The Hapgood fusion committee was subjected to some severe criticism by R. Ross Appleton, today, for Its attitude toward Mayor Gaynor in the consideration of candidates, and was served with notice that If the committee turns the Mayor down he will be renominated, anyhow, by the league of which Mr. Appleton Is chairman, and that maybe Tammany Hall will indorse him. Mr. Appleton takes issue with the Hapgood committee, and says that the question asked Mayor Gaynor as to whether he would decline a Tammany nomination for Mayor Is absurd.

He said: 'Tammany is the nickname or familiar designation of tbe Democratic party in the Borough of Manhattan only; that organisation cannot nominate a candidate for Mayor, but only for president of Manhattan Borough. It would be easy, therefore, for the Mayor to make a pledge that he would not accept such a nomination, since Tammany Hall cannot give It." "The committee which I represent." said Mr. Appleton In his communication to the Hapgood dellberators, "Intends to nominate Mr. Gaynor for Mayor. One the chief reasons is that he hag lifted the city government out of tbe control of the party organizations for the first time In Us history.

We ask every organization and every elector, without regard to politics, to Indorse our selection and elect hlin. We do not undertake the delicate and, as we think, over-righteous task of deciding who are good enough and who are uot euough to Indorse and vote for him." Mr. Appletou also Informed the committee that by reason of his tweenty-live years cf public service. Mayor Gaynor is by far tha strongest candidate, and charged that the committee had not attempted to live up to its avowed purpose of selectiug the most fit candidates, irrespective of their political affiliations. Borough President McAneny gut another good shod boost from the Non-Partlsau Municipal League, composed of Brooklyn and East Side business men.

John A. HarUlrian of Little Neck, Queens, told the committeemen that McAneny hai gained much strength in the past few days and praised his record after presenting his name as the choice of the Intelligent voters ot his community.

A Little Money Goes a Long Way These Days July days bring many interesting sales events to the foreground in the shops. Washable frocks, skirts, waists, underwear and all else pertaining to the realm of feminine apparel are subjected to repricings that make them eagerly sought.

You will find daily evidence of this in the advertising columns of THE EAGLE. And these special sales occasions are not confined to women's apparel. There are plenty of offerings in the way of toweling, sheets, pillow cases, table linens, and various things relating to home improvement and comfort. The advertisements are fruitful in their inducements. If you are wearing hot clothing and keeping back from buying for fear of giving your purse a pinch take on a new mental attitude.

THE EAGLE is a fine guide to economical buying. OXX AND CHUDOBA Asks Court to Stop Disposal of Ex-Employer's Property. JUSTICE SCUDDER TO DECIDE. Police Gazette Publisher Claims $100,000 or More Has Been EStaien. Application wis made today In the Supreme Court, before Justice Scudder, for an injunction restraining George A.

Oxx and Adolph Chudoba. formerly general manager and cashier, respectively, for Richard K. Fox, the millionaire publisher and real estate owner, from disposing of the properties which they are suspected of having purchased with part of the or more alleged to have been stolen by the two former employes, both of whom are under Indictment lu Manhattan for grand larceny. Counsel for Mr. Fox also asked for the appointment of a receiver to take chtrge of the real estate held by Oxx and Chudoba and the latter's wife, contending that If tbe property they hold Is disposed of the defendants, who are out on nominal ball, Oxx lu 2,500 and Chudoba in can easily fly the Jurisdiction.

G. B. Rosenheim, counsel for Fox, made a strong argument for the granting of an injunction and the appointment of a receiver, principally to Insure the recovery of part of the enormous sum tbe Police Gazette publisher alleges was stolen from him as a result of the alleged conspiracy Oxx and Chudoba entered Into. Oxx, who lives at US Seventy-ninth street, and Chudoba, whose home Is at 412 East Fifth street, were both represented by counsel, who declared that there is absolutely no necessity for either an injunction or a receiver, Inasmuch as the two were jierely under Indictment; that It had uot been proven they were guilty of the charges laid against them, as they hadn't yet been tried, and furthermore the properties held by Oxx and Mrs. Chudoba the house In which the former cashier aud his family live, is in the wife's name were purchased out of their saviugs.

Fox's Ex-Employes Deny Embezzlement Charge. Counsel for Oxx maintained that the only charge against his client was the larceny of $56 worth of co.il, which was yet unproven, and that he bad not been Indicted by the New York Grand Jury for embezzling any of the funds of the Richard K. Fox Company. He had been In the employ of Mr. Fox for something like twenty years, the lawyer said, and living economically as he did, be managed to save enough money out of his salary of $40 a week to purchase the house Bi 413 Seventy-ninth street, In which he lives.

