Otto 3. Shuloff, chairman Of the
Mayors committee on rent prohteerng,
issued statement yesterday in which
he urged the extension Of the emer-
gencv rent laws for two more years.
IF this beneficent legislation is not
extended after November !, 1922 he
says, "chaotic conditions will follow. 3"
In spite of the general impression
that the occasion for these special laws
ha passed, Mr.. Shulof said, the tact
is the Mayors committee is still func-
tloning and is hearing and arbitra ting
hundreds Of cases
"Whie there has been considerable
building in the last year Of small one.

very few houses have been built IN

number Of families that are only able
TO pay smaller rentals. Unless these
tenants in tho crowded centers receive
the further protection Of the present
rent laws the situation will become
more acute than it was three years
ago Wages are gradually falling, but
rents are not coming down and the
laboring man will be unable to pay the
present rentals, much less increased
rents
The committee also suggests to the
Legislature that, while extending these
emergency laws, it indicates clearly
the legislative intent in order to avoid

The junket cost more than $4,000. In
Tammany Hall this is interpreted as a
bid for the Democratic nomination for

while former Governor Smith does not
care to run for Governor again he is
willing to make the race for United

will enable him to run for Senator

upstate Democrats, under the leader
ship Of Herbert c. PelI. state chair
man, and William Church Osborn, are
for Smith for Senator and if Mr.. Smith
does not want to run they arc for Os-
born or Mayor Lunn Of Schenectady
They arc not for Hearst, as they fear

Editor and Former Governor
Both in Running for

William r. Hearst, by compelling the
Hylan administration and the greater
part Of Tsmmay Hall to oppose former
Governor Alfred f. Smiths Fort Au
thority bill, bids fair to split Tammany
Hall and bring about q reorganization.
The Hearst men in tho Tammany or.
ganization, knowing that they have Hy.
Ian with them, have maneuvered Murphy
into opposing Smiths bill at Albany
The pressure from the Hearst.Hylan
control * shown by the fact that Muir
ray Hubert, President Of the Board Of
Aldermen. finds himself opposing the
Port Authority bill. supported by cx-
Governor Smith, which he favored =
year ago. Tammany bureau heads
think more of patronage con- rolled by
Hearst and Hylan than the DO Of the
onetime idol. Smith.
Murphy FIees From Strife
The patronage hunters in the Tam
many organization made it so uncom.
days ago that he packed up in hurry
and went to Hot Springs, there to make
up his mind as to whether he will let
Hearst and Hylan have their way
over organization patronage or oppose
them. Senator James J. Walkers stand
against the Port Authority bill is proof
among Tammany men that Tammany
has abandoned Smith, temporarily, at
least.
The big thing, however, is not the
Port Authority bill or the Hylan
patronage, but the Democratic nomina-
tion for United States Senator next
fall, and it is this that may split the
Democratic organization through out
the state. Mr.. Hearst few weeks ago
organized a junket for Congressman.
