HOG ISLAND WORKERS HURT IN TRAIN CRASH Tampering With Switch Blamed for Collision in Which Five Are Injured DENY GERMAN PLOT HINT Investigation Follows Wreck Involving Crowded Passenger Train and Empty Freight Curs Five men were Mlghtlv Injured and sverat score others badly shaken up when the spe cial Pennsylvania Hallroad train to Hog Island ran over an open switch on the old Chester blanch of the Philadelphia and Heading Hallway shortly after 7 o'clock tills morning. The train, which consisted of Mxteen cars, crashed Into a number of empty freight cars standing on a siding and demolished two of them. The first two cars of the p.irrenger train wcio derailed and the engine badly damaged. More than 1S00 workmen emplojed In the construction of tho Government ship building plant at Hog Island, filled tho train. After the nc-cldent rumors spread that the accident waH the lesult nf a Ger man plotv In an effort tn hamper the, work of rushing tho new shipyard to completion. Charles: H. l'rban, 521." Green way avenue, englneman of tho train, and E. J. Conte. 633:i Media street, the fireman, declared that the switch was opened by a German spy or some other person with malicious In tent. "The switch was inspected ten mill utes before we reached it and found to be O. K" they said. Officials of both the Heading and the Pennsylvania Hallroads refused to discuss this possibility, but admitted that an In vestigation was being made by their re spective detective forces A. H. Mars, freight trainmaster of the Philadelphia and Heading Hallway, who supervised the work nf removing the wreck age, said he believed that the switch had been opened by several men who desired to board the train, notwithstanding the fact that there was no light on the switch and that a station of the Haltlmoie and Ohio Hallroad running trains to the same point was but a short distance away. Thn theory that German agents were re sponsible for tho nccldert gave rlso to a report that Frank L Gatbarlno, special agent of the Department ot Justice, was conducting an Investigation. Officials of both roads, however, denied they had asked the Federal authorities tn take charge. At the Department of Justice It was said that Garbnrlno was out nnd that nothing was known of any Investigation. Tho Injured men are: II. ADAMS, 73D South Thirteenth street, cuts and bruises.

The special Is tho first of three trains run tn Hog Island every day. ' It leaves Broad street and Washlpgton avenue at C-1G o'u'ock, proceeds over the Pennsylvania diverted over tho Heading tracks to Hog Island. The accident occurred 'at about Fifty third street. The special was running nt a twenty-flvc-mlle clip, which Is believed' t have been the reason that there were no fatalities. Had It been going faster, It was said. Its momentum, after striking tho empty cars, would have carried It over a twenty-foot embankment, several feet uway troni the siding. The force of the Impact derailed tho tender of the special, and buckled It undef the trucks of the first car. The first of the freight cars struck a coal car was thrown several feet In the air. It landed across all three other tracks, completely blocking alt traffic. The damaged engine and tho derailed cars were uncoupled, nnd the remainder of the section furnished with another engine, and diverted over the tracks of tho Phila delphia, Baltimore and Washington Hall road to Hog Island. A number of work men flagged a train on the Baltimore nnd Ohio Hallroad and reached work tn that manner. Believing that several persons had ben seriously hurt, emergency oalls were rent to all West Philadelphia hospitals and police stations, and a dozen umbulances and patrol wagons arrived at the sceno within a few minutes.

This action was to have been taken today, but tho postponement was decided upon for icasons not divulged. At thn same tlmn that the petition Is flhd in the election court steps will be taken to content tho entire election hi the Court of Quarter Sessions. In the event nf the contest being luled out nf the elec tion court, delay will be prevented by taking tho action stated. I'etltloni weie filed this afternoon by Hentv .1 Scott, coumcl for the Town Meet ing pnity. to open the ballot-boxes In fif teen divisions of eleven wards Srme of the divisions questioned are In Congressman Vare's Twenty -sixth Ward, Davo Lane's Twentieth, and the Twenty - second, tho stronghold of the Independents. Mr. Scott said tod iv he was confident of showing irregularities in these divisions which will warrant the opening of the ballot-boxes of every ward In Philadelphia. The otllclal count of thn first forty-three wards was completed this afternoon and shows the Ilepiibllcau candidates for How otllccs stilt leading. The vote follows: Kendrlrk 100,087 Armstrong BJ,:uil heehHli OSJOS Smith 0I.H7.1 Minper 0",t.3 Mrholson 01,3,17 Kendrlck Is leading In the first forty-three wards by S383 votes. In the fifteenth division of tho Korty-IUth Ward tho returns were In such n confused statn that Judgo Flnletter declared them un intelligible He ol'deieil that tho election officers of that division be sent for to make corrections nnd "present a r'espcctablo te turn to tb,n court " Announcement was made that the contest would bo so thorough and detailed that It might tako tho Judges u car to decide who really were elected. It was said authoritatively that the effect nf this would be to continue in otllcn the present city nnd county officials, whoso tetms expire thn first of the year, un til the contest has been decided ; lu a word, that IteglMer of Wll's Sheehan and City Treasurer MrConch would draw salaries for a year bejond their regular terms All this, however, depends upon whether or not the Court Issues certificates of election to the "fifty-fifty" candidates. Tho interesting point Is that a year's contest would tend to Incrensn the nnlmnxlty between the Penrose nnd Vare factions anil also might have tho effect of preventing a State-wldo factional fight for thn Repub lican gubernatnilal nomination. The argu ment In tho latter regard Is that If tho Vine men aio tn be "kept on tho jump" In court fighting the contest they might decide to stay out of tho Stato contest, piovided tho Penrose candidate for Governor wns agreeable to them, as, It Is said, Senator Sproul is agieeable. In any event, tho con test would suroly lay the foundation, It was said on all sides, for a bitter factional fight over tho mayoralty nomination two years hence. The Indication of the Increasing bitterness between the rival factlonn was seen in Sen ator Vare's. comment on the contest. He ta Id: "They are dying hard. There will be no contest worth talking about." M'GINKIS FUNERAL TOMORROW Only Democratic Member of Select Council Is Buried Funeral services fcr Thomas J. McOlnnls, who died nt St. Joseph's.
