 row night when Hearst will appear be-

 Result of This Latest Trick.
 The latest tissue" of the campaign is Tammany's Kidnapping, or attempt ed abduction at least, of the title, "civic alliance" and the emblems thereof, constituting the new party designation under which the inde- pendents had rallied to the support of Hearst. As result of this move Tammany's ticket may appear under the emblems of three different parties on the official ballot-the straight democratic, the old Independence league, recently captured at the pri- maries, and lastly the new civic al- 1iance.' While Hearst may yet quail fy under an altogether new party name, the stratagem, if successful, will give Tammany an advantage of 3 to l in the matter of publicity on the ballot. But, doubtless, it will cause some confusion to voters in Tammanys interests besides causing additional trouble to the Hearst forces The final retention of the name. "ciyic alliance" as a Tammany lao aa ff<NVa which must be settled this week.
 May Be Case Ter Board of Elections
 to Decide.
 For this. the latest plan to discon- cert the Hearst followers, Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader, has to thank State Senator P. H. McCarren, the democratic leader of Brooklyn. It was while the promoters of Hearst's candidacy were getting signatures with which to put their ticket into the field under the lnarne of rcivic alli- arce," that the astute Brooklyn sena- tor, according to reports had his lieu tenants at work on similar docu- ment, except that Tammany candi- dates were substituted for the Hearst ticket.
 Just before three o'clock yesterday afternoon three of McCarren's men rushed into the office of President Dooling of the board of elections in New York, and unfolded a petition by independent voters" who had adopt ed the name of civic alliance" but who named the Tammany candidates.
 Nineteen minutes later James A. Allen, a Hearst lieutenant, appeared with the bona fide petition, name and emblem of the civic alliance.
 Since neither petition had more than fifty signatures they were not com plete, for the law requires two thou sand names. In case both the Mo- Carrenites and Hearst's followers com- plete the list of names it will be a case for the board of elections to decide.
 Formal Protest from Hearst Men.
 Charles E. dehring, who is Hearst's political manager. said he was not at all put out by the scheme. He was positive that Hearst's rights had been fully protected by the filing of name and emblem with the secretary of etate at Albany on Friday. - Hearsts representatives will appear tomorrow before the board of cleo tions to protest formally, and 1t is said they will carry the case to the courts, | if necessary.
 Anyway" said MT. Gehring. "it won't make much difference. Mir | Hearst can run under a straw hat, | If necessary"
 Any confusion which may come of | the contest over the civic alliance will | affect the republican fusion forces as well as Hearst for Hearst accepted | the independent nomination with the | that he should annex | the remainder of the republican-fu fusion | city ticket.

Barnard, the republican-fu- sion candidate for mayor, and John Purroy Mitchell, candidate for con- troller on the same ticket, spoke to s large audience tonight at the Man 1artanC anCongregational church This was the only Sunday political speaking At the independently meeting in Carne- gie hall tomorrow night it Is expected that county and borough tickets will be nominated and it is predicted that they will include practically all the fusion candidates, though there is tome dissatisfaction among Hearst's followers that such a condition was 10 run for mayor, and there may be lew minor changes.
