Hylan Hearst's Proxy,
Says Mayor Mitchell
At Brooklyn Rallies
Editor Pictured as Intimate of
Bolo Pacha, Kaiser's
Master Spy

Mayor Mitchell. continuing his fusion
campaign at three meetings in Brooklyn
last night. sgain put William Randolph
Hearst in the public pillory as an ex-
ponent Of Kaiserism.
He declared that the election Of
Judge Hylan meant the election OF Mr..
Hearst by proxy and that victory for
Hearst "and his partner, Charles F.
Murphy" meant the turning OF the city
government over "to a brutal lot of prl-
vate spectators and public plunderers."
In denunciation of Hearst's pro-Ger-
manism, Mayor Mitchell said that
Hearst had not only entered into a
secret alliance with Murphy, but was an
intimate Of Germany's master spy. Bolo
Pacha, who distributed the kaiser's
slush fund TO corrupt French and
American newspapers
Asks Questions of Hylan
To Judge Hylan the Mayor. address
ing meeting az Sangerbund Hall.
Smith and SchermcrhOrn streets put
four questions. He said Judge Hylan
had been asked the questions by news
paper reporters, but that the candi-
date had refused 20 answer them. The
questions were:
First ask Judge Hylan whether
he indorses the sinister and unpatriotic
activities Of Mr.. Hearst.
Second ask him whether he APP
proves Mr.. Hesrsts policy of placing
the American flag on the front page OF
his newspaper and stabblng his country
in the back on the editorial page?
Third ! ask him whether he consid-
ers Mr.. Hearst patriotic American?
FOURTH ask him. finally. if he be-
lieves that Mr.. Hearst was correct in
1915, when he declared that Mr.. Muir
ply should be put in jail when he de
scribed the leaders Of Tammany Hall
as a brutal lot OF private spectators
and public plunderers?
From the circumstances leading TO
the nomination Of Judge Hylan there
is only one conclusion" asserted Mayor
Mitchell
"An administration headed by Judge
Hylan will be in reality an admins
tration headed by Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Hearst. Mr.. Hearst selected him and
Mr.. Murphy nominated him. Mr.. Hearst
sponsored him and Mr.. Murphy is try
ing 10 elect him. Mr.. Hearst's en-
poyos are managing his campaign and
Mr. Murphy's henchmen are trying TO
place him in the Mayors chair. To
discover what principles Of government
Judge Hylan represents you must read
Mr.. Hesrst's newspapers.
Pays Respects to Hearst
Again. at Decorior Hall, $40 Gates
Avenue. Mayor Mitchell devoted much
Of his speech 10 Mr.. Hearst. He said
people throughout the country had their
eyes on New York City's election. He
said the people of Chicago were won
dering whether Mayor like William
Hale Thompson, who is accused Of
espousing the German cause, was TO be
elected here.
After referring to the famous eulogy
of Mr.. Hearst published by Or. Stein in
1914 IN the "Vossische Zeitung," a
newspaper published in Germany,
which said that Coun Won Bernstorf
had captured the American newspaper
king" Mayor Mitchell said:
you, who have daily observed the
adroit and cunning advocacy of the
Kaiser's interests by The New York
American and MIR. Hearst's other
papers, know that, if possible, DR.. Stein
moderated Mr.. Hearsts service to the
country with which your country is
now at war
1T is clear that. if Mr.. Hearst and
the kaiser's press are 10 be believed,
Judge Hylan represents brutal lot
Of private spectators and public plum
derers. He represents man whom
Mr.. Hearst wanted 10 put in jail before
he and Murphy formed & partnership.
and last, but not least, he represents
the Hohenzollerns. do not ask you
TO take my word for il. ! prove il by
the words of Judge Hylan's friends
and the friends Of the friends Of Judge
Hylan.'
Replies to Hurlburt
Speaking before the Long Island
Business College. the Mayor accused
Representative Hurlbut of having
made a Tammany speech in Congress
last Wednesday "for no other purpose
than 10 use the frank Of the mails to
get Tammany argument TO the voters
Of New York free of cost"
"The purpose OF the attack which
Congressman Hurlbut made upon me
in Congress was not 10 interest Con-
gress in a municipal election said
Mayor Mitchell. 1T was 10 make the
United States government pay part of
the expenses Of the Tammany cam
paign.'
