 The direct statement that one thou sand dollars could purchase an editor ial in the Hearst publications. is the cause of action in the libel suit insti- tuted by William R. Hearst through his attorneys. and unless the publishers of Golfers can prove such to be the case it is believed they will have to pay heavy damages for their statements.
