuses to Talk Of
His Own Candidacy.

This message was left by William
Randolph Hearst yesterday as he de-
parted on the Aquitania for two
months vacation:
II think Mayor Hylan can be nomi-
mated Gas the Democratic candidate for
Governor and will be nominated. and !
refuse to discuss the candidacy of any
body else. including myself. until that is
definitely decided"
Pressed as to the drive being made by
William J. Conners to obtain the pub
lisher's nomination. Mr.. Hearst replied :
candidate. Mr. Conners says ;ircum-
stances compel me to be a candidate. l
differ with him.
From what THE NEW YORK HERALD
learned yesterday 1t is probable that the
attitude of John II. McCooey, the Kings
county Democratic leader. had much te
do with the decision of Mr.. Hearsts
friends that he could not be nominated
this year. and that it would be better to
take Mayor Hylan.
Mr.. McCooey has confided to those on
the inside that he did not believe the
publisher could be elected Governor this
year. He believes Mayor Hylan would
make a strong candidate.
According to report the plan as worked
out at Palm Beach last winter, when
Mr.. Corners. Mr. Hearst and Mayor
Hylan were in conference was that the
boom should be started with Hearst,
with the substitution of Hylan, If he
were found to be stronger.
Another angle of the Hearst Hylan
strategy Is said to be the 3 motion
OF an independent State ticket neaded
by +. ii. La Guardia, Republican,
men.
On the deck of the Aquitania Mr..
Hearst said:
II would like to see a progressive
Democrat named and a progressive Re-
publican. AS for the Republican, / have
said to Mr.. La Guardia / greatly admire
him. AS for the Democrat, it is Mayor
Hylan-I have no second choice"
When asked II he would head an in
dependent ticket IL Governor Miller
were renominated, La Guardia ex-
hibited recent telegram of congratu-
lations to Clifford Pinchot. in which he
said: I'VE are doing all we can to save
the party In this State"
When Mr.. Hearst was asked about
the report that Mrs. Hearst would be
presented at the Court of st. James s
the publisher replied: This is the first
I have heard of 1t. and / doubt that
the court has heard of it,
The publisher will be away for two
months unless called back sooner by
business. In addition to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hearst their party included their three
sons, George. William r.. Jr., and John;
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Barham of Los
Angeles and the Municipal Court Justice
and Mrs. William Young.
Arthur Brisbane. who was to have
been In the party, Cancelled his passage
because OF illness. He will join the
party later.

QUEENS RECEIVERS
UPHELD BY CROPSEY
Separate Fares Are Justified
Under NeW Operation.

Justice Cropsey in the Supreme Court,
Long Island City. yesterday sustained
the writ of habeas corpus and restored
to liberty Slaughter W. Huff and
Robert C. Lee, receivers for the old
Steinway trolley lines The decision
is a victory for the receivers over Dis
trict Attorney Dana Wallace and the
Transit Commission. which charged
misdemeanor in that the receivers had
put into operation the Steinway lines
without having complied with the terms
of section % OF the public service law.
Justice Cropsey held that the case
does not fall under the provisions OF
section 90. That section. he sad. =
mittedly does not apply to cases in
which no rates of fare have been filed.
The receivers do not seek to change
the rate of fare" he added. They
have authority only to operate the lines
covered by the mortgage. For them nc
rate was ever filed The operation OF
the lines by them is, in effect. a new
operation, new at least in the sense
that no such operation had been under
the provisions of the Public Service
Commission law"

States District Court yesterday by Judge
Mayer empowering Lindley NJ Garrison,
