HEARST GOES
AFTER MAYOR
Says All Sorts of Things Re-
garding Gaynor in Reply to
Latter's Attack at Banquet
OF Newspaper Publishers.

New York, April 29.-Mayor Gaynor
and William r. Hearst both made
statements tonight on the issue of
veracity made at the banquet of the
Associated Press and the Newspaper
publishers association last night, when
and a faIsifier.
Supplementary statements were is
sued by Comptroller Prendergast, for
mer Comptroller Metz and the district
attorneys office, following rumors that
there was possibility of future legal
proceedings as a result of the mayors
address last night.
Mr.. Hearsts statement follows:
L am not entirely familiar with all
the accusations against Mayor Gaynor
or his attempt to divert attention from
them by an attack on the American. /
have just returned from Mexico.
1t is obvious 10 any one, however,
that the mayors defense is false upon
its face.
His attack upon the American is
entirely disingenuous and wholly un-
truthful.
His only claim, when it is analysed,
is that the American failed to print
clearly the date on a Photographic fac
smile OF one of the documents in the
case against him, although the Amer
lean carried the same date of the same
document clearly printed in type in
the text of the article.
Praises His Editors.
what a petty bubble for an impor-
tant man, or, rather, what a bubble
for petty man, who holds an impor-
tant positiOn Anybody who knows
the high character of the gentlemen
who edit the American knows that no
matter how much they might despise
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 If they had desired to omit the
date of any document they would not
have been so childish as to print the
date conspicuOusly in the type while
they were leaving it out of the pic
ture.
Finally. anybody who can read and
think can see clearly that the date in
question is not the important date any
how, but that the important date is
the date of January 4. a date in Mayor
Gaynor's administration upon which
the payment to Cohalan of $4,000 was
finally signed and actually authorized.
The January 4 signature was affixed
by the assistant chamberlain in the
office OF Chamberlain Hyde, Mr.. Gay
nor's law partner.
'"This latter gentleman, who Is pop
ularly known as 'Gaynor's thick Hyde.
is not only Gaynor's law partner, but
the person who figured conspicuously
In Gaynor's golf ball decision IN favor
of race track gambling.
JekyII and Hyde Affair.
1.-THE two constitute the DR.. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde of law and politics.
''Mr. Chamberlain Hyde claims his as
sistant chamberlain is a hold-over
from the last administration.
But assuredly he is a very perman-
ent holdOver. for he is still assistant
chamberlain, although the last admin
istration has been out of office, for
months
"Mr. Hyde might go so far as to ex-
plain why this same assistant cham
berlain was not allowed to sign the
COhalan warrant under the last admin
istration and why he was allowed to
sign the warrant under the present ad-
ministration.
why do not Mr.. Gaynor and his
thick Hyde discuss the date of Janu-
airy I, about which there is no question
Of bad printing, about which there is
merely a question of bad administra-
ton?
