Fitch has conjured from his brain an

NEW YORa Ang Is. It become
known yesterday that although defeat
ed 3in Westche ter, the Hearst forces
intends 70 carry their night 70 the
Democratic State contention at Butfa-
sla with the intention OF throwing out,
lif possible, the nine delegates from
the county elected for Jerome:
The Hearst men base the contest on
the claim that due notice OF the AS
,senbly District conventions in Mount
Vernon. Mount Kisco. and Peekskfll
was not given. but that ex-Mayor
walsh Of Yonkars and xTafayor Ftske
Of Mount Vernon, who have been run
ming the Jerome campaign, posted the
notices at the last minute so that they
would reach delegates not wanted at
the Assembly district conventions too
late for them to attend, 1t is also al.
legged that they inserted the calls for
the conventions only in the most OBJ
scure newspapers in the county, and
that they called the three conventions
on separate dates, SO that they could
attend each Of them in person and
whip the delegates into line
The contest in Westchester, 1t is
said, is IN line with a policy which
the Hearst managers will follow all
over the state where they have been
defeated for delegates. Contests will
be started, It is reported, and If they
are strong enough to capture the tenn
porary organization Of the convention
at Buffalo they will name a commit
tee on credentials which will proceed
to throw out Jerome delegates wher.
ever they can And an excuse for doing
so.
