SPECIAL p1spArca TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Dr. Masnus
Gross has just returned from San Fran
cisco and has announced that he placed
the money collected by the New York
City Teachers Association in the hands
of a special committee Dr. Gross is
one of the best known school prinei-
pals in this city and is the president of
the teachers association, which raised
$4,000 for the relief OF instructors in
California who might be out of en-
pioyment on account of the recent dis
aSter.
"It was intended by the teachers Of
New York City" said DR.. Gross, that
the fund should be devoted to giving
temporary aid TO members of our pro-
fession. 1t was my intention on arriv-
ing to give the money through the
channels which had already been des-
ignated, but from my own observations
and from consultations which I had
with some of the leading men of San
Francisco 1 was convinced that bet
ter way could be devised.
II do not know that any definite
charges have been made against the
way in which the balance of the relief
fund. which. l understand. is s6.000.000.
is to be distributed. but there Is much
criticism. Now that the days of actual
peril are over, there Is a tendency for
the politicians to step in and manage
affairs. The people feel that even the
Red Cross has not kept UP to its usual
standards as far as the methods OF
work are concerned.
"Dr. Devine is soon to be relieved.
and the whole management of the fund
will devolve on a committee which will
be dominated largely by political inf1u-
ence. The general Impression now is
that Mayor Schmitz must yield TO the
influence of the friends who elected
him."

HEARST CANNOT SUE

New York's Attorney General
Denies His Application to
Institute Action.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

ALBANY. N. Y. July 16.-Attorney
General Julius NJ. Mayer has denied the
application of William r. Hearst for
leave to institute an action to test the
title of Mayor George B. Mcclellan to
his office
Mayer filed long memorandum with
his decision, in which ne declares that
although eight months have elapsed
since the election and the Hearst at
torneys have had ample time to dis
cover facts tending to show that the
applicant was elected they have failed
to demonstrate it. although for -pur-
poses of consideration the claim of fact
which they have made has been fully
allowed.
Perhaps the most striking statement
of the Attorney General in dismissing
the case is that, allowing every claim
of wrongful counting of ballots, repeat
ing and intimidation and including
every district in which 1t is claimed
errors were made under circumstances
not amounting to indictable miscon-
duct, the utmost number Of votes called
into question by the Hearst attorneys

ernor Odel1 has promised not to be a
candidate for reelection. to the chair
manship of the Republican State COM
nittee when that body meets to re-
organize at the Republican State con-
vention. This. fact became known yes
terday during a discussion among Re-
publican leaders, who gathered at Man
haitian Beach in answer to invitations
from Senator Platt to- participate in
his birthday celebration and, incidental
ly. to make plans for gaining control of
the party machinery in New York State.
Senator Platt was very much pleased
with the response to his invitation. He
was surrounded by his political hench-
men all day.
1t has been several years since SEN
ator Platt has presided over so large
a Sunday school, as the one that as
sembled yesterday There was no gen.
eral discussion of a formal character.
The leaders chatted with Senator Platt
and quietly compared notes.
While the wisdom of Odells retire
ment from the craftsmanship of the
State committee was commended on all
sides, discussion of his successor was
deferred by common consent. Timothy
L. Woodruff would like the place, and
it may be offered to him to bring him
into line with the combination.
All the anti-Higgins leaders who
were present confirmed the announce
ryent made yesterday that Lieutenant
Governor NJ Linn Bruce had been Sc
lected as the Higgins candidate for
Governor.
When Platt's attention was called
to the fact that the Tioga Democrats
had indorsed the candidacy of William
r. Hearst for Governor, he smiled and
