HEARST PILL TOO BITTER
WESTCHESTER REVOLTS.
Fe1o Machine Democrats Only Ones
Not for Hughes.

MOI IOT HuSHeS.
| Revolt against the nomination of W. r. Hearst
is general and far reaching in Westchester
County, and present indications that he will
do we'll to poll 30 per cent of the Democratic
vote. Only Democrats like NJ ]. Walsh state
committeeman, of Yonkers; ex-Mayor Edwin
! w. Fiske, of Mount Vernon, and ex-Mayor NJ.
]. Dillon. of New Rochelle, who are closely
identified with the running of the Democratic
machine, out for Hearst Walsh and F1ske
are not shouting very loudly, because they hold
appointments under Mayor Mcclellan the
/ New York City watershed and realize that their
heads likely to off.
Other prominent Democrats, like Frederick H.
Allen chairman OF the county committee; ex-
Representative John Q. Underh of New Ro-
chelle; ex-Representative Cornelius Pugsey. of
Peekskill, and Daniel Warren, Of Mamaroneck,
while they not putting themselves on record.
are dismayed over the nomination and will prob
ably take no part in the campaign far the
office of Governor is concerned. The revolt
against Hearst in Westchester County, 1t is said,
will be led by John G. Agar, Of New Rochelle.
who has been prominently mentioned for one Of
the Democratic nominations for Supreme Court
justice in the Hudson River district
In speaking of the nomination yesterday Mr.
Agar said:
I unalterabIy opposed to Mr.. Hearst and
will do all can to elect Mr.. Hughes and stamp
out riot AS soon as possible intend to resign
from the Democratic City Committee of New
Rochelle, that 1 will be free to take the
stump against Hearst. Most people whom 1
meet are opposed TO Hearst but that don't mean
that he will not have large vote 1 believe
that the Democrats who are opposed to his
election should organize and get TO work at
once. Never will they have a better chance
to put their foot on the neck of bossism and
anarchy as they are coupled together in the
nomination of Hearst.
DEMOCRATIC Ex-POsTMAsTER BOLTS
Clarence S. Mcclellan. former Democratic
postmaster of Mount Vernon, said:
I shall vote for Mr.. Hughes, unless better
man is yet named.
George r. Crawford, secretary Of the West
chester Fire Insurance Company. who is lead
ing Democrat Of Mount Vernon. has bolted the
ticket with this itatement:
consider the honor of the State of New York
at stake, and I do not see how any sane man
can support the ticket named at Buffalo. No
language at my command is adequate TO
press my feelings regarding Mr.. Hearst and his
( hackers.
George o. Beach, another boiling Mount Yer
non Democrat, said:
I shall vote for Mr.. Hughes and all of his
/ colleagues on the Republican state ticket. To
my mind there is no essential political principle
involved in this contest should the ques-
ton of regularity influence any honest Demo-
I
and moral sentiment. The man whose illeglti-
mate use of money brought about the scandal
! Gus action Of the so-calIed Democratic conVeh-
tiOn is a shallow but dangerous demagogue VINO
plays the depravty and passion OF his readers
/ for notoriety.
! Frederick H. Allen, chairman of the West
! chester Democratic committee, said he had been
! i'll and had not been able TO give much attention
to what was going in politics.
DO YOU expect 10 cast your vote for Mr..
Hearst?" he asked.
We'll have nothing to say at present" was
the reply.
Ex-Representative A. Pugsley said:
have been away and have not had time 70
/ think the nomination over but should think II
would cause a alignment Of the political
factions.
MOVE TO NOMINATE PUGSLEY.
There has been a movement among the West
chester Democrats to nominate Mr. Pugsey for
! Congress Representative Underhill said he
had not voted for six years, and he did not ex-
pect to put himself out 70 do any work in the
present campaign. In 1898 and 1900 Mr.. Under
hill voted against Bryan.
Ex-Rerresentatve William Ryan is abroad,
but his friends IN Portchester say he will never
vote for Hearst because he did not even vote for
BRYAN in 1896 and 1900.
Daniel Warren, the village president Of Ma
: maroneck attended the convention at Buffalo,
and was one of the two Westchester delegates
who stood out against the nomination of Hearst.
He said to-day that Hearst was not the choice
| Of the Westchester delegation by any means,
and that the vote of the county only cast
for him after it was found that he would be
noninted anyway.
"Do you expect to support Mr. Hearst?" he
was asked.
Il was anti-Hearst before the nomination." he
renlied but | don't TO say what will do
now"
The only prominent Democrats of the county
whom the Tribune reporter could find openly
fayoring the election of Mr.. Hearst were State
Committeeman Walsh, ox-Mayor Fiske ex-
MAYOR Dillon. James J. Shaw. Of White Plains
and stephen Van Tasse of Mount Vernon

Democratic organization oc Westcheeter viii
