Special Correspondence

Spectdt Correspondence
ALBANY, Oct. 22.-After waiting
vainly for four days for a reply from
William Randolph Hearst to his chal-
lenge to debate, Governor Smith to- day
resumed his attack on the editor-p poll
tician and his new spapers. In letter
to Mayor Hylan the Governor put re-
sponsibility up to the Mayor and his
Health Commissioner for the sale of
impure milk, which Hearst's papers
charged was being conducted in the
city without interference by the Gov
ernor.
The Governor wrote to Mayor
Hylan, calling attention to what had
been published in the Hearst news
papers. The Governor directed Mayor
Hylan's attention to the provisions in
the Charter and the Sanitary Code of
the City Of New York making the
Mayors own Commissioner Of Health
directly responsible for preventing the
sale OF unclsan milk.
Responsibility on Hylan
The enforcement of the provisions
of this Sanitary Code and of these rules
and regulations rest with the Depart
ment of Health of the City of New
York, the executive officer of which is
the Commissioner of Health, who is ap-
pointed by you, the Mayor of the City
Of New York." wrote Gov. Smith.
"If unclean milk is being sold in
New York City, your Commissioner Of
Health ought to know that fact. If. on
the other hand, an unclean newspaper
is again misrepre senting facts the pub
lie should know that fact"
The Governor charged that the whole
campaign waged against him by Mr..
Hearst and his newspapers is due to
his refusal to do Hearst's bidding, and
said that, whether Hearst accepts his
challeIse or not, he will speak at the
first anti-Hearst meeting arranged and
tician and his newspapers.
Hearst and his dirty newspapers" /"
said the Governor, "are again misrepre-
scnting the facts with regard to the
milk situation. To suit his own pur-
poses and to inj ure me because l would
now bow the knee before him he has
endeavored in every way that he can
to put the impression into the public
mind that the Governor of this state
has the power to fix the price. OF milk.

Leaders Say Lloyd Georges
Plan is Not Worthy of
Consideration.
By Associated Press

By Associated Press:
LONDON. Dec. 23.-The Daily
Herald, labor organ. quotes opinions
on the government Irish home rule
plan. Arthur Griffith, founder Of
the Sim Fein organization and
acting president OF the Irish repub-
lic," said:
There is nothing for Irishmen to
discuss. The premier's proposals
are not intended to be operative but
are made to affect and mislead opin-
ion in the United States"
Poets Statement.
George Russell, the Irish poet,
declared:
There is nothing in the proposals
calculated TO produce reconciliation
and there is no reason why the Sim
Fein should cease working for the
obstruction Of the British empire.
Under Lloyd-George's proposal
Great Britain would retain complete
control over taxation, the trade pol
lev and economic development of
Ireland, which means that ireland
would be given not self government
but certain administrative pOweres.
Labor Secretary Talks.
William O. Brien, secretary OF the
Irish labor aud trade union congress.

The plan is unworthy Of serious
consideration. Il is manifestly for
