HEARST In HOT WATER
HIS COMMITTEE MEETS.
Unable to Decide Whether to Try
for Regular Endorsement

The Hearst auto at last has struck the long.
sharp tacks In the speedway. The state ex-
ecutive committee met yesterday afternoon. with
Mr.. Hearst presiding with the intention Of de-
Gliding on policy for the state convention. which
is 10 meet at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday noon.
1t was expected that the question either Of COM
bining with the regular Democrats or of naming
a full state ticket would be thrashed out. That
was what booked for discussion. The con-
ference resulted as before, with mental paralysis
all around.
The smooth sailing is over. and the serious
difficulties only family expected last spring
now real and growing bigger every minute
There is split i'm the executive committee.
with Mr. Hearst and Mr. PaIiser in favor Of a
straight full ticket. to be named on Wednesday,
and with Thomas GiIeran. John Ford and
others on the other side in favor OF nominating
Mr.. Hearst and adjOurning the convention until
after the regular Democratic State Convention,
thus giving the regulars chance to name vari-
Gus candidates. who afterward would be placed
on the Hearst ticket
Those I'm favor Of naming only half a ticket
on Tuesday and Wednesday and combining later
with the regulars are in the majority in the ex-
ecutive committee but they afraid that they
may have trouble with the election law The law
has provision that. they fear expressly pro-
hibits the committee on vacancies. either of the
Democratic state Convention or Of the Hearst

( The Cfilleran men insist a combination with

. for Governor and ex- Senator John Ford for At

/ on the ticket open. so that they could be filled
with the nominees of the regular state conven-

/ Those who incline to the view held by Mr
C;iIIar9r say that il is absolutely essential that

REGULARS 10 be sure that their vote would he

Hearst heads a third ticket he will have no pro-
lection on election night, and that there viii be
+ a repetition OF the maycralty election. when Mr.
Hearst as alleged by his friends. was counted
out
But Mir. Hearst is said 10 be against anything
. resembling an alliance with the regulars, be
t cause he fears that the radicals even i'm his own
convention will raise the cry Of Deal That IS
exactly what would he raised because il would

I'm Erie insist that this sort OF a deal be put
through They want Hearst named on Wednes-
day next. with the remainder of the ticket left
open. so that il will be easy for the regulars to
swallow it on September - Mack at least has
served notice that ne Vr not he for Hearst un-
less the editor gets the regular nomination.
