Bennett Opens Fight
On Mitchell Tomorrow
Will File Petition With Elec-
tons Board; To Head Re-
publican Ticket

William NJ. Bennett, former State
Senator confirmed last night the re-
port that he would head straight Re-
publican city ticket in the primaries
against Mayor Mitchell. His petition
will be filed with the Board of Elec-
tions tomorrow.
An effort will be made to gather be-
hind the Bennett boom all the anti
Mitchell and pro-Cropsey sentiment.
Mr.. Bennett made public statement in
which he accused William Hamlin
Childs, the Fusion leader, of seeking
to nullify the direct primary law in
favor of personally conducted tick
et." He attacked the Brooklyn patron
age deal which destroyed Justice Crop
sey's boom, and called Mitchell and
Adsmson Tammany Democrats.
His candidacy is causing no disquiet
among Fusionists.
The committee which will conduct
the campaign of William L. Ransom,
counsel to the Public Service Commits
sion, for District Attorney was an
nounced yesterday at Fusion headquar-
tiers as follows: Robert w. Bonynge,
Anthony P. Ludden, Samuel S. Koenig
Albert Ottinger, James r. Sheffield, W..
Bondy, Alfred Coke, jr., Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, John Kirkland Clark, Oscar
S. Straus, Frank S. O'Neil, William R.
Wilcox. Robert c. Morris, Isidor Was
servogel, Charles H. Griffiths and Clar-
ence Fay.
Mr.. Bonynge, president of the Re
publican Club, was Mr.. Ransom's chief
rival for the Republican and Fusion in
dorsement. AS Mr.. Ransom is now alb
sorbed in the fight Of the Public Ser
vice Commission to compel the B. R. 7.
to supply more cars he will be unable
for the present to give his own atten-
ton to his campaign.
The Fusion labor committee at its
regular meeting in Fusion headquar-
tiers Yesterday unanimously agreed to
pledge its hearty support to the city
ticket headed by Mayor Mitchell.

ing Hearst's dictation of Hylan to Muir
ply, They say, moreover, that l.. j.
0'Reilly, Hearst's confidential secre-
tary, has let Murphy know that these
petitions meet with his approval.
If Hearst is to enter the municipal
campaign as a candidate for Mayor he
can either enter the Democratic pri-
maries against Hylan, in which case it
will be necessary for him to file his
retition with the Board of Elections
tomorrow, or he can ignore the prima-
ries and go on the official ballot by
petition under an Independent designa-
ton. 1t is supposed that in either case
Murphy would try to throw him the

ing Hylan high and dry.
