Offer Said to Have Been Made
to Metz to Run for Con-
troIIer on League
Ticket.
mitchell IN SEA OF ADVICE
Leaders Divided as to Whether
He Should Accept All Anti
Tammany Support Of
fered-Allen Willing
to Withdraw.

Just when 1t seemed that John Pur-
roy Mitchell. fusion candidate for
Mayor, had settled in his mind that he
would not throw William Randolph
Hearst over and that he might go back
on the ticket of the independence
League for Mayor, a new complication
entered the situation last night. 1t
was reported the leaders OF the league
Herman a. Metz. the Tammany can
didate for Controller, TO go on its ticket
for the same office.
Many OF the fusion leaders said last
Mitchell could possibly run on an anti
Tammany platform and also on a ticket
containing some Of the Tammany can
didates. 1t was believed the league
might possibly take Congressman
Goulden also. who is running for Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen on the
Tammany ticket
After the latest development Mr..
Mitchell declared he would not say a
word on the situation. Earlier in the
dan. even before James A. Allen. the
Independence League candidate for
Mayor. had written to him Offering to
withdraw in his favor, Mr.. Mitchell had
said:
NO one has urged me 10 repudiate
Mr.. Hearst Why should ]? l intend
to do nothing 10 turn away votes / can
get for the fusion ticket. Hearsts or
anybody else's."
Believe Hearst Might Run.
Friends of Mr.. Mitchell almost with
out exception. so il is said. have ad-
vised him to take the league nomina-
tion for Mayor. 1t seems that they
have been led TO believe Mr.. Hearst in
tends % run for Mayor himself If
Mitchell does not accept the place. They
figure that Hearst would get at least
5000 votes that otherwise would go
TO Mitchell. and that it might spell the
defeat OF Mitchell, IS il did of Otto T.
Barnard four years ago. However. this
advice came without any knowledge
that the league might take Tammany
candidates for the other places on the
city ticket.
Francis Lynde Stetson, who has made
a good sized contribution to the Mitchell
campaign fund, said ho did not see why
the candidate should not take a nom
ination from any Of the anti-Tammany
bodies. The question is whether the
league could be considered an anti
Tammany body il it took Tammany
men for its candidates.
Norman Hapgood, chairman Of the
general fusion committee, last night
wrote TO Mitchell asking him to take
the league nomination. He said;
Il hope very much you will decide 20
run on the Independence League tick
ct. / realize fully the considerations Of
loyalty that led you TO refuse in the
first place, but think that objection
can be answered. There is no use in
being too much guided by fears of

the other hand, may not. II situa-
ton should come about in which other
