HEARST REVOLT GROWS
4uGny Other Democrats Join IN
Mayors Protest.

The revolt against the Murphy Hearst COM
bination which nominated Mr. Hearst for Gov
ernor after throwing out honestly elected dele
gates continues with unabated force
Mayor Mcclellan Controller Metz Joseph g
Mulroney. the former chairman of Hearst's aIu-
nicipal Ownership League. Mayor Mcclellan. in
Buffalo. on the morning following the conven-
tion said he would accept the action Of the
state convention. Many people wondered at the
time if he would go 10 the extreme OF self
effacement by voting for the man VINO, If elected
Governor will remove him from Office. Yestsr-
day he came out in a formal statement saying
he would vote for the nominees on the Demo-
cratic state ticket with the exception OF Mr..
Hearst. The Mayors statement follows:
AS I said yesterday. 1 am Democrat. and ac-
cept the action of the Democratic convention 7
Bt But as Rs bsmoSTat and % as Mayor q
am Inaitera6y opposed & 10 Psnda Taa5es Tor D. MURPHY
1 recognize the humiliation that I must endnrsS
! viii vote. the ticket q my party N this state
but never for William r. Hearst Him VIII noe
vote for.
Mr.. Hearst was quoted saying. when the
Mayors statement was shown him:
II Mayor Mcclellan attached as much Importance
to the votes Of others as he does to his own par
tcular vote. ne would not now be occupying the
I consider Mayor McCIelan's opposition an honor
which I shall always endeavor TO preserve.
II is understood on the best authority that the
Mayor will vote for Hughes. but aside from the
office of Governor. and possibly that of Lieuten-
ant Governor. he will vote the entire Demo
cratic ticket. Mayor Mcclellan will keep his
hands of the election fight far publicly
influencing any regarding his vote and will
not come out in the open IN fight agarusr
Murphy or the Sullivans during the campaign.
This will be done so that in Of Hearst's
defeat no one could say that the Mayors action
had accomplished it,
MAYOR PROPHESIES DEFEAT.
The Mayor IT is understood believes thar
Hearst will be ignominiously defeated No
venber g. In that event. with Hearst out OF the
way. he intends getting into campaign of
hard work with conservative Democrats all
over the state and try retuvenate the Dem
oCratic party.
The Hearst ticket Will be the first Democratic
ticket that Mayor Mcclellan has bolted in
whole or in part. but the Mayor does not con-
slider that he is really bolting any ticket this
year as Hearst under hts understanding OF a
Democrat. is not affiliated with that party
Controller Metz says that the action OF the
DemOCrat'C State Convention mas staggered hllA
ITS case of three HIS" said Mr.. Metz. THE
three HIS are Hearst. Hughes and He'll Being
a Democrat T don't want to stand for Hughes.
and don't want go 20 hell. am on a stand
between hell and Hearst and I'm going to take
plenty of time TO think IL over. think the
action Of the state convention in throwing out
legally elected delegates was a disgrace and
scandal. I am not tied up with Mr.. Berrnel IN
politics but apparently his delegates were the
legally elected representatives Of the four Queens
districts. II piece OF robbery to throw
them out and seat a set OF delegates who had
no claim 70 the places 1t gives headache
to think of the action Of that state convention
1 don't understand IT,"
TAMMANY LEADER RESIGNS.
James J. Martin Tammany leader Of the 9th
Assembly District furnished % the ssnsa-
tions OF the day by announcing his resignation
from that place and Tammany Hall exec
utive member. Martin was one OF the leaders
who bolted at the Tammany caucus at Buffalo.
He said at the time that he would noe stand for
Hearst and his resignation was IN keeping with
that stand Mr.. Martins resignation was sent
to Thomas F. McAvoy. the chairman OF tho
Tammany executive committee
Mr.. Martin has always been classed as un-
friendly to Murphy. During the last campaign
he was closely associated with the Mayor and
when there were several disputes between the
Mayor and Murphy. Martin Strengthened them
out. He member OF the old bipartisan
Police Board before consolidation was affected
He is regarded as Independently wealthy.
Edward NJ Shepard showed his qualification
when told of the action OF Mayor McClellaI
nIain1v. He would not discuss the Hearst ticket
except TO say:
IT profoundly. upon careful consideration. dis
annroved the nomination of Mr.. Hearst before
~ was made and nothing has since happened 20
change my convictions
"I shall take no part in this campaign
Mr. Shepards declaration that he continued
his opposition to Hearst is taken that he viii
oppose him. in a quiet way in his campaign.
That Tammany Hall has something In its
organization 10 cause leaders who kick over the
traces TO come meekly back into line was shown
again yesterday in the attitude Of Thomas E
Rush. who bolted the Tamrnany caucus at Buf-
falo and cast his three votes from the 2sth As
sembly District for Sulzer Rush announced
that he would remain with the organization and
would support the ticket nominated at Buf-
falo.
You will then support the candidacy OF Hearst.
