MOVING THE MAYOR

~ TENNlVuN HpNtClCe -OCTUuuN hDVVCNAs
While william n. Hearst was speaking
. In Turnverein Hall at Lexington avenue
and Eighty-ffth street, last night a man
In the crowd shot this question at him.:
viii you remove McClellan2'
Mr.. Hearst pulled up short in his speech
and laughed. The audience quieted in
stantly waiting for his reply.
We'll, F." said Hearst. Il won't be In favor
OF extending his term.' The crowd cheered
the neat sidestep and let him continue his
speech.
Mr.. Hearst made three speeches in Man
haitian last night. a~utomobiling from his
home in Lexington avenue and Twenty
eighth street to Beethoven Hall in Fifth
street, then to Murray Hill Lyoeum n
winding up at the Turnverein Hall.
Good sized crowds greeted the candidate
at all Of the meetings and cheered his attacks
on the corporations, District Attorney
Jerome and the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Hearst practically repeated the speeches
he made at Syracuse and at Madison Square
Garden a few nights ago.
There was not a single woman in tho
crowd which met Mr.. Hearst at Beethoven
Hall. Floor MI galleries were packed
solidly with men. Capt. Steve McDermott
had fifty police TO handle the crowd and
they had their hands full protecting Mr..
Hearst from the Wild PUSHES Of hsndshakers.
Capt. Isolde, Hearts, b~o1yguard, stuck
to his employer and got roughly handled
by the mob.
Col. Alexander S. Bacon OF Brooklyn
presided at the Beethoven Hall meeting
and introduced Mr.. Hearst, Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chamber, Clarence }. Shearn and
the other Independence League speakers
who preceded Mr.. Hearst to the hall.
My friends" said Mr.. Hearst. Il rave
only time for a brief and informal talk
before I start on my trip up State. want
to read to you a couple OF editorials from
the Tribune. the recognized organ Of the
corporation party, and a statement from
THE SUN, the official representative Of the
plundarbund.
The TTibu ne says. In Mr.. Hughes we
have a candidate who stands for all that
Hear opposes and opposes all that Hearst
stands for! My friends. ! have done my

Ia voice They cannot do IL. My friends
] Ia We stated that I do not stand for social
ism or radicalisn or eXtremism Of any kind,
but simply Americanism. Does the cor-
poration attorney Of the corporation party
want to wipe out Of existence what is left
of the American system of government?
Speaking in Madison Square Garden l
said: Il believ in action rather than
only what they can perform and then posi-
lively perform what they have promised.
Cheers and applause.l I cannot imagine
anybody being opposed to that sentiment
except District Attorney Jerome
II has become a fad at Mr.. Hearst's meet
ings to boot and groan for several minutes
when Mr.. Jerome's name is mentioned,
and the crowd at Beethoven Hall kept up
the racket for three or four minutes. Voices
broke out Of the general noise. eXclaiminG,
Let him sleep. " The human lemon"
and Cigarette Willy"
Il believe in the impartial enforcement

"A railroad commission that did its duty
would compel the proper number OF cars
to be run. 1t certainly could prevent such
action as was taken by the Brooklyn Rapid

Applause and cheers.
Now, nv friends, can the candidate OF
any party honestly appealing for your
votes afford to stand for all the things that
we oppose, and oppose all the things that
we stand for? IA voice: Not on your life.

Il believe that the line in this campaign
has been closely drawn betw those who

stand for public rights. / have stated my
personal platform and then declared that |

your hands"
Mr.. Hearst made practically the same
speech at Murray Hill Lyceum and at the
Turnverein Hall. At no time last night
did he have a word to say about Mayor
Mcclellan except when he replied to the
questioner at Turnverein Hall, and his
attack upon Charles f. Hughes was a left
handed ore.
1t took Capt. Bill Hodgins and a big force
to handle the crowd at Turnverein Hall
and the job wasn't very we'll done at that
Before Mr.. Hearst could jump into his auto
mobile he was pushed and showed back
ward and forward. He grinned cheerfuTly
and took his medicine.
The candidate for Lieutenant-G Governor,
Mr.. Chanler, mad the round Of the three
halls.
Mr.. Hearst leaves on a special train this
morning for Fonda, where he will make a
speech this afternoon at the Montgomery
county fair.
