HEARST ON DEFENSIVE.
Denies That He Employs Chinese Labor
In California.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-William r
Hearst candidate for, Governor on the
independence League and Democratic
tickets. began his weeks campaigning
with four addresses in Manhattan to-
night. He dwelt at length. on the at
tacks made on him by the newspapers
of New York City, and denounced as
absolutely untrue most of the state
ments affecting himself as, candidate
and in his private, capacity.
In reply to a statement made in one
of the New York papers that he would
spend a million dollars in the campaign
Hearst said
That is an utter and complete false
hood. l guarantee not to contribute
more funds TO my own campaign. in
which I am personally interested, than
did to the campaign of Grover Cleve-
land and w. J. Bryan. in which was
merely interested as a Democrat.
Referring to the statement that he
employed Chinese labor on his ranch
in California, Hearst said:
1 have never employed Chinese labor
in all my life and do not own one
foot of ground in Palermo. Cal, either
directly or Indirectly, nor is Chinese
/ own or partly own in California or
in any other State of the Union
Continuing. Hearst said:
Various New York papers have pub
lished that have made compact with
the bosses in order to secure my nomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket. / had
no understanding with any boss before
the convention, or at the convention or
after the convention. / had at the
convention 213 delegates from up the
State. and outside of the city in which
/ lived, and the vote of this city was
given to me. or rather part of 1t was
given to me, because the Democratic
rank and file of this city. had decla red
for me, and the bosses did not dare
defy that declaration.
have made no private promise to
any individual or to any interest. and

HEARST IN A aUANDARY.
Must Soon Decide What He VIII Do
About Tammany.

NEW YORK Oct s.-W ]. Conners
the Hearst Murphy chairman OF the
Democratic State committee, came back
from Buffalo today and resumed his
activities in the Victoria Hoted head
quarters. Conners is disturbed by the
fact that w. R. Hearst and the other
Independence League candidates on the
Democratic State tickets, whose nomi-
nation was forced on the Buffalo con-
vention by Murphy. have ignored him.
When he first opened the Democratic
State headquarters. Conners went to
see Hearst and returned with the an
nouncement that the head OF the ticket
had promised to spend "at least an
hour every day" in the Victoria when
he was in the city. Hearst has not been
in the Victoria. He spends all OF his
time in the independence League head
quarters in the Gilsey House, and when
Corners wishes to see him it is nec-
essary for him to go to Hearst's house
Corners also, announced last week that
Hearst had promised to speak at the
Tammany ratification meeting tomor-
row night, but Hearst has planned to
be out of the city. Conners still hopes
Hearst will pay some attention to the
State committee, but he is less positive
about it than he was.
Hearst continued TO waver today be-
tween his desire to repudiate his deal
with Murphy and Tammany Hall and
his fear of the consequences If he
should do so.- While hey Facilitating
in the Independence League headquar-
ters in the Gilsey House. Murphy was
waiting grimly for his decision in Del
monico's or in Tammany Hall, and
Conners, in his capacity of go-between,
was pacing back and forth. The leaders
of the Independence League meantime
were busy selecting anti -Tammany
legislative candidates and getting out
their petitions for Independent nomi-
nations in the league column of the
ballot.
Tammany's judicial convention will
be held Wednesday night and every
body feels that Hearst must reach
decision at once. Even his followers
OF the league said the attempted strad-
die which was embodied in the state
ment issued by Hearst on Sunday night
was impossible. In that statement
Hearst undertook to settle the ques-
ton of the deal by announcing that
the league would indorse only good
Tammany candidates for the Legisla-
ture opposing the others, and by sug-
gesting that all parties get together
on judicial ticket and thus take the
judiciary out of politics" This effort
to compromise. which fairly represents
Hearsts uncertain state of mind, was
rejected by all concerned.

mitted that corporations were needful
and necessary and not bad things until
they did something wrong, wanted to
know If Mr.. Hearst's newspaper cor
poration paid proper taxes for the
rights it enjoys. He declared that
It did not. and went into what he
claimed was the history Of the cor

he claimed TO be true in regard to Mr..
Hearsts corporation was also true, he
said. Of many more, and he pledged
himself. If elected. to do all that lay
in his power to remedy such corporate
abuses.
That he and the party he repre-
sented were sincere, he said. had been
proved by the handling of the insur-
ance matters. 1t had been his good
fortune to have some part in that, and
ne and his party stood upon their
records, and Mr.. Hughes said he would
pledge himself TO see that the good
work was not abandoned If he was
