PULITZER DENIES PLEA
FOR HELP OF MURPHY
Denounces Cohaian Charge in
Town Hall Speech.

Ralph Pulitzer Of the New York World
issued the following statement last night
in answer to assertions made by Surro-
gate John =. Cohalan in the latter's
speech in Town Hall:
THE Pulitzer estate has no knowledge
OF the matter TO which Surrogate John
p Cohalan referred I'm his campaign
speech at the Town Hall Tuesday night
II Mr.. Cohalan meant to imply that
Charles F. Murphy intervened in the
valuation Of the Pulitzer estate at the
request of the Pulitzer heirs or of the
World. or of any agent, his assertion is
destitute OF any semblance of truth. No
such request was ever made to Mr.. Muir
phy. nor is It conceivable, in view Of the
worlds record Of consistent opposition
TO him. that Mr.. Murphy would have
voluntarily undertaken TO influence
surrogate in the appraisal Of the Pulitzer
estate. To the best OF my Information

McAneny Intimates Cost Of
Plan at Double Figure Of
fered by Mayor.
CITY CANNOT FINANCE 1T
Executive Says He Hopes to
Hasten Downfall of 'Util-
ity Rings

George McAneny, chairman of the
Transit Commission. and Mayor Hylan
both made fresh contributions yester-
day to the controversy over new sub
way construction.
After reviewing the persistent atti-
tude of obstruction maintained by the
Board of Estimate toward every effort
of the Transit Commission to improve
the situation Mr.. McAneny cites some
eloquent figures. An analysis prepared
from careful engineering and account
ing estimates shows. he says. that to
realize the so-called transit plan cham
pioned by Mayor Hylan and his con-
freres. with its projected municipal
ownership and operation, would cost
considerably more than $1,000 ,o00, 900,
or approximately double the Mayors
talked of $500, 100000 program" The
costs falling within the first five years
alone would be in excess of 100000 900
"The city could not finance one
quarter of this sum" Mr.. McAneny
says, within the limited borrowing
power 1t now possesses or that it will
possess for five years ahead"
Mayor Hylan's statement said that the
main difference between his plan ard
the McAneny projects is that "the city
plan will hasten the day when the pri-
vate utility rings will not corrupt city
or State government and when they will,
not direct that the city or State be mis-
governed for their benefit

SCHENECTADY, Oct. 18.-Thomas A.
Edison knows quite little about cleo
tricity-they hailed him here as our
master'-but to-day, when he re-
visited the plant of the General Elec-
trio Company along the Mohawk River,
marvels We're revealed which made
him throw up his hands with comical
gesture ard exclaim, as so many have
exclaimed when Edison himself has
bobbed up with something new, What
next?"
Mr.. Edison came here as the honored
guest of the company 20 see the 523
acres of factories that have developed
from the beginning that he made In
1886. to note the progress of ex-
perimentation, particularly with the
vacuum tube, to swap ideas with
Charles p. Steinmetz, the great genius
of Schenectady. and others. And, as
Edison said. he also came to have a
reunion with the "old boys" who
worked at his side thirty and forty
years ago--the Edison pioneers.
He did all this and besides rode
down factory street lined with $4,000
&C. e." employees, who saluted him
with affectionate cheers that engulfed
the manful performance OF the pride
of the Mohawk. the General Electric
brass band.
On this very special occasion the
company barred some of it's most in
teresting secrets and let Mr.. Edison
gaze to his hearts content. He saw
demonstrations of apparatus which
the company soberly notes is merely
in the experimental stage and on the
future Of which it declines to specu-
late, but the revolutionary nature of
which is apparent even to the tyro.
1t must have pleased him to see what
great new engineering possibilities are
being visualized because of the perfect
ing of the vacuum tube, which he made
practical device when he invented the
incandescent light In 1879.

the fact that the costs that would fall

mot only are the Mayors plans i'm
possible because he predicates them
upon a promise Of municipal operation
that cannot be giveI for years and upon
the action of his successors in office.
They are impossible. too, from the finan-
cial point Of view. He has talked of a
10000. 900 program. In other words,
he means to recapture existing lines,
build and equip new ones for fifteen
years ahead and take care of a number
of other things for $500. 900 900. The
Transit Commission has had careful en-
gineering and accounting estimates pre-
pared showing exactly what Il would
cost to carry out the Mayors plan, with
the following results:
ITO buy out the interests of the Inter
borough and y. r. T. companies in those
parts of the existing lines that he pro-
noses should be taken would cost s164,-
500. 900.
"To pay for the exchange of the

pany for the Lexington avenue. or East

pany shall retain. would cost on the
