SMITH ATTACKS
BLINDNESS
Of HYLAN
Governor Says Mayor Is
"Subservient to
Super-Boss."
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-What
Governor Smith regards as Mayor
Hylan's "blind, obedient subservience
TO a super-boss," alleged secret con-
ferences with representatives of the
Ku Klux Khan at the 1924 Democrat
ic national convention and his lack
of ability as mayor are among the
governors reasons for opposing the
city's chief executive for third term.
Crossing the bridge into Brooklyn
last night, the governor, who had
given I'D his vacation to campaign for
State Senator Walker, Tammany de-
signee for mayor, addressed 5000 per-
sons while twice as many clamored for
admission.
Referring to the split in Democratic
ranks "as little family quarrel" the
governor said he was not going to be
too harsh. Then he took up the may
or's claim that the mayor had sup
ported Smith four times.
ATTACKS HYLAN.
"Did he support me for the nomina-
tion?" Governor Smith asked. "You
know he did not. You know he went
to Syracuse in 1922 avowedly and
from his own lips to do everything he
could to stop me from getting the NOM
nation. But the progressive intelli-
gent rank and file of the party in the
state chased him back to New York.
Nov, little over q year ago all
the Democrats of the state and in the
eastern part of this country stood day
in and day out during the long, hard
siege in Madison Square Garden
against the forces of religious and
racial bigotry. Not so much for Inc as
for what | represented in that fight.
Where was the mayor?
ain secret conferences with repre-
sentatives of the klan.
CHARGES DICTATION.
His complaints against me never
we're based on the question Of my abil-
ity. 1t was his blind, obedient sub
servience to n super-boss, who stood
over him and was the keeper of his
heart, the keeper of his conscience and
the director of his political will"
The governor enumerated various
problems confronting the city and de-
clared they could be solved by men of
!, greater ability than Mr.. Hylan.
Senator Walker, who spoke with
other, Tammany candidates, pointed to
his legitimate record towards safe
guarding the five-cent fare. He as
serted, as did Governor Smith, that the
five-cent fare issue was entirely q
smoke screen in the campaign.

resenting him in his famous role of
Rip Van Wrinkle, which is to be
placed In The Little Church Around
the Corner" he made famous, has
been completed in England and will
be shipped to this country soon, it
became known here.
What is believed to be the first
religious memorial window ever to
include secular subject de-
plcts Jefferson in the long white
beard and the ragged clothes OF. Rip
Van Wrinkle performing the act which
gave the Church of the Transf1gura-
tlon the name famous throughout the
continent.
When In 1870 his friend, George
Holland an actor, died, Jefferson went
to the Church of the Atonement, now
extinct, and asked its rector, DR..
William T. Sabine, to conduct the
funeral services. But the rector, re-
fusing when he learned of the dead
mans profession, referred Jefferson
10 "the little church around the cor
ner, where they may accommodate
YOU" Jefferson's reply-"God bless
that little church around the cor
ner"- is inscribed beneath panels of
the memorial window. Holland was
buried from the church. which be-
came the center of the religious life
OF the theatrical profession.
This old story is the theme of the
memorial window as conceived and
designed by Walter Wilson, an actor.
1t is divided into two main panels
and several vignettes. The left panel
depicts Christ at the Lich-gate of the
church looking with compassion upon
Joseph Jefferson, in the right panel.
wearing the costume OF his famous
role and leading the swathed figure
representing the spirit of George Hol-
Nland.
Rip Van Wrinkles amazing career is
depleted in the scenes surrounding
the center panels. Here are found
Rip and his greatest friend, the dog,
Wolf; Rip drinking deeply from the
nagon that sent him on his 20-year
sleep; Rip awakened at last, ragged
and amazed.
Below the center panels are shown
the strange little men whom Rip
found bowling at ninepins in the
katSkills. Beside them is Rips great
fagon. Some of the ninepins have
fallen. And SO has one of the little
men.
The Jefferson memorial window will
be the fourth in the Little Church
Around the Corner, the others being
to the memory of Montague, Edwin
Booth and Richard Mansfield. 1t is to
be unveiled on February 90, the ami
versary of Jefferson's birth. He was
born in 1929 and died in 1905.
