last night at the dinner rendered b,
members Of the National Republican
Club to Charles D. Hilles. former pres.
loent OF the club and Republican Ma
tlonal Committeeman from New York
sounded call to arms of the Republi-
can state hosts for the coming cleo.
tions in November. The Governor spoke
confidently Of Republican victory
without saying whether he or some one
else would lead the fight. He declared
his belief that the people of this city
were beginning to realize the differ
ence between talk and accomplishment
as between the city and state govern
ments, and would be expected to turn
away from large local Democratic ma
jorities. such as Mayor Hylan received
at the last municipal election.
He predicated this belief chiefly on
the results that would be shown as the
Transit Commission's plan continued to
unfold and the people realized more
and more its real benefits. ain a
sketchy way as the Governor said. he
outlined the record of accomplishments
at Albany during the last two years
on which the people would go to the
polls this fall.
Sees City Hall Awakening

city, said Governor Miller. "They
have been unpopular in certain quar-
ters, and, judging by the last city
election, they affected the whole mass
of the electorate. But ! believe the
people of New York City are beginning
to realize the difference between talk
and accomplishment, and there are
some things that even those at the
City Hall are beginning to understand
There are indications from that di-
rection of a new interest and some
spirit of cooperation, not any large
cooperative demonstration as we
might wish, but the signs are bet

Of this city need more than anything
else is arr intelligent read justment and
development of the transit facilities
the facilities of this great port. These
they are going to get and the people
of the city are beginning to see that
we are working for their interests in
these great projects, as we'll as for the
interests of the whole state. I think
you can go to the polls this fall with
confidence"
