Prominent Members of New York
Bar Attend Meeting for Clean and
Independent Bench, at Which
Hearst Is Scored for His Attack on
Tickct-Odds ON Hughes LenEtheas.

Is absolutely normal No side can show
any definite gain.
There is no district where there is
great falling off or q great increase
which would Indicate that either Mr..
Hearst or Mr.. Hughes was gaining or
losing. Election prophets have been wont
in former years 20 wait until after reg
istration to make any predictions. They
did the same thing this year. but they
are quite as much az sea now as they
were the day nominations were made.
The total registration In Greater New
York is 66l, 900. an army that is numer-
icaIly almost as great as ali the other
voters in the ffty-seven counties outside.
Last year the registration here was 3d.
600, and in 1894, a Presidential year, 1t
was 6SS, COO
Chairman Woodruff, of the Republican
State committee, said to-day that he was
entirely satisfied with the registration
He also felt confident that the entire Re
publican vote was registered and that
Tammany did not do much work in some
Of the districts
Landslide for Hughes.
Chairman Jacob Bremen, Of the Kings
sCounty Campaign committee. said to-
day that reports from all the Brooklyn
districts indicate a landslide for Hughes,
we have received most encouraging
news from every section Of Kings County
/ All of them without a single exception
indicate a surprisingly large-I might say

the fight of their lives for a ciean and
independent bench.

Point TO Hearst's Candidate.
Their ticket had been denounced by Mr.,
Hearsfs papers as a corporation ticket.
In reply the nominators point to the fact
that NJ Marley Piatzeke, one of the
candidates on the Hearst-Murphy ticket,
is counsel for the United Cigar Stores
that has driven 50 many small retail to-
/ bacco dealers out Of business He is also
attorney for the Merchants Realty Com
lpany. Another Of the HeaTst-MUrphy
nominees they criticise Is Judge Samuel
Seabury, who has been active in the hide
Ipendence politics. OF him they say:
Judge Seabury's pernicious political &C
tivity has been very marked Of late. and
was especially noticeable when he left the
bench for the purpose Of presiding over
convention and meetings in the interest
Of Hearst, and took part In the delibera-
tons Of the leagues executive commit
tee"
Hearst men were Indifferent to-day to
offers Of to ! and TO on Hughes,
At the latter odds SO 900 was offered with
mo takers. The only commissioner making
a proposition from the Hearst side offered
20 place a small amount at l 70 l.

state, and Incidentally with most OF their
leaders GLAD that he was not there, Tam
many Hall tonight ratified the action Of
the Democratic State convention in its
usual way with red fire. bands OF music
and much speech-making. The candidate
for lieutenant governor, Louis Stuyvesant
Chanler was the chief speaker, and was
fairly well received.
The TammaRy ratification meeting
blocked traffic on Fourteenth street in the
vicinity Of Tammany Hall for several
hours. and speeches lauding democracy
and paying faint tribute to Hearst and his
fellow candidates were made by Bourke
Cochran. Thomas +. Grady, Congressman
Goulden, GoldfOgle, Sulzer, and Harrison
and others.
At about the same time, Patrick McCar-
! ron H.
discreditcd political boss, was compelling
his Kings County Democratic committee
TO adopt resolutions ratifying the action
Of the Buffalo convention, but at the same
/. time imDressing on every member there

way
Meanwhile. Hughes. the Republican

half dozen speeches in New York City to-
night, in all Of which he referred tc

ing as proof his Star publishing company,
Which controls all Of his newspapers.
Hearst Replies to Hughes.
At Fulton and Oswego, Hearst replied
to Hughes, declaring that he had his
newspapers Incorporated for excellent
business reasons, and claiming that the
allegation that he tried TO evade re-
spOnsibility for the injury OF a woman
by a newspaper delivery wagon was
false, and that he had given the woman
in question 2,09D, as a salve for heI
wounds
The Brooklyn meeting was distinctly
a warm one, every member of the Kings
County Democratic committee being pres.
ent when McCarren took the floor. Nc
Carren started by introducing a resolu.
ton indOTSing the Buffalo convention Be
fore the resolution was acted upon Nc
Carren stepped on the stage, and amid
profound silence began a speech filled
with denunciatiOn of the candidate fol-
governor nominated by the Democrats
at Buffalo. Not once did the speaker al
lude to Hearst by name, but continually
referred to him as "the nominee of tho
Buffalo convention"
McCarren declared that Hearst WIS q
bolter. inasmuch as he had bolted the
Democratic judiciary ticket in the Second
judicial district.
