of the Associated Press and the News
paper Publishers Association, when
the mayor said that Mr.. Hearst was
a forger and a falsifer.
Mr. Hearst's statement follows in
lpart;
Mayor Gaynor's attack upon the
American is entirely disingenuous and
wholly untruthful
His only claim. when II is analyz.
ed, is that the American failed to
print clearly the date on a photo.
graphic facsimile of one Of the docu-
ments in the case against him, al.
though the American carried the same
date of the same document clearly
printed in type in the text Of the ar.
ticle.
What a petty quibble for an inn
portant man, or rather what a quib-
bic for petty man who holds an i'm.
portant position!
Anybody who knows the high
character OF the gentlemen who edit
the American knows that no matter
how much they might de5pise Mayor
Gaynor they would never seek to take
an unfair advantage of him.
Anybody who knows the ability OF
the gentlemen who edit the American
knows that II they had desired to omit
the date of any document they would
not have been so childish as to print
the date conspieuously in the type
while they were leaving It out of the
picture.
Finally, anybody who can read and
think can see clearly that the date in
question is not the important date,
anyhow, but that the important date
in question is not the important date
in Gaynor's administration upon
which the payment to Cohalan of S4s..
600 was finally signed and actually
authorized. The January signature
was affixed by the assistant chamber.

"This latter gentleman, who is pop

Is not only Gaynor's law partner but
the person, who figured conspicuously
in Gaynors golf ball decision in favor
OF race-traek gambling.
"The two constitute the Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde of law and politics.
Mr.. Chamberlain Hyde claims that
his assistant chamberlain is hold.

But assuredly he is a very perman-
ent hold-over, for he Is still assistant

Mr.. Hyde might go so far as to
explain why this same assistant cham

why do not Mr. Gaynor and his /
discuss the date Of January |
{, about which there is no question
Of bad printing, but which is merely

why do Mr. Gaynor and Mr. Hyde
