BRYAN SUSPECTS
MURPHY OF DEAL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4-william J..
Bryan UP to tonight had refused to
concede publicly that he had been de-
feated or to send the customary mes
sage of congratulations TO his vic
torious rival A faint hope to which,
publicly at least. he still clung was due
in part TO reports from leaders in In
diana and Ohio that he had undoubt-
edly carried these states and that the
republicans were resorting to fraud to
steal them.
AS to New York, charges reached
Bryan today that Boss Murphy had sold
Bryan out in order TO secure the elec-
tion Of his ticket next fall; that MUIR
ply had made a deal with the repub-
licans whereby the Tammany may
orally ticket was assured of election
next year.
Having received q bigger total vote
than he ever got before. Bryan pro-
poses to use II a lever and go to
Washington. putting his proposed re-
forms up to congress one by one He
Will continue to advocate them In
speeches and lectures But he will is
sue a statement probably in a few
weeks declaring that he never will run
again for president. In the future he
will spend his time writing and talk
ing for his reforms, devoting a great
deal Of his time in advocating legis-
lation at Washington.

JUDGE JOHN HUNT
SCORES EXAMINER
Den0unceS Faxed Picture Pre-
tending to Show Him With
w. F. Herrin
Popular Magistrate Polls High
est Vote After Turning
Down Doodle Dees"

Judge John Hunt, who headed the list
of successful candidates for the su-
perior bench. repudiated the nomina-
dees and denounced g scandalous faxed
picture OF himself in company with
W. F. Herrin, printed in Hearst's Ex-
aminer, as an infamous lie. =
Judge Hunt went to the country
yesterday afternoon for few days
rest after his campaign. He made the
following statement:
Il regard my election at the top Of
the poll as a big victory. in view of the
fact that all of the other candidates
had at least one, and in most cases
two. nominations more than / had. /
consider 1 ran on only single nomi-
nation-the republican. I did not
count the independence league nomina-
tion. Neither the good government
league. democratic nor union labor con-
ventions Endorsed me, whereas each of
the other candidates had one or more
of those parties behind him. Neverthe-
less, I got a fine union labor vote in
cases where the ticket was not voted
straight.
I attribute my election not so much
TO any merit of nv own as to the
faithful and enthusiastic efforts OF de-
1 desire TO extend my heartfelt
thanks.
1t is absolutely untrue that I went
to the polls yesterday in company with
William f. Herrin, as is sought to be
conveyed in picture in today's Exam
iner." said Judge Hunt. 1T is a lie
and you can not make that too strong
The paper might as well have had me
going to the polls in company with
Ruef or some other impossible
person. I can not understand the pur-
pose Of the trick. II was idiotic and
worthy only of the inmate of an asylum.
My polling booth is in the third pre-
cinct Of the fortieth district, at Pine
and Octavia streets, while that OF Her
rim is in the forty-fi district, at
Scott street and Broadway, mile and
half distant.
The action OF the Examiner IS all
the more inexplicable from the fact
that photographer OF that paper
awaited me at my polling booth and
took a picture of me at 5 o'clock yes
terday morning casting my ballot
That picture was not used, however,
and instead the paper printed another
attempting TO show that I went to the
polls with Herrin."
Judge Sturtevant. expressing his ap-
probation of his election, said:
The rebuilding of one of the great
est cities is at hand. Out of the COM
mercial business incidental to the re-
building certain important legal bust
ness will, in all probability, arise.
am very proud to know that am to be
one OF the judges of the superior court
during this most important period in
the history of San Francisco"

The money will be left until the re-
suit of an appeal can be known. If a
new trial is ordered and another jury
fixes larger sum the city will make up
the difference, or in case smaller
amount is decided upon the city can
draw down the difference. The law al
lows occupation of the premises for the
work OF improvement under the verdict
which condemned the land for the use
of the city.

Engineer Ray D. Stannard of the reclamation service, Secretary Chas. A. Van der Veer of the Water Users association and Miss Dorothy Taylor returned from their trip to Roosevelt Saturday night and Miss Taylor has now gone to California. Her particu- lar work is the cOloring of pictures, and she has spent much time in the reclamation offices in Washington, D. C., coloring the stereopticon slides and transparencies used by MT. Blanchard and others in their lectures. Her visit here was not only to secure new pie lures. but to get a better idea of the natural cOloring of those scenes she is to depict
 For three months she has been at the Grand Canyon doing similar work for the Santa Fe, and she has gone to California to do work of the same sort for the Southern Pacific, both these companies are doing much at the present time to advertise the west Later she will return to Washington and resume her former duties. Need less to say she was greatly impressed with the immensity of the cOnstruc- tion at Roosevelt.
 Speaking of the progress of the work Messrs. Stannard and Van der Veer report that rapid progress is being made, and this month promises to be a banner one for construction, something like 600 cubic yards of rock being laid daily. The lowest place on
