Murphy Sends Word Out Candidate Is Acceptable. New York, Aug. 16.—Tammany Hall. decided ' yesterday to accept County Judge John F. Hylan of Brooklyn as its candidate for mayor this year. It will thus ratify the se- lection made by the democratic fur sion comimittee of 170 at its meet- ing on Tuesday night, as well as that of the Business Men’'s league. The word has gone forth from Leader Charles F. Murphy to the district leaders to take Judge Hylan and to try and win with him. There was no disguising the fact that the district leaders did not want Hylan. ‘While the organization will be loyal to the candidate it was frankly admittea that the campaign would start with a considerable lack of enthusiasm so far as the leaders were concerned. The selection of Judge Hylan was admitted to be a personal triumph for John H. McCooey, the demo- cratic leader of Brooklyn. McCooey has' urged Judge Hyland’s selection all along, and when it became known that the judge would have the back- ing of William R. Hearst the demo- cratic fusion committee decided that it could ndt choose a better candi- date. Munphy and his close advisers were placed in an awkward position, as some fifteen or twenty Tammany men were on the fusion committee and had agreed to stand by the com- mittee’s choice. Among these mem- bers are Sheriff Smith, Thomas F. McAvoy, Senator James A. Foley and Senator Robert F. Wagner. In response to requests from fire- men concerning water pressure, Clerk compiled lists showing the maximum and minimum pressure in 60 séctions of the city and has forwarded them ta the various engine houses. of the Water Board P. J. Egan has | past three months, will show busi- ness the.way, and inform the public as well. y “Victory in the great struggle in which we are engaged depends large- ly on the power, intelligence and speed of the industry of the United States; upon our ability to produce will be of incredible value in both | facter and better than ever before, the things necessary to efficient warfare. This convention of American business men should show, not to our people alone, but to the whole world, in what spirit and with what determina- tion business faces the task ahead of us. Out of common council we hope to see what we may do to develop still greater efficiency and render greater service in carrying the war to a quick and successful conclusion. Duty That Business Owes Government in War, Business has been putting its best foot forward and has showed itself essentially patriotic and willing to make big sacrifices, it is said. Ac- cording to those best informed busi- ness is suffering in the public eye for two reéasons—first, lack of know- ledge how to adjust itself; second, the narrow and selfish attitude of an al- most negligible but somewhat prom- inent minority. “The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has gone flatly on rec- ord against a profit out of war,” El- liot H. Goodwin, secretary of the Na- tional Chamber said, “It must not be overlooked however, that business in peace time is conducted for profit. That is the rule of the game. With- out profit it cannot live. Success of business is measured by profit. Business to ‘Ask How It May Proceed. “Patriotic business men are per- fectly ready to work on another basis so long as they can live, but they must have clearly indicated what the new basis will be, along what line they shall proceed and what is ex- pected of them. Without criticism of them it may well be said that government officials have been too busy in the immediate crisis creating armies, sending them to the front, and providing them with immense supplies, to do more than go after the supplies from the business men and not to outline a policy along which business can proceed.” It is said never have business men in America faced such rapidly chang- ing and' uncertain conditions. There will be thoughtful discussion of them by prominent speakers. Business will also be done in group meetings, the groups reporting as resolutions are reached to the general gathering. The attendance will go beyond the membership of the National Chamber. What Business Men Will Discuss. A principal topic of discussion will be the duty that business owes' the government in war. The strongest possible emphasis will be laid upon this. There will come the question of how business of the country may ren- der even greater service in Wwinning the war. This will include what may be done to conttol prices, how prior- ity may be most quickly and effective- ly established, how greater efficiency in Jand and water transportation shall be developed, how we may best provide for and protect our forces on land and sea and those dependent upon them at home, and what steps may be taken for better education of the nation on the issues at stake -in the war. ‘Ways and means by which business must readily adjust itse]f to the con- ditions produced by the war will be considered. Also there will come the questions of how we shall provide for business enterprises not essential to the nation in war time, food conser- vation, 1ts speclal importance to bus- iness men, industrial relations and employment problems ,and foreign trade, banking and credit in war time. After the War Preparations. Of particular interest will be the readjustment after the war for which business must prepare. This will in- clude the question as to what will be the course of prices on raw mater- jals and finished products after the war, how we shall plan for replac- ing our men in industry after they return from the war, and what new responsibilities in international re- lations may be expected after thec war. It is said to be not only the patriotic duty of every live business man who can possibly arrange to do so, to attend the convention in order to show emphatically where the bus- iness men of the United States stand in the present crisis, but all will be urged to come in order that each may gain from such a meeting all possible knowledge as to how he can plan more intelligently to be of greater service in the common cause.

The trouble started on Cherry street over the destroying of some tomato plants. The Napi wo- man testified that the three accused followed her to Maple street on her way to work. Erasmo struck her with a stick,Amelia pulled her hair and Rose Naples bit her on-the arm. The defense alleged that Cora Napi began the trouble by throwing stones at the accused, Baretti said that he did hit Cora with the stick because she called his wife names. The court was of the opinion that Cora Napi by throwing the stones was the aggressor and discharged all three of the ac- cused. ‘Who Threw the Brick. Ludwig Kalp was before the court on the charge of assaulting Barth- one Maloski at the Stanley Works Tuesday night Maloski had a cut in his head which he said was inflicted by. a brick in hands of Kalp with whom he had been fooling by throwr ing water at one another, The ac- cused was fined $7 and costs, Frank Scriner was fined $7 and costs for assaulting John.
