Carefully avoiding any reference to
Alfred E. Smith, Democratic nominee
for Governor, Mayor Hylan climbed
onto the Syracuse bandwagon, follow
ing the lead of William Randolph
Hearst, and declared Yesterday that he
would support the ticket. The Mayor
based his acquiescencel in defeat on the
platform planks satisfactory to him.
Thirty minutes after the Mayor made
his statement Commissioner of Ac-
counts David Hirshfeld, who was a
delegate 20 the Syracuse convention
and had to 'linger after the Mayor had
departed, to witness the burial cere-
monies of the Hearst boom, swung
into line and declared that he, too,
would support the nominees.
"The Democratic platform" said the
Mayor, Contains many distinctly pro-
gressive planks for which have
fought. The candidates are pledged
to carry out the provisions and planks
of that platform, and, therefore, will
support the ticket nominated on that
platform" =

Here are the main points, in
Governor Millcr's reply last night
to the complaints against his adj
ministration voiced in the Demo-
cratic platform.
"We stand upon our record. l
challenge any man to name a sin
gle unredeemed pledge, a single
linperformed promise"
"The actual cost of administer
ing the state government has
been reduced by eleven millions
of dollars
THE actual expenditures were
reduced nearly ten millions of
dollars"
1--WE have put the state on a
'payas-you-go' policy"
"There is no crowding in state
hospitals. On the contrary, for
the first time in ten years we are
actually installing beds faster
than the population is increasing"
"We have no appeal to make
to the special interests. These
special interests all look alike

would extend the jurisdiction of the

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 3.-Public
utilities, particularly trolley lines, were
the target for both Republicans and
Democrats at their conventions which
were held to-day in this city. Both
parties adopted platform planks which
bode i'll for the Public Service Corpora
tion If the successful candidates take
campaign pledges seriously.
1t is recommended in the Republican
platform that Federal legislation be
enacted to limit the authority of the
lower Federal courts so that the Public
Service Corporation no longer may try
out one line of defense when arraigned
before the Public Utility Commission
and then take the case to Federal
court and try out another.
Another plank in the Republican
platform was inserted to prevent pub

OF their extravagant appropriation, the
outgoing administration left ten mil
lions Of deficiencies for us to take care
Of. and notwithstanding the further
fact that the second year, w:.h two
consecutive decreases in the cost of
government, we took care of added re
quirements for education, as you SEN
ator Wadsworthl have stated. several
millions more for education, for public
health, for capital expenditures. per.
h1anent improvements, aggregating
more than an extra S12,00O,OOO in ey-
cess Of what had been appropriated un
der the preceding administration. The
reason it was possible to do that was
that my administration was preceded
by tie most wasteful, the most de-
mcralized administration in the his
tory of this state

full conduct. l am merely saying that
the state government was run by favor
instead Of for the e,purpose of perform
ing the public service"
Wadsworth Applauds Miller
Senator Wadsworth received an en-
thusiastic greeting when he stepped
forward to make the formal speech of
HStlHCdCIOn. ne SalQ IN part:
Governor Miller, for the second time
your party presents you as its candi-
date Tor the governorship Two years
ago you were selected because the
party knew Of your record as state
Comptroller, your career as a Judge of
the Supreme Court and of the great
Court of Appeals, your eminence in
the practice of your profession, your
knowledge of sound business princi-
pies, your human understanding and
your courage. To-day we feel that
same confidence and have added to it
feeling of pride such as great party
seldom enjoys"
After reviewing the strained and
somewhat chaotic conditions of the
public mind following the World War
and the disposition to spend money
too freely at the time Governor Miller
took Office, Senator Wadsworth con-
tinued:
"We challenge comparison with the
record of any other government dur
ing these troublous times"
Senator Calder said in his address
that as a boy he had attended night
school in Cooper Union to fit himself
Tor q business career, and the sight
Of the familiar surroundings aroused in
him deep personal feelings.

Senator; "the national Democratic

Robert Nee Marsh, who has been
nominated by the Republicans, and
VINO has an unassailable record
ihat Justice Marsh would be turned
down by Tammany was predicted
when Murphy and Samuel S. Koenig
entered into the deal to renounce Sur
rogate John p. Cohalan. It was also
reported to be the intention of the
bosses to turn down Justice Lehman.
but 1t was said last night that the
turning down Of Surrogate Cohaan
had raised such a storm Of resentment
that the bosses did not dare to 20
through with their plan to try to
shelve Lehman also.
In addition to Judge Freschi there
were several others considered by Muir
ply for the place given to Black,
but two Of them, who stood excellent
chances If they remained in the race,
Judge Godfrey Sake and Jeremiah T.
Mahoney, through their friends, an
nounced they would not accept the
nomination if offered to them.
