New York, May 3.-A buoyant up

nor declares the date was routed off
the cut. The fight between the two
men is becoming national in its sccse,
as Democratic leaders were jubilapt
over the fact that Hearst was ready to
support the Democratic ticket under
certain conditions. The speech Of May
Or Gaynor before the American News

which he openly attacked Hearst. has
only widened the CneTences between
the two men, and the courts may be

held the position in the past, and had
also held other positions in the county.
He applied for the position, which the
state desired filed before the first day
of June, and as his former work had
been so satisfactory to the depart

an official communication of his ap-
pointment, and he will be ready to go
to work shortly.
The Proceedings.
The meeting was a special one last

Commissioner Johnson was absent.
Commissioners Davis, Steward and Nc
Quarrie constituted the quorum.

New York, May 3.-SCharges and
countercharges are flying thick and
fast between Mayor Gaynor and W. R.
Hearst since the publication in the
Hearst paper of fac-simile of
voucher for $4,000 in favor of Daniel
F. Cohalan. one of the active leaders
of Tammany Hall, and signed by May
or Gaynor. New York's mayor takes
the position that Hearst is guilty Of
forgery and Justification of public rec
ords, and he has been in conference
with the district attorneys office with
the idea of laying the matter before
the grand jury. On the other hand,
Editor Hearst has charges he is said
to be preparing against the mayor for
the inspection of the grand jury. IN
the meantime both men have been
hurting bitter statements at each
other, Hearst declaring he will dupli-
cate his efforts in New York when he
drove San Francisco's mayor to Jail.
Hearst says it was an error of printing
in leaving off the date of the Cohalan
voucher, which would go to show that
the money paid to the Tammany law
yer was contracted for under the ad-
ministration of Mayor Mcclellan. Gay
