HEARST BETRAYS
LABOR'S CAUSE
None OF Its Candidates APP
pears On The Ballot.
This Latest Proof of His Iusincerity
and Double Dealing Will BE
Costly 20 Him
DEVELOPMENTS Or CAMPAIGN.

New York, Oct. 25.-Hearst has
paid the price of the Tammany in
dorsement by which he secured the
Democratic nomination for governor
of New York. In doing so he has
sold out the labor element and the
real believers in the Independence
League movement.
This much of the greatly mixed
New York political situation was
cleared up yesterday when Thomas F.
Smith, secretary of Tammany Hall,
in the presence of Boss Murphy, and
with his sanction. declared that in
the contests before the election
board the law committee Of Tam
many Hall and the Hearst managers
had all along worked together in sym
pathy. Secretary Smith voiced the
satisfaction of Mr.. Murphy and the
other members of the executive COM
mittee of Tammany Hall when he re-
ported that Tammany had been sue
cessful all along the line in getting
the petitions of its candidates for
places on the official ballot under the
symbol Of the Independence League,
and had succeeded in knocking out
practically all the petitions Of the la
Dor candidate and other deluded
followers of Editor Hearst.
So Tammany is to be with Hearst.
and everybody is to take up the cry
of Boss Murphy that the Independ
ence League leader must be elected,
Labor Given Double.
The labor men have all along said
they were being given the double
cross" by Hearst, and they can no
longer doubt IL. Few of the twenty
seven labor candidates for the assem-
bly, and congress will get on the Off
cial ballot. Their only recourse now
is to the higher courts.
1t is claimed today that this latest
proof of Hearst's insincerity and
double dealing will cost him large
part of the labor vote of Manhattan
and that the detection will reach into
the other towns of Greater New
York. 1t will nulify much of the
effective campaigning that he has
done in the factory and mill towns up
the state. Whether the leaders OF
Tammany can deliver their votes to
counterfeit the storm that will be-
raised against Hearst by the deluded
labor men remains to be seen.
Hearst-NIurphy Fake Fight.
II has been a subject of great won
der why Boss Murphy so complacent-
ly accepted the abuse that Hearst has
been heaping upon him from the
stump, and allowing to go unchal-
lenged the statement that there never
had been nor would there be an un-
Outstanding with Murphy or any other
boss. This was all cleared up today.
Murphy and the Hearst managers
have been feeding the New York pub
lie with a lot of fake" fighting. and
until yesterday it had been for the
most part taken at its face value.
District Attorney Jerome swallowed
COB of it when Murphy put out his
talk about the Independence League
candidate trying "to shake downs the
lammany nominees. started a grand
jury investigation Hearst undonbt-
eddy will have lot of explanations
for what happened today before the
election board but il is generally be-
lieved he will ignore it as he has done
his tax lodging Star holding COM
pany, under which he manages his
newspaper properties.
The effect OF this last development
Will also extend to the voters who
stood by Hearst in his mayoralty
campaign. when he was an out and
out opponent of the bosses. He has
already lost large share of this sup
port because of his deal with Murphy ,
but has managed TO hold a consider
able part Of II by his pretended split
with Tammany Hall
