Sexton Tompkins Ave, Congregational Church. 28-2-m ROWE SAYS ENEMIES ARE USING OLD TRICK Trying to Get Him to Use Franking Privilege for Campaign Literature. The time-worn campaign move of charging Congressmen with using their franking privilege to further their fights for re-election was made against Representative Frederick W. Rowe today by Dr. George Everson of 364 Greene By way of answer Rowe declared that several attempts had been made to trick him into using the frank in campaign work, but thus far, Dr.

they Everson had failed. sent a letter to Speaker Champ Clark enclosing a photographic copy of a letter sent in a franked envelope to Abraham G. Tonkonogy of 1384 Union a Democrat, asking him to register, and also a photographic copy of a typewritten circular letter urging women to register. "The letter sent to Mr. Tonkonogy," Mr.

Rowe said, "was mailed on October 6. A man called at my office just before I left; said he was the son of George Tonkonogy, who lives on my block; and asked me to write a letter to his brother, who lived with his father, requesting him to register. I wrote the letter in long hand and left it to be mailed. My clerk was not sure whether it should go in a franked envelope or be stamped and in my absence used the frank. It is the only letter of its kind which, to my knowledge, was sent out in a franked envelope.

As for the printed circular- got out a lot of them and they were delivered by messenger and not through the mails. "Subsequent to the sending of the letter to Mr. Tonkonogy, it appears to me that an organized movement was made to trick me into sending similar letters wholesale by frank. On October 11, a man called my office on the telephone and asked me to take down twelve names and addresses and to send each an appeal to register. He said he was 'friend of I told him the addresses were outside the bailiwick was working in and that if he was a friend of mine to go and get out the voters himself.

On October 20, while I was at church, some one called up my home and asked the maid to take a list of seven names and addresses and to request me to send them letters requesting them to vote for me on Election Day. The man did not leave his own name. A Democrat living in the neighborhood where the addresses were located said he knew four of the names and that they were of people who never voted for a Republican candidate. I didn't send the letters." Abraham G. Tonkonogy is a stanch Democrat and was appointed to a $3,000 job as Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Street Opening Bureau, succeeding a Mitchel fusion man, Paul Jones.

O. NEW DOCKING PLANS Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield has expressed himself, in a letter to Murray Hulbert, Commissioner of Docks, as in favor of the latter's plan for increasing efficiency in the use of the city's pier system, which he has put in the hands of the Sinking Fund Commission, the Mayor and the Controller. The plan is for Sound steamers and other light draft vessels plying between New York and New England to dock at piers on the East River, between 17th and 26th instead of at piers in the River. This will leave the North River free for the ocean shipping and relieve the congestion now existing in both rivers.

Secretary Redfield says in his letter that if this can be effected it will obviate about seven and one-half miles of useless navigation per day on the part of the Sound steamers. This useless nis through the most congested part of the harbor. From about it the Williamsburg Bridge to 30th st. there are rocky shoals, which prevent the use of the piers on the Manhattan side of the East River by ocean steamers, but the depth of water is g. eat enough for the accommodation of Sound steamers.

Smith will speak. The Woman Voter Historic Tammany Hall saw new doings last night when for the first time in its history women took part in a political rally with the right to a voice in the proceedings. They came, too, fully as strong as the men in numbers, and stronger in enthusiasm. A woman in a purple sailor hat cheered, shouted and whistled every time the name of Al Smith was mentioned. The ovation to the candidate drowned the band, the women making as much noise as the men.

Two women spoke, and could be heard, too, which was more than could be said of the chairman. Mrs. John Jerome Rooney and Miss Helen Todd were women honored with places on program and received generthe ous applause. Miss Todd took the house with her when she said "Boss rule is gone with the advent of an suttrage, for you can't boss a woman. You can't buy her vote, and if you ask her to vote the way her grandfather did she will laugh at you." A large delegation was expected from Brooklyn, but few were seen in the boxes.

In one box were Mrs. Bird S. Coler, wife of the candidate for State Controller; Mrs. Charlotte Littlefield, president of Downtown Democratic Club, and the Misses Mulcahy. The Democratic Women's Organization of the 23d A.

held a meeting filled with campaign excitement. First there was a mock election conducted by the leader, Mrs. Laura Mulcaire. After the election Miss Sarah Stephenson, the Borough Secretary, spoke in behalf of the judiciary candidates, particularly Judge Roy and Judge McDermott. This was the first women's organization to indorse Judge Roy, on April 18.

Judge McDermott. George W. Martin, candidate for Congress; Mrs. Mary E. Finney, Mrs.

Price. Max Herzfeld, candidate for Senate: P. Rosenberg. candidate for Assembly: Marshal Power and his brother, William Power, were present. The Women's Demcratic tion of the 22d Assembly District will hold a rally tonight at the club house, 179 Hendrix st.

Judge McDermott. candidate for County Judge; David J. O'Connell, candidate for Congress, and Charles J. Russell, candidate for State Senator, will speak. Miss Gertrude Vaughan, leader of the district, is holding classes voting, three election districts being called each night.

The Woman's McDermott Campaign Committee have sent out several hundred letters in behalf of Judge McDermott and are making a house to house canvass. The first open-air campaigning of the Republican women of the First Assembly District was undertaken last night, the first stop being at Elm place, corner of Fulton where the women held the attention of a quiet but apparently much interested The second stop, late in the evening, was on Court Remsen. The speakers were Dr. "Adele Cuinet, Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney, Mrs.

Talbot-1s Perkins and W. J. Dilthey, local candidate for Alderman. Appeals were made for the election of the Republican candidates for Governor, Congress, the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen. Thursday night the campaign will be resumed and will continue through the week.

Mrs. Charlotte Littlefield thinks that the women might be asked to take part in some of the campaign trips of the candidates. She said today: "Women would like more than just the privilege of voting. If the men want us to support the candidates they might extend a little courtesy and at least invite some of the women to sit on the platform. This is not exclusively a man's campaign as heretofore, and the women would like a share in it." At the meeting yesterday of the Women's Democratic League, which includes members from all boroughs, Mrs.

Crosby, the president, "damned with faint praise" the mention of Miss Helen Varick Boswell, who has been speaking for Whitman. She said: will not dwell on Miss Boswell. We have more interesting things to think of today," Miss Elizabeth Mar. bury said. "I object to the word party.

object to the word politics. I stand only for principle. We no longer care what kind of furs a woman wears. We care only for what kind of a woman wears the furs. To elect Al Smith We must get out and get the people who do not agree with us.

We are out for speed. We must let our knitting and everything else go and make the women's vote elect Al Smith for Governor." Inquiries have come to the Smith Committee: "Where is the Jefferson Building?" It is 4 and 5 Court between Fulton and Livingston opposite the Hall of Records. Headquarters for both the Democratic County Committee and the Kings County Wo. men's Smith Committee are located there. Miss May Patterson, chairman of the Smith Committee, will furnish tickets for the Smith meeting at the On Judge Robert H.

Roy's campaign committee, Miss Julia Grilli, a lawyer; Miss Sarah Stephenson, the borough sceretary, and Esther Arkowit, are on the executive committee. The advisory committee is made up of the twentyfour leaders of the Democratic women. At headquarters it was reported that Judge Roy was much better, but not yet able to enter the campaign field.
