PRINTING HELD Up
BY THE COURT
GaynOr May Not Be Allowed to
Use independence League
Emblem.

New York, oct. %. - William r.
Hearst's former political organization,
known as the independence league, the
emblem of which was taken by Tam
many, bobbed up tonight as a legal
technicality which may seriously inter
fere with preparing the official ballots
for the municipal election on Nov. ?.
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel Cor Will
liam r. Hearst, appeared before Su
preme Court Justice Gerard at a night
session, protesting against the appear
ance of the names of Democratic car
didates under the independence league
emblem, with the result that the court
ordered that the printing Of the bal
lots, which was already under way, be
suspended until arguments for both
sides can be heard tomorrow.
Protested in Vain.
The order was made over The protest
of Assistant Corporation Counsel Hanle,
who insisted that if such drastic ac-
ton were taken there might not d.
time enough to deliver tie ballots for
election day. The manager of the
printing firm in charge of the work
said that the plates were made, and
the company had expected to begin
printing the ballots tonight, but the
court was obdurate. In clearing up the
case in court tomorrow il may be nee
essaTy for William J. Caynor, Demo
cratic nominee for mayor; John r Gla-
win, Democratic nominee for president
of the board of aldermen, and Robert
Moore, Democratic nominee for comp
trOller, whose names appear under the
Independence league emblem, to be wit
nesses.
While the Independence league has
lost its Old-time prestige i'm this city
and is not now, strictly speaking, an
organization of Independent voters the
adoption of the name by Tammany Hall
was considered an asset to Democratic
candidates in that it might lead Hearst
supporters TO vote under that emblem
speechmaking Continues.
While lawyers were arguing in court
over this latest phase of the cam
paign, feTvid OratOry by the three can
didates for mayor was going on. Judge
Gaynor addressed a gathering of CO.
! lumbia students and others at the uni
versity late today and spoke before q
! labor mass meeting at Cooper Union to-
night. Mr.. Hearst spoke first at the
Murray Hill lyceum and then crossed
| to Long Island, where he spoke at
| College Point and Long Island City.
Mr.. Barnard, the Republican G1minee,
| delivered a series of addresses IN
/ Brooklyn.
The Hearst and Gaynor speeches to-
| night paralleled each other in many re-
| sDects. Both dwelt at length on po-
| lice reform and both criticised Gen
eral Theodore A. Bingham, recently
| Ousted as police commissioner
If Hearst Is Elected.
! TT has been stated 1 will make va
/ riOus appointments if elected mayor,
! said Mr. Hearst. among them the re-
/ appointment of of General Bingham as
police commissioner. Those statements
are absolutely untrue and unauthorized
I have nothing to say as to the per-
| sOnal honesty of General Bingham, but
apart from his honesty he is not al
all the kind of man that | would ap-
point as police commissioner.
IF l am elected mayor, the police
shall not be ordered to maltreat nor in
/ suit any American citizen who is not .
| criminal. The police shall never be-
have like the COssacks of Russia anc
ride down their horses upon innocent
law-abiding citizens"
OF the Republican nominee he said:
Mr. Barnard is a genial gentleman
and l do not want to speak disrespect-
As far as l can see, Mr.. Barnard.
business experiences have consisted il
acting as d sort of dummy agent OF
director in various companies for one
of the really big creative men in Wal
street.
If Mr.. Barnard is elected he will b,
merely a peg put in this political hol'
by the men playing the political game.
"White Slave" Charges.
Judge GaynOr, after reviewing polio,
issues and attacking Hearst, referred
indirectly to the white slave" charg'
as made in a recent anti-Tammanl
magazine article.
I'VE want an end to this slandern:
and defiling of the city" he concluded
And we want a government in tn,
interest of the whole people and con
forming to the will of the people.
The white slave" issue would no
down today, but it was answered from
almost every source in the Democrats
ranks.
Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hall, issued a statement tonight
