WASHINGTON, November 3. - The White Mouse has let it be known that the President will not* take a hand In any of next Tuesday's elections A number of municipal elections are to take place on tMt day and In several states minoFstate officers are to be chosen. For more than a week the executive office has been deluged with letters and telegrams from New York city, urging the Pnmident to take some stand on the mayoralty election in the metropolis The supporters of John Puiroy Mitchel have pointed out to him that there Is only cme real Issue in she campaten and that It is "Americanism.” Machine Democrats on the other hand have ngJr^nted to him that the election of the Tammany candidate John P. Hylan. would strengthen the Democratic party in the state and have insisted that the President should abstain from taking any step that might make the election of Hylan more difficult
