has HUGHES STIRS BIG NEWBURGER RALLY Former Governor 'Shows Evil of Tammany's Move to Con- trol Judgeships. WIOKEBSHAM ALSO TALKS Untcnnyer Big Campaign Fund Scored nt Carnegio Hall Meeting. i Charles Evnns Hughw was thunder- ously applauded last night as ha urged the election\ of Supreme Court Justice Joseph E. Newburger and City Court Judge ntchard II. Sftilth and vigorously attacked the candidacy of Irwin Unter-myc- r, Tammany's youthful selection. When Mr. Hughes walked onto the platform of Carnegie Hall In company with Balnbrldge Colby, George W. Wlck-ersha- Martin W. Llttloton and Francis M. Scott he was received with enthusiasm. When Mr. Colby Introduced him as a man who had been \drafted' by one of the greatest political parties to lead Its light for the Presidency\ 'the two thou- sand persons who attended tho meeting arose and applauded long and vigorously. When he told them that the bench shoupld not beturned Into a law school for the education of young lawyers; that It was necessary for the people of Stw Tork to deliver a new declaration of Indepen- dence ; that an Inexperienced and Imma- ture Judge was the most expensive lux-Si- ry that tho community could be taxed with and that men possessing the fear- lessness, the judicial qualities, the Indus- try and fidelity of Justice Newburger and Judge Smith should be kept on the bench he was continually Interrupted by spontaneous demonstrations of approval. The audience that attended this meet- ing, which was the first of a Beries to be hold under the auspices of the Indepen- dent Judiciary Committee, was made up tor the most part of the Independent voting class. .It had none of the atmosphere of the average ortho- dox political meeting that Is packed with persons overrunning with partisan spirit. Colby SInps nt Untermyer. Mr. Colby, who presided, made a deep impression when he pictured Justice Newburger and his youthful opponent, and when he said that to Judge from Mr. Untermyer's case the first step In rislns to the bench was apparently the Election of a rich father, \one with twenty millions preferably.\ He referred to the whispered confer- ences with the boss which bring such a - nomlratlon about; to tho subservient manner In which the party accepts It. even though It had not been aware of young Mr. Untermyer's existence previ- ously and then the lavish manner In which the wealthy father finances the son's campaign. \There Is hardly a lit- tle brave In this city ,but wears a gold scarfpln which has been presnt'kl to him by Candidate Untermyer,\ he said. \Thirty thousand dollars for lithographs, three sheet posters and throwaways Is a very small estimate. A $10,000 lunch- eon at thrf Hotel Astor Is supposed to have cinched the vote of the women. This Is the modern process, and It Is oackod by Sam Untermyer and Tam- many Hall to win against proved merit.\ Former Justice Scott said of Justice Newbilrger's opponent: \I accept all that Is said of him by his friends ; that he Is a man of unimpeachable Integrity, studious In his habits, and that he has shown so far as his experience would permit him that he Is capable as a law- yer to the extent of drawing or assisting In the drawing of some important briefs. I am glad to say, for tho honor of my profession, that there are many young men in this city of my personal knowl- edge of Just about the same ago of whom every word of that panegyric can bo equally well said, and yet I have never heard except now that those qualities were the qualities which entitled a man to aspire to the important and serious offlci) of a Justice of the Supreme Court.\ Unghra Ntlrn Audience. It was the address of Mr. Hughes, however, that stirred the audience to the highest pitch; that set the case of the two candidates forth In the boldest style. \Periodically said the former Gov- ernor and former occupant of the high- est Judicial position In the land, \it Is necessary for this town to deliver a new declaration of Independence. It Is a part of the Joy of living In this com- munity to know that It Is capable of that assertion. \The first duty and in this campaign Is to pay deserved tribute to men who have faithfully served this community. In paying that tribute In the most natural and effective way the community serves Itself. 