 New York, Oct. 18.-The most strat- ling development in the present politic- al campaign in this state came to-day, when Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, publicly charged that money had been demanded by repre- sentatives of the Independence league in consideration of the withdrawal of their candidates in certain districts, and when MT. Murphy was served with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury in a John Doe proceeding and tes- tify as to his charges. The subpoena was issued by District Attorney Jerome after a conference with Judge Otto Rosalsky, of the court of general ses- sions late in the day,
 In his statement Mir Murphy charg- ed that certain Independence league men had demanded money for the with drawal of their candidates in congress sional, senatorial and assembly dis tricts where a third ticket had been put In the field He added, however, that William R. Hearst, the Independ- ence league and democratic candidate for governor knew absolutely nothing of what was going OF in this connec- tion. The Independence league head quarters tonight made a positive de- nial of MT. Murphy's charges, adding that if any one connected with the or ganization had attempted to hold up" candidates they would be glad to know of it.
 The Independence league, which was promoted by w. R. Hearst, held its state convention at Carnegie hall in this city September ii, and named full state ticket, with MT. Hearst and Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler heading it as gov- ernor and lieutenant governor, respect ively. Subsequently the league named a complete judicial ticket for the First Judicial district, which comprises New York city and county.
 At Buffalo on September 26 the dem ocratic state convention nominated MT. Hearst and MT. Chanler for governor and lieutenant- governor respectively, and endorsed John H. Whalen for sec retary of state, who had also been named by the Independence league convention.
 MT. Hearsts campaign throughout the state has been made under the joint management of the democratic and the Independence league state committees.
 Ogdensburg, N. T., Oct. 1s.-The city of Ogdensburg tonight gave an enthu- siastic welcome to William Randolph Hearst, democratic and Independence league candidate for governor. The city has for several terms elected dem- ocratic city officials and the sympathy of the big crowd waiting at the depot when the Hearst train arrived, and which packed to suffocation the opera house where he spoke, was evident As the procession of carriages passed from the depot to the hall streets were lined with cheering people. So great was the crowd at the station that several women were roughly treated among them Mrs. George Hall, wife of the for- mer mayor and candidate for state comptroller on the democratic ticket in 1904. Mrs Hall was not badly hurt, and Mrs. Hearst accompanied her to her home.
 MT. Hearst was welcomed with con tinued cheering, while hundreds of American flags in the hands of the au- dience futtered in greeting.
