SYRACUSE, June H. Returning
from tour around tho state during
which she attended meetings Of Demo-
cratic women, Miss Harriet May Mills,
associate chai nan Of the Democratic
State Committee, declared to-day she
had found no sentiment Ia favor Of
Hearst among Democratic women, but
plenty OF sentiment against him per-
sonally.
Miss Mills is against Hearst and in
clined toward Alfred +. Smith. She
believes most OF the women have re-
NAMED silent on the Hearst boom.
believing that II did not amount 20
much.
There Is no reason why women Of
the state should be FOR Hearst" she
said. "and / believe there are many
reasons why they should be against
him. The voters have been against
him several times before and have no
doubt that the feeling will be even
more pronounced AZ the present time.
Hearst Is not entitled 10 anything from
the Democratic party. He opposed
former Governor Smith and two years
ago conducted campaign against Gov
CrnOr Cox"
Miss Mills will go TO New York Mon
day 20 attend the picnic Of the Kings
County Democratic women at Coney ISL
and Tuesday. She will speak at re-
ception az the opening Of the new club

cratic women az Rye and Wednesday