'The most servant of the community Is the Inexperienced and Immature Judge. \We constantly hear debate on the causes of delaying litigation. The greatest cause of delay and dissatisfac- tion In the administration of Justlco Is Inexpertness in Judges themselves. A Judge who understands his work Is ready and prompt with his decision. His decisions nre generally respected and Jus- tice Is honest In a democracy which en- thrones justice. \We don't want the bench turned Into a law school to educate promising young lawyers. The Supreme Court of the State of New York Is the highest court of original jurisdiction. We want no experiments in that court. We have alto- gether too many of them as It Is. \I know of nothing more lamentable than the setting of tho people of a demo- cratic community in opposition to the courts of that community, the essential agents of a democracy which theBo de- tractive critics nre themselves en- deavoring to destroy, while they use democracy's sacred name to cover their efforts. \Any man that teaches his fellow men to berate the courts and to be con- temptuous of the courts Is a traitor to the republic \Judges arothe Indispensable agents of the republic. They ought to be regarded as tho most Important ofllclals In the republic.\ HEARST SILENT ON CHALLENGE Governor Rom to Albany Without Iteply to Ilpqumt for Debate. Oov. Smith returned to Albany yes-tfrd- without an answer from William Randolph Hearst to his challenge to de- bate his public and private life. Be- fore leaving the Oovemor said he would hold himself in readiness and subject to the call of his friends should Mr,' Hearst pick up the gauntlet the Governor threw down last Saturday. The Governor's challenge came while he wan smarting under continued bit- ter attacks by tho Hearst newspapers, which were rhlefly to the effect that the Governor was responsible for the high price of milk. The Governor's only Klpulatlon was that Mr. Hearst might ak him any questions concerning his private or public life If the same prlv mec,',\ r?,a t,,c \overnor In ..

RAKES RULE OF CITY BY HYLAN Police, Health and Other De- partments Censured. Disadvantageous comparison of Mayor Hylan's administration with thoso of former Mayors Low, McClellan, Gaynor and Mltchel and particularly severe criti- cism of the conduct of certain city de- partments wero set forth In the report of the city committee of the republican Club, which was presented at the regular monthly meeting last night by Court-lan- dt Ncoll, chairman of the committee. The Police Department under Commis- sioner Enrlght came in for the most se- vere castlgatlon, but the Health, Street Cleaning and other departments as wen as the Mayor's own administration came in ror censure. In directing attention to the record of the Tammany controlled Board of Esn mate, the report said In part: \Projects that cannot bear tho light of day are passed by unanimous consent without examination and without public knowledge of their purpose or effect. This condition Is fraught with danger to the city and cannot be permitted to con tlnue without lasting harm to Its inter ests.\ Of the Mayor's own activities, the re port Bays: \In the first place he and his associ- ates hare shown total Inability to cope wun any municipal problem. No move has been mnde for the settlement of such pressing questions as tho Riverside Drive Improvements, Jamaica Bay or the In crease of the port facilities. In tho meantime and despite enormous natural advantages Now York harbor commerce Is being diverted to other ports. \Under his administration the morale of the Police Department has vanlehed. Political pull has replaced efficient ser vice to the publlo as a means of advance' ment. The efficient officers of long ser vice, such as Inspector Costlgan. have oeen eliminated or assigned to posts of little importance. Men dismissed for ample cause and refused reinstatement by previous administrations are being taken back on tho force In largo num bers. . . . It is no wonder that un der these 'conditions felonies havo in creased, and that burglaries, holdups end roDberies on the publlo streets are of dally occurrence, that gambling clubs are run- ning openly under the patronage of Tam many leaders and that resorts owned by aro brazenly violating the law. LA GUARDIA ATTACKS GARBAGE CONTRACTS Says Tammany Men Will Get $3JOO,000 for Little Work. Tammany contractors will get $3,300.