BUCHLER HITS BACK
In HIRSHFIELD SUIT
Cites Recent Hearing to
Show Bias of the Com
missioner.
O'MALLEY WHITEWASHED
Intended to Use Ex-Deputy's
Testimony to Exonerate
Head Of Markets.
LIE O'MALLEY WHITEWASHEI

DIR. Samuel Buchler. former Deputy
Commissioner of Public Markets. re-
turned a broadside against Commits
sioner Of Accounts David Hirshf1eld
yesterday In papers submitted to JUS
tice James O'Malley in the Supreme
Court opposing the order to show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt. The Commissioner of Ac-
counts obtained the order from Justice
Lydon Saturday as result of DR..
Buchler's refusal to testify at hear
ing last week in connection with the
affairs of the Department of Public
Markets.
DR.. Buchler charged that Hirshfield's s
conduct on that occasion made him "ab-
solutely unfit" to hold a fair hearing.
In an affidavit submitted to Justice
O'Malley following a brief oral summary
opposing the motion, he referred to this
conduct specifically as "ungentlemanly
unfair. biased and prejudiced" He said
he was firmly convinced that whatever
Information he would have given would
not have been used by HIrshfield in a
proper manner and with the intention
Of suggesting reasonable reforms in the
Department Of Public Markets, but
would have been used to whitewash Mr..
O'Malley. the head of the said depart
ment. and to exonerate him for the
tactics displayed In the said depart
ment"
Hirshfield's Inquiry.
The Hirshfield Inquiry was to probe
the allegations Of graft in the collection
OF fees from pushcart pedlers in open
air markets. DIR. Buehler asked for
permission to present prepared state
ment before his examination. When he
was informed he would have to be sworn
and testify In answer to questions he re-
fused. In his affidavit he refers to the
recent hearing Of market conditions be-
fore Justice Cropsey in Brooklyn, after
which Hirshfield issued statements
charging all those who were connected
with the said investigation and all those
who dared to criticize the markets were
all disappointed landlords, food profit
association presidents who do not take
kindly to their revenues being cut off,"
These accusations he sold made the
commissioner appear "highly prejudiced
and biased against all those who
dared criticize the Department of Mar
kets" or anyone connected with it.
He also cited Hirshfield's brother,
Joseph, who. he said. was at the time
of the hearing and still is supervisor
of tho Department of Markets. appoint
cd through the direct efforts and in
.luence OF Commissioner Hirshfield.' .
lie alleged that this was further evil
dsnce of the Commissioners disqualifi-
cation and particularly to investigate
the Markets Department.
He asked that the motion to punish
him for contempt be denied with costs
which Hirschfield should be directed to
pay "out Of his personal funds"
An Assistant Corporation Counsel,
who appeared In behalf OF Commissioners
Hirshfield. argued that he was within
his rights In conducting the inquiry and
that he was legally empowered to COM
pei the former deputy to testify.
Justice O'Malley reserved decision and
directed that briefs be submitted to him
to-day.
