william Randolph Hearst was scheduled
10 apeak at sixteen meetings in various
parts OF Manhattan and The Bronx last
night. He spoke at seven OF them and ne
was a tired and sick mar when he got TO
bed early this morning.
Mr.. Hearst tried 20 escape from the big
meeting at Carnegie Hall and had gone
home to 20 to bed. The crowd there was
70 insistent, however. that he was called
10 the hall and obliged to speak It was
nearly midnight when he reached Carnegie
Hall.
Mr.. Hearst at the outset decided hat
axteen meetings were too many. He was
slated TO appear at Suffers Hall in West
Chester. He had a lot Of political friends

much TO the disappointment OF a crowd
that had gathered at that place.
Mr.. Hearst did appear at the second meet
ing. That was at the Crotona Casino, on
East le9th street. He was late in getting
there. but the crowd waited good-naturedly
for him.
The candidates speech here was a short
one. He didn't reach the hall until after
Q O'Clock, INC he told his audience hat he
had other meetings to attend. His voice
was had, and at times was 40 harsh that
his remarks were indistinguishable. His
speech at the Crotona Casino was simply
the one he had made on many occasions
before. He pitched into the trusts, said
harsh things about Pat McCarren and the
B. r. T. and promised to improve all bad
conditions when he was elected Governor.
He started out this speech with the predic-
& ton that he would be elected by a majority
OF 2O0, 900 votes.
Mr.. Hearst made this same prediction
at every one OF his meetings during the
remainder of the night. He didn't say
on what he based these figures, but his
associates said thatShe got it from the con-
ference he had had with the political folks
ut his home.
The reception at Crotona Casino was
enthus iastic, but it was not a large one.
Tb ere was plenty of room for more in the
place. Mr.. Hearst travelled to The Bronx
In an elevated train, Mrs. Hearst and several
friends accompanying him. An automo-
bile was waiting him there, and in It Mr..
= Hearst and his party whlrled down to
Huber's Casino at l62d street and jerome
avenue. There he was cheered by a crowd
of about 500 hat had gathered early and
were somewhat impatient. 1t was a hard
iobto keep the crowd for Mr.. Hearst. despite
the fact that the band continually doomed
sWe Won't Go Home Until Morning.
Mr.. Hearst told his audience that he was
sick. tired, and could speak only with diff
Guilty and that his remarks would be brief.
His speech was the same as he delivered
at Crotona Casino, only shorter. He was
greeted with considerable applause when he
said thai Tim Woodruff was a lobbylst,
that pat McCarren was a notorious briber
and that all the trusts we're lined up against
him.
automobile hot down Jerome avenue and
nobody knew just where he was headed
for. His next stopping place was TO have
been at the Harlem Casino. Before the auto
pulled away Mrs. Hearst told several re-
porters that he would next appear at Car
neRie Hall. The Hearst machine shot over
the Harlem River and down Seventh avenue.
II went past the Harlem Casino despite
the bowls of a crowd outside:
When the auto reached Fifty-ninth street
and Eighth avenue, Mr.. Hearst had a hurried
conference with his party and then decided
10 90 to Columbus Hall, on West Sixty
first street, where a negro mass meeting
had been arranged. A surprisingly small
crowd greeted Mr.. Hearst at Columbus
As the automobiles drew away from
+. Columbus Hall it was stated that Mr.. Hearst
would then go to Carnegie Hall, but he
didn't. Instead the Hearst auto went
through Ffty-ninth street to Fifth avenue
and down to Twenty-third street and then
down Broadway to Cooper Union, where a
crowd That packed the place was waiting
TO hear the candidate. This meeting was
held dnder the auspices Of the German
Democratic Club and it was a big one.
Mr.. Hearst spoke at considerable length
here. He made a big hit with the Germans
when he said that the heads OF the trusts
were not captains of industry, but cap
tain Kids Of industry"
The mention of McCarren brought forth
n boohs and ~catcalls. The same happened
when Mr.. Hearst mentioned August Bel
mont, Anthony n. Brady, Thomas p. Ryan
and Henry H. Rogers.
Il would not be ina politics at all, except
that I think we are confronted with a serious
emergency" Mr.. Hearst told the Germans
and thew howled. There were cries OF
HThree cheers for our next Governor,
and this seemed to please Mr.. Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst's voice was getting very
husky by the time of this meeting. Mrs:
Hearst, who remained in the automobile
and did not 60 into the meetings, begged
him as he came out of Cooper Union to go
home. So did Mr.. Hearst's doctor, who
has been treating his throat for three days
and who was one of the party in the Hearst
automobile. Mr.. Hearst promised TO do as
they said after he had spoke at the kalich
Theatre on the Bowery souInO anal stTeet.
Here the place was packed until hardly an
other soul could get in. II was with great
difficulty that the police managed to get
Mr.. Hearst TO the stage.
When the cheering had subsidized and Mr..
Hearst got q chance to make himself heard,
he started on with the 10000 majority
prediction.
While Mr.. Hearst was speaking Mrs.
Hearst sent for a coach and got into Il when
II arrived. She todd the driver OF the auto and
others that Mr.. Hearst was going straight
home. When Mr.. Hearst came out Of the
theatre he changed his mind. Mrs. Hearst
had to let the coach go and climb into the
auto.
Then NJ. Hearst said that he would
merely tour the East Side and pass by the
places where he had been scheduled to
speak. He did this in the case OF two meet
ings on Grand street, but at Rutgers Square
{ the mob swelled around his auto and called
on him for a speech. There was an open
air meeting in progress there. With Mrs.
Hearst tugging at his ARMAND begging him
not to speak, Mr. Hearst climbed out Of the
auto and up into the stand. He spoke for
about three minutes h police had a