-00- 0 of the city's money tho coming year for tossing garbage to tho wild waves, so Congressman F. H. La Guardla, Re- publican candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen, declared last night in nis attack on the prodigality of the Hylan administration. Ho spoke at 30 East Thirty-fir- st street \All that money goes to a ring of contractors who are friends of Tammany Hall,\ he declared. -- The favored half dozen merely dump the garbage Into the ocean. The waves wash half of It back again, and then the fortunate few get more pay for dumping It once more Into the sea.\ He pointed out that Chicago derives a revenue by reclamation. Representative La Quardla also as sailed the Department, of Markets for falling to \produce anything but paper, enough to fill a library!\ Among the thousands of items in the Hylan budget .Mr. La uunrdla said thero were so many items of extravagance that nobody would have time to single them all out. \As a matter of business prudence.\ J he said, ''It seems to me we should have at least one member of the Board of Estimate who Isn t a Tammany man.\ STREET CLEANERS' PAY RAISE ASSURED I A 1J A ...J. D i Provide forfWages. The Board of Aldermen authorized the issue of (410,000 worth of special reve nue Donas to provide for Increased pay of the street cleaners of Manhattan, urooKiyn and The Bronx from October 1 to January 1, after which date tho new budget will become operative. Alderman Kenneally, who Introduced the resolution, said the increaso per man from J1.300 to J1.395 a year, with from 52 to B3 cents an hour for overtime, was not enough. However, it was all that could be allowed, ho said, and the clean- ers agreed to It If It began as of October 1. A spokesman for the Socialist Alder men said tho advanced salary did not represent a living wage and that only nan justice naa Deen aone. The board, after long debate, permitted tho Police Department to buy automo- bile tires and Inner tubes without public lotting.. The fact was that the depart- ment had already made the purchases when It had to borrow and equip 108 au- tomobiles In a hurry at the time of the rapid transit strikes. \Will Iloom fieri. 'Wood.

Su- premo Couvp Said to Havo Tried to Evade Draft. IT'S FALSEHOOD, HE SAYS Colby Shows Candidate's Man- ager Already Is on Becord for Newburger. Tammany's ticket and Tammany's candidates havo not for many seasons faced such a discouraging outlook In an off year as confronts their leaders now. Perhaps never before In the history of tho organization has there been such a disposition displayed on tho part of the regulars to run off tiw reservation. Dissatisfaction with the personnel of the Tiger's ticket, couplad with what amounts to nothing less than Insubor- dination on the part of district leaders and the other factors of the organiza- tion's machine, has set the bigwigs of thu Hall by their ears. The realization seemed to come last night to many of them that they had attempted to \put too much across.\ Men of the organization who hereto- fore havo been stanch In their loyalty to the extent that thoy would never ad- mit even the possibility of detent told Tub Sun last night that \things looked bad for the whole outflt.\ In addition It became a matter of fact that In halt a dozen districts always regarded as copper riveted the leaders have not been able to keep their voters In line. Many factors have entered to bring about the present situation, but perhaps among the most Important has been Charles F. Murphy's autocratlo action in turning down Supreme Court Jus- tice Joseph E. Newburger and City Court Justlco Richard IL Smith for Tho designation of Irwin Untermyer has never been explained to the satisfaction of the rank and flls of the organization who cannot see why he should be selected for such an im- portant office aa the Supreme Court. Furthermore, the campaign methods of young Mr. Untermyer have not been such as appeal to the Murphy cohorts. Snlil to Have Sou Kb t Exemption. Tho question continues to be asked within the organization, \Why Unter- myer?\ Murphy's other selections have not been such as would Inspire con- fidence among his followers. So that tho disclosure that enmo yesterday of Mr. Untermyer's attempt to ob- tain deferred classification In tho Fed- eral draft on representations that he was a farmer, as head of a necessary agricultural enterprise, has left the reg- ulars gasping. Investigation showed that Mr. Unter- myer, who Is one of Murphy's personal selections for a place on the Supreme Court bench, had sought exemption from military Bervlce on the ground that ho was the necessary, sole, managing, con- trolling or directing head of a neces- sary agricultural enterprise.

