cock Was "Double Crossed
by Whitman.

Attornsy-G General Merton f Lewis re-
esnts the attacks that are being made
on him In the Hearst newspa pers as the
''Bcoss" candidate and yesterday showed
. disposition to come back along this
line.
MY acquaintance with booze Is very
limited. II booze IS to be the issue In
this campaign I am willing to istt the
battle on those lines I have endeavored
to induce the Governor to tell the people
why he favors the ratification of the
Federal prohibition amendment. Did the
Governor talk with Brisbane about pro-
hibition at their recent private confer
ence at the st. Regis Hotel? How far
does the Governor desire to 20 into this
matter7 I am willing TIA he shall 20
as far az he likes How about II. Gov
ernor1 Shall 60 as far as like
Recalling the afiidavits that the At
torney-Gen oaics got from former
employees OF the apartment house In
which Mr.. Hearst lives in regard to the
Visits Of Bolo Pasha and Won Bernstorf,
anu OK oa" 'hat was p'anhea AS h~'e'
well to Bolo Mr.. Lewis said:
1T appears from the amdavits tha'
Mr.. Hearst supplied whiskey, champagne
ana cordials for the entertainment OF
fis guests to such an extent that the
empty bottles were carried away In
barrels and bags. 1t Is doubtful " there
10 any one among Mr. whitman's sup
porters who has q more intimate knowl.
edge Of booze and the effect Of booze
than Mr.. Hearst himself"
