Ough President Riegelmann accented
the resignation Of Chairman Nathan S.
Jonas, who defed Hearst, soldiers at
home and overseas are signifying their
Indignation at the idea of a Hearst
controlled welcome
Will People Stand Hearst, One Asks
An example of this caustic comment
is the following paragraph from let
ter by Lieutenant Walter f. Clips, Of
the SO4th Machine Gun Battalion, En-
pire Division, writing from Blossom
yille France:
when We do get back. what an in
suit and disgrace t will be TO have
Hearst receive us. Z wonder if the 100
per cent true Americans in New York
will stand Tor Hylan's political aD-
pOintment of Hearst? You have no
idea how strong the feeling is among
me officers and men of our division.
We want red-blooded American TO
formally welcome US. We ask nothing
more. Do we deserve anything less ?''
Evidences were renewed yesterday
hat many of those VINO contributed
TO the Brooklyn welcome fund under
me original management do not want
political committee to spend their
money. Six contributors already have
their contributions back. =,
Six Get Their Money Back
Mrs. Maude R. Mayne wrote yester
Jay to Borough President Riegelmann:
VI am filled with indignation and
distress when l think that man of
the character of William r. Hearst
should presume TO dictate 10 Brook
yn l have, therefore, returned to
the SIX donors the checks | had OBJ
laned from them"
Oswald n. Jacoby, g lawyer. whose
New York office is at 14O Nassau
Street, wrote:
II should not have contributed
doiiar to any committee under the con-
lF0I Of the Mayor or Borough Presi-
aen,. My contribution was based
soleiy upon my confidence and re-
rance in Mr.. Jones. chairman Of the
