 Twins Denounced Gaynor at Hearst
 Meeting.
 At the Hearst meeting William M. Wins, republican,, confined himself to reviewing Ssaynors record in general rather than citing any specific in- stances where the judge erred.
 T have already shown what his at titude was in the case of the race track gamblers" said, Twins. T have shown how he endeavored to reverse the con- stituti 0n of the state of New York in the aid of corrupt Conspiracy. and I shall keep on going through his record day after day until he has reached the vI.s l.t. cal funeral. There are at least six thousand members of the bar who would vote for Mir. Justice Gaynor for mayor for no other reason on earth except to get him off the bench. He is an intellectual freak"
 He denounced Gaynor as a tool of Tammany Hall declared that he was incompetent to hold the position of mayor, and bitterly assaailed his en- tire record on the bench as being one conducted for his own personal inter- ests. William A, De Ford, a lawyer, who was a candidate for bttorney general of the state on the Independ- ence league ticket in 1906, preceded Twins. He told among other things of a conversation with Rudolph Block, a former Hearst employe. and an adher- ent of Gaynor. in which Block is all legged ito have said that Judge Gay nor expects to be elected governor and then president of the United States, and he wants to take the nomination for ma yors from Tan1nany Hall in or der U work cut this ambition

Gaynor had barely got underway with his ad- dress when a woman dressed in black rose in the audience and called How about woman's suffrage% She was Miss Maud Malone. president of the Harlem Equal Rights league. and familiar figure at political gatherings. A chorus of hoots and catcalls greet ed her. but she was determined.
 ''The question which you ask is not pertinent to this meeting" said Gay nor, after some embarra ssment, and shall ask you in order 70 prevent any further interruption 10 go first and consult my wife"
 Sill Miss Malone refused to be seat ed. and after consulting with Herman Ridder, who presided, policemen es corted her from the hall.
 Gaynor attacked the police admin istration of the Rogues' Gallery" and promised that if he were elected may or he would see that several hundred photograpS of men who had never been convicted would be taken out. (.
