The first is to find something on the mayor. or d pretext on whtch pe may be removed, and another appointed in his place, with lively hope that the ether may consent to ait scent fare. The other is that they hope MT Becker will enable them to find something on Will liam Randolph Hearst, who has been q thorn in the side of the Interborough and the traction commission for years, and man whom they consider to be the chief opponent of the granting of aB Scent fare.
 From the day the district attorney an- nounced to the extraordinary grand jury Mir.
