New York April Mayor Gay
nor ana William r. Hearst both issued
statements tonight on the issue OF
Veracity raised last night ut the joint
banquet 0f the Associated Press and
the Newspaper Publishers associa-
tiOn when the mayor said that Mr.
Hearst was forger and q falsifier
supplementary statements We're is
sued by Comptroller Prendergast. for
MGR Comptroller Metz, and the dis
trict attorneys office following
rumors that there was a possibility OF
future legal proceedings as result
ol the mayors address last night.
Mr. Iloarst's statement follows.
Il am not entirely familiar with all
tho accusations against Mayor Gaynor
or his attempt to divert attention
from them hy an attack upon the
American have Just returned from
Mexico
"It is obvious to anyone, however.
that the mayors defense Is false upon
IT'S face.
iitS NAitAh hBhli lilf Aitttll'ttl -
entirely disingenuous and wholly un-
truthful
His only claim, when it - an
alyzed, is that the American tailed to
print clearly the date on IA photo
Fraphic fac-simile of one OF the docu-
ments In the ease against him. al
though the American carried the
/ same date of the same document
clearly printed IN type IN the text OF
the article
What petty quibble for an i'm
portant man. or. rather, what q
quibbie for a petty man, who holds
nm important position.
Anybody who knows the high
character Of the gentlemen who edit
the American knows thnt no matter
how much they might despise Mayor
Gaynor they would never geek 10 take
am unfair advantage OF him.
Anybody who knows the ability Of
the gentlemen who cdit the Ameri
can, knows that ii they had desired
to omit the date OF any document
they would not have been so childish
as 90 print The the date conspicuonsiy
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 one,
anyhow. but that the important date
is the date of January :, date in
Mayor Gaynor's administration upon
which the payment to Cohalan Of
$4S 000 was finally signed and actn-
ally authorized. The January sig
nature WAS affixed bv the assistant
chamberlain in the office OF Chamber
lain HYDE, MT Gayn0r's law partner
This latter gentleman, who IS
uopuarly known as Gaynor's thick
hyde is not only Gaynor's law part
ner. bnt the person who figured con
spicuously in Gaynor's golf bah de
osion in favor of race track gambling.
''rhe two constitute the Dr, Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde Of Law and politics.
MT. Chamberlain Hyde claims that
his assistant chamberlain Is a hold
over from the last administration.
Hut assuredly he is 20 very per-
mnncnt hold-Over, for he IS still as
sistani chamberlain, although the last
administration has been for months
out OF office
mir. Hyde might go so far as to
explain why this same assistant
chamberlain was NOT allowed to sign
the Cohalan warrant under the last
administration. and why he was al
lowed go sign the warrant under the
present administration.
"Why do not MT Gaynor and his
thic1-hNdc discuss the date of Jan
uury .. about when there is no ques-
tion ot had printing. about which
there is merely "a question of bad ad-
Why do Mr. Gaynor ana MIR. Hyde
So earnestly seek To avoid the real
question at issue and to devote them
selves To the technicalities Of news

Mir. GaNnor says the American
does not print clearly.
~ say that Mr.. Gaynor does nor
answer clearly.
And the really important thing is
for Mr. GaNuor, mayor of New York,
guardian of the peoples property, to
answer clearly and quickly.
