MURPHY ADMINISTERS
A RAP TO HEARST
Accuses Him Of Soliciting
Tammany's Aid for presi-
dentlaI Nomination

New York Oct. PA whlrlwlna
finish and surprise all around is
the outlook for New York's mayoral-
ty campaign.
Every one is in the dark Tammany
is working as hard as 1t ever did In
its 125 years of existence. II feels
pretty certain of electing Judge Gay
nor, but is certain OF nothing else.
And the unpleasant feature TO Tam
many is that, even II it elects Gay
nor, it will have in the mayors Office
man who can be counted on to de-
4 liver no patronage or favors.
Since be stepped forward as nom
inee Judge Gaynor has been assalled
and attacked from all sides and there
seems to be little doubt in the estima-
tion OF unbiased onlookers that he has
4 lost ground. He has made scant re-
plies to his critics, declaring that he
prefers to rest on his record.
Without the advent of Hearst i
would have been a landslide for Gay
nor Gaynor has always been strong
with the so-called radical element
which four years ago voted largely
for Hearst, but the appearance OF
Hearst means the loss OF this vote TO
Gaynor.
Both are making weighty appeals
for the vote OF the great multitude OF
East Siders
Bannard's Campaign Strong
! Gaynor poses as the champion ol
the downtfodden and friendless, and
Hearst is hailing himself. as he did
four years ago. as the Moses TO lead
the city millions out OF the wilder
ness. Meanwhile Barnard tue Repub
lican nominee, Is campaigning like q
veteran and promises to give the cits
a husinesslike administration. The
Republican managers say they expect
him to win. Secretly they have little
nope. but they do believe they VII
! elect all the other nominees on the
. Republican fusion tickets.
/ WINS, the Republican nominee foul
years ago, poled $4,000 votes. The
normal Republican vote Is about l75,
5 600. Barnard, in the estimation o
I some OF the prophets, will get abou
10000. with Hearst trailing alont
With something like 10000. As ther'
will be approximately 100000 votes
east, this would give Gaynor tota
vote of S25.00O, or 100000 pluraip
over Barnard But II would probabll
mean the defeat OF the Democratic
nominee for comptroller and presiden
of the board OF aldermen and prob
ably two Of the five borough presl
dents.
Straw votes seem to indicate tha
Hearst will get something Ike 50 pc
cent OF the vote be got four year
age Then he received 224.000 vote
or about s,400 less than Mcclellan.
New York. however. Is looking 0l
without any great show of interest
1t is easier to find man who doesn'
know who the nominees are than I
find one who does.
Hearst Beats Tammany
Justice James w Gerard Of the 81
preme court decided today that tn
independence league column. whic
was prepared under Tammany auspil
es must come off the official ball0
So far as the names OF w. ]. Gayno

The decision was rendered on TO
ground that the city convention 9
the league was not called by W. :
Hearst or man designated by tn
league. and therefore was moi a vail
convention
Betting on the election was NOR
brisk today than at any time since n
campaign began. The following odd
prevailed:

1. that Hearst has more votes tha
Barnard, even money; that GaynOr
$4,000 plurality. even money: thi
