ALBANY, Jan. 1.--Both Democratic
and Republican legislators who ar
rived here tonight for the opening of
the Legislature tomorrow noon de-
clare that the Hearst-Hylan municipal
ownership programme for New York
City is doomed.
Upstate Democrats not friendly to
Mr.. Hearst's gubernatorial ambitions,
frankly admit that the radical lcgisla
tion determined upon at conferences in
New York attended by Mayor Hylun,
Senator Robert T.. Wagner, Senator
James A. Foley, Borough President AL
fred Smith and other Tammany lead
ers was conceived with the sole 3ur-
pose OF advancing Mr.. Hcarst's politi-
cal fortunes.
Republicans are unanimously op-
posed to the municipal ownership leg
lslatlon. pointing out that not only is
New York City in no financial condi-
ton to spend upward of $4,000 ,O0O, 900
IN acquiring and operating public utili-
ties. but that this is not the time for
the state or any subdivision thereof
to engage in the spending of vast
sums Of money in experimental enter
prlses.
Hard Shedding" Predicted
Tammany legislators seem not to
take the municipal ownership Fro
gramme any too seriously. Some ad-

Hearst's s Relations
With Hylan Strained
Over City Ownership

Relations between Mayor John T..
Hylan and William r. Hearst are
strained to the breaking point over mu-
nicipal ownership and operation Of
public utilities. 1t is understood that
Controller Craig is not at this time
ready to support any line Of adminis-
trative policy looking to municipal
ownership and operation Of the sub
ways. He is said to be fearful that the
tinancicrs will be hostile to the hota-
tion of, revenue bonds il he tries at
this time to boost municipal ownership.
The Controller will have to raise
about $4,000, 900 by the sale Of short
term revenue bonds during the present
fiscal year. Until that undertaking is
out Of the way. it is understood, the
Controller will not undertake any eX-
perimcntation with new things.
Supervision Present Aim
The Controllers friends say that a
more pronounced municipal super
vision Of public utilities is better than

by Mayor Hylan will in all proebabll-

certain existing departments and
transferring their functions to other
departments.
Considerable opposition to the bill
which Senator Wagner announced he
will introduce to give New York City
power to create or abolish city de-
partments without the necessity of
legislative action has already devel-
oped. Legislative leaders of tho ma
iority party declared tonight that
any such broad grant Of power would
not be given to New York City.

New Controller Discovers the
City's Treasury in Good
Shape as He Take Office

Judged by the fiery oratory of the
Tammany spellbinders last fall, Con-
troller Charles L. Craig stood to in
herit from William A. Prendergast a
practically empty city treasury and a
handsome private shower bath. The
new Controller yesterday found the
city treasury in much better shape than
he anticipated. After the simple and
informal ceremony marking the retire
ment of MIR. Prendergast and the in
duction Of the new Controller, Craig
found that the city had financial lee

municipal ownership and that the
Controller is coming around to that
point of view. 1t is believed that the
Controller has conferred with the
Mayor and that they are acting to-
gether in the matter.
According to the story yesterday at
the City Hall, Mr. Hearst sent mes
senger to Mayor Hylan asking him to
restate, for Mr.. Hearst's information,
his views on municipal ownership and
the best way to obtain necessary legis-
lation to carry forward the crusade.
Nothing to Say to Hearst
Tell Mr.. Hearst that l haven't any
thing to say" is the reported reply of

the Mayor. Later one of Mayor Hy-
lan's associates placed in the hands Of
the Hearst emissary copy of the
Mayors campaign speech covering the
subject Of municipal ownership. This
did not fill the. bill or appease Mr.
Hearst, who desired a new definition
of the Mayors attitude Failing to get
it, it is believed that Mr.. Hearst will
soon force the Mayor TO a "show-
down."

An Outrageous Chaege

We hope in taking over the tel egraph Mir. Burleson will not proceed to make the service more costly. When he took over the telephone he put in some charges that were outrageous, unfair and oppressive.
 The telephone company, under private ownership, installed an instrument in the private resi- dence and made no charge. The government slapped on a charge of S10. The government finally became ashamed of this gouge and, we are informed, cut the charge to $3.50.
 There should not be any charge for the installation of the tele- phone. It is just as bad for a concern, under government own ership, to skin the public as it is for the same under private own ership to skin the public.
 It must be said in fairness to the local telephone company that during the last two years, in spite of all the handicaps, con- sistent and sincere effort has been made to keep the service up to a decent standard. It is gratifying that the service was not materially weakened by the war. At the same time there was a spirit of accom- modation manifested by the local company. Commercial Appeal.

All Work Ordered Stopped At Picron

Orders have been received at the picric acid plant, stopping all work, government officials said last night. The officials, howev- CT, refused to make any state. ment, beyond the admission that the orders had been received.
 The future of the big plant at Picron is now under considera tlon in Washington, and it's con version to a fertilizer plant is being considered. Part of the machinery now installed will be suitable for work in nitrates, up on which some fertilizers are based, and the value of the plant row in operation, local business men believe. will prevent the lo- tai abandonment of the plant.
