W. R. HEARST
is DEFIANT
Independent League 10 Name
Ticket in Kings County NC
Carren May Endorse Hughes.

NEW YORK, Oct. Ex-senator Nc
Carren acted promptly on the news
from Chatham that William Il. Hearst
would put a full ticket in the held
against the regular Democratic nomi-
in Kings county.
He mt once called Il special meeting
of the Kings county general committee
and, 1t is said, mt the meeting intro
duced a resolution formally indorsing
the candidacy of Charles L. Hughes.
TheIndependencele league Willn0mlnate
an Independent ticket in Kings county to
oppose that named by the Kings coun-
ty Democrats under the leadership OF
State Senator Patrick McCarren. This
announcement was made positively by
William r. Hearst in a statement in
which he declared that in placing an
Independent ticket in the field in
Brooklyn the Independence league be-
lieves that it is doing what is believed
to be best for the Interests of the citi-
ems of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Hearst's statement was called
forth by n report published to the eff
feet that Senator McCarren had sent
a letter to Mr.. Hearst protesting
against the reported intention of the
independence league to place a third
ticket in the field in Brooklyn and
threatening Mr.. Hearst with a plural
ity of $4,000 against him in Brooklyn
If the intention should be carried out.
'grhe question of whether Brooklyn
goes $4,000 one way or the other is for
the citizens of Brooklyn to decide and
not for Mr.. McCarren to decide" said
Mr.. Hearst. II have the utmost con-
sideration for the wishes of the clti-
zens of Brooklyn and none whatever
for the wishes of Mr.. McCarren. In
placing an Independent ticket in the
field in Brooklyn we are doing what
we believe to be for the best interests
of the citizens of Brooklyn. Mr.. Nc
Carren by calling himself a Democrat
does not make himself a Democrat. If
he should call himself an honest man
it would not make him an honest man.
If he should call his ticket Il good
ticket it would not make it a good
ticket. AS a matter of actual fact the
McCarren ticket is VIGOROUSLY unfit
and should not command the support of
honest Democrats or honest independ-
ents."
Mr.. McCarren, interviewed here, said
he had no reply to make to Mr..
Hearst's statement. Asked regarding
his communication to Mr.. Hearst, he
said:
II have sent no letter to Mr.. Hearst,
but | did send Il messenger to him
with instructions to inform him of the
probable. result in Kings county if he
should oppose the Democratic judi
ciary ticket in the Second judicial dis
trfct. l believe l did suggest that the
county would give Hughes about To-
600 majority In the event of his boiling
the Democratic ticket. l did not tell
him to use the words, You do this at
your peril l made no threats, but
merely stated Il few facts which l
Thought might interest Mr.. Hearst"
Mr.. McCarren added:
GAS to the probability of the general
committee voting to leave Hearst's
name off the head of the ticket, the
committee will have to decide that"
The senator was asked:
"Will the committee have presidents
for leaving off the name of the head Of
the state ticket?"
He replied:
MY answer to that is that there is
no precedent for the head of the ticket
boiling the party
Senator McCarren intimated that he
had not expected such a defiant decla-
ration from Mr.. Hearst and added that
he was not greatly surprised, however.
