 Speech.

New York, Oct. 29.-They scattered oratory. red fire and invective pretty nearly all over Greater New York to- night with the municipal election only two working days away. Hundreds of minor mass meetings were held in the five boroughs
 W. R. Hearst independent, A spoke three times on the East Side. William J. Gaynor. Democrat, spoke in Brook lyn and then came to Manhattan, while Otto T. Barnard Republican, begin ming in the theatre district. went down town, then up into Harlem.
 Hearst, keeping up his appeal to the common people" struck a popular chord tonight by announcing that if he was elected Mayor, he will hire spacious hall where he would appear at stated times for ''heckling" at the handa of the people--to answer their questions and to receive their advice.
 He spoke also of ballot box stuffing. a subject which he felt especially com potent to touch upon, he said. in view of his experience in 1905. when he was defeated for Mayor. Fraudulent votes ISAtf feated him then. he has maiutaiked ever since. and he said tonight that he was prepared to meet repeating at the coming election.
 "Forty-six tiger cubs have been sent to Sing Sing" he said. and we expect to send a regular Hudson-Fulton pa- rade to the same place during the com ing month.
 But we are going to Kill the tiger this year-kill him and skin him and nail his hide to the wigwam."
 Mir. Barnard. abandoning the finan- cial affairs of the city for a night spoke of the police and personal lib- erty, a subject >which has been used ,to hxy The nnlfnA do- pertinent, he said. should be removed entirely from politics and the enforce ment of the law should be reasonable but not spasmodic."
 Attorney General wickerslsam. speak ing in Bannard's behalf, added q bit of national flavor to the campaign.
 T am not here as Federal official, or as a member of the Presidents cab met" he said, but as a citizen and taxpayer of New York. In this capac- ity. despite my Federal office, feel 1t my privilege and my duty to aid in this effort to put competent and honest men at the head of the affairs of the city, Judge Gaynor speaking first to old neighbors in Brooklyn tonight. took the defensive andileaned on his record. He denied that he had ever been tried for violation of the tenement house law as has been charged by his detractors.
 As to the charge that he had a monthly income of $1.200 from tene- ment rents. the truth was. he said. that he owned property assessed at $60,000 and mortgaged for s14.0o0. yielding him 8 per cent on his investment.
 Robert R. Moore, Democratic candi- date for Comptroller. brought suit to- day for Slo0.o0o for libel against Will liam R. Hearst because of an article printed this morning in The American charging that Moore had been used as q dummy to obtain large loans for Charles W. Morse.
 Richard Croker, on his arrival here today said his coming has nothing to do with politics.
 q am out of politics absolutely" he said. "I know 1t is no use to expect the press to let up on the question and must continue to deny any participa- ton in public affairs. If I did not re- ply they would think I had something on my mind"