As a matter of fact, he went on, Oxx only paid $1,000 down on the properly which is subject to a $2,000 mortgage and bought an old ram shackle house on the premises for $233. All told, tbe property is not worth more than $5,000 at this time at the very least. "Oxx never lived beyond his means," said counsel: "his wife always did "tier own cooking and never kept any serv ants. He was a faithful and conscientious employe of Mr. Fox for more than twenty year3.

and therefore there is no reason why an Injunction shonuld be now Issued lestralninR him from disposing of the property if he sees fit Nor Is there any necessity for the appointment of a ro-ceiver." It developed during the argument that there are two pieces of property held In the name of Mrs. Chudoba, the house and lot at 412 East Fifth street and abutting lots. Her lawyer declared that he purchased this property out of her husband's savings and that his arrest, which was an utterly unexpected blow, had caused her great and untold suffering. She paid $500 down on the property two years ago. he said, and has since been paying Install aients.

She and her husband never did have automobiles and never lived in luxury on money stolen from Fox he went on, and at the present, time there is a heivy mortgage on the property. As for the llkelhlood of Chudoba fleeing the jurisdiction, the lawyer pointed ont that he Is at present under $7,500 bond by a surety company. "My client has two children, one of whom Is 111." the lawyer said, "and with her husband now out of employment sho Is without means of support." Affidavits were submitted by Fox's counsel setting forth that the homes of both Oxx and Chudoha were luxuriously furnished and that the former cashier had a costly selection of Oriental rugs, bric- a-brac, taprstries, while Oxx's cellar was stocked with the rarest of wines. Peteetlves witn vis'ted Ohtidoba's home swore to affidavits that everything in the hctise was packed up ready to be moved when he was arrested, not long after he became suspicious that his alleged thefts hr.d been discovered. In disclaiming responsibility on behalf of Oxx for the distorted state of the berks of the Fov concern, the former manager's lawyer declared that Oxx could net devote all Ills time to the books.

The svstnm of bookkeeping, the expert ac- conntanf who took charge of the con cern, reported, aepenaea upon tne personal honesty and Integrity of the general manager and cashier, and that as a result of a conspiracy entered Into between Oxx and Chudoba, upward of had been stolen. "This is truly a Police Gazette method of setting up facts," Oxx's counsel retorted. Justice Scudder Instructed the attorneys to sumbit their affidavits and memoranda and reserved decision.

EXPECT ANNOUNCEMENT SOON Eadical Changes Planned in tern's Policy Elliott Says He's "Receptive." Sys- While no official announcement was forthcoming It was generally conceded lu financial circles today that Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Paclflc Railway, had been selected as successor to Charles S. Mellen as president of tha New Haven Railroad and Its subsidiaries by the sub-committee appointed by the New Haven board of directors to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr.

Mcllen. which Is to take effect as soon as his successor la named. When seen today at the Hotel Belmont, where he arrived yesterday from St. Paul fallowing the rumor that he would be JT' wmmmmA Howard Elliott, chosen. Mr.

Elliott said that he was In a receptive frame of mlud, but that he would make no statement as to the presidency of the New Haven. This was taken to mean that while he knew he bad been selected to succeed Mr. Mel-len he naturally would uot admit as much until his appointment had been confirmed by the executive committee of the board. The sub-committee which has been canvassing the situation to find a successor to the retiring president will report to the executive committe of the board tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock In tho offices of the New Haven Road In East Forty-fifth street, Manhattan. In to Mr.

Elliott, prominent railway men whose qualifications were seriously considered in tho search for a successor to Mr. Mellen hy the sub-com-raitlee were Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Railway; Daniel Willard, president ot the Baltimore and Ohio; F. P. Underwood, president of the Erie; J. C.

Stuart, vice president of the Erie, aud Edward E. Loomis, vice president of the Lackawanna. It is understood that Mr. Elliott was selected by the sub-committae at Its meeting in the Grand Ceutral Terminal ou Tuesday. The secret, however, was carefully guarded In order that the appointment should be confirmed before any public announcement was made.

Not only a new head of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Bystem to succeed President Mellen, but radical changes in the financial and operating policy with a revolution In the machinery of executive management will be recommended by the sub-committee of directors, which will report to the full board tomorrow. This was Indicated today by a leading member of the committee, who said that whoever was selected to succeed Mr. Mellen would probably have a different title than president that of chairman of the board, who would be supreme over the entire system, including the Boston and Maine aud the steamship and trolley lines. This director intimated that the Mtle of president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad proper would be conferred upon another man. who is also to be recommended at tomorrow's meeting.

This ofllciul would be a subordinate of the chairman, and the heads of the other divisions ot the New Haveu system would occupy similar subordinate positions. Changes in the bylaws of the road would be necessary, he said, in order to effect this rearrangement. The gossip which was rife in Wall Street had it that considerable pressure was being brought to bear upon Mr. Elliott to have him retain his present position. The impression prevails in the Street that during the past several years the Hill interests have been getting out of the Northern Pacific crndually and that the efforts to dissuade Mr.

Elliott from accepting the offer of the New Haven will be fruitless. In the event, of the refusal of Mr. Elliott, It is regarded as likely that either Daniel president of the Balti more and Ohio, or Benjamin Campbell, vice president nf the New Haven, will be offered the position.
