GIVES UP LEASE m I 1$ \Who Does Frank Rfcpre-sent?- \ Asks Mayor Hylan, Commenting on Letter. TAMMANY REJOICES. Maybe a Deal With Hearst tfor Senator, Is One Suggestion. \Who docs Frank Roosevelt rcpre-ftent- ?\ This was Mayor Hylan's rejoinder to a question usked him by an Eve- ning World reporter, upon his arrival at tho City Hall this morning. \Mr. Mayor, havo you read former Ijov. Smith's letter to Franklin Hoose-velt?- \ tlio reporter Inquired. \Yes I read Al's letter, but I can't figure out who Frank noosevclt rep- resents,\ tho Mayor replied. \Would you caro to glvo some ex pression of your political vlows as to your cholco between Smith and Hearst?\ the reporter Inquired. The Mayor's answer was a broad smile as he backed thtougli tho doorway of his ofllce. Democrats In and out of Tammany, Democrats In and out of \the organi- zation,\ did not ask to-d- who Franklin D. Koosevelt Is, but ex- pressed much gratification over tho stand taken by former Gov. Smith In his letter, which was r reply to Mr. Roosevelt's communication of Aug. 13, In which he asked \Al\ to make ltnown his views on accepting or re- jecting the nomination for Governor at tho coming Democratic convention. Mr. Smith's affirmative unswer, given out at Tammany Hall Inst night, has lifted a dark cloud of ap- prehension from the political horizon nnd has cleared tho atmosphere In Democratic circles throughout the tntlro State. Tho suspense In which Democrats found themselves over tho attempt mado to foist upon tho party a can- didate not to their liking is now re- lieved, and although Charles F. Mur- phy has given his tlmo honored stock reply, \Tho convention will decide,\ It was nono tho less apparent In his Rmllo that the Tammany leader Is as equally rclloved by Al Smith's letter as arc tho rank nnd tile of the party. In his letter to Mr. Roosevelt, for- mer Gov. Smith stated: Dear Frank: I have your let- ter of Aug. 13 and I have caie-full- y read It. I appreciate your kindly sentiments and they com- pel mo to talk to you from my heart. I would not ho entirely frank with you if I did not admit that evidonco lias been presented to me which would Indicate a do-sl- ro on tho part of tho Democratic rank and nlo that I again take the post of leadership. It has been and is ftlll my do-el- to remain In business lifo for the reason you state In your let- ter for my family's sake but, during tho past twenty years I have been so honored by my party that even members of my family would be dissatisfied If I did not answer the call. Therefore, considering tho facts as I know them and answering your letter, I feel myself that I would bo ungrateful If I wero to say that I would bo unwilling to assumo tho leadership. Thr Stato Convention will bo composed of elected representa- tives of tho rank and lllo of tho Democratic Party throughout tho State. They will undoubtedly come to the convention nlivo to tho sentiment In their respective districts. If a majority of them desire me to accept tho nomina- tion for Governor nnd lead tho party in this Stato to what seems to mo to bo a certain victory, I am entirely willing to accept this honor from their hands and bat- tle for them with all tho energy and vigor that I possess. With kind regards to your mother and Mrs. Roosevelt and all the children, I am sincerely vour, AL. It Is known thero were a number of motives which prompted Mr. Smith to act. When ho spoke of his de- sire to remain In private life, that he. might build up a competence which has been neglected In many \years of political service, ho meant oxartlv what ho said. But It Is known that ho has long hnd tho detri mtnatlon that If a sacrifice wero ncessary to block tho nomination of William Randolph Hearst ho was ready to make It. Ho has been besieged recently on Mrs . ARTHUR. L. UVE.R.MORE Aug. 16. Following the resignation Mondny of John II. KIrby, President of tho Southern Tariff Association, ns a member of tho Ameri- can Commission to tho Brazilian Cen- tennial Imposition, It Is reported here that .Mrs. A. L. Ltvermoro of Yonkurs, N. Y., who belongs to tho same body, will also resign. It was made plain at the White House that no successor to Mr. Kirliy would Oo, named, as tho woik of the coramlbslon' Is virtually over. all sides by demands emanating both from New York City nnd up-Sta- te Democrats who wero worried at tho apparent progress that the Hearst forces were making, to announco his willingness to accept tho nomination. And last night as soon as his decision becamo known ho was flooded with telephone messages and telegrams congratulating him. In tho absence nf William J. Ten- ners, campaign manager for William Randolph Hearst, no expression could bo obtained at Hearst headquarters, In tho Hotel McAlpIn, y on tho letter written yesterday by former Governor Al Smith to Franklin D. Roosevelt declaring that ho would ac- cept the nomination for Governor If tho Democratic Party demanded It. No one at Hoatst's- headquarters would lo quoted on tho effect tho letter Is expected to havo on the pub-Ushe- plans. But lieutenants who wore present let It be known that tho sentiments expressed in the. former Governor's letter would mako male-ria- l dlfferenco In the Hearst cam- paign. Tho Intimation was mado, and very strongly, that the campaign would be carried to a llnlsh. There Is gossip going the rounds tha an attempt would bo made to placate Hearst by naming him on the Democratic ticket for United States Senator, but tills met thn declaration that under no circumstances would Smith agree to Hearbt's nomination on a ticket led by him. Robert Adamson, former Fire Com- missioner, nnd known as nn Inde- pendent Democrat, said: \I was glad to lead Al's letter and I think all Democrats of the Stato feci the sams way abuut it.