ocratic candidate for City Controller, with.
drew from the ticket in letter TO the
Democratic Executive Committee. Iiirst Is
at present Controller, and was nominated
TO succeed himself. His private tinsncill
transactions with friend year ago
afforded room for charges OF forgery against
him, which have been widely published in
the present campaign. Hirst says in his
letter Of decinatiOn that although he has
denied the charges under oath. and exposed
the motives which Influenced their authors,
he feels that his usefulness a. candidate
has been severely impaired, and seeing that
the success Of the Democratic ticket, local

candidacy with which his party honored
him.
