BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September 12.-Brook-
lyn Democrats, holding a strategic
Importance in the municipal primary
campaign, are weighing arguments TO
them of Gov Smith and Mayor Hylan
about each other.
The governor invaded the mayors s
home borough last night for one of
the biggest speeches Of his campaign
for the Tammany mayoralty candi-
d"'e State Senator Walker. The
mayor spoke in another hall in the
~. ugh Iut himself.
Introduced by the chairman and
hailed by the audience as the next
President of the United States, Gov.
Smith attacked Mayor Hylan as in
competent and read him out of the
Democratic party.
His heart is all right" the gov
ernor said. The trouble is with his
head The governor referred often
to w. r. Hearst. He said that New
York has heard an "overabundance
of canned speeches of John Il. Hylan
that are all prepared for him in the
office of the New York American"
Says Boss Is in California
Everybody knows" the governor
said. that he can not make any de-
cision until he hears from California.
That is where the big boss is
The mayor. he said, opposes the pro
posed $500 900. 900 bond issue for ellmi-
nation of railroad grade crossings in
the State, but doesn't know what 1t
is all about"
The governor quoted the late
Theodore Roosevelt as saying The
only bench that Hylan was fit to
sit on was one in the park" Hylan
was a county judge before being
elected mayor.
He quoted the mayor as having
said in speech that both Republican
and Democratic parties were rotten"
and lets have a party of our own"
The governor appealed for votes
for Walker next Tuesday. so that
Brooklyn would not be the con-
quered province of an editor in Cali
fornia, who says himself he is not
a Democrat"
Mayor Hylan again attacked the
governor for being influenced by the
"Armours, Vanderbilts and the big
corporations and accused his Tam
many opponents of conspiracy to
wreck the Democratic party. He
asked why Smith refused to admit
he was living rent free at the Bilt-
more.
What a pitiable spectaclew the
mayor exclaimed THE Governor of
the State of New York actually tell
ing a cock-and-bun story in order TO
evade admitting that he was accept
ing a gift from a Vanderbilt rail
road.
You will recall that the governor
said his diet at the Biltmore con-
sisted of ham and eggs, corned beef
hash and oatmeal. But the State
paid food bills running as high as
500 a day"
The mayor said he had exposed
the governors connection with
trucking combine" that boosted the
price of hauling coal.
The governor used to have kind
word for me-" he said, but not
since he has been a guest of the
Rockefellers, rubbed elbows with the
Vanderbilts, fraterniZed with the
Satterlees and Harrimans of the
Morris plan"
Frank D. Waterman, Republican
organization candidate, said in sew
eral addresses that the ''mud-sling-
ing" campaign of Democratic can
didates had won women over to him.

MARTIN DROPS RING
TITLE TO ROSENBERG
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK. March 21.-Eddie Can
nonbali Martin has lost his title as
bantamweight champion, but in the
manner of losing IL he proved himself
to be champion of champions
The idea of his risking his crown
so soon after ascending the throne
has thrown a scare into the rest of
the champions, who are afraid that
Martins bravery will set popular
fashion which they cannot ignore.
The usual course of a champion to
preserve his title Is no-decision bouts
against set-ups until an order from
the boxing commission forces him to
put 1t in jeopardy. Martin picked the
hardest opponent he could find in
Rosenberg. He knew him well. The
two have engaged in four hectic
bouts and both have always held the
highest respect for each other
AS a matter of fact, both the former
champion and the present champion
for some time have been coming in
around 120 in all their scraps, and 1t
certainly looked as though Rosenberg
especially had drawn himself pretty
fine in making the weight of his
class. Martin was down to wire
edge, too.
But the way the two boys stepped
through the 10 rounds gave no indi-
cation that the hard training they
had done had sapped their vitality or
affected their strength Rosenberg 8
victory was SO clean cut that toward
the end of the bout 1t was apparent
that In order to retain his title Mar
tin would have to knock his op-
penent out.
This he tried TO do, and the influ-
ence of Tommy Murphy's instruction
In how to improve his hitting showed
very plainly. Perhaps with a few
more pounds on him the. snap which
he is now getting into his wallops
Will be real sleep producer.
The fight was sensational all the
way through, and the big crowd
roared and cheered as they followed
tne course of what may be the last
title bout held In the old garden.
