construction of a new conduit by th Board of Water Supply as an Indication of how the Tammany Hall power feel toward that body, on. member of which wa a personal appointment by Mayor Hylan while on. other member of th. commission of three was appointed by Hylan at the request of W. R.

Hearst. From another source It wa learned that Walker may abolish th Board of Water Supply altogether and combine It function with those of tjje Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, In view of the fact that th. work to which th. board owe its existence, namely, construction of the Catsklll water system, is virtually completed. Also, such a combination make for economy anpther of Walker' campaign pledges.

Ilylan's Enthusiasm Too Late. Mayor Hylan I supposed to hav. had an inkling of Mayor-elect Walker's alleged purpose in this matter when he suddenly appeared as an enthusiastic champion of th. construction of an additional water conduit for the benefit of th. Bronx, Queens and Brooklyna project which had lain dormant In the Board of Estimate calendar for a year without the Mayor paying the least attention to it.

In support of this proposed appropriation Hylan made a longer speech than h. ever made in the Board of any other Improvement no matter how urgent. L. I. R.

Although the city could get along with as little as 4 feet possibly only 2 or 8 feet this would mean an expensive Job If the Long Island was moved, or the moving of a number of graves In the cemetery property.

Either alternative also means a loss of time, because of the legal periods necessary to accomplish condemnation. Therefore either promises to delay actual operation over the new subway.

"The plans of the league are not yet formulated." said Mr. Wells, "and the situation has only been discussed Informally among business men. We will meet the later part of this wek and hope to get down to a tentative plan of procedure. There is no doubt In my mind that a decided change Is needed lathe Republican organization In the city.

"We aaw that organization functioning In the recent campaign. It is not worthy to be called an organ ization. It Is merely a flimsy structure which they call an organ-iration. It doesn't function at all, or at least only half-heartedly a few weeks before election. If the present Republican leaders cannot maintain an effective organization, run according to modern business methods, we ought to have a new Republican organiaztion In this city." "News to Mo," Says Lock wood) Former Senator Charles C.

Ijockwood. chairman of the Republican County Committee, declared today that he knew nothing of any movement to dethrone Livingston, or to ssk United States Senator W. Wadsworth Jr. to aid in reorganising the party In the city. "It Is all news to me," he said.

"I Vnow nothing whatever of the matter. If any one is getting up tl'. opposition they have not consulted with me about it." "The organization," said Mr. Well, "doea not function. It lscks real leaders.

It should and will he reorganized. This means that Livingston of Brooklyn and Samuel S. Koenig Of Manhattan must go snJ that men with the true ideals of the Republican party be put In their places." How that Is to he done. Mr. Wells, who lives at 1713 Peverly has not yet determined.

He will meet with members of the lesgue on Thursday to discuss ways and means. His committee will probably, he said, put the'tnatter up to United States Senator James W. Wads- worth the CS. O. I'.

State leader, and ask him what he Is going to ilo about It. What part. Senator Wadsworth wlU take. If any. in the local attempt at reorganization Is problematical.

PHIGESMERISIMG Tract of 1 11 Acres at Deep Hole Brings $85,000. Farmers Holding. By L. HOITON. (fitaff Correspondent ol The tingle.) Easthampton, Nov.

18 Typical of the "boom" activity in eastern Long Island real estate recently is the sale of 111 acres on "Deep Hole," Acabonac Creek, east of Springs. F.asthampton township, by a small syndlcato of local operators haded by Felix -Dominy, to W. ij, Codling of Northport, L. for Sixteen years ago tho property was bought up for $11,500 and threo or fivir weeks ago a New York operator made an offer of $75,000 for tne land. His offer was accented and a contract made.

A small binder was given and the sale was to go through, the contract calling for the completion of the financial arrange ments hy 2 oclock on the Saturday following. New York Man Falls in Conlract. In the meantime tho local syndi cate received an offer from Mr, Cool- llng for the land at a price 810.000 more than the contract. The local rfjroup did not know what to do. They wanted to get as much as possible for their property, but they had the contract to sell at $75,000.

So Codling was nut oft. and the syndicate waited anxiously for Sat urday. The day came and the New York man telephoned. He could not get to Easthampton, he was ill. "A contract is a contract," was the reply given the New York buyer by the spokesman of the syndicate; "if you nre not here by 2 o'clock the deal Is off!" Two o'clock came and the New York buyer failed to make an appearance.

Splendid! The Easthampton group called New York and got Mr. Codling on the telephone. raid $85,000 for Property. "Do you want that piece nf property, Deep Hole," they asked, "at "Yesl" "Well, come down and get it," they told him. "How long can I have?" he answered, "I cannot get down there until next week.

Will you hold the property for me?" "Yes, but only Just as long as you can hold your breath," came the ultimatum over the telephone, "If you want this property, come clown here right now!" Codling did. He took a motorcar and got to F.asthampton at 9:30 o'clock In the evening. Aild he paid $95,000 for the 111 acraa. To Develop flies. It is understood Mr.

who owns a large number of pieces near here, perhaps altogether several thousand acres, intends to develop the ueep Hole acreage. The won crty lies directly on some of tho best vnterfront on the Inland side about F.asthampton. Acabonac Creek and Acabonac Harbor Is deep water, nav- ignnie mr large yacnts, ana lies close to Montauk Point. Within the past two weeks considerable acreage In this particular sec tion nas cnanged hands. Tho Amagansett Coif Club bought up half dosen farms lying on the highway between Fireplace, Springs and Barnes Hole, and Amagansett, perhaps 200 seres, paying anywhere from J800 to an acre.

