zee Mr. Hearst and tell him that the district
leaders never would stand for interference In the
nomination OF local candidates He reminded
Mr Hearst that the district leaders had been
rrornised over and over again that II they would
gei out and hustle and build up an organization
against Tarnmany they would be allowed 10 run
their districts the same the district leaders in
ramulAny Hall run theirs. The little fellows got
out and worked In 8 great majority of the dis

that Charles F. Murphy and William ]. Conners

with Mr., Hearst and that there was a change in
the plan 70 nominate candidates in all the dis
tricts. He ala not believe IT was true He went
70 Eln7ira TO the boss to learn Just what Mr.

and take orders from Max nmsen. Mr DTlscou
returned 10 town yesterday forenoon Yesterday
AT the Gilsey House he told the angry district
leaders that there would have to be changes in
the programme. He said Mr. HeaKst could not
see his way clear 10 break away from the regu
lar Democratic organization. and/that only where

would the league have any warrant to go on and
n0r1inRfR candidates

theT notice EhSn DriscoI first heard OF the

] may quote me saying that petitions
wat circulated for the nomination OF Inde-
y -,e League candidates just so long as good
n ready TO run" said Mr.. Driscon These
a. tiers that are controlled by the county
COZ Attee. Every candidate far nominated
b. the league win stick. There will be no with
drawals unless the men DO so voluntarily A
great many people want TO vote for candidates
Of the league. and they Will find their names
under the emblem Of our organization. In this
way Mr. Hearst viii get the benefit Of support
Of independent citizens. 1t is my opinion tha
that is the best thing TO be done in the interest
Of Mr. Hearst Under no circumstances will the
county committee withdraw its petitions"
Mr.. prtscon said all this before he learned
from Mr.. Ihnlsen that Mr.. Hearst was ready to
drop the petitions After he heard the news he
had nothing to say.

ablllty that Franklyn QLinby, who is running for
Congress IL the 9th District against Senator

our loca! candidates. just TO show US that we
