WILL TURN HEARST
OUT OF CONGRESS

NEW YORK. Aug. 1-Orders have
gone forth from Tammany Hall that
William Randolph Hearst shall be
turned down for denomination as mem
Der Of Congress from the Eleventh
district
Delegates 10 the Congressional district
convention will be elected at the pri-
maries TO be held on August so. AMI a
stiff fight is in prospect throughout the
Eleventh Congressional district. as Dir.
Hearst wants the renomina ton. and will
make a fight for what he believes 10
be his right for a second term.
He desires to retain his seat in the
House in order that he may further his
Presidential ambitions in 1903.
The reason for Charles F. Murphy
reported desire TO have Mr.. Hearst
turned down lies largely in the attitude
which has been assumed by the Hearst
newspapers in attacking Mr.. Murphy
and Mayor Mcclellan.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-08-01
Murphy Not Moved.

1he Hearst managers have represented
TO Mr.. Murphy that unless Mr.. Hearst
is nominated the Tammany leader will
have TO face the opposition of Mr..
Hearsts papers and interests. In re-
turn Mr.. Murphy IS said TO have It'd
these managers that he never had the
friendship Of Mr., Hearst and his news
papers. and that no opportunity has
been lost 10 attack the present as well
as the Croker regime IN Tammauv
Hall. and that even Mayor Mcclellan
mas come in for several unnecessary and
unjust criticisms.
Mr.. Hearst believes that he has an e,-
ceilent chance 10 win the nomination
even IN fight with Tammany Hall. and
already he is preparing 10 make such a
contest for delegates. Two years age
ne secured plurality Of 5000 votes
over Henry BhTell. the Republican can
didate, runniT ahead Of his ticket, and
he believes this showing Of strength will
help him in the present situation.
To Combine With Devery.
There IS some talk Of Hearst makine
a combination with William S. Devery
for the delegates from the Ninth Assem-.
bly, district. which forms part Of the
Eleventh Congress district. In such an
event Hearst would do everything in his
power 10 aid Devery In his fight for the
district Leadership against Frank J.
Goodwin. Hearst IN turn TO receive the
Congress district delegates in the even
Of Devery carrying the district against
the present Tammany leader.
Three other changes are scheduled to
take place in the Democratic Congress
slOnal delegation from Manhattan and
the Bronx. Congressman Ira Edgar Ri-
der IS slated for a rundown IN the
Fourteenth district. which takes in tn,
county Of Queens, besides territory OF
the upper east side Of Manhattan. ans

him. This is a strong Democratic dis
trict. Congressman Jacob Rupert, r.
the brewer, has made known his desire
to retire this fall. AS yet no selection
has been made to succeed him. uut there
has been some desultory talk Of nomi-
mating Police Commissioner McAdoC
for the place. While Commissioner Nc

believed that Mayor McCleilHn would

Wants to Can Twohey.

The judge desires that Assistant SUI
perintendent Twohey, who is out of the
city. be called as a witness. and that
William z. Dubant, whose testimony
Saturday night proved exceedingly dam
aging to Suffers defense, be called for
further examination by Judge Cole
Dubant, an inspector of alley cleaning,
swore that Stutler had ordered him 70
pay Rusk for work that was not done,
and that he told Stutler he would not
do II without a written order
Commissioner Macfarland told Judge
Cole that he had had one opportunity
TO cross-eXamine Dubant when he was
on the stand last Saturday. The judge
admitted this, but repeated his notice
that he would ask for permission to
have Dubant recalled as a witness. He
said also that it was but due 70 Stutler
that Twohey be called
II IS thought that TwOhey will be
brought on to testify that Stutler spe-
cifically ordered his inspectors not to
allow Rusk payment for work that was
not done.
Makes New Complications.
The application for the reopening Of
the case brings with il many complca-
lions. Judge Cole wishes TO start on a
vacation tonight. Mr.. Twohey is at pres
ent in the Adirondack Mountains. Com
missioner Vests vacation VIII begin
next Saturday. These three men are e.
sential to the further progress Of the
case If the decision IS made TO reopen e.
1t IS probable that the further progress
and the final decision of the case win be
delayed for some weeks, and perhaps
several months. as 1t will be necessary,
II is thought, to wait until the Vaca tons
are all ended and the principals in the
case return 70 town.
1t is acknowledged by all that the tes-
timony of Inspector William L. Dubaut
was damaging in the extreme to Slut
ler's case. He swore that Stutler had
told him TO pay Rusk for undOne work,
but that he. Dubant, had refused TO ac-
Quiesce in any such dealings.
