DELEGATES HOLD CITY JOBS. THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, SO BROOKLYN [ SOLID FOR HEARST AT STATE CONVENTION — John H. McCooey’s Hand- fF picked Dependable Dele- Pe gates Are All for Mayor John F, Hylan’s “My Man.” Afraid They'll Be Eased Out of Fat Jobs if They Don’t Do What “‘the Boss” Says, and He Says “Hearst.” Tt fs against the law to pay money for the votes of delegates to a State }cenvention, but there apparently ‘* no Jaw to prevent Jonn H. McCooey Democratic leader of Kings, from se- Necting delegates to the Syracuse con- vention, the most influential of whorn re holders of city jobs, and afraid hey will lose their jobs if they do not ledge themselves tu vote for the omination of Mayor John F Hylan’ ly Man," William Randolph Hearst, to take the race for Governor of the State of New York. In the absence of any such inhi- Mhition, Mr. McCooey has handpicked 183 delege‘es pledged to Hearst for at Meast the first ballot. This was com- Uparatively an easy matter, because enty-on. of the twenty-three dis- Bict leaders in Brooklyn hold Jobs om which they may be removed by M@irect or indirect action on the part Pr Mayor Hylan or Mr, McCooey and j1@ 224 office-holding district leader, mes A. McQuade, wos elected to the ce of County Register, a $12,090 pb, with the support of Hearst and, Phaturally, he {s a Hearst man. © The Brooklyn delegation {s solid for [Hlearst. In conversation not intended lor publication many of them frankly dmit that their adherence to Hearst js due to their positions on the city ‘or county payroll. In another place will be found the st of Brooklyn Derhocratic district leaders who are holding jobs de- fondest on the good will of Mayor Hylan or John H. McCooey, and Mr. McCooey 1s one who holds a job that Mayor Hylan could ease him out of. The only Brooklyn leader wh¢ not on the public payroll is Daniel Carroll of the 14th District, whose private soda water manufacturing husiness does not allow him time to devote to outside pursuits. Mr. Car- poll, however, is a Hearst man. The Evening World also prints to- say a complete Hist of the delegates nd alternates selected bythe Hearst snachine in Brooklyn to represent the Democratic voters of the borough in ne selection of a candidate for Gov- rnor at Syracuse. iends of most of the delegates know that if they cre free of boss dictation they would lot vote for William Randolph Hearst > be a. candidate for any office. Mecommissioner of Accounts David Hirshfield is a delegate from the 20th District and James P, Sinnott, the ther of Mayor Pylan's private sec- tary and son-in-law, is a delegate om the District B Ajiong in tt rly summer giany ¢ Mahe district leaders were outspoken } thelr opposition to Hearst and iudly proclaimed that they would bt stand for his candidacy for the sEaffice of Governor N only one trict leader in Kings County has Mie nerve to maintain his anti- Jearet stand. | He is James J. Kane, leader of the Ba District. Mr. Kane is a Com- misstoner of Elections at a salary of £,000 a year. He was appointed by he Board of Aldermen at the <tjon of Mr. MeCooey. Mr, Kane ig an -and-out Al th man—but he is not golng to the ention, When the delegates were McCovey and the st managers in Kings Mr. Kane 1s passed b ¥ man was Pilstituted for him, Jt was explained fbut Mr. Kane ts too old to stand the rip to Syracuse and the excitement of State convention. The Hearst boosters started after ie Kings delegates months ago. As he time approached for the designa- don of dete and alternates can- Jates were sounded as to their pref ‘ones. The Svening World knows of number of prominent Brookly: jnocrats who wanted to go to Syra- tise as delegutes bt withdrew th yaines when they were told ‘hat “The ai ALCOHOL DEATHS HERE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE »ypeland Says More Died in Eight Months This Year Than All 1921. Deaths from alcoholism are in- creasing, according to statistics of the Health Department, Dr. Copeland, Commissioner of Health, said to-day. During the first eight months of this year there were 169 deaths from al- coholism as compared with 119 deaths from this cause during the whole of last year. During the first eight months of this year there were also five deaths from wood alcohol poisoning and five from grain alcohol poisoning. Dr. Copeland pointed out that from 1910 to 1920 there had been a steady decline in the number of alcoholic deaths. From Sept. 1 to Sept. 9 this year six deaths from wood alcoholic poisoning were reported in Brooklyn. SHOT FROM STREET HITS HIS PILLOW Two Boys, Arrested, Plead Pistol Just Went Off. Arthur Plentl, eighteen, of No. 3 West 118th Street, ts being held to- day on a charge of possessing a loadeti volver, and Benjamin Arkin, same age, of No. 73 West 118th Street, is being held pending investigation as a result of two shots fired last night in front of the former addre: Detec- tives Kramer and Gompers, Nearing the shots, arrested the two in Plentl's apartment Arkin told the detectives he had dought the revolved from a sailor for 50 cents and was examining it when it went off twice. Nathan Sapir, who occupies an apartment on the ground, felt something strike his pillow two inches from his head, and examination revealed that one of the bullets just missed his head. ae CROWS SAVE POTATO CROP FROM WORMS Flock of Birds Devour Pests That Threaten Jersey “Spuds.

Three hundred crows came along to- day and ate up every blamed worm In the fleld. »The farmers say they owe the crows hundreds of dollars. —Mr. MeCooey—had pledged f to: support Hearst to save lis Ml life and patronage. time John has tried to get along without Hearst,” it is explained, “he has been beaten. Hylan has given him everything he asked for. He his to support Liearst or commit political suicide.” “Well,” said one of the men wio were turned down, to the Evening World reporter, “what was I going to do? Im for Al Smith and against everything Hearst stands for, but I believe in organization and I couldn't put up an effective fight in any event. So T let it be’ known that I didn't want to go to the convention."* M'COOEY'S DOINGS IF HEARST IS NOMINATED. If the Hon. "Fingy” Conners, Mr, Hears! campaign manager, is to be credited, he has succeed in garnering 196 Hearst delegates up-State and he expects to accumulate more in T day's primary. He will certainly yet three in Buffalo—that is admitted by he Hearst opposition. Therefore, if Mr. Conners ts telling the truth Mr. Hearst will go into the convention with 199 delegates from up-State and 132 delegates from Brooklyn Here is a total of 881 votes.
