DENOUNCES DEMOCRATIC
TICKET AS MURPHY'S

situation in New York is TO be COM
plicated by William r. Hearst putting
in a ticket in order TO aid Colonel
Roosevelt or else placing an entire
Independent ticket I'm the field to de-
lact votes from the Democratic
candidates was made certain to-day.
In leading first page editorials the
Hearst organ bitterly assails the
ticket nominated at Rochester, label it
as Of "Murphy's making" and insist
that it was nominated as part of a
plan of Tammany Hall to secure con-
troll of all OF the cities Of the state
The general opinitn Of the politl-
clans is that Hearst will endrose2Stim-
son and the remainder of the Repub-
lican ticket. They reason that when
Hearst said on September z: 1--WE do
not care who leads If only he leads
Alright; we do not care who gains the
glory as long as the people gain the
victory he paved the way for a dec
laration for the Republican ticket

Hearst. who is a passenger on the

be In touch with his organization by
wireless and will be as able to dictate
IT'S action as was Roosevelt at Sara
toga, or Murphy at Rochester.
That the Democratic leaders realize
that they will have TO fight Hearst
Is shown by a call for a conference

tensible purpose is a meeting of the
