william r. Hearst has had very little to
say since h!s defeat, and he did not talk
much yesterday. He showed a cheerful
front 10 callers who went 10 his home in
ALexington nv enue to congratulate him ION
making n good fight anyway" and put in
several hours reading teleSrlrns from oil
parts of tho State and all over the country
20 All out the same effect.
Despite Mr.. Hearst = silence certain things
concerning his attitude and his opinion Of
the election became definitely known. He
has refused TO follow Ihnsea'S loId cry Of
fraud" and root cry, and stands pat on
the statement he issued yestcrdsy morning..
which conceded defeat and was virtually

At 1 O'Clock yesterday morning Chairman,
fhmsen left the nournfnl ~heaiCuarters a.

and grafters that had haunted il for six
weeks had long zinc" fed. and drove to
Mr.. Hearst's house. crying robbers.

Of il was that tfr. Herr shut lhmsrn's

that he was ~irfrauded Of victory, and lis

but they were SQuslched.
x II was appC rent Y CsterAly that Mr.. Hearst
was intensely interested in the fate Of the
fusion ca ndidates that ran ia" ahead OF him
and stood q chance uf : IueclinE through.
He was Interested particularly an William
rs. Jackson. his candidate TO" Attorney
General. II Jackson wins out ono of the
first things that Mr.. Hears, will do is To rN-
new the fight for o recount of the ballo,,,
in the Maydrsltv election, through an april

Z ings. MIR. Jackson has declared on the
stump that Hearst was robbed and has
practically put himself on record that nc
would make an investigation il he was
elected.
1t was plain that Mr.. Hearst was dis
appointed somewhat. but on the whole
pleased with the showing he made up State.
The outcome in Greater New York was
nothing lees than a shock to him. He
made no statement about Tammany and
the knitting he got from Democrats, but it
was perfectly plain that Mr.. Hearst realized
that Tammany had slashed him viciously
and thoroughly, and thar he believed his
defeat was due principally to Tammany
and the organization in Kings county.
Undoubtedly reports had reached Mr..
Hearst that Tammany intended TO knife
him, but il is likely that they were regarded
as merely wild campaign 1lmors without
probable foundation.
IL was said yesterday by persons near
the defeated candidate that he was sorry
he had let himself be persuaded to accept
the Democratic Endorsement; that he re-
gfetted he had not lar the race as the
Independence League candidate alone. Tn
story was reported yesterday that Mr..
Hearst was overpersuaded by Ihmsen and
his like. who thought they would nave a
sure thing with Hearst az the Democratic
candidate.
There was another story around the
Gilsey House that lhmsen had al out played
out his string with Hearst and that Hearst
had become disgIsted with the utterly in
accurate reports furnished him by Ihusen
concerning the situation here and mp State
lp the course of the campaign. IL was said
also that Mr.. Hearst has finally tumbled 10
the real character Of the place hunters and
grafters who made a hotch and iumf lie of
his campaign and seldom had the nerve 10

anything.
Among Mr.. Hearst's callers yesterday

called on Mr.. Hearst also. Somebody con-
gratulated Chanler.
~Oh. damn all that!" said he. Il don't
5uare about myself since W. r. is beaten"
Mr.. Hearst was obviously amused at the
efforts of these callers to conceal a natural
exultation over their own success or chance
OF success in the face of o knockout blow for
the head Of the ticket.
Mr.. Hearst spent a quiet doy yesterday.

m reading them. He laughed and ioked
with callers. telling them that he guessed
= he woild survive anyway. Beneath the
quiet ainiability, which is characteristic of
the man, there was, however, every indica-
q ton Of deep and bitter DISAPPOINTMENT. He
confidently el'eved that he would ! - elected

Mr.. Hearst will remain here for a few
days and will then go 10 his country place in
California 20 rest. He will stay there until
Christmas probably, when he will return
' East for the Congress session. Atterward
he will go abroad with Mrs. Hearst.
