NEW YORK, Oct. civilian Ran
dolph Hearst, once defeated for mayor
of this city by George b. Mcclellan
and later defeated by Charles e.
Hughes for governor of the state, was
nominated for mayor tonight at a
mass meeting of 1000 of his friends at
Cooper Union.
This action was taken despite his
authoritative statement last evening
that he would not be a candidate.
| Resolutions were adopted directing
that a committee of five be appointed
to take steps for the naming of an
entire city and county and borough
ticket which will be placed in nomina-
| ton by the committee.
Tonights meeting was called, ac-
cording to its leaders, with view to
showing Mr.. Hearst that opinion
among his followers in the old Inde-
| pendence league was so strongly in
favor of his running again as to over
ride even his positive declaration.
The demonstration which followed
his nomination lasted twenty minutes
before the chairman's call for order
could be heard.
The platform, as indicated, by the
speakeres, will express distrust of the
intentions of both the Republican and
Democratic parties, which already
claring that a silent alliance exists
between Tammany and the local Re-
publican machine, which would make
good government under either an i'm
possibility.
Municipal Ownership
1t will declare in strong terms for
municipal ownership of subways, eco
nomic civic administration and ade-
quate school and transit facilities,
The principal address was made by
William NJ WINS, who was the Repub-
| ican candidate for mayor against
Hearst and Mcclellan four years ago
81 come here as Republican and
former opponent of Mr.. Hearst" said
| Mr.. WINS. 'I ran against Mr.. Hearst
| four years ago and would then have
regarded his installation in the New
York mayoralty as great public ca
! lamity. But for four years now 1 have
watched him, and 1 am now convinced
| that there is not a more sincere, more
public-spirited or more capable gentle
| man and citizen before the public than
Mr. Hearst.
"In four years no one has been more
| steadfast in working for the public
good, and my firm allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party-at
least in national and state politics-does
not prevent me from coming here to
bear testimony to Mr.. Hearst as
| Whole-souled, Independent Well-WlSher
of his city and its people.
New York as a municipality should
have three parties The existence of
only two parties here always is guar
antv that the issues and the fruits of
victory will be syndicated and divided
between them.
Wishes Them Good Luck
eff you men gathered here tonight
see fit to form an independent party
with William Randolph Hearst as your
standard bearer, I bid you Godspeed
and hope that all your other candl-
dates, your platform and your rank
and file NAV be inspired and imbued by
the whole-souled honesty, integrity and
| generosity of your leader"
Mr., WINS devoted full half hour
to the Tammany ticket, headed by
Justice William J. Gaynor.
"Justice Gaynor is carrying the ban
ner for the gang" he said. He is
the stalking horse for Tammany. He
leads the vilest ticket that ever has
been placed before New York. In spite
| of his position, for months he has de-
voted himself to a cleVerly framed ana
| adroitly executed conspiracy WHEREBY
the two beneflciaries are to oe the Judge
| on one hand and the band or polltlcal
| criminals on the other.
"Justice Gaynor has told us that he
has a right to take any mans vote
but there are some votes in New York
that no decent man should care or
dare to take. The Tammany ticket
is not entitled to the serious consid-
GRAFTON of any man who pretenGs to ne
a friend to the city"
Peculiar Situation
Mr. WINS remarks created peculiar
situation, in that Mr.. Hearst in a for
NAL statement last night not only de-
clined to run for mayor, but announced
! that he would support the candidacy
of Judge Gaynor in preference to Otto
r. Barnard, the I. publican nominee.
The only other important develop
ment in the local political situation was
a report that District Attorney Wllllam
Travers Jerome, having failed to get the
| Tammany Endorsement and in face of
fine fusionist rally in favor of Charles
s. whitman, the Republican candidate,
would quit his independent fight for
reelection.
Mr.. Jerome had neither confirmed nor
denied the report up to late hour to-
night.
