DAREs HEARST TO MEET HIM IN
 JOINT DEBATE.
TWO CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR
Appeared Last Night Before New York Public in Their First Addresses of the campaign-Hearst Quiet.

New York Oct. 1.-Two candidates for mayor of Greater New York, who have been engaged in bitter denuncia- tion of each other during the past two days, William R. Hearst and William J. Gaynor. appeared before the public tonight for their first addresses of the campaign. Hearst spoke at Carnegie hall, Manhattan. where he formally ac- cepted the nomination of the body of independents known as the civic alli- ance. Justice Gaynor appeared at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn as the regular democratic nominee.
 Gaynor Wants Fair Play.
 In his formal address Hearst re- trained from attacking his rival. but Justice Gaynor aroused by what he declared to be Hearst's breach of faith in repudiating him, challenged the ed- itor in his speech to meet him in joint debate on the issues of the campaign, T want fair play above all in this contest" said Judge Gaynor. j''The open enemy. honor, but despise the enemy that sits back. as an edi- tor or otherwise, and, pretending to be your friend. when he is only smil- ing while he buries his dagger in your ribs. The yellow comes put of a man if it is in him. So I say, let us have it out in the open. Mir. Hearst.
 T am out of training as a public speaker and actually unfit to go before an audience, but I pass him this chal- lenge. l am not afraid to meet him before the intelligent public"
 What Was Done at Hearst Meeting.
 The Hearst meeting tonight was in the nature of an independent republi- can gathering. in view of the fact that Hearst is to be at the head of the ticket composed of the regular repub lican-fusion nominees. Therefore, Charles $. Whitman, the republican nominee for district attorney, was one of the speakers. William NJ. Wins, who was the republican candidate for mayor four years ago when Mcclellan was victorious, made a savage attack upon Gaynor.
 He said that Justice Gaynor partlci- pated in a conference in a hotel in this city during which he advised State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, and an- ether man, d lobbyist" that the anti race track gambling law passed by the legislature in this state was un- constitutional
 Mir. Wins said that he was aware of the personal risk in making such a statement because Justice Gaynor is still on the bench William J. Gay nor" he continued, has a judicial history of demagogism and political trickery. And as to the statements that 1 have just made, he must either get off the bench or he. will have his opportunity of having me disbarred.
 His whole life is as-ellapter in spo- litical hypocrisy and I shall take a large part of my time during the next two weeks in demonstrating it." Gaynor Pays His Respects to Ban
 nard.
 While the Hearst meeting was in progress Justice Gaynor was reiterat- ing in Brooklyn that Hearst broke faith with him and criticising the edi- tors record in politics.
 Paying his respects to MT. Barnard. he said:
 How was MT. Bannard's nomina- tion made? Not by the fusion com mittee. but by MT. Sugar Trust Par sons, MT. Timothy Woodruff, MT. Iv- ins and one or two others, who met in an all-night saloon-a drinking place"
