specint Dispatch to THE New YORK HrRALp
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind, Nov. Il.
Talking Hearst and buses, Mayor
Hylan arrived to-day for his confer
ences with Charles #. Murphy. Tam
MANY leader. Grover Whalen, COM
missioner of Plant and Structures,
came with him. Thes Mayor wants
buses Immediately for New York and
wants Hearst nominated for President
in 1924.
Before the Mayor hands out the
basketful of plums he has to distribute
he wants to know definitely what Gov
ernor-elect AL Smith is going to do
when the new State administration
begins to function in Albany on jan
uary /.
The way ahead is not smooth Tor
Chief. Murphy. even with all the patron
age and glory coming from his recent
victory in New York. His task as
neacemaker between City Hall and AL
bany may be difficult
Mayor Hylan apparently does not look
with favor on talk about Smith for
Hearst comes first. The Mayor gave the
Tammany men something of jolt In the
midst of their merrymaknS when he
said to-day:
'.If the Democratic party does not
nominate a man like Hearst or Hiram
johnson in 1924 and keep it's promise
to the people there will be third party
as sure as the sun rises"
silent About Smith.
"Do you limit rne choice TO Johnson
and Hearst?' the Mayor was asked.
"These names occur to me first" <,
Would you include AL Smith in that
lst?"
The Mayor did not answer.
Boss Murphy and the Tammany men
are enthusiastic in their devotion to
Smith. They frown at the suggestion of
Hearst.
Isn't 1t rather early TO talk about
the 1924 candidatesI" the Mayor was
asked.
mot a bit; this is just the time to
talk about it," he replied. The old line
conservatives who make election prom
ises and forget them must come to
realize quickly that that sort of thing
does not go any more"
Tho third party talk does not appear
to frighten the Tammany men, 1t does
worry them, however, because of the
possibility Of the old Hearst question
making trouble with City Hall in the
next year or two
The Mayor wants his buses to come
from Albany. He will ask that Gov.
Smith and the Legislature take their
first action on that subject within two
or three weeks after the Democrats take
over the State Government.
Only legislation which will authorize
the city To go ahead with a free hand
in establishing bus lines and putting
buses into operation Immediately will
satisfy the Mayor.
Promises 500 Buses.
"If the Legislature gives US the au-
thority TO go ahead. as IL Should. we VIII
have 500 to 600 buses operating In New
York within n few months. all for
Ave cent fare, and that will give imme-
diate relief to traffic." the Mayor said.
The Mayor walked around the hotel
grounds this forenoon. He is not en-
thusiastic over the resort. He says IL
is not his sort of fun. He does not like
all frili. Grover Whalen hurried out to
find highstrung horse for dash across
the hills. There was some surprise the
Mayor did not play golf. He was asked
what game he did like.
Il spend my time fighting the inter-
ests." he said.
He walked around the links with Mr.
Murphy's foursome all the afternoon and
observed the bosss fine drives and ap-
proaches. They strolled together between
holes we'll out OF earshot of even the
Tammany men. Tonight they had din
ner together and spent the evening In
their rooms. The Mayor will be here
until Saturday.
