' At the Emylre theatre an audience which tacked the place to the doors and which gate to Mayor, Lane such an ovation as la seldom accorded to a political candidate attested his strength with the voters. At the Ar mory, where Devlin's final rally was held, the Attendance was scaroely two thirds of. that at the Empire, despite the utmost efforts of the machine to drum up a big crowd, and fully one half the seats, were, vacant t ,:. . ' The two . meetings were .but ' an ex-. - preelon of the tremendous movement , in favor" of Lane which lias, been galn . ing in volume and Intensity with each day of the campaign. All over the city lM'gLfljeetlng'..have been crowded to the doors,, while -Devlin haa been con fronted repeatedly with only half filled . halls. This baa been especially rtrue on the .east side, where all indications point to. a decisive majority .for Lane. At both-of last nights meetings were on the west side, where Devlin is sup posed to be Strongest. . the. relative slse of the. two gatherings was. the more aignlflcant Devlin's managers had been working for a. wee past 10 insure a large attendance and every block worker 1 and every ward heeler in the employ of the machine was, Ort hand to sweU the audience.

Robert Andrews, candidate for council man at large: George F. Smith for auditor, Mayor Xane and Judge Pipes, all made strong speeches. R. L.

Anarews turned to the story of. his acceptance of the nomination ana saia mai u naa been urged upon, him, by as many Re publicans as Democrats. He told how City "c Auditor Devlin had jobbed ; him In putting his name fourth on the bal lot list when It should have been first and how ' the auditor ; haa rerusea to make reparation when he had been asked to do so, k. :; ":' At the conclusion of Mr. Andrews' short address George I. Bmlth was In troduced as - the Democratio candidate for city auditor.-"' His speech was brief. He stated that he desired to go to the auditor's office because he thought he could be of use to-the people there. He promised in conclusion that should he be elected he would so conduct the office that at . the : end of his term there would be vouchers to ahow for every" cent that had (been expended by the city through the office. . Those who went to the armory meet ing expecting to hear at last some an swer to. the charge that Devlin is 'the candidate of the corporations, ths sa loons and the special interests, and some statement of the ; sources of the Immense campaign fund raised to eleot him mayor, were disappointed. ' The ap peals for votes for Devlin were chiefly based on the plea that Republicans must vote for the party nominee, and the embarrassing question which have been fired at him by Lane's campaign committee were practically ignored. Governor Chamberlain was the prin cipal speaker at tha Lane meeting In the Empire , thaatre and his Jiearty in dorsement of the . mayor's administra tion f evoked . ringing applause, ,r which grew In volume when the mayor him self addressed the big audience. Like the great mass meeting which marked the opening of the Lane campaign, the gathering last - night was notable for the large number of Republicans in at tendance. ,. ....