\ Geoigo Gordon Rattle, vho has in- dependent tendencies, said: \I was delighted to tend the letter this morn- ing and to know that Al Is willing to respond to the call of his party. Ho has rendered great service to the Statu and party In the past and neither ran afford to spare him in tho rutin e.\ Democratic lenders In Brooklyn ex- pressed great pleasure over tho let- ter. It was believed that Hearst would support the ticket and rumors of a thud ticket were scouted. The news came to Tammany Hall while Charles F. Murphy was In ses- sion with his leaders, trying to work out ,a Congressional slate. Probably tho reeling that was in tho mlnda of every leader present was summed up bj Congressman Daniel J. Itiordan of Smith's own district, who said: \This means that thero will bo but one candiduto presented to tho con- vention. That man will bo Gov. Smith.\ Mr. Murphy, when questioned on tho subject of his choice, repeated what he had said previously, that he would not mako up his mind until he reached the convention. There Is rea- son for such an attitude. For If the Stnith announcement should focus thu sentiment of the ytnto so as to upset opposition, tho Tammany chief might, If Smith consented, then consider some candidate other than Smith and other than a Hearst-name- d man. It was agreed privately by the Tammany men present that in the of an unlooked for turn of affairs tho announcement means at the most that there will be but two candidates presented to tho convention Smith and whatever man the Hearst-H- lan forces chooso to name in opposition. PANTOMIME -- Bi WASHINGTON, 2 - \ma?. City Notified Pan-Americ- an Co. Will Not Keep Staple-to- n Dockage. CONSTRUCTION DELAY. Enormous Rental Entailed by Increase in Cost From Five to Nine Millions. Declaring that delay by the city In tho completion of Piers No. 12 and 13, at Tompklnsvllle, S. I., has Increased tho cost of construction from about $5,000,000 to about J9, 000,000 nnd that tho rentals havo been neatly doubled because of this Increase, tho Dock and Terminal Corpo ration of No. 17 Battery Place has notified Dock Commissioner Dclaney that It will not fulfill the terms of Its leaso with the city for the piers. In a letter to thn Dock Commis- sioner, ofllcers of tho company de- clared that at tho tlmo they signed tho lease they did not assumo that tho cost of property and Pier con- struction and equipment would be as great as it now Is proving to he. The company cannot seo Its way clear to carry the enormous rental burdon placed upon It, tho rental being gov- erned by the cost of tho property. It was also charged In tho letter that tho completion of tho piers had been unduly delayed. Tha Dock and Ter- minal Corporation was hellovod at the tlmo the lenso was signed to bo the locnl representatives of Hugo Stlnnes, German capitalist and steamship owner. Whether the giving up of tho lease affects Stlnnes's plan for a largo terminal In the port of New York could not bo learned Hans head of tho Isbrundtsen-Mollo- r Company, declined to mako n statement on this. Mr. Isbrandtsen charged that mo3t of the delay In tho complotlon of the piers was occasioned by tho lack of In construction. He added that instead of all tho wotk being let at once it hud dragged along, so that some of It should havo been completed long ago and some that could havo remained to tho last has olready been finished. Meanwhile, In- terest to tho amount of Jl, 000,000 has mounted up. Tho plois were to have been In readipes3 for occupancy rour or five months ago, according to Mr. Is- brandtsen, but will not bo completed tor about a year. He estimated that the cost will bo nearly $9,000,000 In- stead of $5,000,000, as originally esti- mated. Knglneers connected with the Company with those of tho city in tho development of plans for tho jiiors, according to Mr. Isbrandtsen, who claims that as originally mapped out they wero to bo tho first piers In this country using electrical cranes on a large scalo for loading and discharging of ships. Commissioner Delaney said that the city is protected by a bond filed by the cofpotatlon at the tlmo of mak- ing the lease. Under all tho leases, tho rentals for tho plerj will be seven and a half per cent, of the cost of construction, ttie amount paid for real cstato and tho equipment. Mr. Isbrandtsen would not be quoted on tho disposition of this bond. Ho said, however, that ho felt no ap- prehension on tho outcome of dis- cussions with the city on tho matter. Some of the piers already nro In use. Tho Union Transport Co. of No. 42 Broadway has taken posses- sion of Piers No. 15 nnd 16, nnd is operating them on a temporary basis. The only other leaso abandoned by the lessee Is that of the Green Star Steamship Corporation now In bank- ruptcy. The other lessees arc: Pier No. 7, used ns u public pier on wharfage; Pier No. 8, Wessel, Duval & Co,; Pier No. 9, Moore & McCormnck Co.; Pier No. 10, Kdward M. Raphel & Co., absorbed by the Clyde Line; Pier No. 11, International Mercantile Ma- rine Co.; Pier No. 14, an old pier; Pier No. 17, Nippon Yusen kl Kaisha; Pier No. 18, Cora-pngn- lo Oeneinlo Transatlantlque. All of tho rentals wero mado tor ten-ye- periods with tho privilege of two renewals of ten years ench. Commissioner DUanry blames labor conditions, among other things, for tho delay In completion of the plors. Ho said the city will be unable mako tender of the piers until Febru- ary. The structures aio completed, tho water nt pierheads and in tho docks had been dredged to a depth of thirty feet, and tho upland fill has been completed. Thero lem.ilns tin- paving of tho tlfty-fo- roadway, the laying of rail- way sidings and the binding equip- ment, which Is to bn placed nt certain pier bheds.
