New York. Oct. 6.--William 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 mass
meeting OF 1000 Of his admirers at
Cooper Union.
This action was taken despite HIS
authoritative statement last evening
that he would not be &seand idate. =
Resolutions were Adopted directing
that O. COMMITTEES of FIVE be appointed
to take steps for the naming OF an en-
tire city. county and borough ticket.
which will be placed in nomination by
petition.
Tonight's. meeting was called. ac-
cording to Its leaders, with view to
showing Mr. Hearst that opinion among
his followers In the old Independence
League was so strongly In favor of his
running again as to override even his
positive declaration. The hopes of the
leaders were more than realized-every
seat in the big hall was filled and the
name of Mr.. Hearst was greeted every
time it was mentioned with salvo of
cheers.
When. after a halg dozen Opening"
nominated for Mayor. the meeting rose
to its feet after the approved manner
of political conventions and the DEM
onstration that followed lasted twenty
minutes before the chairman's call for
order could be heard.
No Indications as to what Mr..
Hearst's attitude would be toward the
action of the meeting was received be-
fore adjournment was taken. but the
A.
dence that IT would be impossible for
him to refuse. The third party which
is thus suddenly projected into New
York's municipal campaign, will not
be known as the Independence League.
but win probably bear the title "Citi-
zens' Party" or some similar designa-
ton.
The principal address of the evening
was made by William /. WINS. who
was the Republican candidate for May
or against Hearst and Mcclellan four
years ago.
'I come here as a Republican and
former political opponent of Mr.
Hearst" said Mr.. WINS. 81 ran against
Mr. Heart four years ago, and would
then have regarded his installation IN
the New York mayorality as great
public calamity. But for four years l
have watched him. and am now con-
more public spirited, or more capable
gentleman and citizen before the pub
lie than Mr.. Hearst.
Mr.. Ivins's remarks tonight created
a peculiar situation, In that Mr..
Hearst, in a formal statement, issued
last night. not only declined to run
for Mayor, but announced that he
would support the candidacy OF Judge
Gaynor in preference to Otto T. Ban
nard. the Republican nominee. No an
nouncement was made tonight as to
when Mr.. Hearst would be formally
notified that his admirers had nom
mated him.
The only other important develop
ment In the local political situation to-
day was a report that District Attor-
ney Jerome. having failed to get the
Tammany endorsement and in face
of the fusionist rally In favor or
Charles s. Whitman. the Republican
candidate. would quit his independent
fight for reelection. Mr.. Jerome has
neither confirmed nor denied to- re-
port up to a late hour tonight.