He was classified with other married men with children whose wives wero not en- tirely dependent upon them. The records further show that young Untermyer ap- pealed from tho local board's ruling and brought hlB case to the attention of tho i.trixt hn.irri nf which Charles B. Hughes was chairman. His application for special consmeration on me Bruuuun that ho was nn agriculturist wero de- nied here also and finally was put In Class The armistice Intervened, however, before ho was called for In- duction Into the military service. Calls It Complete Fulmkood. These circumstances, taken with the previously published Information that Untermeyer swore ore personal assess- ments of J30.000 In 1917 on the ground that ho was a resident of Warren county and not of New York county, havo not done much to Inspire confidence In his candidacy, particularly amons that element of Tammany's supporters represented by veterans of the old Sixty-nint- h Hegimcnt. A statement was Issued last night by Mr. Untermyer characterizing tho story that he sought to evade military service as a \completo falsehood, evidently cir- culated by political adversaries from un- worthy motives.\ The statement con- cluded : \I was not Included within the ages covered by the first call. In my return to the second can 1 expuciiy siaiea that mv occupation was that of a law yer. In compliance with the Instruc tions of tho war Department witn re- spect to agricultural and Industrial pur- suits I also showed, ns required to do, that I was the owner of a farm of about (Of acres In the State of New York. I stated explicitly that I was only Interested In this farm financially and that I was not a farmer, but earned my living exclusively by the practise of the law In tho city of New York. \On my own return, which was made before a local board In the city of New York, I won put In Class Just where a lawyer of my age with a wife and three children be- longed. Had tho war not ended so un- expectedly I would In a short time have been called to the servloo.\ The Untermyer candidacy got anotner Jolt yesterday when It 'was developed that Qeorge Gordon Battle, chairman of the candidate's campaign committee, had gone on record as favoring tho candidacy of Justice Newburger for re- election nnd also that of\ City Court Jus- tice Smith, whose name has been coupled with that of Justice Newburger In the nntl-Murp- campaign. Balnbrldge Colby, cnairman of the Judiciary Committee that haB tho Newburger and Smith Interests In Its keeping, said yesterday: 'The appeal. Issued by Mr, Battle to lawyers on behalf of Mr, Untermyer might bo taken seriously were It not for tho fact that Mr, Battle Is already on record In a prior appeal 'asking for the reelection of Justice Newburger, I refer to the appeal signed by Mr. Bat- tle as a member of the executive com- mittee of the bar for this Judicial dis- trict that was Issued under date of July 9 lust. \Mr Battle was a member of the com- mittee and signed this appeal. Among his are many, leaders of the bar and former Justices of the court, lr It possible that Mr. Battle knows that he Is chairman ot the Untermyer campaign committee which is sending out appeals under his name-fo- r the elen. tlon of Irwin Untermyer and not Jus- tice Newburger? \Mr Battle has pledged himself to tha principle that it Is of first inroortance that the reelection of Judges shall be dependent solely upon their Judicial records and not upon political considera tions. As a friend of Mr. Battle I feel sure that somebody Is abusing his con- fidence and taking liberties with his name.\ COURT ASKED TO BAR KELLY AS CANDIDATE The Liberty Party's Growing strength Worries Tammany. Legal action that may have a distinct bearing on the outcome of tho political fight for tho lYcaldoncy of tho Board of Aldermen wn taken yesterday by the opponents of Michael' A. Kelly, official candidate of the Liberty Party. John B, Voorhls, president of the Board of Elections, yesterday after- noon was served with an order to show cause y before Supremo Court Jus- tice Glegcrlch why he should not be restrained from printing Kelly's name on tho ballots. Kelly's candidacy, attracting ns It has many of the malcontents and radi- cals within the Democratic party, has been a matter of more than casual con- cern to the Tnmmany leaders. Ho has shown Indications of a certain strength that appeared to come from the regular ranks and which the leaders feared might weaken the candidacy of Robert L. Moran, the regular nominee of the party, to