EFFORTS OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND CROKER TO INJURE HEARST
ACT IN FAVOR OF THE CANDIDATE
EiJiior Is Idol of the
Masses in New
York.
“DICK” CROKER HAS
STOCKS AT STAKE
Murphy Declares That Tam
many Hall Only Did
What Was Right.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
New York, Nov, 2.—The event* of
today In New York politic* are the ca
blegrams of "Dick" Croker congrat
ulating McCarren on opposing Hearst
and the message of President Roose
velt, through Secretary Root, bitterly
assailing the Democratic candidate.
At Democratic headquarters It I*
claimed by Chairman Ihmsen and other
leaders that Croker'* attempt from
Europe to interfere in an organisation
that he deserted, will help, rather than
hurt the cause, and Tammany leaders
declare Croker’s pronouncement Is
harmless. .
Croker Owns Much Stock.
The American today disclosed the
fact that Croker Is In possession of
>750,000 of lnterurban stock and. there
fore, an all too Intimate friend of Ryan
and Belmont.
I think I may say truly that the
president's message has fallen flat In
the beginning. Almost Censled eager
ness with which Mr. Roosevelt wished
a denunciation qf the Democratic can
didate, the bitterness of his language,
and the Intemperate fury of his In
junction to crush Hearst, will react In
favor of the editor.
President's Act Falls Flat.
The act of the president In reviving
at this time the utterly absurd ■ charge
that the; reform agitations of Hearst
Inspired the bullet of Ctolgos* that
alew McKinley, la declared by the few
Impartial men I meet to be unworthy
of Roosevelt, and Is declared by all
men.tl.pdp ba too Indefinite and radl
cal to do any hafnl; '•
The people of Georgia Tan under,
aland how. violent and Ill-founded
abuse always reacts In favor of the
, abused- party, and the Hearst head
quarters are smiling broadly today at
the lnterurban stockholder,.Croker, of
London, and at the violent and intern-
perate.partlsan in the White House.
They Wait for Hearst.
Last night In the Ghetto T saw an
audience of 4,000 Russian and German
Hebriws wait from 7:80 to U:30p. tn.
for t^e appearance of the Democratic
Icadfr. In the Interim they cheered
to the echo every allusion to free gov-
eminent, the American flag and pure
politic*.
Then, at 11:30, when Hearet, frosli-
looklng, clean and smiling, came to
medt them With that same half shy
manner that comports so dramatically
tilth his firm lip and massive Iron Jaw,
the foreign'born' population cheered
him wildly for several- minutes with
spoken. expression* of love and gratl
lode and confidence that I have never
yet seen given to any other populat
leader.
But He Won’t Lose.
It looked like the love of the
mon people for a friend rather than
the welcome of partisan* tn a chief.
Thirty minutes, later a brilliant au
dience which had waited even longer
In aristocratic Carnegie Hall, gave him
*t midnight a welcome longer, louder
snd even more Impressive than the
other.
Win or lose, Hearst I* the Idol of the
masses and the plain people, hut he Is
not going to .lose. Mr. Hearst’* voice Is
greatly weakened by a severe cold,
caught In open-air *|>eechr* up-statv.
hut he hopes to go through with lib
colossal task of fourteen speeches to
night. '
If lie doesn't speak he shows himself,
and Ills appearance seems to have the
"nine effect on the people as his words
BRYAN ASKS FRIENDS
TO VOTE FOR HEARST
Xew York, Nov. 2.—William J. Bryan.
In a tetter to Borough President Bird S.
footer, which the latter made public
today, asked all hte friends in New
York state to vote for William R.
Hearst, the head of the Independence
League and Democratic tickets. Mr.
Bryan's letter was as follows:
“My Dear Mr. Coter:—I am very
anxious to see Mr. Hearst elected and
would have come to New York to help
If I had thought an outside speaker
would have been of assistance#
“From Indications, however, he is go
ing to win, as he ought to. If I have
any friends there I want tflem to vote
for him. Yours, “BRYAN*.”
“That should be enough tor all Dem
ocrats to supoprt Mr. Hearst solidly,”
sold Mr. Uoler. Some of Mr. Hearst'a
newspaper opponents must think the
people nave lost their sense of humor
when they solemnly quote statements
of Croker and McCarren, those Ideal

CAPT, GEORGE BELL
MURPHY SAYS R008EVELT
AND CROKER WILL FAIL.
New York. Nov. 2.—When Charles F.
Murphy was asked If he had anything
to say regarding Croker's statement,
Minted in the newspapers, he said:
"My best, answer to that statement
i* that the Tammany Hall delegation
t*> the Buffalo convention, In a caucus
held before the nominations were made,
by a vote of 98 to 9, decided to sup|H>t*t
Mr. Hearst. It was the will of the
i“«ik and flle of the Democrat?, not at
the dictation of any one. We have
no apologies to make to any one for
action."
“Wliut effect will Mr. Root's speech
and Mr. Croker’* message have on the
vote?" he-was asked.
"Neither Roosevelt nor Mr. Croker
an change the situation. I still think
that my prediction of luo.000 plurality
fur Mr. Hearst in this state is correct.
As a result of a canvass taken In
Queens borough, I can safely say that
Mr. Hearst will receive a plurality of
• .000 over tfiere."
Asked concerning his idea of the mo

J. M. High, one of the most promi

day afternoon at S:4» o'clock after an
Illness of severaf week*. He had bat
tle dwlth death for five or six ilaya and
secern! limes his life was despaired of,
but each time he rallied. His physl-

With the death of Mr. High, Atlanta

A'seareh of the young officer'*
effects brought to light several
well executed sketches of forts in
the island, on which were annota
tions showing the arrangements
of guns, distribution of soldiers
stationed in each fort, and gener
al comments on the effectiveness
of the denfenses.
Steps were immediately taken
by the military authorities when
they learned of the arrest to sec
that none of the officer's drawings
shall get out of the islands if they
have, not already been sent. The
mails will probably bp examined
to see if they contain any suspi
cions letters or documents being
sent lo Japan.
In military and government circles
the arrest has caused a great eensn-

now In progress In Japan agnlnHt the
