The emphatic denial by Mayor Hylan
yesterday that he would be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, following q brief conference at
City Hall with William r. Hearst, has
added to the uncertainty of the Demo
cratic leaders at this time in regard
to candidates.
Mr.. Hearst's visit to the Mayors of
flce, followed close upon their exchange
OIL letters, In which each expressed an
Individual desire that the other run
Tor Governor: Some Of the politicians
interpreted the Mayors flat statement
as clearing the way for the candidacy
of the publisher. The Mayor said, how
ever, that Mr.. Hearst had merely indi-
Gated his Willingness TO support any
candidate who stood for the principles
enunclated recently by the Democratic
Women's Alliance, which are, in fact.
the Hearst-Hylan doctrines.
Mr. Hearst remained only a few
minutes with the Mayor in his private
office. He had nothing to saw after
the conference. The Mayor submitted
himself to an interview with the news
paper men. He declared that ne could
not afford to be Governor and live in
the Executive Mansion. He gave that
as reason for not seeking the nomi-
nation. He declared if he should run
and be elected he would havc 30 live
IN hotel or a furnished room at
Albany. He also repeated mis- former
declaration that he intended to keep
ms promise to the people of New York
City to work for them until the expira-
ton of his present term in Office.
THE salary of the Mayor is $4,000
8 year, and ! can live at home here
IN my little house on Bushwick Ave
nue." said the Mayor "If | was
elected Governor of this state honestly,
as | would be, l couldn't afford to live
in the Executive Mansion. I would
have to live in hotel or a furnished
room"
The Mayor said that Mr.. Hearst had
asked him to point out definitely what
he thought he (Hearst) ought do
ito restore the state to the people
from the control of the corporate in
terests."
II told him." said the Mayor, "he
ought to do as Samuel j. Tilden did to
help the Democratic organizatio and
TO go into every country and Senatorial
district and organize them so that Sen
ators and Assemblymen may be nomi-
mated whose sympathies are with the
people, and who are not controlled by
the public utilities corporations of the
state. | told him it looked to me as if
the public utilities corporations CON
trolled the Republican party and had
men nominated who would do the bid
ding of these corporations. l said
thought the people were hoping to
have candidate nominated by the
Democratic party who will stand by
the people, and that the time had come
for some one representing the people
to begin thoroughly organizing up
state localities and to have expunged
from the registry lists the names of
those who have died"
The Mayor said that Mr.. Hearst quite
agreed with his views. The Mayor said
Mr.. Hearst also agreed with him that
the question of candidate was not to
be considered before a thorough organ
ization of upstate localities is started.
Then, the Mayor declared, the cand-
date for Governor and all other state
officials, particularly for Senators and
Assemblymen, could pledge themselves
to support the people.
"Did Mr.. Hearst indicate he was
seeking the Democratic nomination for
Governor? the Mayor was asked.
"No, he didn't" replied the Mayor.
