but when he was going ashore with his
wife reporter said to him:
I'm going to quote Mrs. Hearst as
saying that If there is an opportunity
she will take an active part in your

State Chairman Sits Tight
When Herbert C. Pell, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, was
asked yesterday when he would have
the conference with Mr.. Hearst, which
was proposed in Mayor Hylan's letter
to the editor politician, Mr.. Pell said ::
"Mr. Hearst has not asked for a con-
ference, so | cannot say what III do
until l hear from him"
Mr.. Bell, who had read the Mayor
letter, which many considered as a
threat to start third party if either
Mr.. Hearst or Mayor Hylan is not
nominated for Governor, said that he
gathered that what was proposed by
the Mayor was either bipartisan or
non-partisan movement to accomplish
something. And he added that he did
not see how the head of partisan
political organization could join in
such a movement.
Asked as to his choice for Governor,
he said:
"Of course l have personal choice,
but my position as State Chairman will
not permit me to say who he is.
notice that the Republican papers are
working hard to nominate Mr.. Hearst"
