Out of Situation.

New York. October 1S.-William r.
Hearst Independent nominee for mayor
Of New York. and Otto I. Barnard, the
republican nominee, both of whom are
heading the fusion ticket, motored
through Harlem tonight and delivered
series of rapid-fire speeches in support
of their candidacy. Hearst spoke at four
places and Barnard spoke thrice
As has been his wont, Barnard confined
himself briefly to business issues. Hearst
spoke at length and continued his de-
nunciation of William ]. Gaynor, the
democratic nominee, although he found
time to refer to Barnard as machine
candidate. II have got into this fight
TO defeat both Gaynor and his Tammany
machine and Barnard and his woodruff
machine" he said, and l do not want
Mr. Barnard to forget, in the heat and
excitement of the campaign, that he is
just as much of a machine candidate
as Judge Gaynor is. He may not be
the candidate of the same machine. but
lie is the candidate of the same kind of
machine and ], for one, cannot see the
difference in blackness between the Tam
many kettle and the Woodruff pot
Mr.. Barnard was not nominated at the
fusion conference. The fusion confer
ence was broken up. He was not NOM
mated t1he republican convention. That
has not yet been held He was APP
pointed and anointed the candidate Of
the Noble Order of Woodruffians and
created a Knight of the CheclSered Waist,
eoet at Jszgs In The early hours OF
a September morning.
Between Two Fires.
Now. Mr.. Barnard is not only not an
independent candidate but he is not even
an anti-Tannamy candidate. If Mr.
Parsons statement of the deal between
Canon and the republican machine with
Cannon and the republican machine with
sbe believed Mr.. Barnard was nomin-
ated, not to defeat Tammany, but to
elect Tammany If Mr.. Barnard is eject
ed Mr.. Woodruff's pet trusts will get
the city and If Judge Gaynor is elected
the Tammany pet thieves will get the
city,"
In the rest of his speech Hearst de-
Tended himself against the thrust by ex-
Judge Gaynor that he was indorsed by
Tammany when he ran for governor
against Hughes. "Grover Cleveland, he
said, was consistent foe of Tammany
Hail. yet he ran for governor of the
governor of New York as much a foe
of Tammany Hall as I had run for mayor
a foe of Tammany Hall the year be-
FORE
He declared that although nominated
by the democrats he fought Charles f.
Murphy throughout and at no time sur
rendered to Tammany.
why did not Judge Gaynor do as I
did?r he continued why did not Gaynor
denounce Murphy and McCarren? He
had plenty of time to do it before Nc
Carren got sick
New Angle To Fight.
Hearsts attack on Barnard tonight
gives the fight new angle, for hereto
fore both have maintained what might
be called truce. in view of the fact that
both are attempting to defeat Tammany
Barnard has at all times refrained from
criticising Hearst. In his speeches to-
night the republican nominee said in part
Il am a candidate for mayor because
a good many people think the city hall
needs business man. / am a business
man Of ten years legal training and
some knowledge of how city bonds should
be Sold The issue is Tammany graft
and waste"
Mr.. Barnard expressed keen regret to-
night when shown a dispatch from AL
bany that Governor Hughes would take
no part In the campaign here.
1T is very great regret to me that
the governor does not seem to care to
enter into the campaign for the over
throw of TamInany in his home city,
he said.
Wins To Front.
William M. Twins, who. although not
candidate himself has laid the ground
work for a major part of the personal
attacks In the campaign, kept his place
well In the calcium of charge and coun-
tercharge today. Accused last night by
Henry George, Jr., of trying to persuade
MS rather, the single-taxer, to withdraw
from the mayoralty campaign in 1886, In
consideration Of a seat in Congress offered
by Tammany, he faced yet another
charge today made by Col. William N
Amory, former secretary of the Third
Avenue Railroad company. Amory came
out with an affidavit attacking him as
representing Thomas r. Ryan in blocN
ing traction Investigations in New York
He declares that WINS was paid S2O.OOO
by the commission for shielding RYAN
in the public service investigation In
referring to the investigation before the
public service commission in 1907 he con-
tinued:
II am convinced Mr.. WINS at that time
had conference with Ryan or his rep
resentatives for the deliberate suppress
sion of facts"
Twins issued statement tonight in
which he says:
II am sorry for him Colonel Amory)
for he could not take such an oath If he
was really responsible. AS a matter of
fact, have not seen Mr.. Ryan or any
Of his associates for months except as
] have met his counsel in court as my
adversary"

and Police Misrule" as his topic, he ad
