OBJECTED TO CHANGE. McCarthy Was Ready to Put Up $125,000 Balance for Tammany Chief. Addftional statements made by John A. McCarthy, in connection with the Murphy-Hartog glucose caso, were made public yesterday. M. Carthy, contractor and olose friend of Murphy, was questioned by Max Steuer, attorney for Hartog, in an examination before trial of the action in which Hartog sued Murphy for $10,000,000. Murphy's response being 4 counter sult for $175,000. Hartog’s complaint is based on the refusal of Murphy to remain his party ner and the shutting off of the supply of glucose he bad been getting from the Corn Products Company. The proposal that MoCarthy take over Murphy's interest had been discussed ‘by Murphy, his lawyer, Baldwin, and McCarthy, but Hartog had not ac- quiesced. It was about this time, when Murphy was getting impatient, that Jim Smith, a Tammany As- sistant District Attorney, issued sub- relatives, A part of the addititonal statements of McCarthy, made public yesterday, | refer to this particular matter, Mc- Carthy asserting that on one occa- sion he had met Hartog on the street eral things. The examination con- tinued in part: Q. Is that all that took place? A. Oh, no, more than that took place. He handed me a subpoena to read, made out by the State of New York or the District Attorney’s office. He said, “What do you think of this?” I said, “I don't know. What is that for?” He said, “Is this trying to annoy me?” I said, “Ask the fellow whose name is down there. He said, “I wonder how Mr. Murphy would like me to tell this story to the newspapers and have @ 1 THREAT TO MURPHY. I said, “Why the hell don’t you go and ask Murphy? Bo you put that to me to ask Murphy? I am not in that business, I am not a messengor boy for you scaring Murphy, because | that isn't my line, If you got any- thing else to talk about glucose, talk about it, but nothing else. And I! handed his paper back and told him) good day. Q. Whose mame was signed to that subpoena? A. I couldn't tel you now. It wasa form of subpoena. Q. Didn't it say on it: “Ask for As- aistant District Attorney Smith?” A. That, I couldn't say, Q. You know Smith? A, Yes. knew Smith a long while, Q. Didn't you see that on the sub- poena? A. No. I won't say it wasn't I Murphy, when next seen, sald Me- Carthy, wanted to know If Hartog was honest and asked: “Have you pason to believe he ie not hon- MeCarthy replied truth.” Murphy said nd to get away from “this gon- and refused to talk further matter, according to Mc- + y next talked to Hartog, and the latter complained of the way Baldwin was behaving, protesting that Ba'dwin had made him buy @ beans for $175,000, but when Mc- thy offered to take it off his ands he sald he would not ell it for less than $300,000, Then Hartog, so McCarthy said, went on to com- plain that he had to pay Baldwin for the glucose he was getting; that the corn products people were charging more than he should have to pay and that he had lent Baldwin money CALLED MURPHY “MOST SCARY) MAN IN WORLD.” McCarthy went at great length Into this conversation, saying Hartog had wanted to get the glucose supply of Huyler’s and other manufacturers cut down or stopped, so he could get more glucose, He thought, McCarthy said, Murphy might belp to this end. McCarthy said: “Ho didn’t think the Donnelly act or the Sherman act would interfere at all, as long as Murphy was his }man, 1. said, ‘You are a_ fool He is the most scary man In the world, He will help somebody but |he won't hurt anybody. The minute you tal about hurting anybody you are gone.” Q. During all this pertod did he ee you that the Corn Products Com- would not deliver any glucose to him? A.No. He sald that the Gorn Products Company all during the period of his busy days wouldn't give him enuugh of goods. Q. But didn’t he tell you that they| would not deliver any at all? No, be didn’t aay one word that way. TWO BRONX NK CELEBRITIES | TAKEN INTO THE ELKS Billy Gibson | ‘and Gus. Gus Beiswenger Ride the Benevolent Order's Goat. Billy Gibson and Gus Beiswenger, both Bronx celebrities, ware initiated last night in the Bronx Lodge, No. 871, B. P. O. B. George Bothner, the wrestling champion, presented Billy ~ Gibson with a diamond Etk’s button, and Albert Goldman, representing the members of the Gridiron Club, gave him a gold card case. Similar gifts | went to Beiswenger from the club and Charles Bergen. Seymour Mork, Past Exalted Ruler, made the presen- tation speech to Gus and welcomed both men to the big Elk family. Following the initiation, fifteen otber members were installed, after which a big reception was held in the club house at Burnside Avenue and the Grand Concourse, on it, but if it was on it, I don’t know, Q.

