CONNERS' IRISH UP
AT ERIE CHALLENGE
Hearst Leader, Reused by
Smith Endorsement, Starts
Fight Monday.

Editor Again Shrinks From
Nomination and Recon-
mends Hylan.
WILL BEGIN IN BUFFALO

Told by Charles F. Murphy. who
holds the Democratic political situation
in the hollow Of his hand this fall, to
say no more about the nomination of
William Randolph Hearst for Governor
until he could show Hearst delegates
from his home county-Erie--will,
j. Corners will go to Buffalo to take
charge OF the battle Monday.
The answer of William II. Fitzpatrick,
the Erie county leader, to the Corners
declaration OF fight for the delegates
was the Endorsement by the county COM
mittee of former Gov. Alfred Il. Smith,
Conners's Irish" went up Immediately
when he received that news yesterday
morning. He declared he would go in
person to Buffalo and make the fight
OF his life to retire Fitzpatrick to
oblivion and name Hearst delegates TO
the State convention.
Fitzpatrick follows the lead OF Mr..
Murphy Of New York. who is believed
to have advised tieing the Erie or
ganization up to Smith. That is the
plan Of campaign agreed upon. although
1t seems more evident every day that
the former Governor will go to almost
any length to prevent his nomination
for second term. He Continues to say
emphatically he does not want it.

A recent vehement declaration OF that
character Is believed to be responsible
for the starting OF search for a COM

new names will be trotted out from
day to day to get the reaction. Yester-

Politicians generally were taking a
great deal of interest yesterday In the
latest Hearst letter, in which he rejected
the plea of Justice John Ford Of the Su-
preme Court that he be candidate for
Governor and again handed the palm to
Mayor Hylan.
They were struck particularly by the
reference TO Mayor Hylan,s birth lii
Greene county. and Mr.. Hearst's decla-
ration: There is no other man men,

The most magical kind, for he could
make almost anything. In fact It
was he who had made the Green

made them for the Fairy Queen who
had given them 10 the Twins. He
had made the Fairy Queens wand
also, and the magic automobile OF
which she was so fond.
He had made lots OF other things
besides. The magical shovels Of the
Brownies, and the magical umbrella