an uncomfortable degree. If the court y should grant the application for an order forbidding the appearance of Kelly's name on the bal- lots Tammany will be hard put to It to know where his support will go. Tho application for nn order restrain. Ing the election board from printing K.eny'8 name on tho ballots was made in the name of Joseph P. Hagerty of 166 Sterling street, Brooklyn, through his attorney, Theodore T. Baylor, who alleges that Kelly's nominating peti- tions are without sufficient valid signa- tures. Piesident Voorhls was also served yesterday with an order to show cause why the name of Stephen J. Madlgan, independently nominated for the same office by the Liberal party, should not be put on tho ballot O'BRIEN ANSWERS WILLIAMS'S ATTACK Defends Part Irish Took in Revolutionary War. Washington, Oct. 21. Tho Irish Na- tional Bureau here made public to-d- c letter from Michael J. O'Brien, his- toriographer of the American Irish His- torical Society. New York, to Senator Williams, Democrat (Miss.), In which reply was made to tho Senator's attack en tho Irish in the Senate last week. Referring to Senator Williams's that the Irish had exaggerated the part their race played In the Revo- lutionary War, Mr. O'Brien quoted from offlcla documents In tho Government archives In London to show that the British commanders regarded the Irish in America as their \most serious an- tagonists.\ He also said he had \found abundant evidence to show that Irish soldiers in the British army took every opportun- ity of, deserting to the rebels,\ and added that he had found that at least 38 per cent, of \the American army of liberty wore of Irish birth or of Irish descent.'\ \Of 100 surnames of an ancient Irish origin, I have counted on tho rolls of the Revolutionary Army a total of ,\ he wrote, adding that there were nearly 1,500 officers of Irish blood and that Gen. Washington chose ns his aides a number of natives of Ireland and sons cf Irish Immigrants. DIES IN REGISTRATION BOOTH. Father of Candidate for Mayor Killed by Excitement. The excitement of registering for an election in which his son William a. Burke, Republican, Is a candidate for Mayor of Garfield, N. J., caused the death yesterday of James Burke, 70, of E4 Somerset avenue, Garfield. Mr. Burke entered a registration booth and was registering his name on the rolls when he pitched forward to the floor. Before a physician arrived he was dead. Ho had been connected with the engi- neering department of the Standard Oil Works at Garfield. llltr Ranch for West Virginia. Charleston, W. Va Oct 21.

MANY WIVES PHESENT Mrs. La Guardia Plays Part in Entertainment of the Suffragists. The firm of Rembaugh, Byers and Mandlgo. Inc., G. O. P., presonted \Ten Nights in a Barroom\ yesterday after- noon In the former saloon at 551 Hud- son street with an nil wife cast. The matinee had .been widely advertised and was attended by many women voters ot the neighborhood and the entire child population of the lower West Side. Tea nnd coffee flowed as beer and whiskey did In the old days before woman suffrage, and William IL Ander- son got on the Job and the general opinion was that the object of the oc- casion, to wit tho election of Miss Ber- tha Rembaugh to the ofTico of municipal Judge In the First District, was all but attained nnd needed but tho for- mality of November 4 to complete it. Miss Rembaugh of course was the star. Persons who beheld this formerly somewhat austere and reserved woman lawyer standing Jauntily wth one foot on the brass rail, leaning easily against the flag draped bar and talking with a pleased smile to the rows of Irish and Italian mothers\ and babies before ner about how they ought to vote for her and get their husbands to do so re- flected that politics certainly does edu-ca- to women. Campaign Manager Mls Flannagan admitted that when the mati- nee ended the star requested to .be led to a nice quiet grave, but she hold out blithely till tho last curtain. Mrs. Lu Gnardla Ha Hole. Mrs. F. II. La Guardla, wife of the Republican candidate for president of the Board of Alderman, .also took a leading role, and for a few exciting moments was the berolne of a mob sceno which nearly Pi ought the ponce reserves to the Rembaugh headquarters. Mrs. La Guardla, being as Bhe con- fessed new io jolltlcs, made the mis- take of opening the door and thi owing some candy to the clamoring children outsitfe not, she said, with any politi- cal purpose but because she hated to see them looking so hungry. Instantly