New York, Oct. s---willian F.


 dolph Hearst once defeated Charles E. Hughes for go ernor of the state was nominated far mayor of New York tonight at a mass meeting of 1000 of his admirers It Cooper-Union hall
 This action was taken despite his authoritative statement last evening that he would not be "a candidate.
 Resolutions were adopted direct. ing that acommittee of fvas pointed to take steps for tae of an entire city county and bois ticket which will be placed in lAlC nation by petition.
 Tonight's meeting was called, cording to it's leaders, with a view ol showing Mir. Hearst that opinion among his followers in the old In- dependence League was so strongly in favor of his running again as to override even his positive declara- tion

But for four gears I have watched him and am now consineed that there Is not more sincere more public spirited or mere capable man and citizen before the public than Mr. Hearst In ionr years no one mas been more steadfast ln working for the public good and my firm allegiance to the principles of the Republican part at least in na- tional and state pollties-does not prevent me from coming here to bear the testimony to Mir.
