easy TO see why IT will be difficult

HUNT SEES HOPE
FOR NEW PAVING
Marked Improvement on
Secondary Material Ex-
pected Here.

Hope was expressed today by &. r.
Hunt, engineer of highways. that
through the gasoline tax on automo-
hiles it will be possible within a few
years to make a mark ed improvement
In those street pavements that are of
q secondary type or that are unequal
10 the heavy traffic now passing over
them.
He made known this expectation in
answering a letter from Traffic Di-
rector Eldridge in which the latter
had suggested that the police notify
the engineer department of all bad
holes found in the street surfaces. Mr..
Hunt told Director Eldridge that the
police already make systematic and
almost daily reports of ruts in the
streets
Discussing the task of keeping the
streets free from holes, Mr.. Hunt
pointed out that $4,000 cuts are made
In the streets annually by plumbers
installing public service facilities, and
ne added that with such large mum
her there must always be many of
them unrepaired. After rain he
said. these holes make rough riding
until they can he leveled up or sur
faced.
Mr.. Hunt said the police reports
Of holes in the streets are turned over
fo the foreman of repair gangs on the
same day they are received and the
work is done as expeditiously as the
total amount of work the foreman has
on hand will permit
When he wrote to Mr.. Hunt DireC.
tor Eldridge had in mind reducing
the noise made by heavy trucks when
they strike ruts in the streets.

Betting Against Hylan.
The campaign marks the first big
fEht within the Democratic ranks
since the death of Charles F. Murphy
head of Tammany Hall for many
years. Mayor Hylan has quoted Muir
ply in deathhed praise of the HYlan
administration.
In supporting Walker. Gov. Smith
and Tammany have thrown overheard
man elected mayor twice with tre-
mendous ma jorities against the opposi-
tion of the leading newspapers of the
City. except Mr.. Hearst.
Wall Street betting odds are from
Sl2 to AZ to 1 against Hylan. Tam
many leaders predict Walkers victory
by 100 900 votes, assuming that so per
cent of the 794 $50 eligible Democratic
voters viii go to the polls.
John p. Cohalan. campaign man
ager, predicts a similar victory for the
mayor.
It is admitted on both sides that
the mayors strength is in his home

and Queens. Tammany is strong in
the other two boroughs. Manhattan
and the Bronx. John H. McCooey.

costs the city $4,000 a year in sal
ary alone
The casual onlooker in New York
naturally would assume that the fight
in this campaign has been between
Gov. Smith and Mayor Hylan and so
It has been, but the mayor is the one
who is standing for Office Al Smith
has asserted his prerogatives as actual
leader of The democracy in the State
and has decreed that Mayor Hylan
must go. AS most of the State de
mocracy is situated within the con.
fines of Greater New York and as
Al Smith is product of the side
walks of this city. he feels he has a
right to butt in and put an end to
the political machine the mayor has
been building for his own purposes
these last eight years.
Gov. Smith and his friends in Tam
many Hall have looked askance at the
Hylan pretensions and have feared an
other four years for him at the helm
of the city government. They have
not liked the mayors alliance with
William Randolph Hearst and have
announced that this time they are
going to put both Hylan and Hearst
lin the ash can for keeps The
mayors actual opponent in the ballot
ing is State Senator James J. Walker.
The Hylan supporters call him little
Jimmie Walker" and say he is a
broadway butterfly"
This is because Jimmie" wears
rather smartly cut clothes, in the New
York manner, or rather in the Rialto
manner, for he likes the profession"
and once was a song writer himself
in Tin Pan alley.
Fraud Already Charged.
All sorts of supposed issues have
been brought forth in the campaign.
but il has resolved itself. as every one
saw from the first into fight be
tween the governor. backed by Tam
many and the mayor. backed by the
remnants of the Hearst influence in
New York city politics.
Tammany's claims of a walkover in
the ballotinC tomorrow would seem to
he borne out by the loud cries of
fraud which already are emanating
from the Hylan camp. II is claimed
Tammany is preparing 10 steal the
election. But the mayor has All the
city police and machinery under his
thumb and the Tammanyites say if
an election can be stolen" in such
circumstances il is sad reflection on
the force" and on the city admins
tration.

a Governor now and then in recent
years. II got behind Senator Lenroot
in 1920. and put him into the Senate
despite the opposition Of Senator La
Toilette, who supported another can
didate. Senator La Follette's own
personal strength was so great how
ever. that in a quarter of century
he had never been defeated. Senator
La Follette's strength did not depend
in Wisconsin upon hard times and
dissruntlement of the farmers and
laborers. He carried the State in
good times and times which were not
so good. Wisconsin has never been in
such distress as some Of the other
Western States, however. The claim,
therefore. that times are better under
the present national administration
has little to do with the result in Wis
consin tomorrow.
Twenty-six years ago. under the
leadership of Senator La Toilette. the
old-fa shioned party boss and his po-
litical machine were put out of bust
ness in Wisconsin. Railroads were
forbidden to give free passes, which
had been used to curry favor. Civil
service laws and anti-lobby laws
followed together with corrupt
practices act. The railroads were
compelled to pay State taxes accord
ing to the value of their property
which they had not been doing, and
they were prevented from passing
this taxation on to the people through
laws for the regulation of the rail
roads and their rates and the pre-
Sention of rebates
All Public Works Regulated.

extended 10 all public utilities In the
