The cables have been busy for ten days
with efforts to put this compromise
through Hearst refuses to bite at the
aIluring bait held out TO him
There are indicetions that in event OF
the nomination OF Mr.. Gaynor for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket Hearst
will support Roosevelt or Roosevelts can
didate.
II is learned that the basis of the pro-
posed compromise was that Hearst should
support Gaynor. and in return was TO
have the Endorsement OF the democratic
machine and convention for the United
States senatorship. Likewise his man.

Hearst's Latest Pronunciamento.
The c'osing sentences OF the fifteen-
hunGred-word cablegram over Hearsts
signature interested the politicians.
Hearst says:
Come home TO New York. Mr.. Roose-
Welt, and honestly take the warpath
against the bosses. We independents are
Rhetting our tomahawks for the fray.

Construction by Politicians.
This is construed by politicians to be
an overture from Hearst to Roosevelt for
n coalition OF forces TO defeat Hearsts
enemies IN the democratic party and
Roosevelts In the republican party. 1t Is
also construed to mean that Hearst Is
either to be independent In the state
fight or to aid the republicans. And there

Some cynical persons Will sneer at
Hearst's proffer to support Roosevelt
They win recall that Roosevelt put the
crimp into Hearst's gubernatorial ambi-
tions-
running for governor. and seemed likely
to win, Roosevelt, then President OF the
United States, caused Secretary Root to
make the famous speech charging Hearst
the cartoons IN his paper. for the sugges-
ton which led Czolgosz to assasstnate
President Mckinley. Everybody remem-
bers how Hearst was defeated for gov
ernor. while his running mate. Chanler.
was elected lieutenant governor on the
democratic ticket
However. that feud was patched up
when Hearst sprang the Standard OH let
