Hearst Leaders Flee City
The Hearst boom for Governor col
lapsed like a punctured balloon early
this morning. Tonight Charles =.
Murphy in convention assembled named
a slate which contained not single
name that Hearst either suggested or
approved.
AT O'Clock this afternoon the Hearst
leaders, consisting of William J: Cor
ners, Mayor Eylan and Joseph 4.
Moore, convinced that the fight had
been lost. inconrinently fed the city.
leaving the boss to name Alfred &.
Smith and the remainder of the state
ticket without let or hindrance.
It was the uncompromising attitude OF
Smith that made this result possible.
Ills steady refusal to run on the same
ticket with his ancient enemy finally
forced Murphy 20 surrender Had
onlth wavered for single instant
tne eaitor would have been put on the
ticket as United States Senator.
But Smith stood pat. And II +ts
wee small hours, the boss convinced
that there could be no compromise.
abandoned his efforts to secure har.
mony at any price and consented 20
the terms imposed by the former Gov
ernor.
Smiths victory is not only q victorv
over aea-st. 1t is d defeat of Murnhv
