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 reformer*' 1. M.

ILLNESS EXTENDED OVER SOME WEEKS E TO EVADE THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY 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."

With the death of Mr. High, Atlanta loses one of it*' pioneer department •tore merchants, and one of Its most public spirited and enterprising cltl- xens.

Ho was proniptly placed tinder arresl. tiud 4»teps will be taken to have him deported. 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- tlon. especially In view of the agitation now In progress In Japan agnlnHt the United State* because of the discrim ination shown Japanese school chil dren In Sail Francisco. It is not regarded a> likely that other action will be attempted here except to deport th# offending officer.
