NO. 237 ALL IS OVER BUT THE VOTING FOR NEW YORK BOSS But Whal l? to Come After the Primary of Tuesday I*i Something Else Again, 'Tin Said "WRECK THE PARTY" ! Both Side* Accuse the Oth er of Trying to Do It and, Twill l?e Strange If It ' Doesn't Happen By nORKRT T. SMALL. (Br AMorltted Prw l > New York. Sept. 14. ? With! Governor Al Smith being hailed by. hia followeni an "the next presl- 1 dent of the lrnited State*." New York's hectic and at times un* pleasant phase is concerned. What Is to rome after the primary of Tuesday Is quite something elso ?gain. Both sides In (he Democratic j fight are accusing the other of, trying to "wreck the party' and I It looks almost certain that some move In that untoward direction will he made after the primary, ballots are counted. Mayor John F. Hylan. repudiat ed by Jammany Hall, but sup-, ported by Democratic leaders in ? Brooklyn. Staten Island and Long! Island City, hns refused from the | beginning of the primary cam paign to pledge himself to stand by the results of and there is a[ feeling all through the city that: If defeated at the polls on Tues day he will soon announce him-' ?elf as a candidate. The assump tion is that he will raise the eiy of fraud, despite the fact that ho has had vlrtual.v the entire polte* force of the city working on th?i primary lists of enrolled Demo crats. checking and recherkin* and has ordered the "force" to duly at the polls. Governor Smith has read May-, or Hylan out of the party because of his refusal to commit himself to the primary results and be cause of his barking by William! Randolph Hearst who has proud- { ly proclaimed from California that j he Is not a Democrat but an Inde pendent In politics. The fight In Its final Btages has grown exceert-j Ingly bitter, deep wounds are he-! ing Inflicted, and evfryone is won dering what the after rosults are to be. Although the consensus of opinion does not give Mayor Hy lan more than a ghost of a show In the primary, and bets are being offeiod at odds of fire to one; against him. the mayor has un doubted strength among "the peo- ' pie" or "the common people" as' you choose to call them. Nearly gll the English language newspa- , per* are against him. oven the Re publicans forgetting in large de-i gree their own primary contests In order to lamhast the mayor and , urge his defeat by his own party, ' But most of the foreign lan-i guage newspapers are for the may- 1 or and he will poll a tremendous vote among Ihe citizens who read these papers to the exclusion of all othern. He has made an especial appeal to them and as this foreign language colony Is almost wholly within the confines of Manhattan. Where Tammany boasts Its com plete control there may be a sur-| prise for Al Smith and some of the other regulars In the Manhat-I tan vole next Tuesday. Discounting thin Influence., however. It would look today as , though the mayor has been lead ing a lost cause for the psst two or three weeks. Mr. Hylan could have defeated Tammany In this fight and won his renomlnafion : and re-election If Governor Smith Had not turown all of hid politi cal atrength'and atrlklng personal ity Into the fray. Governor Smith aaw a growlna menace In the ton I tlOQanre of Hylan In office. He demanded to know upon what the| Owe* hi at the city hall had fed that he ahould crow great enough | to demand a third term of four yearn at $25,000 a year.

For hla own I future political necurlty Governor Smith had to conserve thla vote ?d not permit the Hylan Influ lee to grow too strong. #0 the governor ha* been the big thorn In Hylan's side In thla battle. Hylan haa known It. He "la aeen hla third term virtually rejrt. aalde by the actlvltlea of "-governor and hla rage haa ?n no hoaada.
