FUSION BARS GAYNOR
CAN'T BE THEIR CHOICE
AFTER SETTLEMENT.
SAY He Is out Since He announced
ReceiJing assurances from
Tdmmdnu Hall.

Justice GaynOr's announcement of his deter
| mnation to be a candidate for Mayor did not
shake the Republicans the Committee of one
Hundred and organizations allied with the
fusion movement which had decided TO oppose
my candidate who is allied with Tammany
Wherever politicians gathered yesterday the
sole topic of conversation was Justice Gaynor's
announcement. and the universal verdict was
that he had made bad break in saying that
he had received assurances from influential
Democrats that he would be indorsed by the
Democratic City Convention This is what JUS
tice GaynOr wrote
Influential men in the Democratic party have
sent to me their assurances that the Demo-
cratic City Convention will give me an unCon-
ditional nomination.
The only assurances on which "a man
would place reliance are assurances from Charles
F. Murphy and Patrick H. McCarren," said Jus
tice Gaynor's critics yesterday.
There is doubt that the Justices own words
will be used against him in the campaign. Who
gave the assurances? Who conducted the negO-
tiations? These questions were asked yesterday
by both Republicans and Democrats.
Chairman Outerbridge of the Committee of
One Hundred said that the Hundred would con-
slider for Endorsement only candidate who was
opposed to Tammany Hall. When asked about
the Gaynor statement and if the committee
our position is precisely the same as it was
last Tuesday night, when. chairman of the
Committee of One Hundred, I authorized this
statement: AS the discussion of names for
Mayor has progressed in the committee can
didates 1t is manifest that no name will be con-
sdered except that of who will under
take TO conduct active campaign against
everything that the record of Tammany Hall
stands for
what will be the attitude of the Hundred toward
him in case Tammany indOrses hm?" was
asked
Il am not prepared to talk about individuals"
said Mr.. Outerbridge II merely repeat what
have already said. that the Committee of One
Hundred will not consider the name of man
who is who may hereafter be afhiated
with Tammany Hall"
HEARST WILL BE HEARD FROM
There is good reason for the belief that Will
lam r. Hearst will soon publicly attack JUS
tice GaynOr for saying he had received assur-
ances from influential Democrats that the Dem
ocratic City Convention would indorse him. In
his speech in Arlington Hall Friday night of
last week Mr.. Hearst read and answered ques-
tions follows:
Question 6-In Justice GaynOr is put in
nomination by taxpayers association through
petition or is nominated either by Tammany or
dence League support him?
Mr.. Hearst answered this as follows:
The question as have said is not one of or
ganization, nor is it a question of individuals.
1t is question of principles. When the indie
pendence party knows for what Judge GaynOr
stands and with whom he stands, il will know
whether Or not it support him.
Question Slave you any objection to uniting
forces with either of the two old parties such.
and would you consider fusion with Tammany
in il nominated good men?
The answer:
direct proportion 10 my confidence in its hon
esty and sincerity. I have no confidence what
ever either in the honesty or the sincerity OF
Tammany Hail
The Hearst meIr said yesterday that Justice
Gaynor already had his answer from them in
Mr.. Hearst's statement.
President Parsons would not comment on
Justice Gaynor's candidacy. A district leader
close to Mr. Parsons. who never has been known
to misstate the presidents attitude. had this 10
say:
In saying that he has assurances of Tam
many Endorsement Judge Gaynor has made il
impossible for the Republicans to make him
their candidate. Who but Charles F. Murphy
and Senator McCarren could have guaranteed
that nomination? While pret ending to oppose
the bosses Gaynor Is now record ready %
accept nomination from the Democratic party.
That spells Tammany in this town.
REPUBLICANS HAVE SPOKEN.
The Republican city and county committees
have already declared by resolution fhat the
duty of the party in ths coming election is To
