 Any Tickets-Course is


 New York. Oct 1o-In c statement fnIi of sting and bite. yet devoid of fnyectiye, w .lliam J. Gaynor, the Dem- ocrattc nominee for Mayor of Greater Nev York, fired his first pig projectiie nj inc munic vi campaign tonight In an attack upin William R. Hearst.
 Early last week, MT. Hearst issued statement saying positively tnat ns would not run for Mayor. but woulo support Justice Gaynor. Two oays ia ter, he accepted an indepehoene Ao ation for the office. ,..
 surnrised at this actions, Justice fsaynor issued a brief statement. charg, ing Hearst with breach of faitn anu tonight he came out with statenleh. and a letter. purporting to snow Ae Hearst had urged him to run for Mayor nearly six month ago. "on any ticke' and pledging his support
 To strengthen his statement, Jus.ice Caynor first made public letter un- der date of October 3. aodresseo " him by Rudolph Block. who occupies an editorial positton on the Hearst paper
 "He asked you" said Block. If you ,vould not run for Mayor in the faii. ana said: I don't care what ticKet you run on. I'll support you
 Judga Gaynor describes MT. Hearst's 3 course az giving him "the most painfui shock I ever I had ever experienced. and as a breach of trust such as ne had never encountered before.
 "It may be that with all his money and newspaper and power, the peop.e of New York may not let him run over me so easily as he thinks Judge Gay nor added.
 In his statement tonight Justice Gay. nor reviews the incidents which Tea up to Hearst's repudiation of him.
 .sMeanwhile," continues the state ment. "the primaries of the Independ- ence League had been held. and II was found that a decisive majority or me delegates chosen were In my iaVor. Thereupon. Mir. Hoarst would not per init the convention to De caIiea. % other party boss ever went as Tar as thfs. It Is said that this may be an tndictable offense, and 1t Is being look- cd into.
 rAfter the primaries. Mir. Hearst began to cry fraud. as usual. and tha' his ballot boxes had been stuffed.
 NOW he repudiates his league party and is having himself nominated py petition against me. I am fuly con scious that his great estate or rom sso. .ooo. 900 to $65, 5,000,o00 gives him huge advantage over me, oa. " & may os that with all his money ana neWsps' pers and power, the people of New york may not let him run over me s' easily as he thinks"
 MT. Hearst gave out statement answering Gaynor. in which he said:
 ..If Judge Gaynor has stated that promised to support him under any circumstance, and upon any and all tickets, he states what Is posiuveiy untrue. I will try to assume that ne Ia honestly mistaken, but 1t Is dimcuir for me to do so. as the proposition is SO unreasonable and impossible that II bears It's reputation on its face.
 Judge Gaynor is not hfe-iong friend, or deepIy-loved brother to whom a blind devotion might be due. He mas been. to me, merely repre- sentative of certain ideas, an exponent of certain principles. While he was supporting those principles. supporteo him. Wilen he deserted those princi- nies I parte0 from him.
 Concluding. MT. Hearst denied that he invited Judge Gaynor to coms 10 hif house. Justice Gaynor, ne sald' came to him "humbly as I have no doubt ne previously visited Murphy
 = He denies, in conclusion. he wouic support Judge daynor under any and all eircumstances.
