Merlin
CorrinSton Is
Hurt By Auto

An accident which might have
had serious results happend just
at the supper hour Saturday even
ing, when little Merlin Corrington
was caught and dragged by an
automobile and received severe
bruises and bumps.
Merlin and little Magnus East
house were playing in the road at
the corner in front of the Pres
byterian church, and each of the
little fellows had the end ola robe
tied around their waist and when
a car came along they would slac-
ken the rope and permit the autos
to pass over. The Ford car driven
by Raymond Shroll came along
and seeing the little fellows in the
road slackened speed and started
to pass over the rope. The front
wheels passed over the rope all
right, but the little fellows in
some way frightened ap and the
rope caught in the rear wheels of
the car, jerking the boys from
their feet and starting to drag
them. The rope broke releasing
the little Easthouse boy without
injury, but Merlin was jerked to

car at the corner threw him in

of SOC committeeman the insurgents
elected only thirty seven.
Asked what he thought Of the vic
tory, Mr.. Ward said:
"Out of SOC county committeeman
the insurgents elected only thirty
seven. That is the best answer to the
claim of our opponents that they were
going to clean out 'bossism' and Ward
as leader of Westchester County Re-
publcans."
Mr.. Ward said that as a result of the
primary battle the Westchester Repub
lican organization was stronger than it
has been in twenty years. The sur
prise of the primary fight was the vote
in Yonkers, where the revolt against
"Boss" Ward started. All the regular
candidates defeated their insurgent op-
ponents in that city. Miss Ruth Tay-
lor defeated Arthur L. Strang, the anti
organization candidate for judge Of the
Children's Court, and Arthur Rowland,
of Yonkers, defeated j. Henry Esser,
the insurgents choice for District At
torney, by $3.50 majority.
V. Evert Macy, the millionaire Com
missioner of Welfare. was renominated
over Niles Hopkins by $500 majority,
being the high man on the ticket. The
big surprise of the primary was the
poor showing made by Mrs. Mabel Nc
Kinlcy Baer, of Mount Vernon, niece of

tion candidata for Assembly in the 1st

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. -
Ancient mailing lists or back
date directories are being used by
politicians in sending campaign
literature through the mails to
prospective voters, judging from
the influx of this matter to the
Dead Letter Office here, the Post
Office Department disclosed to-
day.
Most of the political letters are
mailed in plain envelopes, without
a return address, and are directed
to persons who are no longer at
the addresses given. Nearly
eight thousand campaign docu-
ments have come from one city
alone. During June, July and
August, when the primary cam
paigns were on in many states,
the receipt of unbelievable let
ters showed an increase of almost
25 per cent over the same months
in 1921.

was Spellacy of the Senatorial berth
UP to to-night's keynote speech.
Either Spellacy or Cummings will be
named for United State Senator
against George p. Mclean, who was re-
nominated by the Republican conven-
tion last week. In the event of Loner-
gan's extinction as Senatorial op-
ponent Of Spellacy's he may possibly
figure as candidate for Congress from
the 1st Connecticut District, which he
has represented at two previous ses-
sions.
Ex-Mayor Thoms Of Waterbury said
tonight that he would not consider the
place of Lieutenant Governor at to-
morrow's nominating convention, and
it is believed the convention will not
seriously consider naming as cam
didate for Lieutenant Governor a resi-
dent of Waterbury to run against
Charles A. Templeton, OF Waterbury,
the Republican candidate for Governor.
Mr. Cummings's keynote speech was
an attack on Congress, chiefly for ITS
handling of the tariff.
Cummings's Speech
at was hoped we had taken the tariff
out of politics." said Mr.. Cummings
"The Tariff Commission has now been
ignored, the tariff has been dragged
back into the arena of politics and the
present bill represents foreclosure
Of the claim which was held by the
privileged classes upon the Republican
party.
"Republican newspapers, buainess
organizations largely dominated by
men of Republican preference, indi-
vidual Republicans Of high standing
and wide repute as manufacturers and
imnorters have combined to denopnce
the bill as a scheme for the wholesale
robbery of the American people. The
New York Tribune calls the Senate bill
q monstrosity.' The Boston Tran
script" characterizes it as "a disgrace
to the party in power and menace to
the nation, which was devised by "a
conspiracy between pork barrel poll
ticians and special interests for the
twofold purpose Of re-electing the
politicians and paying new tribute to
special interests The Chicago Trib-
une' and The Springfield Union both
Republican papers, admit the justice
Of these criticisms"

But William H. Fitzpatrick, the or
ganization leader, who has been one of
the leads for the Smith-for- Governor
movement, said;
"The defeat of the Hearst delegates
was so overwhelming that / could add
nothing to its effect by anything L
might say of Al Smiths candidacy"
Even Conners's Son Beaten
So overwhelming was the rout Of the
Hearst forces that William j. Conners
jr., son of the Hearst campaign man
ager and personally popular in Buffalo,
was defeated along with the other
thirty-four Hearst delegates.
1t was questioned by local Demo-
Gratis yesterday if Murphy would dare
cation to do Hearst's bidding, in view
OF the vote rolled up in the Tammany
primary yesterday against the Murphy
Koenig deal to remove Surrogate Coha-
Ian. Part of the deal included Muir
phys Endorsement of Samuel s.
Koenig's brother, Morris. AS a pro-
test Edward S. Brogan, practically un-
known and with little campaigning, re-
ceived, according to the returns, which
were counted by machine ward heelers,
1888 to 23,101 cast for Koenig.
The ballots cast for Brogan was an
insurgent vote, and according to Tam
many men the entire vote for him was
not counted Some Democratic leaders
frankly expressed the belief that
Brogan might have won and was
counted out.
10000 Write in Cohalan's Name
No count was made by the police, at
least up to late last night of the bal
lots cast for Cohalan in both primaries
Many Democrats and Republicans re-
ported to Cohalan headquarters that
they had written in Cohalan's name on
the ballots as protest. This was done
of their own volition, as there was no
concerted movement to have this done,
the Cohalan managers deliberately re-
framing from entering the machine
controlled primaries. Based on the
vote cast for Brogan, it was estimated
that close to 10000 voters wrote in
Cohalan's name in both primaries.
Friends of Surrogate Cohaan said
last night that the Brogan vote spelled
the undoing Of the Murphy -Koenig at
tempt to gain complete control of the
Surrogates' Court.
Throughout the state, as was indi-
Gated by early returns, organization
candidates of both parties were nom-
mated almost everywhere.