Didn't it occur to you that in a matter in the District Attorney's office Mr, Murphy might be useful? A. I never intervene between the District Attorney's office in any question in- volved. Q. How is that? A. I never went to the District Attorney or to any other person. Q. It didn’t ocour to you that Mr. Murphy might be of any assistance. I don't know that, If he thought 80, he should have gone to Murphy; not to me. Q. Did he tell you what this sub- poena was about? A. He didn't ap- parently know what it was sbout nimself, Q. Wasn't that the important mat- | ter he wanted to see you about? A. No. The important matter wa to see Mr. Murphy to talk about the Haldwin affair and to eee if Murphy and I couldn't get together and straighten the thing out so that Mur- phy would stay, Mr. Smith was asked by The World yesterday whether he had any com- ment to make on the revelations of his activities in this case. He re- plied that he would make no state- ment, WAS “LOOKING FOR MURPHY, NOT HIS MONEY.” McCarthy told Mr, Steuer that he had stood willing to put up tho re- mainder of $125,000 which was to have been paid in to the treasury of the concern by Murphy, and that he would have to put it up as his own contribution or as an advance for Murphy. When he spoke of this to Murphy the latter told Mm to be careful and to go along and find out all he could about Hartog, so he did this and found out things he did not Mike but the nature of which he did not reveal to Mr. Steuer, as they had nothing to do with the business. When ho made the proposition to Hartog, the latter, he said, refused tho money, saying there were enough ac- crued profits to take care of every- thing and that "it wasn't the monoy he waa looking for, it was Murphy,” Mr, Steuer asked at this point if the profita then had not amounted to $257,498.99, and MoCarthy responded that these were Hartog’s fguyes, bat pat he had bean shown the 8 #0. urriedly he could not verify 9) «. \e 1919, SWAPPING NCGOK AND LUCE STRENGTH sins Fusion Seems Certain as “Foundling” Circular Booms Untermyer and Newburger. As an answer to a piece of cam |Paigning favorable to Irwin Unter- myer and Justice Newburger, but which the older members of the rank and file of both the Republican and Democratic parties do not approve, plans are being discussed in several Assembly districts for quietly form- ing what may be termed a “Lauce- McCook League,” aimed to bring about the election to the Supreme Court of Justice Robert L. Luce (Dem.) and Philip J. MoCook (Rep.). There has been circulated in the 234 Assembly District, and perhaps in other districts, a card ostensibly pre- pared by the League of Women Voters and addressed to “Mr. and Madam Voter.” It takes the liberty of calling attention “to the following candidates” and then names only two of the candidates for the Su- preme Court, although there are four representing the two prfncipal po- litical parties, The names as given are: Joseph E. Newburger (Rep.) Irwin Untermyer (Dem.) On the remainder of the card the names of both the Republican and Democratic nominees for Assembly and Board of Aldermen in the district are given, so that is a superficial ap- pearance of absolute fair play. In each case the Republican candidate is men- tioned first. The card is not #igned, nor does {t bear the union label or the imprint of the printer, In fact, there is no way of tracing its origin. At the Irwin Untermyer headquar- tors last evening it was said nothing was known of the authorship of the card. At the Newburger headquarters the same statement was made. Of course, neither the Luce headquarters nor the headquarters of Mr. McCook assumed responsibility. —, But Tammany men, who resent the nomination of Untermyer as a man >! i if a me CA 7 a a) ) , thu iy ihe ml Overcoats for Boys From 3 to 10 Years $16 to $3 Q00 ALL-WOOL FABRICS, HANDSOMELY TAILORED, AND ALL-WOOL FLANNEL LINED!

Hence both organizations, irrespec- tive of the wishes of district leaders, and not a few district captains are showing a willingness to “trade” with captains of the opposite party and “put over” Luce and McCook. It is probable that this movement will gain considerable headway in the last week of the campaign. Incidentally it has developed dur- ing this campaign that the house” crowd in the Assembly dis- tricts is almost @ thing of the past. No longer scores of men hang about the district clubs hoping to get city jobs by favor of the leadér. Most of the men who used to form these of politics that pay better.