the mysterious wireless telegraphy of tho region was In motion, and sixty children who had been battering at tho entrance becaina with miraculous quick- ness a multitude that filled the street. The blonde and slender Mrs. La Guardla disappeared completely In a swirl of youngsters, and no one knows how the scene would have ended If Mlsa Char- lotte Rudyarrt hadn.'t rushed to the res- cue. Miss Rudyard and her husband, whose name Isn't Rudyard but something else, the way thoee things are In Greenwich Village, have been long on the staff of the Xeo Republic and know how to deal with the masses. With wide swooping motions of her arms she gathered up a few dozens ot the children who had taken the first line trenches and threw them out over the regiments In the sec- ond line. Then she banged the door shut and locked It, but that taste of G. O. P. candy was to the besclglng hordes\ what one taste of blood Is to a young tiger, and every Mrs. Voter who tried to get Into 551 Hudson street thereafter had to wade through a Bea of children, while the RembaiKh campaign workers served tea with one hand and incessantly threw children out with the other. Come Early and Stay LanR, The women of the district came early and stayed long. Whether It was the agreeabl experience of having a party In the place where doubtless some ot their menfolk had In former times spent their evenings and pay envelopes, or whether it was true Republican devo- tion, or the lure ot the cakes and tea on the decorated bar anyhow, they re- sponded cordially to the Invitations of the Rembaugh campaign committee. Mrs. Charles E. Knoblauch was one of those who poured tea. and others were Mrs. Ollvo Stott Gabriel, Mrs. Lcsllo J. Tompkins and Mme. Cornell!.

But the women of the neighborhood who attended were all out and out Re- publicans and confidently predicted that \everything would be Republican In the district this year,\ though one of tnem said with a Blgh that a Tnmmany man, who lives next door to her, was \awful mean\ to her Just becauso he knows she Is going to cast her voto for tho eagle. $317,218,630 CITY . BUDGET IS SLASHED Burr's German Opera Decision on \War's End May Affect City Finances. Pruning of the city's tentative budget of (317,218,630 was begun last night by Mayor Hylan, meeting at City Hall with heads of departments. It becamo known that Comptroller Craig, who refused to voto for the budget on Monday night because It contained many Items not approved by the finance commltteo, of which he Is chairman, had set a start of examiners at work \yesterday scrutiniz- ing and checking up many of tho tentu-tiv- o allowances. It is understood that tho Comptroller said he would not assent to the budget oven in Its final form unless a lot of cutting was done. Tho Mayor and others agreed that there was much which was subject to elimination. Annlng 8. Prall, president of the Board of Education, appeared bcfore the, committee to protest against the threatened omission of J2S.000.001 I now schools. He said yesterday : \The present administration ...,idu school buildings an issue in the campaign of 1917 and promised a seat for every child. I hope the Board ot Estimate will see the wisdom of retaining this appro- priation, and I intend as far as possiblo to make a fight for what Is due from the board.\ In advising Mayor Hylan yesterday that German opera should be prohibited because the United States Is at 'war with Germany until the treaty of peace Is ratlflet' Corporation Counsel Burr may have had the city's finances In mind as well as the opera. It was pointed out unofficially that when tho Hylan ad- ministration requested the Legislature to suspond the \pay as you go\ policy adopted during the Mltchel administra- tion the Legislature did so for the period of the war and one year there- after. If the war, as the Legislature under stood It, ended on November 11 last, when the armistice was signed, the pay as you go policy would have to be re- sumed after the 11th day of next month. Tho Hylan administration apparently will contend that the suspension will continue for a year after the treaty ratification. If this view 1? accepted the Board of Estimate can cut huge sums out of the budget, Including the $23,000,000 school building Item and 3,000,000 for paving. and, thereby reduce next year's tax rate. It could then Issue corporate stock for the amounts needed, the burden of which would be distributed over many years. CHURCH ASKS RATIFICATION. Jersey Presbyterian Are AKnlnnl Reservation.
