 To thp utter amaZement of the pro fesstonal politicians. Hearst is treat ing the Democratic state committee with tho same contempt he is display ing toward the local Democratic boss es in New York city, To use a phrase of the street there is nothing doing at Democratic state headquarters. State Chairman Corners is in and out mostly out-and always ignorant as to what is going on. His informa i tion has to come from the state head quarters of the Independence league. a block further up Broadway.
 \ clerical force has not been em p!oyed by Mr. Corners and the other officers of the committee, because there is nothing for a force to do. l Hearst is insisting on managing his own campaign. with the Independence | league as the instrument in his hands. He fixes his speaking dates, and, pre- sumably, is meeting all the bills In word, everything except Hearst and the Independence league has been side-tracked.

 MT. Corners Of Buffalo. ! To get back to State Chairman Corners. As most persons probably know, he comes from Buffalo. where he manages a newspaper and is po- litical boss. As chairman of the Dem- ocratic state committee one would suppose he would have his way with the candidate for governor, but he is not having it by any means. No soon- CT had he come down here, as he thought, to manage the campaign, than Mr. Hearst ordered the Independence league to put candidates in the field in the county in which Buffalo is situated against the candidates announced by MT. Corners local machine. AS a re- suit of the treatment he has received, Corners is going about sort of dazed. "Oh, everything will be fixed up all right" he continues to say, but the Hearst people say it will be fixed the way their candidate wants it fixed. Hearst is pursuing the same plan pretty much all over the state swatting the local Democratic bosses and local Democratic machine right l ana lGIC, anu It uluSl DG oelld elio pSo7 ole are applauding the work.
 In the face of what Mir. Hearst is doing, the lGcal Republican manag- CTS uo-state. the county chairmen and Olne9 committee officers, are comlng down Il e to Republican headquart- CTS with distressing tales of the in roads Hearst is making. They have been here by the score the last two or three days. with their scare stories. i Committee headquarters are wonder ing whether the callers are playing for money. or whether the outlook is really as Lad as pictured. Theac em- i issai.ies from upstate make it plain that they are not greatly impressed with the 4new leaf" the Republican oreanizaiton Las turned over. They have been aecuat2med to handling large sums of maae% in campaigns, and when they are told ti1ere isn't any fer thom tais year. they look slum and shake their heads.
 The remarkable thiIlzss Hearst and his Independence lea@ue are doing their llgns in the faces of the local hos,se here in Greater New York, their treatment of Chairman Corners, of the Democratic committee and their breaking away from all political pre- cedents naturally give the candidate an immense amount of adVertising Perhaps that is what il is all done for At any rate Hearst is getting himeSlf talked about in every nook and corner in the state, and that helps some.
