last night, three in Manhattan and four in

mobile he rounded out his itinerary before
midnight, bat II he had attempted to appear
at all the places where he had been adj
vertised by the confusion squad at the
Gilsey House he won Id nave needed a flying
machine.
About the first thing Mr.. Hearst did
when he crossed over into Brooklyn was
to attack Senator McCsrren furiously in
the heart Of McCarren's own district, the
Fourteenth Assembly. Apparently Mr..
Hearst had not intended to roast McCarren,
and he went through his speech at Masonic
Hall, Havemeyer and Grand streets, Will
iamsburg, his first Brooklyn meeting, with
out mentioning McCarren's name.
While he was fighting his way through
an excited mob o n the way out Of the hall
somebody in the crowd yelled:
How do you expect Kings county Demo-
Gratis to support your
Mr.. Hearst broke away from tine squad
Of police which was hugging him toward
the doorway. and fought his way through
the crowd until he worked back to the plat
form. The audience had overlooked on to
the stage and there wasn't an inch Of stand
ing room left. Mr.. Hearst jumped upon
a table. threw his hat to one side. shook his
fist at the audience. most Of whom had
turned back and were watching him inter-
estedly, and shouted:
a gentleman asks me why ] expect the
Democracy OF Kings county to support me.

When Mr.. Hearst finished his unexpected
attack on Senator McCarren there was a
racket and roar in the Masonic Temple that
lasted for FIVE minutes. Excited men broke
out OF the mass of people and grabbed Mr..
Hearst bv the hand. There were cries all
over the hal! Of Good boy, Rilvl" That's

crowd which swarmed in front Of the theatre,
and policemen had hard work cutting a
lane for him to the doorway.
Mr.. Hearst said that he was very much
surprised to read in the morning newspaper
that Mr.. Hughes had given the credit OF
the eighty-cent gas law to Edwin b. Whitney.
AS a matter OF fact, said Mr.; Hearst,
~this ia a foolish little falsehood and would
not notice il at all IL it did not illustrate
a point that the people should understand
about corporation attorneys
] Mr.. Hearst aid that he had hired Mr..
| Whitney to assist Clarence j. Shearn at
| the beginning Of the fight, that Mr.. Whitney
appeared only twice, failed to accomplish
ANYTHING and got a etainer Of 81 500.
IF he exhibited public spirit said Mr..
Hearst, she exhibited just 1850 worth.

exhibited SIS 900 worth Of patriotism in the
insurance investigation.
I'm the fight that I made for an honest
count Mr.. Austen G. Fox appeared for the
people and l paid him 1880 out OF my

position might be misunderstood by, the

an enthusiastic welcome. He told the
audience that Mr.. Hughes whole cam

little LAWYERS bubbles. He attacked Mr..
Hughes as a corporation lawyer and then
said:
personalities, and II Mr.. Hughes VIII stop
telling lies about me l will stop telling the
truth about him. But I am like the man
in the Western poker game, who SAID: I

there is a one eyed man in this game who is
dealing from the bottom Of the deck, and
il he does il again I will shoot his other eye

The crowd applauded and somebody
yelled ~Our next President" MIR. Hearst
appealed to the audience on the question
on his own honesty and sincerity, saying: Il
wish you to believeand know you do believe
that the fights | nave made for the people
I nave not made for my preferment, but
