of reading the so-called Standard Oil
letters in New York last night to center
his attack on Lieut.. Gov. Lewis Stuyves-
ant Chanler, the democratic candidate for
governor. In speech at an independence
League meeting at the Grand Central Pal
ace Mr.. Hearst produced and read what
he said were press notices sent out in the
interests of the Chanler presidential boom
prior to the democratic national conven-
ton by a press agent employed by Mr..
ChanleT. In these notices Mr.. Bryan $
candidacy was held up to ridicule, while
Mr. CHAMBERS qualifications were ex-
toled.
With these as a basis Mr.. Hearst at
tempted to show that Mr.. Chambers pres
ent attitude toward Mr. Bryan. especial
ly as indicated at the Madison Square
Garden Monday night. was one of hy-
pocrisy. and that Mr.. Chanler was a
traitor and turncoat."