Farm Land Viider Option. The farm country lying to the north of the Montauk highway, from Easthampton lo Montauk Village is all cither under option, local oper-itors and real estate men affirm sold or the owners refuse to sell. Trice Soar. Property held for years at $100 and an acre running along the nenenrrnnt from Amagansett to Na peague Bench Is now selling at $1,000 an acre. Much of this land has been turned over from one to six times witnin two months.

E. E. Bartlett, another who has much lard in this vicinity, purchased 13 acres near the oceanfront at Amignnsett, within six weeks, for $30,000. Another larger parcel. acres within a half mile of the 13-acre piece and nearer to Easthampton, which C.

W. Rnnket sold at J50.000 several years ago to C. W. Leonard, was purchased hy Mr. Bartlett with in a few weeks at $1 10,000.

"What Will We Do With the Mono)?" Many of the farm owners about Easthampton are refusing to sell their properties and although offered big sums give a very novel explanation of why they do not wish to part with their land. "We have plenty, why should we sell, what will we do with the money?" frequently the answer is to an offer. "Our family has lived on this land for hundreds of years, we are not in need and we won't sell." A particularly choice property, a farm of 140 acres situated directly In the heart of the Easthampton summer colony, adjoining the Herlcr Estate on Oenrglca lane, cannot be bought from the owner for this reason: "I am comfortable, what'll I do with the money?" Many Refuse to Sell. This owner has been offered for his HO acres. He refuses to sell at any price.

There are many farmers who follow his example. But on the other hand there are many who do not. Many of tho out-of-town buyers, local real estate men report, are buying properties here direct from the farm owners and others. These buyers come here In motorcars and go about looking for choice pieces. Finding something to their liking these buyers will go to the farmer and start negotiations.

Those conveniences which the contractor installed are pretty handy things in their way but when one is set upon renting a room the world's championship for hardiness must be awarded to a stream of applicants. Mrs. LaRue got those applicants on the run, simply by describing the room briefly to an Eagle ad-taker. Setting tho ad in type, printing it, distributing it among Brooklyn's thousands, putting it into the exact hands of people who were looking for good rooms Mrs. LaRue didn't nave to think a thing about that.

READERS TAKE SIDES ON AUTHENTICITY OF NATHALIA'S POETRY Continued from Page 1. ess who has employed this Barnum-like method of bringing hia or her wares to the attention of a poetically indifferent world." Help From Reporter. In th. following letter John A. HefTernan of the Brooklyn Times staff tells how easy It la for a reporter to help out a poet In the manufacture of verses.

Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: "Having read Mr. Edwin Mark-ham'a fanciful description of the four young men and the two young ladies lingering over their wine and walnutg and writing flashing poems. In order that Miss Nathalla Crane. ge 11, might win undying fame, and collect uncountable royalties, I. desire to add another poet's luminous thought to the controversy over this young lady's genius.

"It doesn't touch particularly on the question of little Nathalla' ability to depict In melodic measure th. adventures of the Janitor's boy. but rather on the tin. flower of genius that blooms somewhere among th. brain centers of the poet who ascended the heights with "The Man With yie Hoe," and then, after falling over the cliff, proceeded to roll with great agility but small dignity for many a year thereafter in the daisy-decked fields of Asphodel.

One Line Puzzled Him. "Some years ago he lived in Brooklyn, so you see occasionally a poet does dwell In this community. At that time I was a poor but honest reporter on tha New York Herald, which newspaper had arranged with Mr. Mark ham to write an ode I think it was to the dawning Twentieth Century. I wa sent to get the ode.

He nktri mm it i approved of it. "I told him I thought it was very fine. Then he lamented the fact thst there was no second line, and he asked me If I thought that one which he recited was also fine. I ventured the criticism that it was rotten. Reporter Composed Line.

"So. with some sight assistance, he finally completed this great opus, and as I carried It back to the Herald office, and. reading It over, I had a suspicion which, despite my recollectione, 1 dismissed from my mind as unworthy, that, some other mind than that of Mr. Markham was responsible for about three-quarters of thut poem."

The following Is from Theda Kenyon of 1241 Dean "Nathalla Crane is either miracle or a hoax-." Which she Is mstters very little.

And what possible excuse 'grown tips' will be able to offer for the merciless exploiting of a little girl whose face betrays a sen- Bllivrne.l viucii itnrii no muyiii is also a matter of moment. Whether she is hoax or miracle, Nathalla Crane will never forget the humiliating withdrawal of honors claimed for her which she never sought.

She may not read news papers, to be sure: she, cannot escape two-men iieuuunes. "As a poet, may I say I can find nothing impossible in th poems i.tfrlbuted to Nathalla? Occasional phrases of rare beauty such as "the neons ran like rain" occur; occasional whole poems, like the "Janitor's Buy," satisfy in their completeness. Hut genius Is a strong word. Why Not "Hands "It takes more than natural ability to make genius. The one 'feature of her work difficult to accept In a child Is her apparent sophistication; and that may be the result of subconscious absorption of her elders' conversation, or of chance reading.

Her work Is certainly charming: and its charm lies In Its ease. If any of that survives this concerted effort to make her self-conscious and thut will be 'a miracle." "Certainly the entire episode indicates why so few "Infant prodigies" survive their teens. Why not 'hands off' for a while to give the ohild a chance to show what she can do? She is certainly 'promising'; and literature will suffer If those promises nre not fulfilled." RED CROSS TOTAL $13,344 D.

Stanley E. Gunnison, director of the Caledonian Hospital drive, today said that he expected, when all reports are In, the total 'amount of money raised for the hospital would approach $75,000.
