The reading out Of the party of for
mer State Chairman Huppuch and
other anti-Hea1st Democrats is under
stood to have been decided at con-
ference which was attended by Mr..
Hearst himself. The political ex-
patriation Of Mr.. Huppuch and his as
sociates was formally made in state

reading:
There are some. who have been
Democrats, whose interest in public
service corporations would make them
bolt Mr.. Hearst"
"Only Hearst and Hylan"
The statement, which was issued by
Mr.. Conners as his own creation, read

Mr. Hearst is not a strong candidate
should use a little knowledge of human
nature.
"Only Mr.. Hearst and Mayor Hylan
