New York. Nov William r. Hearst
has had very little to say since his de-.
feat. He showed cheerful front to
callers who went 10 his home on Lexing-
ton avenue TO congratulate him "on max
ing q good night, anyway" and put IN
several hours reading telegTams TO the
same effect
Despite Mr.. Hearst's silence, certain
things concerning his attitude and his
opinion OF the election became definitely
known He has refused to follow his
leaders loud CRY of Fraud and Rob
bery!' and stands on the statement ne
issued this morning. which conceded de
feat and which was virtually a promise 10

At I o'cIock this morning Chairman
5hmsen left The mournful headquarters
AT the Gisey House. from which tre rif-
raT ana g-afters who had haunted il six
weeks had long since He'd. and drove to
Mr. HeaTsts house

Chicago newspaper. Clarence J. Shearn,
Arthur Brisbane. and several other Hearst
Iieutenants got there about the same
time What took place was not made
public. but the result was that Mir.
Hearst shut their mouths and there was
10 more squealing.

It was apparent to-day that Mr.. Hearst
was intensely interested in the fate OF
the fusion candidates, who ran far ahead
of him and stood good chance of

will renew the hght Tor a recount OF the
ballots in the mayoraIty election through
an application to the attorney. general for
permission TO obtain quo warranto pro

the stump that Hearst was robbed and
put himself on record that he viii take
up action for a recount If elected.
Auaiysing The result. 1t was plain that
Mr. Hearst was disappointed somewhat,
but on the whole pleased with the show

in Greater New York was nothing less
than a surprise TO him. de made 10
statement about Tamm3ny and the knit
ing be got from the organization. but &c
was perfectly plain that N-r. Hearst real
ized that Tammany had sl3shcd him VI
ciO1sly and thoroughly, and that he be-
lieved his defeat was due principally to
Fammany and the organization IN Kings
County.
Il was said to-day by. persons near the
defeated candidate that he was sorry ne
had let himself be persuaded to accept
the Democratic Endorsement; that ne re-
GTetted he had not made the race as the
Independence League candidate alone.
The story was repeated to-day that Mr..
Hearst was overpeTsuaded by men who
thought they would have a "sure thing
with Hearst as the Democratic candidate.
There WAS another story. around the
CiISey House that Hearst had become
dIsgusted with the utterly inaccurate re-
ports furnished him concerning the sit
uation here and upstate during the cam
paign- II was said also that Nh. Hearst
has finally tumt.ed 10 the realization that
