Captain Hacker Declares Mili

Candidate in Race
f . (
Preemption papers for a new party
to be led in tlic mayoralty campaign by I
Joseph S. MacLnughlin, director ot
supplies, will be filed caily next week, i
according to an announcement made
this morning by .1. Fred JenKinsou,
campaign manager for the director and
secretary of the MaeLaugblin campaign I
toramlttee.
A full city and county ticket, headed
by the director for Major and made up
nt "strong independents," said Mr.
Jcnkinson, will be placed in the field
for the November election.
In this connection a significant an
nouncement to the effect that a "sol
dier candidate" for Mayor would be
brought ou for the coming campaign
was made by Captain Homer II. Hacker, I
of South Philadelphia, who was chair- '
man of the service men's committee sup
porting Judgo Patterson against Con
gressman Moore.
Original Moore Man
Meanwhile, Vare leaders, particularly
David II. Lane, the sage of the Or
ganization, were conceding the nomina
tion of Congressman Moore as the Rc
publican candidate for Mayor over
Jpdge, Patterson, and promising' him
their support against any other candi
date who may enter the fieldv
Lane, whose literary gems were a
feature of the Moore-Patterson fight,
came right out and said he was an
"original Moore man," and that
"Hampy would make a darned good
'Mayor." Only the Vnic brothers re
served final approval of the primaries.
They said thej would wait for the of
ficial count. .
Official Count Under Way
The .official count, began this morning
before Judges Audenried and Ferguson
SSl In Councils' finiince committee room on
I the fourth floor ot City Hall.
Jtalns, Kuperintendcnt of elections, who
was assisted by a corps of approxi
mately forty clerks The two judges
-supervised the action.
The rcsultK on the various divisional
tally sheets were called opt and placed
on record as the official count. Xo ef
forts to have ballot-boxes opened has
been made as yet, but some such action
is 'expected from James Uny Gordon,
representing Keprcsentativc ' Moore,"
during the day.
Under the Daix-Brady election bill
.any three qualified electors from vnuy
.one division may have the ballot-boxes
from any other division opened upon
petition to the judges of election.
Leopold C. Glass nnd J.' I.ee Patton,
attorneys of the Republican city com
mittee, represented the regular Repub
licans at the count.
Congressman M'oore's plurality of
i:i54, given in the police returns late
yesterday afternoon, was increased to
1701 in revised police returns today.
Director MacLaughlln ridiculed the
report'that he was in lino for reap
pointment under the Moore administra
tion. "I would not dignify such n rumor
with a denial." said the director, "were
If not for tho fact that St is so ap
parently a design on the part of the
bosses to. discourage the people of inde
pendent thought from taking any fur
ther interest and action toward the
complete overthrow of bossism."
, MacLausliliu May Resign
- Mr, Jcnkinson'A announcement of the
plans for the new party arrd the full
ticket was made, following a series of
conferences with the director. Jenkin
son said that the law prohibits politi
cal activity on the part of city officials
nnd that, therefore, the director would
take up- tho question of handing in his
resignation next week so as to bo free
to devote himself to the campaign.
The Marl.aughlin ticket, said Jenkin -son,
will be made up so as' to attract
real independents. "It will be the fights
of lt)0. and mil against bosses all over
again," he said. "c will appeal to the
Chamber ot Commerce, which is ad
vertising the city, to help us to free
the city of the worst advertisement,
' -which is that .we arc bossed."
Jcnkinson branded the report as to
the director a being considered for a
cabinet post in the Moore ndmimstra-
U as "nonsense." Mr. Moore him
selflsin an interview at Island Heights,
said no one bad been considered for ap-
"' pointments.
', Jcnkinson said that all the signatures
have been obtained which nro required
jjjj for 'the filing nf pre-emption papers for

More Free Points, Company's Tlea
When the Stoteshury-Mltten man
agement assumed control of the Rapid
Transit Cnmpauy in 1010 there were
ninety-two separate trolley routes in
this city.
These routes were legacies of the
companies which operated hero before
all were consolidated iu the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company.
Muny of tlie lines were competitive
and for seeral jears pust. the transit
company has been engaged iu rerouting
the lines to eliminate what was regarded
as wasteful and unnecessary com
petition. Tlie ninety-two routes have bceu re
duced lo seventy -six and the iilO free
transfer points existing iu 1010 have
been iucreased to .'!-0. In 1010 there
were Co." three-cent exchange points.
That number has been cut to ."SO.
When the transit company last March
made public what was known as Us
eight-year lepoi I, covering the period
from 1011 to 101 s. it was shown that
i.ii-i, ii wia siiowii mat

' NEUTRAL ON MAYORALTY
. .
Chamber of Commerce Won't In
dorse Any Candidate, Says Trigg
The Philadelphia Chamber of Com
merce will take no factional part in
the mayoralty fight. This was an
nounced today by the president of thai
body, nrnest T. Trigg.
He said it was not likely, in his opin
ion, that he chamber would indorse
any one by name for Major.
"'The Chamber of Commerce," said
Mr. Trigg, "has been active in a general
way in the interest of rleun politics and
an efficient city government for Phila
delphia. This activity goes back to the
time when the chamber issued Its first
referendum on the qualities to be de
sired in the city's next Mayor.
"The chamber's activity Iiob been of
a general nature, however, and has not
leaned toward nnv faction in politics.
