tiers have been besieged all day by citizens Of
all descriptions who insist that William r.
Hearst should be the nominee for Mayor on an
independent ticket Mr.. Hearst has been ac-
quainted with the great popular demand for his

seems to be that while he believes a strong
sentiment for municipal ownership exists he
is not convinced that there is the demand for
hts candidacy that was described to him I'm

in the field.
