New York. Oct. 10.-with William Randolph Hearsts name as an adji- tionai asset to. the Republican, Fusion ticket. New York's municipal cam paign has shaped itself definitely as a tight to oust Tammany Hall from con- trol of the city finances.
 10th Hearst and Otto T. Barnard that their election Is a matter of sec ondary importance so long as the re- mainder of the Fusion ticket wins out. TOT this will mean Tummany's defeat In the board of estimate, which con- trols the purse strings of the greater city. and is a medium through which economy or extravaganza may be ex- ercised regardless of the Mayor.
 Hearst followers. now known as the Civic Alliance. having accepted his conditions that he head a ticket com posed of the bulk of the Republican. Fusion nominees already selected, ar engagements to obtain the signatures requisite to make his nomination le- gal are already under way and the formal petition will probably be filed With the board of elections early next week.
 William M. Twins. the RepueHcan who ran against Hearst and Mcclellan four years ago. issued a statement to. ---C"s. At WoS thkOu6h ENau eI1OTfS, largely that Hearst was induced to enter this years campaign, a circum- stance that has caused ,Tammany to cry that Republican-Hearst alliance Is on foot. MT. Twins statement says in part:

A platform will be presented for adop- ton that will be a frank and genuine expression of purpose, instead of & series of platitudes. loop holes and on-commitments. such as the plat form upon which the other candidates for Mayor are running.
 MT. Hearst will attend the meet ing in person and declare his attitude with respect to the entire matter of city government.
 "Mr. Hearst will make a thorough and tireless canvass of the city and will be in touch with the entire com munity at practically every moment of the day and night until election day."
 All Hearsts friends say he stands ready to make another whirlwind campaign such as he did in 1905, campaign which was followed by the recount and much controversy, ftnai- iy resulting in McClellan's being elect ed by slender plurality.
 Barnard and the Republican lead. ership expressed nothing but satisfac ton today at Hearst,s entering the field. Maintaining that Barnard will be elected regardless. they profess to feel jubilant that Hearst had added strength to the remainder of the Fus. ion ticket. All talk of Bannerds withdrawing and allowing Hearst to head the ticket to victory was de- uounced as preposterous.
 Charles F. Murphy and other Tam many leaders continue to brand the entrance of Hearst as Ideal" but at the same time say that Justice Will liam J. Gaynor will be victorious Tammany. according to a current re- port. having already absorbed the old Independence League machinery, trie i to take the name and emblem of the new civic alliance today by filing petition under that name with the board of elections. Under the law the first party filing such a petition has a right to claim the title and em- blem, but If this disrupts the plans of the new Hearst party. no announce ment to this effect has been made
 Justice Gaynor was outspoken In his expression of displeasure at Hearst's entry into the campaign. "I am going through experiences Of breach of faith and plighted word that did not deem possible in this world" he said, referring to MT. Hearst's re- nunciation coming within a few days after his published declaration that he would support the Brooklyn candi- date.
 Judge Gaynor's principal contribu- ton to the situation yesterday was an
