LARGE CLUB is FORMED

A movement was begun yesterday by
women Democrats to oppose the nomi-
nation OF william Randolph Hearst for
Governor or United States Senator.
Among the leaders was Mrs. Henry
Moskowitz. an ardent supporter of
former Governor Smith, who was named
by him to a position in the Port
Authority
The vehicle selected to start the drive,
which is expected to become Statewide,
was the Democratic women's Club OF
the Seventeenth Senate district. This
organization at luncheon in the Casino
in Central Park, was expanded into the
Democratic Women Of Manhattan.
Declare tion Is Adopted.
This declaration was adopted:
"At the election in New York State
this fall there are to be elected Gov
crnor and a United States Senator AS
Democrats we have deep interest In
the success of our party and We, there
fore, request the Democratic party In
convention assembled to nominate for
the highest principles of the Democratic
party and who as evidence OF their
loyalty shall have given in 1920 their
unqualified support to the Democratic
candidates for President. Governor and
United States Senator"
The resolution could not have indi-
Gated any more clearly that it meant Mr..
Hearst had it mentioned him by name.
Tho reference to 1920 and unqualified
support Is significant when 1t is re-
called that in the 1920 campaign Mr..
Hearst did not support James M. Cox
for President and that only in the clos
ing days of the campaign did he give up
attacking Alfred e. Smith for Governor
and Harry Walker for Senator.
The fact that the luncheon was given
in honor of Mrs. Emily Newell Blair.
